Edge to Happiness
Episode 25
How could you possibly be my daughter's boyfriend?
Glib guys like you
won't catch her fancy.
You're just a little con man.
Uncle, you don't believe me?
Okay, I will
prove it now.
Your daughter once studied
in America
and she changed her major
without your permission.
You found a job for her
but she didn't accept it
and even argued with you.
She said
she had her own dreams and aspirations
and she was leaving
whether you agreed or not.
Aren't I right?
You are right,
but do I need to agree to
my daughter's marriage?
Of course you do.
Daughters are their fathers'
lovers in their previous lives.
So they have to
repay them with love.
When your daughter is getting married,
of course she'll need your support.
Even if there is
misunderstanding between you,
she's still your family.
Has she treated me as her family?
She willfully ran away
from home for a man
and hasn't contacted me for years.
I don't even know
how she's doing now.
You're her father.
She didn't contact you
but couldn't you contact her?
You can't be too proud
to apologize to her
because you're her elder.
Besides,
you were once young.
Young people
will all be stubborn.
Everyone will lose control
because of willfulness.
These are
courses we must take in our youth.
Given your age,
if you hadn't realized these things,
you would have lived for nothing.
I didn't live for nothing.
I brought up a daughter for nothing!
How can you say that?
There is no father like you.
Letting some stupid little misunderstanding
be the reason for disregarding
your daughter's marriage.
You two share blood ties.
The bond of kinship cannot be severed.
No matter what I tell you,
your army brain wouldn't come around.
You know I was in the army?
You investigated me?
Of course.
Got to know the enemy
to defeat the enemy.
If I didn't investigate you,
how can I infiltrate enemy lines
and conquer the enemy?
You know what, uncle,
your tone is
exactly the same as your daughter's.
Hiding your sufferings deep inside.
Not spilling out your feelings.
How is it possible that she's suffered?
She is out there
enjoying a life of pleasure,
leaving me alone at home.
See?
I said you didn't care about your daughter.
You don't even know
what she's doing out there.
You are such an
incompetent father.
Today, I'm going to
explain everything to you.
She left home
to fend for herself in a large city.
She started as an entry-level worker.
After several years of hardworking,
she opened her own public relation company
and became a successful businesswoman.
Then she was scammed
and used.
Her company shut down.
Her reputation was damaged.
She can't find a job.
Now she's roaming the streets,
lacking the courage to go home.
She has turned from a strong woman high in status
into an hourly worker.
Like I said,
family is a child's
warmest haven.
What your daughter
needs most right now
is the kindness of her family.
But what have you done?
You claimed to have raised
your only daughter in vain.
Even a vicious tiger doesn't hurt its child.
Do you have absolutely
no tolerance of your daughter?
Are you cruel enough
to let your daughter
suffer out there?
She has a family and a father,
she lives like an orphan yet.
Uncle, I'm an orphan.
I can understand
the pain of growing up alone
without a family,
without a pair of parents.
Your daughter is suffering more pain
than I am.
I have no parents,
which means I have no burden.
She doesn't talk
about such things.
But she's been
thinking about you.
Don't ever
let some stupid little misunderstanding
ruin your relationship.
Disregarding each other
is not worthwhile.
Who are you to pop up
from nowhere, brat?
Why are you so good to her?
Hey, uncle,
I didn't pop up from nowhere.
I just told you that
I'm your daughter's boyfriend.
My proposal has been rejected,
but you can expect me
to marry your daughter
in the near future.
For now,
I hope to gain your support
and blessing.
Brat, the rejection
is not temporary,
but permanent.
You'd better give up.
Why?
Because she loves another man.
And for that man,
she has severed ties
with her father.
She'd do the same to you.
Is that man He Han?
Yes. It's He Han.
He drove me and my daughter
farther away from each other.
It turns out that He Han
weighs so much in her heart.
My daughter has special feelings
for piano.
Dad, there's a piano club at school.
Can I apply to join the club?
No.
Why?
It won't affect my grades.
I'll only spend a few hours
on piano each day.
Piano will definitely affect your grades.
I won't agree with that.
But I really love piano.
Don't ever mention
piano to me again.
Do you hear me?
I stopped her from learning piano.
But I didn't expect her
to meet He Han
while studying in another country.
He taught my daughter piano.
It's what
I hate most.
You learned piano for him.
You changed your major for him.
Why can't you
respect my opinion?
Do you still have
any respect for your father?
I've been loving piano since childhood.
You forbade me to learn.
When I met He Han
and knew he would teach me,
I was more than willing to learn from him.
I don't think I have done anything wrong.
And I love
my new major.
I don't like the major you chose for me.
I want to choose
my profession.
I think it's my right.
What right?
It's your excuse!
I wonder what spell
has He Han cast on you?
You listen to him on everything.
Dad, can you stop
telling me what to do with my life
as if giving military orders?
You are my daughter.
From the moment you were born,
you must live
as I have planned for you.
After she completed her overseas studies and came back,
I wanted to use my connections
to keep her at my side,
to provide her with
a stable life in Penglai.
But she discarded her job
for He Han.
And she left home.
You...
Are you trying to infuriate me?
I have risked everything
to secure a job for you.
I went around to beg people.
And you threw it away like nothing.
When you changed your major without permission,
I tolerated you.
Now I've arranged a job for you.
You reject it
and insist on going to another city.
What has gotten into you?
I'm telling you for the last time.
I don't approve it.
Dad, I have my
dreams and aspirations.
I don't need
the things you arranged for me.
No matter what,
I'm leaving.
Stop your rebellion!
What dreams and aspirations do you have?
It's none of your business.
Just respect my choice.
Respect your choice?
Have you respected my arrangements?
Let me reiterate this.
If you leave home now,
never come back.
I'm sorry, dad,
I have to go.
She has severed ties
with her own father
for He Han.
What are you to her?
There's no way
you can replace him.
Today, you've overcome difficulties
to reach out to me,
hoping to gain my approval.
But the relationship between me and my daughter
is not fixable.
My approval doesn't matter.
Young man,
here is a piece of advice for you.
Give up as soon as possible.
Uncle.
I haven't given my best shot yet.
So I won't drop the idea now.
Unlike you,
I'm not giving up before trying.
Don't you want to
resolve the conflicts
between you and your daughter?
He Mu, you and Xiaoxiao
have developed some excellent new products.
If we seize
this opportunity,
we would bring a glimmer of hope
to He's Group.
We need to work hard
to improve
our publicity and sales strategies.
Xiaoxiao formulated an excellent plan
in Perfect Public Relation Company before,
I will refine the details
of her work.
It's going to be a perfect plan.
Xiaoxiao.
Put down
whatever you are doing.
I have a job
that requires your specialty.
Specialty?
The wine are being made now.
What can I do?
I'm learning to
taste wine.
Cut the crap.
Making wine and tasting wine
are my specialty,
not yours.
Then what kind of specialty do I have?
You aren't making me
do presentations, are you?
I can't do it.
Don't worry.
You don't need to talk.
Just write.
Look.
It's done.
This type of wine
is rendered slightly golden.
It carries an exquisite and lingering scent of flowers.
The taste is soft and smooth.
The flavor contains a trace of
citric acid.
It's the perfect
table wine for ladies.
We should put our sales focus
on hotels,
fining dining restaurants,
and other high-class catering markets.
The other type of wine
is made of grapes
such as Cabernet Sauvignon,
Syrah, and Malbec.
The mixture of grapes
gives it a delicate
and pleasant flavor of vanilla.
The mellow taste
is suitable for the male market.
Xiaoxiao, you have matured
so much than before.
I remember
the first time we met,
you can't even express yourself clearly back then.
Perhaps He Mu has changed me.
He's so full of nonsense.
To fight back against his verbosity,
I have learned
to smooth-talk.
He has such a great influence on you.
The wine tastes good.
I need to make Xiaoxiao
write it into the PPT.
He Mu.
Why are you loafing here?
Time is tight.
We need to take full advantage of
every second carefully.
By the way, your brother
just helped me with the PPT.
He's added a unique touch to it.
Of course, it's unique.
Wine and wine were so close to each other.
Their breath mingled.
The taste couldn't be the same.
What are you talking about? I don't understand.
You don't understand?
Someone should have been doing PPT.
Instead, she was clinging to another person
like they were the Siamese twins.
If they had gotten closer,
they could have shared their breath.
Someone? Who is this person?
The person I'm referring to should know.
You wanted me to
do PPT with your brother.
Where is this jealousy coming from?
Besides,
I told your brother that
being with you made me happy.
Really?
Really.
I didn't expect you,
who has always been nonchalant,
to have such a petty mind.
It's natural that I have a petty mind.
Only I can have
the one I love.
I can't share my love with another person.
I think I'm smelling
something sour.
Have you drunk vinegar?
No way.
I was tasting red wine.
Vinegar would affect
my judgment of the red wine.
You must be smelling
the sourness of grapes,
not the sourness of me.
Alright. You aren't jealous.
I might as well get closer to him.
I admit I'm being jealous.
Okay?
You have told my brother that
being with me makes you happy.
Can you please
keep your distance
from my brother
-in the future? -Yes, sir.
But seriously,
your brother said
our PPT
is brilliant.
Should we start
implementing the plan?
We still need a PR expert.
Miss Xie.
Thank you.
How is your day going?
I was running an important errand.
Suddenly,
I heard a piece of piano music.
It sounded so pleasant.
I think the musician is Li...
Liszt?
That sounds right.
The music work's name is
dream... dream... dream...
-Dreams of Love. -Yes, yes, yes.
I don't know where to find this music disc.
It's so hard to find.
I have it. I've been keeping it.
If you want to listen,
I can play it for you.
Really? Alright.
I wonder what spell
has He Han cast on you?
You listen to him on everything.
You learned piano for him.
You changed your major for him.
Why can't you
respect my opinion?
I chose a major
that I didn't like
to get closer
to He Han.
Do you still have
any respect for your father?
But, in order to look for He Han,
I resolutely left home
and came to this place.
She has severed ties
with her own father
for He Han.
There's no way
you can replace him
or get married with her.
You'd better give up.
Stop.
Maybe the sound system
sucks.
Or maybe the CD is damaged.
It doesn't feel like
when I
heard it earlier.
It has lost
the sentiments of music.
If the music is being played live,
it'd feel like
when I heard it earlier.
Live music would sound purer
and better than the CD.
The fact that you have this disc
shows your love for this music work.
Yes, I love it.
Graceful girls
usually have some
knowledge of piano.
You must know how to play piano.
Not talking? So it's a yes.
Can you play
this music work for me?
Create that theatrical
atmosphere for me.
No. I haven't
played piano in years.
Please. Please.
I've never been
to any concert.
Will you fulfill my wish?
Please?
Hold a concert
for me.
No. No.
I can't do it.
It's okay.
Even if you play awfully
and make some mistakes,
I would not blame you.
At least,
I'd feel the black-and-white sprites
between the music notes.
Please play piano
for me
for the sake of
the shoes I gave you.
Take your seat.
Let's welcome the great pianist Ms. Xie Ziqi
who has returned from America
to her home country.
She'll perform Liszt's
Dreams of Love for us.
Xie Ziqi!
I'm your fan!
Go for it!
Quiet. Quiet.
Fans.
Ms. Xie Ziqi is going to
start performing now.
Come on.
Sorry. I can't keep our appointment.
If this concert
truly belongs to me only,
how happy would I be?
Maybe this will be
my last time playing this music work.
Let all the feelings
come to an end here.
Dad.
Her music world
never involved me.
Maybe I'll never
be able to replace
the guy in her heart.
How come you know
I'm here?
Of course, I know.
You gave me
artificial respiration here.
I curse you
for spending your life alone
eternal loneliness
without men.
My first kiss.
I also took
your first kiss here.
I feel like first love to you.
Now my most important work
-is... -What?
You.
-Me? -That's right.
As the saying goes,
get married before starting a career.
Now you're the most important
to me.
You said people who went above the clouds
will fall down.
But you'll be there to catch me.
Don't have a far-reaching dream.
Don't go too far
or stand too high.
Look at the clouds in the sky.
So high.
If people are standing on the clouds,
they will be too far from life.
If they are blown by winds,
they will fall down to the ground.
On Valentine's Day,
you prepared a magic surprise
for me.
For the next,
I will perform
the long-lost David Copperfield's magic.
One. Two. Three.
I hope
you can spend the Valentine's Day,
with me next year.
You told me
to take off my high heels
and put on the sneakers you gave me.
You made me run on the flattest ground
during my hardest time.
Go!
Life is
actually long.
It's like the road in front of us.
You never know
what will happen ahead.
The only thing you can do
is to run against the wind.
and let it blow off
the distressing past.
You'll meet barriers.
You'll fall over.
But don't be afraid.
You should get up and keep running.
You'll hurdle all of
the barriers.
Even if you can't run anymore,
you should never stop.
Because that's the time when
your will is being tested.
Life is like running.
Now matter how tiring it is,
you should never give up.
The winner will be the person
who can hold on till the end.
You helped me
regain confidence.
I thought
women like me
would never be loved by men.
But you proposed to me.
I have been to
so many places,
taken so many photos,
and said so much nonsense.
It happens that I meet the most beautiful you
at the best age.
So I want to
tell you sincerely that
my greatest mission
on earth...
Please marry me.
Although I can't afford a big house or a car
or a diamond ring,
I have a heart
that loves you most in the world.
Although it is the lamest thing
in the world
to propose with this ring,
If you don't mind,
please marry me.
Ma Da,
is it not too late
for me to accept
your proposal now?
Why do you accept
my proposal now?
Because my father...
It seems talent is something
one can never kill.
Even though I tried so hard
to stop you from learning piano,
you have learned it anyway.
I heard your piano music
just then,
which brought me back to
when your mother was alive.
Your mother
was very talented.
You probably have
no memory of it.
But everything about your mother
is unforgettable
to me.
I never mentioned
your mother to you.
Because I didn't want to
bring up the sad memories.
Not until I heard
your piano music just then,
did I know I was wrong.
There's something
I should have told you earlier.
When your mother was young,
she won lots of awards.
According to her life plan,
she was supposed to be
a very successful pianist.
Unfortunately,
her fingers got injured later.
She had to become a music teacher
at an elementary school in her hometown.
She had been unhappy when she was alive.
She said her life
only revolved around piano.
After she was forced to give up piano,
she realized that
she can't do anything else.
Not until she was impregnated with you,
did she start to smile again.
Your wife is too weak.
Her pelvis is too small.
If you two insist on
giving birth to the baby,
your wife's life might be
in danger.
Your mother insisted on giving birth to you.
But we never expect...
Doctor, how is it?
Are my wife and child safe?
Your child was born safely.
But your wife...
I'm sorry.
We have done our best.
Your birthday
was the day of your mother's death.
Your mother's death
hit me too hard.
I didn't have the courage to face
anything your mother left behind.
So I packed up
everything she had.
And I dared not talk to you
about your mother.
But I really love piano.
Don't ever mention
piano to me again.
Do you hear me?
Since I was a child,
my father had treated me harshly.
I never experienced
fatherly love
like other girls did.
I never celebrated
my birthday.
If I didn't see the date on your student ID card,
I wouldn't know today is your birthday.
Happy birthday, Ziqi.
Go back and enjoy a hearty meal prepared by your father.
I've never celebrated my birthday.
Why?
Shurong.
If you didn't insist on
giving birth to this child,
you wouldn't
perish at such a young age.
Shurong,
was it really worth?
Was it worth?
I always thought
my father hated me
because of my mother's death.
The words he said
took root in my heart.
With your help,
I started to understand
everything my father did.
I stopped you from learning piano
because your mother
told me on her deathbed that
she didn't want you to
go on the same path as her.
She didn't want you
to suffer the same pain as her.
Forgive me
for not celebrating your birthday.
The day always reminded me of your mother.
It's not that I hated
to let you go.
You are the only hope
left behind by your mother.
I can't let you be wronged or hurt.
That's why I did everything
to keep you at my side
and live as
I had planned for you.
I was doing everything I can
to make up for a mother's love
that you never had.
I didn't know
I'd hurt you by doing that.
Then your friend
who claimed to be your orphan boyfriend
came to me and said
you were just like me
and you won't talk about the hurt you'd been through.
He told me
what blood kinship meant.
At that moment, I finally realized
kinship was a tie
that can never be severed.
I finally realized that a father and his daughter
should open their hearts to each other.
Ziqi.
I was wrong.
No matter what,
you will always be
my good daughter.
Dad.
Yes, I do.
If the man you love
doesn't love you,
why not choose
a man who loves you
and be with him forever?
Brother, if Xie Ziqi
can help with the plan,
our new production promotion
would sail smoothly.
I've hurt her so deeply.
I don't even have
the courage to see her.
How can I ask for her help?
She helped you without reservation,
putting her Perfect Public Relation Company at risk.
Can't you see
how much she loves you?
I know.
When we were students,
I really loved her.
She was quite simple then.
We played piano together.
We participated in piano contests together.
That was
the happiest and most carefree time
of my life.
Though we loved
each other back then,
we didn't have time
to confess our love.
My mother's car accident
drove me out of school.
I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye.
Years later,
I met her again at He's Group.
But revenge
weakened my feelings for her.
All I was thinking was
how to take revenge.
Brother, she really loves you
and she's sacrificed so much
for you willingly.
Over the years,
she's been living with your habits.
You're listening to
Liszt's Dreams of Love.
Your favorite basketball star
was Shaquille O'Neal.
You have a cup of
low-fat latte without milk foam in the morning.
You work scrupulously.
You are imitating someone, right?
You adore him a lot.
Over the years,
you have been imitating him.
She likes the music
you like.
She likes the basketball star you like.
She's basically
living for you.
I worked hard for ten years
to live like him.
I keep trying to make myself
better, more excellent
and closer to perfection.
I just want to
match him.
But he told me today that
he likes ordinary and simple girls
He doesn't like me.
He doesn't like able women like me.
What did I do wrong?
Calm down.
I can't calm down.
You know what?
How much courage do I need
to stand in front of him and confess my love?
But he turned me down.
Do you know
it's really hard
to change yourself for another person?
And she persisted.
Brother, if you still
care about her,
you should bolster your courage
to face her.
She once confessed her love for me.
I rejected her cruelly.
I remember her disheartened face.
Buddy,
thanks to you,
my proposal finally got accepted.
That's wonderful.
I knew it.
It's rewarding to persuade your father-in-law.
We are going
to get married
and have children together.
We said that
if we ever have children,
we could be relatives by marriage.
But now
I have to reconsider it.
Why?
Because you are too ugly.
It'd be awful to
have my descendants
look like you.
Longer delays may cause trouble.
I must strike while the iron is hot.
I'll get married
with Xie Ziqi
as fast as lightning.
So I'm going
to organize the wedding now.
So soon?
You're rushing into marriage.
Of course.
Xie Ziqi is too good.
I can't let her run away.
That makes sense.
Sure, it does.
However, I need your help right now.
-What can I do for you? -Money.
You need money?
Of course, I need money for a wedding.
Lend me some money.
I'll pay you back when you get married.
But I gave all my money
to Su Man for her startup
and the ring.
Stop lying.
You must have extra money.
Hand it out.
Or we won't be friends anymore.
I really don't have any money.
What kind of wedding pictures
do you think we should take?
I've pondered over it.
And I think
no wedding pictures
can do justice to your beauty.
So I've decided
to take the wedding pictures
myself.
Only I can
capture your unique charm.
Okay. I'll let you do it.
Just leave it to me.
I used to be a photographer.
I'll make our wedding pictures
so beautiful.
By then,
you will look like
the prettiest bride in the world.
By the way,
what's your opinion on
our marital home?
How about we
renovate this house into our marital home?
It'll be economical and romantic.
It'll carry special meanings.
I've thought it over.
I'm going to paint
all the furniture and walls
into the colors you like.
By then,
I will buy
a comfortable large bed.
Because
you work so hard.
You need a good sleep
to get up refreshingly the next morning.
Also, I'll buy a swing.
So you can play on the swing
when you are alone at home.
I've scheduled the wedding.
It'll be held on your birthday.
Please don't say goodbye with a hug.
In the season when we ran barefoot, our relationship was over.
I once believed you and I would walk towards the miracle,
but tears have changed the taste.
We got acquainted, fell in love, but broke up after a kiss.
The rain that stops in my heart is as icy as bullet.
I'm trying to get those blue days back,
but the ticket stub shows a different direction.
We don't need anyone to comfort us.
Can anyone stop the time?
Who can rekindle love when it freezes?
You don't have to hide the scars between your brows.
After being in deep love, we decide to let go.
We don't need anyone to comfort us.
People who had been in love know how to be strong.
Who can get back the arrow that has been shot?
You can't hide it, but to hold it back after turning around.
After letting go, the world turns white.
We don't need anyone to comfort us.
Can anyone stop the time?
Who can rekindle love when it freezes?

Why did you let go?
