Ashes of Love
Episode 32
Jin Mi!
Jin Mi! Jin Mi!
Jin Mi!
Never thought that Jin Mi's trial would be this hard.
Liu Ying? Why is she here?
I'm sure Liu Ying is also worried about Second Highness' safety,
hence, our aim is the same.
There are so many crazy in love but unrequited in this world.
In my opinion, the person with the most infatuation but unrequited love toward the Second Highness
surely is you.
Let's first take care of the official matter.
Finish it fast.
Qiang Huo...is that the drum sound of their victory?
In defeating Liangguo this time, His Majesty signed a treaty with their king that there will never be war again.
That's good then...
That's good.
Qiang Huo,
once he returns,
you must personally tell him
that I didn't break my promise.
Oh, no.
Sorry.
Who are you!
Jin Mi! Jin Mi, stand up!
Mu Ci, are you going to continue to obstinately persist in your wrong ways?
If I don't kill her, I will never be able to go back!
It's after killing her that you won't be able to go back!
Jin Mi. Jin Mi, hurry!
Jin Mi...
I'm sorry.
Don't blame me.
With you accompanying me in this life,
I am very happy. If...
If there is a next life, let's be friends again.
♫ The wind gently blows past. ♫
♫ The heaven and earth are separated, by an immeasurable distance. ♫
Qiang Huo! ♫ But so what? ♫
Qiang Huo! ♫ The moonlight connects our yearning. ♫
♫ I am writing a love letter with our first meeting as the opening. ♫
♫ One section every ten thousand years, one line every a thousand years. ♫
These past years, having you beside me, I'm very happy. ♫ From then, we will never forget about each other, ♫
If...there is a next life, ♫ no matter how chaotic the world is. ♫
let's still be friends. ♫ In the love letter, I found the place where we met each other in each lifetime. ♫
♫ I will be waiting there to watch the sunset together. ♫
♫ In the love letter, I found the place where we fell in love in each lifetime. ♫
♫ I will be singing there, performing under the moonlight. ♫
Rou Rou...is it you? Rou Rou. ♫ In the love letter, I found the place where we met each other in each lifetime. ♫
Jin Mi. ♫ I plant a red lotus to bring a sweet aroma to time. ♫
I also remembered everything.
I know...that you've been bringing my real form by your side.
You did a lot of things. In this life,
you gave me one more chance to live.
I don't regret anything.
It's true.
Looks like this time, I'm really leaving.
Promise me. Don't be sad for me.
Rou Rou! Rou Rou...
♫ I will be waiting there to watch the sunset together. ♫
Rou Rou! Rou Rou!
♫ I will be singing there, performing under the moonlight. ♫
♫ In the love letter, I found the place where I made my wish in each lifetime. ♫
♫ I plant a red lotus to bring a sweet aroma to time. ♫
Rou Rou, why?
How come you saved me twice...
but I'm unable to make you stay?
WHY!
Mu Ci, I told you that if you hurt Jin Mi again, I'll treat you as my enemy.
I will not let you go today until I understand what's really going on.
Princess, you should stop inquiring about this matter.
Or else, you'll just put yourself in more danger.
Do you even still care about my safety?
You can think what you want.
You met up with Sui He. Are you working for Heavenly Empress?
Either you let me go, or...
kill me.
How come you became like this?
Is our past meaningless to you?
Looks like it's impossible for us to be together anymore. I shouldn't have placed any hope.
Princess, since I learned
that there is an irreconcilable grudge between me and the Demon Clan,
those memories between us have long lost their meaning.
Can't our love really compare with your deep grudge and hatred? Can't we just escape to faraway places?
What deep grudge and hatred? What demon clan? Let's put them all down and start all over, okay?
There's only you and I in heaven or on earth.
No one else.
Princess...
at this point, you're still not thinking that I truly love you, right?
Let me tell you now then that from the past until now,
you kept running towards my embrace, while I'm just a lowly guard.
How could I dare say no to you then?
One slap in exchange for one night with you,
it's worth it.
If we meet again, and you still dare harm Jin Mi or the Demon Clan,
you will be my enemy and I will surely not be lenient.
I have no other choice,
but you can choose.
Forget me.
If I really am able to put it down, it's indeed good to just forget.
But you clearly know that I can't do it.
Cousin.

♫ Unwilling to take part in something improper, how could I predict things would turn out against my wishes? ♫
Who did it?
Don't know from where those immortals or demons came from and they just killed the Saintess.
I initially wanted to fight back, but they suddenly just disappeared.
Investigate it.
Yes, Your Majesty!
The dead can't be revived. Your Majesty, take care of your health.

What should I do? It's already one whole day.
Jin Mi.
Did you know...
that I had this queen robe...
made on the first day you entered the mountain villa.
At certain time intervals,
I would have it altered based on your measurements that I've observed.
From then to now, I've had it altered ten times,
because...
I was afraid that it wouldn't fit your figure.
Never thought...
Never thought that it will fit you perfectly.
Aren't my observations very accurate?
It's just that I've never put on make up on you.
If I caused you to be ugly,
don't be mad at me.
Originally,
your appearance without make-up is the most beautiful in my heart.
But today...
is our big day.
Endure it for a moment.
Okay?
After our wedding...

- Your Majesty. - There's a letter on the table.
Give it to Prime Minister Fu.
Your Majesty!
[ The river is clear and the sea is calm ]
[ Royal Tomb ]
[ Tomb of Huaiwu's King ]
This wine...
was actually prepared for you.
But now, we get to have a reversal of roles.
In the end, you didn't fulfill your promise,
but I can't go back on my words.
Everything that...
I promised you, I will surely fulfill them.

I'll drink it for you, okay?
Anyway, I've been tormented by you for so long.
Giving you this lifetime, this life, won't make it worse.
Looking at you, you indeed look a lot like a crow.
Why don't I call you Crow from now on?
Crow! How come it's you?
Your Majesty, love virtue as one loves beauty.
- Your Majesty, please conduct yourself with propriety. Moreover, my face— - Coarse and ugly. Both human and ghost will hate it.
I don't care.
Wait for my return and be my queen, okay?
Thank you for letting me know for the first time
the meaning of being alive in this ant-like, measly existence of mine.
I know that you surely will lecture me
that as the king,
I was too willful to abandon all of Huaiwu just like that.
Don't worry.
I've already properly arranged everything.
Yuan Tin, the son of my cousin, is outstandingly smart and unrivaled in bravery.
With Prime Minister Fu assisting his ascension to the throne, Huaiwu's future is nothing to be worried about.
It's just that I never expected that in the end,
I will be the one getting buried with you.
I'm very content.

[ Tomb of Huaiwu's King ]
My shoulder isn't just for display.
You...how come you're able to do anything?
Then from now on, you must watch me well.
Second Highness, Immortal Jin Mi is indeed an outstanding talent of the Heavenly Realm.
Her trials in the mortal world this time completely surpassed my expected fate.
No need to explain. I don't think you'd have been able to come up with such an outstanding trial anyway.
Second Highness, you are indeed magnanimous and very intelligent. I am impressed.
Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress are already in the main palace waiting for a long time. Please go there now.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I just never thought that Qiang Huo was Rou Rou. Why did Rou Rou's primordial spirit get destroyed?
Don't worry. I surely will find out the truth behind this.
Baby Phoenix! Little Jin Mi! You two are finally back!
Moon Immortal.
Earlier, in front of my observation mirror,
I saw everything that happened while you two were in the mortal world. It was really full of suffering,
so heart-rending.
My Baby Phoenix's infatuation has truly surpassed all others of its kind before and since.
This little heart of mine also shivered with it.
Baby Phoenix, you didn't waste all my devoted teachings.
I feel so comforted.
Oh right, if I turn your story into an opera script,
it surely will be a big hit in the whole six realms.
Yuan Ji, isn't it so?
Let's go inside first. Don't let Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress wait.
Oh, right, Xu Feng. When Heavenly Emperor learned that you went down the mortal world without permission, he was unhappy.
Don't blame me for not warning you, you'd better behave later inside the main hall.
Got it.
Your Majesty, we mustn't underestimate what happened in Dongting Lake.
Su Li attempted to rebel and schemed to make her son, Night Deity, ascend to the emperor's throne.
And Water Deity hid Su Li for thousands of years. His intentions should be questioned.
Night Deity surely is involved too.
It's indeed not right that Water Deity covered up this matter,
but it's all because he pitied Su Li for being alone without anyone to rely on,
so he took her in and let her live in Dongting Lake.
Water Deity these past years has been reclusive and lived a simple life. Everyone in Heavenly Realm knows this.
How then can he be conniving with Su Li?
Moreover, my son just knew about his mother living in Dongting Lake recently.
Heavenly Empress, don't make rash conclusion.
Rat Immortal is the hard evidence of their collusion.
Enough, Su Li is now dead. I don't want to go after these old grudges.
Water Deity is one of the pillars of the Heavenly Realm. Night Deity is my biological son.
I trust them. Heavenly Empress, don't make unfounded speculations.
You'll invite others to mock at our royal family's bearing.
Enough already. Water Deity's prestige here in the Heavenly Realm is self-evident.
Don't let a minor thing destroy the general situation.
You think I never worry that they might bear rebellious intent?
Of course, I must investigate everything clearly first before making any decision.
That is because you didn't see that while I was punishing Su Li,
Run Yu totally wanted to swallow me whole and skin me alive.
Totally not considering that I've raised him for so many years. Totally disregarding our mother-and-son affection.
This is all thanks to the good things you've done, leaving so many troubles behind.
Okay already. Stop bringing up the past.
The Fire Deity has arrived!
Respectfully greeting the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress.
Greetings to Royal Father and Heavenly Mother.
You two are back.
This trip to the mortal world must have been hard on you two.
As they say, the sharpness of a precious sword comes from grinding stones,
the fragrance of a plum flower comes from the bitter cold.
Although going through trials is hard, it can help you become a great person faster.
Yes.
The daughter is back, but is Water Deity not yet here?
The Water Deity and Wind Deity have arrived!
Father!
- Mi'er. - Father.
- Auntie Lin Xiu. - Mi'er.
Greetings to the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress.
Jin Mi this time suffered in her trials in the mortal world. It's about time
that she inherits the Flower Deity position.
Your Majesty, although Jin Mi is back, her destined life tribulations got changed.
She didn't experience "aging" in the seven sufferings of humans, so her trial is considered a failure.
She still isn't qualified to return to the Heavenly Realm and inherit the Flower Deity position.
Based on our laws, Jin Mi should get reincarnated as a human again
and only be promoted to be an immortal after experiencing all seven sufferings.
The reason why Jin Mi's fated trials changed was because a deity went down the mortal world without permission,
disturbing Jin Mi's destiny.
Water Deity, what do you mean?
For fairness, we should ask His Highness the Fire Deity first.
I jumped into the Heavenly Wheel of Karma without permission
and disturbed the destiny of Jin Mi. It was my fault and has nothing to do with Immortal Jin Mi.
Hope Royal Father can follow what you previously said and promote Jin Mi to officially become an immortal.
As for my fault, may Royal Father punish me.
Xu Feng, as the Fire Deity, you failed to see the big picture.
Based on the Heavenly Laws, I will then punish you to be grounded and reflect on your mistakes.
For half a month, you're not allowed to step out of Qiwu Palace.
Yes.
As for Jin Mi...
Currently, Immortal Jin MI's failure to complete her trials is a reality.
If we forcefully promote her to a shangxian,
I fear that it's also against the laws of the Heavenly Realm.
Immortal Yuanji.
Present.
In Jin Mi's trials in the mortal world this time, although she lacked one suffering, she also went through so many tribulations.
If we promote her to a shangxian now, will the heavenly bodies still show any strange phenomenon?
If we're going to follow the Heavenly Laws, Immortal Jin Mi this time
indeed failed her trial.
Yuan Ji, disaster comes from the mouth.
But I meticulously calculated this earlier.
Although this trip by Immortal Jin Mi to the mortal world for her trials wasn't perfectly completed,
every suffering she experienced were of the highest level.
This can purify her vital spirit's cultivation. If she gets promoted to be a shangxian,
I think that it won't damage the foundation of immortality nor induce any abnormal heaven phenomenon.
That's good then.
Your Majesty, this is a major matter that concerns the immortal foundation of the six realms.
Jin Mi, I am now announcing that you're now an immortal and you are being promoted to shangxian.
Since you've been promoted to shangxian, you should inherit the position of Flower Deity.
Thank you, Your Majesty, for promoting and caring for me.
It's just that Head Fragrance Chief has managed the Flower Realm in such an orderly manner these past years.
Moreover, I'm still too playful, and lack experience.
If I become a Flower Deity, I might need to stay there to guard the Flower Realm every day.
I want to be at my father's side more.
I want to enjoy family bliss with my father.
Hope Your Majesty can allow it.
Jin Mi, you're resolute to not be this Flower Deity then?
Fine. You are still young after all. Once you've gotten married and settled your heart,
it's not yet late to inherit the Flower Deity position by then.
Talking about it, the marriage date between Run Yu and Jin Mi
should be set too.
- Your Majesty— - Royal Father —
Your Majesty, Jin Mi exhausted a lot of energy in her trials in the Mortal Realm.
Moreover, she just got promoted to being a shangxian. She should rest for a few days.
Also, in this trial of mine,
my Flower Realm friend died for saving me.
Hence, right now, I don't have the heart to talk about marriage. I just want to find the real culprit
and seek vengeance.
There's actually such a thing? Don't worry. I surely will investigate this matter.
But this matter has nothing to do with your marriage date. It's still preparing your wedding that's more important.
Okay then. After three months, we'll choose an auspicious date
to complete the marriage between Jin Mi and Run Yu.
How could this be? What about my Baby Phoenix?
Okay already. Everyone, go back now.
Your Majesty, I'll take my leave.
Water Deity!
Please stay first. I have something to tell you.
Your Majesty, what matter do you want to discuss?
Not that important. I just want to tell you
that I fully trust you.
The two of us have been friends for so many years. We are like real brothers.
Moreover, now, our children are about to get married. In the future,
we should help each other out.
Of course.
[ Zifeng Cloud Palace ]
You failed even with such good timing? What's the use of supporting you all these years?
I slacked off in my work. May Heavenly Empress punish me.
Punish? What's the use of that now?
Forget it. Go and fetch Sui He to come up here first.
Yes.
- Your Highness. - Your Highness.
Your Highness is back! [ Qi Wu Palace ]
Your Highness, you're finally back.
Your Highness, Immortal Jin Mi...oh, wrong. Before Shangxian Jin Mi went down the mortal world for her trials,
she buried some osmanthus wine beside Liuzi Pond.
Do you want me to get it for you?
No need. Just go prepare some food and tea.
Yes, Your Highness.
- Moon Immortal. - Those two kids have no respect for their elders!
Baby Phoenix, you mustn't spoil them like that.
You should at least train them to be as prudent as Lord Liaoyuan.
Greetings, Uncle. Now that you mentioned Lord Liaoyuan, I want to know why he went down the mortal world too.
- Baby Phoenix! - Your Highness!
Lord Liaoyuan.
It must be because he was worried about you, so he followed you down the mortal world.
The loyalty of Lord Liaoyuan is really impressive.
I'm currently being restricted here in Qiwu Palace. I want to ask you a favor.
Can Uncle go down the Mortal Realm and fetch Lord Liaoyuan for me?
Okay. Leave it to me.
Look at my memory. I almost forgot my purpose for coming here.
Baby Phoenix, the wedding date of Little Jin Mi has been set. What are your plans?
I will come up with a perfect plan. I won't let Jin Mi enter a marriage she's not willing to have.
Uncle, no need to worry about it.
You are indeed my Baby Phoenix.
I am at ease then. I'll go fetch Lord Liaoyuan now.
Thank you, Uncle.
