Sis, what are you doing?
My spirit core is in Husband's body.
My blood is the most compatible with his and can repair his vitality.
How is this a good idea?
You've already weakened so much because of him.
Moreover, this heart's blood is so precious, yet you're using it as a tonic for him?
Elder Sister, he's already forgotten you!
Why are you still treating this unfaithful husband so well? !
Xiao Qing, help me send this bowl of medicine to Husband.
Elder Sister, how can you be so blindly stubborn.
You take it to him yourself.
I'm not like that Jin Ruyi, trying to take credit for someone else's efforts.
Xiao Qing,
how can I not want to send it myself.
But whenever Husband sees me now, he'd use all of his strength to remember who I am.
Following that is a headache that's difficult to endure. Makes my heart ache.
Xiao Qing, just help me with this,
help me send this to him, is that alright?
Xiao Qing.
I'll only help you this one time.
Sis, promise me.
from now on, don't feed him your blood anymore.
Okay?
After the Dragon Boat Festival is the Mid-Autumn Festival...(major holidays mark a section of time for Chinese people)
Take a guess!
One section to another section, its nature tall like a cypress
The riddle's answer is 'bamboo'.
For what reason do geese shed their feathers during Mid-Autumn Festival?
Guess a poem.
Dark skies in august, yet snow flies.
It's...'White Snow Song Accompanying Martial Magistrate Wu Back to the Capital'?
No more, no more, you've been through a major illness and still so smart.
Brother Hanwen, in this world, there's no riddle you can't answer.
Hanwen elder brother, what's wrong? Do you feel pain?
It's alright.
I suddenly thought of something that happened before.
Back then, I seemed to have also guessed such riddles,
and seemed to be of the same mind as that person.
Then let's not guess riddles anymore. Don't continue to think random thoughts anymore.
Hurry and drink medicine.
This medicine is turning cold soon.
Ruyi,
that miss... Is she a new hired (by you)?
What new hired?
Sister sent me to give you some medicine.
Didn't I say that Sister is doing something useless?
Look at how you guys are conversing and laughing. Your health must be just fine, no need to drink anymore medicine.
Miss Xiao Qing, don't be angry.
In a few days, it'll be the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Brother Hanwen and I discussing a few riddles
which can be used on some lanterns at that time.
Your sister wouldn't get mad at me for that, right?
- You... - Miss.
Is your sister Miss Suzhen?
Her personality is cold and she doesn't like to talk to other people.
Now that you've already recovered your life, you dislike her for being cold.
This Sister Ruyi is so friendly and spirited, she's more to your taste, right?
Hanwen elder brother.
The physician already said that you need to rest quietly, don't move around, alright?
Brother Hanwen, what in the world do you want to do?
-Elder Sister, what're you doing here? -I really shouldn't be here.
Hurry...drink your medicine.
I really want to ask her more about matters between me and Miss Suzhen.
Even though I can answer all the riddles in the world,
I still can't guess the riddles concealed in her heart.
Are you also preparing lanterns for the Mid-Autumn Festival?
You're...
Husband.
- Hanwen. - What's wrong?
-Hanwen -Hanwen! -Hanwen, how are you feeling?
-Hanwen -Hanwen, aiya, Suzhen
He was just fine. Don't mess with him, okay?
Hanwen, are you alright, Hanwen?
-Are you alright, Hanwen -You just got better, why aren't you resting at home?
Ruyi, quickly assist him back.
I won't go.
Who are you?
Hanwen, listen to Brother-in-Law. She's your wife, it's alright, don't be afraid, alright?
- Hanwen. - Hanwen.
- Hanwen elder brother.
Hanwen hurry and return to the house with Brother-in-Law, hurry!
-Slowly -Slowly
Sis, are you alright?
That soul dispersal agent is truly formidable.
What dispersal?
Nothing.
It's better that I should avoid him.
Otherwise, how can he endure this kind of suffering over and over again.
You're still avoiding him?
If you continue to avoid him, he'll only recognize Jin Ruyi anymore.
I can see that he and that Jin Ruyi are quite happy together.
Now that others have taken over, they're attaching every problem that occur to you.
What right do they have?
Gongfu.
Wife, listen to me...
when Hanwen didn't awaken, you didn't sleep.
Hasn't Hanwen already awaken, go to sleep.
-Tired for so many days... -Get up, get up, get up,
let me tell you something.
-Speak -Tell me, Hanwen has been conscious for so many days,
why can't he recognize Suzhen?
If he can't recognize her, then he can't recognize her.
Even if he can't recognize her, the two are still husband and wife.
Wait for a few more days, when Hanwen's health is a bit better,
have the two of them stay in the same house, same room, sleep together,
then he'll remember anything.
How's that the way to handle it!
I'm telling you. Right now, even hearing Suzhen's name makes Hanwen's head hurt.
Tell me, what are the three of them going to do?
Three people?
Who else is there?
Ruyi.
When Hanwen was ill, Ruyi busily managed everything.
Now that Hanwen has regained consciousness, what is Ruyi to do?
Wife, let's not worry ourselves, alright?
Our Hanwen is currently already a married man.
Moreover, this time, Hanwen was able to be saved all due to Sister-in-Law's efforts.
You absolutely must remember,
no matter whether Hanwen's mind will recover or not
he has nothing to do with Ruyi at all.
How can he have nothing to do with Ruyi?
I'm telling you, when Hanwen was ill, Ruyi's sadness, despair, and discomfort, I saw it all with my eyes.
Just looking made my heart ache.
This... I...
Sister-in-Law, don't be anxious, alright?
- How is Hanwen? - How is it?
He already went to sleep.
Suzhen sis, Hanwen elder brother doesn't remember you.
I know you are worry, but you shouldn't push him.
He has just recovered.
If you stimulate him, the condition would become worse.
-I'll go take a look at Husband. -Suzhen
I know that some words shouldn't be said.
But right now, each time that Hanwen sees you,
his headache would break out and his illness becomes more severe.
Why don't you avoid him for the time being?
Alright.
Don't worry, I'll definitely help you take good care of Brother Hanwen.
Enjoy your meal.
Sister-in-Law, Sister-in-Law!
No, Sister-in-Law, eat a few bites, Sister-in-Law
No...wife...why did you do that?
Hasn't Sister-in-Law also done everything for Hanwen's sake?
I know that she did everything for Hanwen's good.
But right now, every time Hanwen sees her, his head hurts, what would you have me do?
That's not it...then the two of them...
That's right. Brother Hanwen didn't come back from the dead easily.
In sum, we can't waste all of our previous efforts.
I can understand Sister Suzhen's feelings,
but if I were the one involved instead,
I'd peacefully allow Brother Hanwen to temporarily forget me.
I absolutely wouldn't purposefully agitate him, to have him suffer this kind of pain.
Ruyi, in the past, I thought that you were obstinate and willful.
I didn't think that you've matured so much now.
Elder Sister, I was truly not good before,
I went astray. Fortunately, you've cared for me.
Don't worry, I definitely won't disappoint you and Brother Hanwen.
Ruyi, Ruyi, in the end,
you're still a single girl.
how can a single girl run to Hanwen's home everyday every night.
Moreover, aren't there still Jiaorong and I at home?
Listen, if talk of this matter were to spread, it wouldn't be good for your reputation.
What now, what are they saying outside?
Those gossips outside simply doesn't need to stay in our hearts.
But we also should guard against the unexpected, right?
Ruyi, how about you first move back to your Jin home.
I won't go back. No matter what they say outside, I still won't return home.
I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Hanwen and I are not fated in this life. It's because I'm not blessed enough.
I'm willing to always stay by his side to take care of him.
I don't need the title. It's fine if we don't marry.
I beg for Elder Sister's consent.
Hurry and get up. Why must you do this?
But if the one Hanwen married was you, then I wouldn't be in this difficult situation.
Get up now. Get up.
What do you think should be done about Hanwen and Suzhen?
Always avoiding the other also doesn't solve anything.
Who says.
Sister, why must you listen to the words of those irrelevant people?
You're the one who's his wife. This is your home.
Why can't you go in?
I don't care what other people say,
but I can't ignore Husband's well being.
RIght now, when he sees me, the pain is so bad he'd rather not live.
How can I bear to see him suffer?
But do you really want to carry all of the sufferings on your own shoulders?
That Jin Ruyi is as venomous as scorpions.
Using hundreds of ways to make things difficult and scheme against you two. Will you really be fine
with somebody else taking care of your husband like this?
Even though Jin Ruyi is scheming in every way, her feelings towards Husband are true.
As long as I leave, she shouldn't do anything to Husband.
Elder Sister, you think on behalf of Brother-in-Law in everything.
Yes, you endure, you retreat,
but have you thought about what your husband wants.
If the two of you were to change positions today,
would you be willing for him to leave you for your sake?
Wife, hurry and run, run quickly!
There's a snake, a snake...
There's a snake!
Brother Hanwen, you woke up?
Why are you so pale?
There was a snake, a very big snake.
It's that snake that harmed you.
I've heard about what one should eat if one were in shock,
so I especially stewed some snake bone soup for you.
Hurry and drink some to calm down.
Hurry!
Brother Hanwen, Brother Hanwen
Brother Hanwen!
Elder Sister,
Xiao Qing
paper and ink.
Elder Sister, you...
If he didn't marry me, he wouldn't have encountered so many difficulties.
Jing Song was right.
Humans and demons originally shouldn't be together.
I only have myself to blame for having fallen into this state.
It's just...why did I involve Husband and Jing Song.
Elder Sister, don't be like this.
Husband and wife have deep ties, like two flowers on one stalk.
as close as lips and teeth, should be two bodies with one heart,
sharing the same bed and pillow, sharing the same coffin.
♫ If we would be blessed with good fortune in a millennium ♫
♫ Growing old together with one heart would be in sight ♫
♫ If we would be blessed with good fortune in a millennium ♫
Even though the love is deep, what can be done if the fate is shallow?
Why not separate into two parts
Elder Sister
each finding its own happiness
Husband, rather than have you remember everything,
and know that I'm a snake spirit and be fearful and disgusted with me,
how about you forget about me,
have all of the joyous moments...the sufferings, cleanly forgotten.
♫
Please forgive my selfishness.
And now, only this hairpin is left.
♫ The spring showers taste like wine and the willows look like mist! ♫
How is he, physician?
My skills are shallow,
it's the first time that I encountered this kind of symptom.
The fact is that I'm at my wit's end.
Even if Master Xu recovers, I'm afraid that there'll be residual effects.
From now on, he'll have trouble walking.
Elder Sister, Elder Sister.
Then, physician, is there any other way?
Please go on, sir.
Suzhen?
Elder Sister, I have something to say to you.
Go back. I can't attend to you right now.
I won't take much of your time.
Ruyi, you send the physician off.
Please.
What is it?
Separation letter?
Our fate together has been exhausted, if I we continue to force it,
it'll only cause everyone to be unhappy. I hope that Elder Sister will give your consent.
Suzhen, how can marriage be a trifling matter?
Recently, Hanwen has been ill,
Elder Sister has slighted you. You absolutely mustn't be swayed by personal feelings.
Elder Sister, you've misunderstood. I haven't been swayed by that.
This is but my own decision.
When you stood outside, did you hear the words that the physician spoke?
The physician's words?
I understand now, Sister-in-Law.
No, Miss Bai.
You were born into a well to do family, and is even such a beauty,
we truly shouldn't have delayed you, have you continue to stay with the Xu family.
Since you've decided to leave,
I won't try to persuade you otherwise.
This separation letter,
I'll accept it on Hanwen's behalf.
Thank you, Elder Sister, for consenting.
What? Separation?!
You've agreed to it?
The skies want to rain,
young ladies want to get married, Bai Suzhen wants a divorce.
What can I do?
Wife, you're being silly,
Think about it.
Our Hanwen, how he feels about Suzhen is something we both know.
This Hanwen is merely temporarily unable to remember.
Tell me, when he gets better one day,
and discovers that his wife is no longer here. How will he be able to bear it?
Right now, it's not our Hanwen who doesn't want Suzhen,
It's Bai Suzhen who wants to leave.
The physician just said,
even if our Hanwen can recover,
he will also be disabled.
When Suzhen talked about separation,
my heart broke.
Enough, stop crying.
Let me tell you, there must be a misunderstanding.
Think about it, we have known her for a long time.
She is not that kind of person.
Misunderstanding? Do I still hope it's a misunderstanding.
I specially asked her. She said that she has made up her mind to separate.
She really is a young lady of an official family. She will only share in wealth, but not in the midst of misfortune.
What reason would I still have to force her to stay?
Enough, don't be angry.
If you are angry, I will be in turmoil.
No matter what, you still have me to take care of you both.
I will still take care of you both in the future. Okay?
Enough, don't be angry.
Husband.
Do you still remember when the candles in the marital room was lighted? You told me that,
we will always be a married couple and won't separate.
I didn't imagine that,
our life together would be so short.
Suzhen, I don't know whether I would still have this blessing in life
to be able to call you my wife and take care of you for life.
It's not forever.
Rather it's life after life. Who's scared that life is short and hard.
We must also meet in the afterlife.
If there is an afterlife
Be done with it.
If there is an afterlife, I'll just look after you from a distance. Protecting you.
I won't tangle with you again.
I can't let you feel this life's pain and suffering again.
Sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law, don't be in a hurry to leave.
Listen to me, okay?
Think carefully. It will be too late to regret in the future. Okay?
Brother-in-law, you don't have to beg me anymore. Short term pain is better than long term pain.
Girl, listen to me.
Can't you wait till he's conscious before you leave?
He's now a stranger to me.
Why should I reach more than once?
Miss Bai.
Older Sister Xu.
Miss Bai, since you have made up your mind,
I have nothing else to say.
Except that when you are out there, take good care of yourself.
Take this money.
I can't accept this.
Fortunately.
Fortunately, you used to be our sister-in-law.
Take this money so that I can be re-assured as your older sister.
Let's leave.
Miss Ruyi is here.
Older Sister.
What are you doing? Get up now.
I have a request. Please fulfill it.
- Get up and talk. - If you don't agree, I won't get up.
Whatever request you have, get up and talk first.
Older Sister Suzhen has now abandoned Older Brother Hanwen.
No one is taking care of him now. I heard that one who's gravely ill,
must ward-off the illness by getting married. Perhaps he will recover.
I'm willing to do it for Brother Hanwen's sake. I beg you to consent.
This can't be done.
It's too much hardship for you.
I don't think so. Even if he's sick and lie in bed forever,
I'm willing to take care of him for life.
I'm begging, Older Sister. Please agree.
Older Sister, just agree.
Alright.
I agree.
- Get up now. - Thank you, Older Sister.
Thank you, Older Sister.
I'm going to take good care of Older Brother Hanwen now.
She has finally agreed to leave.
Older Brother Hanwen, you must not blame me.
If she's willing to leave earlier,
then you wouldn't have had to endure so much pain.
Hanwen is not conscious and you are making the decision on his behalf?
Look at how sick Hanwen is.
Ruyi is not complaining at all.
I could see this in my heart.
I'm very touched.
Ruyi has been taking care of Hanwen day and night.
She has already lost her reputation. We can't disappoint her any further.
Yes, I know this but you said...
Older Brother Hanwen has regained consciousness!
Older Brother Hanwen has regained consciousness.
Hanwen has regained consciousness. Let's go now.
[ Bai Manor ]
Older Sister, you haven't eaten the whole day. Why don't we eat something?
I'm not hungry.
Don't be like this. Perhaps, we can think of a spell for your husband to recall his memories?
Recall what?
Recall the time that I drank realgar wine and turned into a snake?
You saw it too, how he hated snakes.
He could even see snakes in his nightmares.
- Older Sister. - When I think of his expression that day,
I hurt inside.
I would rather he never remember who I was in this lifetime.
I also don't want him to remember later and be disgusted by me.
At least, I still have those memories.
Older Brother Hanwen, come.
- I will do it on my own. - I will help you.
Thank Heaven and Earth. You are finally awake.
Ruyi has pampered you.
I have been always been here taking care of you.
In a bit, you will open the medical clinic.
You take care of matters outside, I'll take care of matters inside. Our lives will definitely be good.
Enough, stop talking. Hanwen, come.
Hanwen, come give me a bite to eat. I haven't eaten porridge in many days.
I cooked some porridge and small dishes for you.
Eat now.
Look, these dishes are all your favorite.
So these two dishes are: Over the misty paddy fields the egrets freely fly.
In the shady woods the orioles warble.
Hanwen.
- Hanwen! - Older Brother Hanwen!
- What's wrong with you? - What's going on?
It's nothing. I merely remember something.
Hanwen, I have something to say to you.
If Jin Ruyi had not used the rosary to frame Older Sister,
it wouldn't have shocked Physician Xu.
Now she's even acting devoted and taking the credit.
She's very evil. I won't let her succeed.
Sis, how could I marry Ruyi?
Why can't you marry Ruyi?
The Jin family was kind to us.
Ruyi has deep feelings for you. Why can't the both of you be together?
I...I only have brotherly love for Ruyi.
Moreover, I'm already married. She...
She made up her mind.
The both of you are already separated.
Ruyi doesn't complain about you being sick or disabled.
She would be willing to take care of you for a lifetime. She doesn't even mind the festival anymore.
She's such a good girl. Where will you be able to find one?
I've already promised her. The Xu family cannot renege on its promises.
- Older Sister... - Hanwen.
This is settled. Listen to me.
But Older Sister, I...
Help me!
Is Bai Suzhen really my wife?
Jin Ruyi, I'm going to kill you!
- Give me your life! - Help me!
Xiao Qing, stop.
- Older Sister. - What are you doing?
Older Brother Hanwen, help me.
Older Sister Xiao Qing is bullying me.
Miss Xiao Qing, why are you holding this sword?
You are even protecting her?
He's my future husband. Why can't he protect me?
Future husband?
Xu Xian, you are even going to marry her?
Miss Xiao Jing, I didn't meant this.
Older Brother Hanwen, in order to protect me, you hid this from her.
Even if she kills me today, I'm not afraid.
Look at this carefully. Your older sister and Older Brother Hanwen have separated.
He will marry me. I'm his wife.
- She... - Shut up!
Great, Xu Xian. Did you know,
my older sister, because of you, she didn't even cared about her life.
You are going to take a new wife now?
I will kill you today, you ungrateful man!
Evil Doer, forget about harming others!
Rotten Monk, mind your own business!
- Older Brother Hanwen, are you okay? - Hanwen.
I'm ok. I thought sister Bai already thought it through.
I didn't think that although she's divorced now, she still won't go easy on me.
Xiao Qing has always been headstrong. It may not have been Bai Suzhen's idea.
It's not. Xiao Qing thought that I'm going to marry Ruyi.
Suzhen will misunderstand.
Hanwen, don't explain. The both of you are already divorced. There's nothing to explain.
I don't have time to talk to you.
Hanwen, come back.
Older Brother Hanwen.
Ruyi, Hanwen can't figure it out right now. I will explain to him once he gets back!
Don't be anxious.
Rotten Monk, release me. I'm going to teach that rotten woman a lesson.
You are half immortal. Yet you don't know how to restrain yourself.
Instead, you act like an ordinary demon that behaves unscrupulously.
Aren't you afraid that it will harm your cultivation?
What do you mean by half immortal?
I wanted to get even on my Older Sister's behalf. Why should I restrain myself?
People slander you, dishonour you, bully you, despise you.
You only need to tolerate him, cede to him and avoid him.
How can you cultivate if you seek revenge for everything?
I'm cultivating so that I can live freely.
Who makes me feel uneasy, I'd beat him up until he feels uneasy.
If I can't freely repay gratitude or to revenge, then I'd rather be a snake.
To repay gratitude or to revenge at your own pleasure is just the endless sea of tribulations.
It's not the real ultimate bliss.
Stinky monk, what do you know about the ultimate bliss?
You're too obstinate to be awakened. Let me show you what ultimate bliss is.
What's there to see?
Stinky monk, where is the ultimate bliss you talked about?
The Avatamsaka realm, is like the cloud and great ocean.
The ultimate bliss I wanted to show you is all here in this sutra collections.
What ultimate bliss can you find in here?
Rotten Monk, you are not fooling me, right?
A monk has never done this to others.
If you wish to grasp true cultivation,
stay here and copy the scriptures.
Copy scriptures?
How should I copy scriptures? Rotten Monk, don't leave.
Rotten Monk, come back. You...
Stinky monk, you even dare to plot against me!
- Let me out! - The Depository of Scriptures has set a prohibition.
It'll be unlocked after you've finished copying ten scriptures.
The power of Buddha is boundless. Hope you can restrain your evil nature, and devote yourself to cultivation.
Who wants to cultivate? If you have the guts, come back now.
And let us fight for eight hundred rounds.
It's only just copying scriptures. Fa Hai, you...
Just wait and see.
Depository of Scriptures
Young Lady...
I finally found you.
Did you write the separation paper?
Miss Bai, can you tell me,
what exactly happened?
Actually, I should have clarified with you
But every time I think of you, I get a splitting headache.
Stop thinking about it then.
I wanted to leave. Don't blame yourself.
Miss Bai. Although I can't remember anything
but I know that this is very important to us.
Please tell me. We...
We...
How did we meet?
Then how did we get to know one another?
Later, what was the situation?
Please tell me.
Do you remember this place?
I...
Since you have forgotten, is there a need to talk about this again?
What others told you...weren't your own thoughts.
Rather than adding more worries, it's better to let go.
But even if I can't remember the past,
I can't have the future too?
You said to let the past be in the past.
Then, what about the future?
If there's no past, would there be any future?
You and I have exhausted our fate together.
From now on, I take you as a passer-by. Please take care!
Miss Bai.
