Quickly clean these up.
- Yes. - Yes.
City Master.
You must endure it.
Don't get too violent.
The more violent you are, the worse is the counterchange.
- Why are you here? - I'm here to accompany you.
City Master, are you all right?
Go away.
I don't need you to accompany me.
That makes us seem like we're in a bitter romance.
Such suffering...
I've been through it.
Back then, my aunt arranged a posthumous marriage for me.
She buried me alive in the coffin.
I've managed to endure it too.
Who am I?
I'm Cha Luo.
I'm the City Master of Gui Hua City.
It's all in the past.
You have me now.
I'll always be by your side.
It's not in the past.
Every single thing that the god owes me...
I remember all of them.
I'm one who takes an eye for an eye.
Even if I have to face King of Hell in the future,
I'll never regret it.
But...
you are not happy.
Happy?
What is that?
Does our time in here in the early years count?
Xing Feng.
Wake up.
It's not only me.
Your hands are full of blood too.
We can never go back.
Where are you going?
Me?
I'm going to see Miss Wan Mei,
the one who thinks she can defeat me,
because of the counterchange trumps out by King of Gu.
I don't need your companion.
Miss Wan Mei.
It's not even the evening time yet.
You've prepared yourself.
Are you going to sit there and wait until dawn?
It seems like...
this is the first time you're here.
Not really.
If I tell you...
I used to live in this place for three years.
Even the tree in your yard...
is watered by me and I watched it grow.
Will you be surprised?
No.
But, it seems like...
you don't miss those days.
I was resented by my superior...
and I lived in fear every single day.
Xing Feng and I were in love.
But, things didn't end well for us.
What's there to miss?
It's very similar to you, isn't it?
You might even ask me this.
Why can't I spare you?
In my heart...
misery loves company.
If you can still survive tomorrow...
perhaps you would one day take over my place.
After ten years...
ask yourself again.
Do you still have this good-for-nothing compassion in you?
Do you know...
what kind of punishment is Chang An enduring now?
Xing Feng prepared a delicate hammer.
He's slowly...
break his bones from his toes.
He breaks it and move upward inch by inch.
Right now...
it should have reached his ankle.
Wan Mei.
Yes. You're smart.
After a few years...
you might be able to defeat me.
But, right now...
you don't stand a chance.
Not until the very last moment...
the outcome is still unknown.
Wan Mei.
I know.
You're disdainful of becoming me.
But, you need to know.
If you don't become like me...
you won't be able to survive it.
Since today is your final moment...
I'll show you great mercy.
I'll let you visit and have a good look at your shadow, Chang An.
See him for one last time.
Grieve over your great love.
I don't do things half way.
Miss Wan Mei, please hold on.
It's done.
After an hour...
I'll break the other two bones.
Make a long story short.
Chang An.
I'll rescue you now.
If I failed...
we'll die together.
My Po Hun Sword is by the wall.
From now on...
listen to every single thing that I say.
"Bi An Palace"
Why would you have such a strong inner force?
Chang An passed it on to you?
That's right.
Your shadow doesn't want to continue following after you.
So, he gave us this opportunity.
Wan Mei.
Stay alive. Don't take the poison.
Don't go down with her..
Use your Spirit Away Sword...
to kill Cha Luo.
It doesn't matter if I can survive.
You need to look after yourself.
Watch your moves.
Watch out for the prince.
But, you...
You can never be like Cha Luo.
Because...
you're Wan Mei.
You are...
the woman that I would risk my life to protect.
In the end...
you're the one who's defeated.
What then?
Do you think...
after you shadow passed on his inner force to you...
and suffered the severe punishment...
he would still be able to live?
I didn't lose to you.
I lost to Xing Feng.
Remember to tell him this.
I will never repent.
Even to my death, I'll continue to curse...
all the lovers in this world.
All of them will be like us.
All will stand condemned by God!
Wan Mei.
Chang An.
Where's Chang An?
I'm asking you. Where's Chang An?
You live and he dies.
Everything reincarnates again.
Quickly tell me Chang An's whereabouts!
He...
is dead.
You're lying.
When he passed on his inner force to you...
you should know it well enough.
He'll die for sure.
Let me ask you.
Where are his bones?
Before Chang An dies...
he asked me to pass the message to you, the new City Master.
- He said... - I'm asking you where are his bones?
All right.
I'll tell you.
But, I have a condition.
What is it?
Promise me.
Let me die with her.
Bury us in the same tomb after I die.
Tell me his whereabouts. I'll consider it.
All right.
Take a good look.
Every part on this wall...
is filled with Chang An's flesh and blood.
As for his bones...
I ground them into powder...
- and fed it to the dogs. - You...
Impossible.
Impossible!
Go and collect his corpse for him.
New City Master.
For the sake of the shadow who was cut into pieces,
but has never let you down.
Wan Mei.
Don't...
Don't let him die.
Stay alive. Don't take the poison.
Don't go down with her..
Chang An.
The prince has said.
Your body hasn't adapted to the King of Gu.
You need to rest.
Where's Xing Feng? I want to see him.
There's a fan in the cabinet on the left side of the torture chamber.
It's my congratulatory gift to the new City Master.
The fan is made of the skin of Chang An’s heart.
There's a five-character quatrain on it.
It's written using Chang An's blood.
Xie Huan.
His name was Xie Huan.
His full name was Xie Huan.
It's a good name.
You love Cha Luo too.
Why?
Why can't you put yourself in my shoes?
Give us a way out.
You killed the person I love most.
I've killed the person you love most too.
We're even now.
Do you still want to...
be buried with your Cha Luo?
Her name wasn't Cha Luo.
Her name was Bie Chun Fang.
When she came to Gui Hua City...
she was your age.
On that day...
it was a clear blue sky.
The trees were filled with apricot blossoms.
She was as beautiful as picture.
She was dazzling.
What then?
You are still disappointed in her.
No.
I'm not disappointed in her.
I just feel that...
her sins...
should stop here.
Since you feel that she had sinned gravely...
what makes you think I would agree...
agree to bury both of you together?
I refuse to.
I insist to let you live.
I want you to live a living hell.
I want both of you...
be it in this world or the afterlife...
never to meet again.
Well, I want to congratulate you...
for becoming another Cha Luo.
I think...
Chang An should be glad.
He didn't become the next Xing Feng.
That's right.
I am Wan Mei.
I am not Cha Luo.
I can't be like her.
It's because...
It's because Chang An...
Chang An didn't want me to be like that.
The prince has took away my martial skills...
because he was afraid I would kill myself.
If you're willing to leave the sword...
I can do it on my own.
A person like Cha Luo...
has someone like you.
This doesn't make sense.
I'm willing to die and accompany her.
It's just like how Chang An was willing to die for you.
It's merely our willingness.
It needs no reason.
It's merely the willingness.
It needs no reason.
Thank you for sentencing me to death.
You've been to the torture chamber?
You've made a triumphant return for sometime.
But, you deliberately delayed coming here.
This is the ending that you want to see.
Am I right?
Cha Luo and I fought with our lives.
To you...
it's but a chess game.
No matter who wins, you want Chang An dead. Am I right?
The so-called love...
would only affect your future.
Chang An's existence was to help you succeed.
His death...
- is the best ending for both of you. - Nonsense!
Losing Chang An...
doesn't mean you've lost everything.
You still have me.
Follow me.
Only then you can have the whole wide world.
Seduction...
ought to know no boundaries.
Seduction...
knows no boundaries?
Tell me.
What should I do
to calm your resentment...
so that you can look up and move forward?
I don't want anything else.
I just want Chang An to come back.
I want him to be back by my side.
Chang An.
Chang An!
Six months later...
Prince Jin, Li Cun Xu, has his long-cherished wish realized...
in overthrowing Liang state.
He changed the era name to Tong Guang.
He proclaimed himself as the emperor in Weizhou,
and it's referred to as Later Tang.
Sorry for interrupting.
I've an important matter to report to Prince Ning. Please allow me to.
Yue Ying is here. Come.
Get up. Quickly get up.
Imperial Brother.
Ever since Yue Ying followed you and fought from all four quarters...
she's now full of heroic spirit. Look.
She has become bolder too.
Your Majesty, she has stayed in the camp for a long time.
She's not familiar with the rules in the palace.
Please forgive her.
I...
have become the emperor.
But, I'm having more enemies now.
I really need a woman like Yue Ying by my side.
Imperial Brother.
Can you make an exception?
Let Yue Ying and I discuss in private.
Let's see if Yue Ying is willing to enter the palace.
- Your Majesty, I... - I'm lucky to gain your recognition.
I am...
willing to.
Are you laughing at me too?
It's such a cold late autumn.
Yet, I'm still holding a fan.
Have I gone insane?
You don't understand.
This is all I have now.
Chang An is dead now.
All my joy...
has gone along with him.
Do you know?
These two days, the prince...
has been finding people to boost the support...
and say that I'm the real descendant of Princess of Peace...
the real owner of the imperial order without words.
I'm full of madness now too.
All the things that are weighing on my mind...
I could only share them with an animal like you.
What's the use...
of everything that he's doing?
Tell me.
If Chang An is still alive...
what would he be doing?
He has an even temper.
If it's based on his desire...
perhaps, he would only want a yard.
Inside it...
he'll plant a tree.
An apricot tree.
"A pretty girl who was abandoned plays zither in the cold of autumn."
"It's a huge world but she doesn't belong anywhere."
"In the end, she could only settle down at Bi An Palace."
"Liangzhou An Ding"
