Nine-Part Rhyme by Ye Xuan Qing
♫ Time is like a shuttle which just passed by but comes back right away ♫
♫ Feeling is like silk that we're unaware of how entangled it has become ♫
♫ Weave a piece of glamorous ornamentation ♫
♫ with both of our deep loves ♫
♫ It's hard to entrust this love-sickness to someone ♫
♫ I'm willing to become that extremely hopeful bluestone ♫
♫ with your name seal carved into my heart ♫
♫ Turn back to be a butterfly inside a sealed cocoon ♫
♫ to weave spring silk ♫
♫ which cannot be cut but is mingled ♫
♫ forever and ever ♫

The Eternal Love
Episode 1
Time which has passed cannot be reversed.
Space that is static cannot be bent. According to Albert Einstein,
there is a strong force within space that can change the speed of time
and can bend space.
It's exactly the mysterious force from the mystical land
that changed the country of Dong Yue and our heroine.
A month ago, the second daughter of the Qu family attempted suicide for the eldest prince.
Ever since then, she has greatly changed.
Miss, you're awake?
Miss, do you want to eat something spicy or sweet today?
Indeed, it's this again.
I really am still in this stupid place.
It looks like she wants to eat something spicy today.
- You two can leave first. - Yes.
- You two come with me. - Yes.
Put the things here.
Miss, let me help you get ready.
How many times have I said it? Stop calling me "Miss"!
I'm a professional!
But... you are the second daughter of the Royal Secretary.
Stop talking!
From now on, just call me... Xiao Tan!
Yes.
Hey!
I'll do it myself.
What kind of stupid toothbrush is this? The hairs come off!
There's nothing we can do. No one has seen such a thing before.
The carpenters already made it according to your requests.
Alright, alright.
Y-y-you! I'll do it myself!
X...
Forget it, you should do it.
Jing Xin, how is the search for the bed going?
Xiao Tan, I've searched the entire Qu manor.
But I didn't see the antique bed you're talking about.
What?! The bed isn't here?
Then what am I staying here for?
Let's go!
Miss, you cannot go!
Have you forgotten? The 8th Prince is coming to discuss his marriage to you today!
When was that agreed to? Why don't I remember anything?
Besides, that means I really need to leave!
That old man Qu has never liked me! He must have found an
old and ugly husband for me!
The 8th Prince's looks are legendary
and famous all through Dong Yue!
How could he be old and ugly?
Stop lying to me! How could such a great thing happen to me?
It's true!
To see the 8th Prince once, the maids and old women in the back villa,
have all gone to the front villa now!
Then that means... we're the only ones left here now?
Prince.
It's alright.
How ridiculous!
8th Prince, we'll have to offend you!
You know who I am and yet you are still so daring?
Your master is indeed in a rush.
Cut the crap! If you don't hand over the Royal Order today, don't even think about leaving!
Oh? Yu Hao,
it looks like they're underestimating you.
Prince, how do you intend to deal with these bastards?
This chess game is full of loopholes. Do as you see fit.
Then I'll play with them slowly.
Advance by retreating, lead your enemy into the trap.
Who wins is not decided within one moment.
If you want to win, you must understand the enemy's weaknesses.
I've seen enough of this chess game.
You're too slow.
I was not capable.
Clean up this place. I'll leave first.
Should we take these people back for interrogation?
Those who saw my skills...
Yes.
What a good opportunity!
Miss! What have you come here for?
Do you even need to ask? I never wanted to stay here anyway!
Time to go!
Miss, you can't! You cannot leave!
Why not? Jing Xin, stop wasting your breath. Help me find a ladder!
A ladder? There are no ladders here.
No ladders? You don't even have a firefighting ladder here?
There is no safety awareness at all!
Forget it.
I'll do it myself!
Miss! You cannot leave, you really can't!
Miss! Miss, you really can't!
You never left the manor before! You didn't even go watch the servants clean!
Why do you want to climb the wall to escape now? Miss!
Jing Xin! You underestimate me too much!
Back then, when I was a real estate agent,
those customers never left me their keys!
I had to find my way in myself! It wasn't just when I was wearing flats!
I can get in even if I'm wearing killer high heels!
Miss! You really can't, Miss!
Miss, hurry up and come down!
- This is too high up! - Miss, hurry up and come down!
I'm begging you!
The baskets! Bring me that basket!
Miss, Miss, you should just come down, I'm begging you!
Forget it, forget it, I'll do it myself!
Miss--!
Jing Xin! Jing Xin!
Miss, you really can't! If you leave, the Master will kill me!
Then just let him!
Miss!
- Let go! - Miss, you really cannot go!
Jing Xin! Let go!
Miss! Miss!
Miss!
Miss! Miss, you must not fall!
It's so high up! How can I get down?
♫ Being together or separated, a flutter of fate will control ♫
♫ What is a flutter of fate? ♫
♫ The fruit of the world's karma suddenly descends from the heavens ♫
♫ which has been confusing to people ♫
Hey! Mister! Wait a second!
Mister!
♫ Infatuation is to float into a whirlpool ♫
♫ from remove the estrangement ♫
♫ to degenerate willingly ♫
♫ Going downhill is a dead fish and a broken fishnet ♫
Mister!
I... was too playful
and climbed up here to look at the scenery.
But now... I can't get down!
Mister, can you help me?
♫ During my first awakening of love,... ♫
Men and women must keep their distance.
Mister, look! There's no one else here! You've overthought it!
My conscience will not let me.
Hurry up, hurry up!
Not good! Second Young Miss is trying to commit suicide again!
Be careful!
- Don't pull me! - Miss, hurry and come down!
Don't pull me! Go away!
Mister! Let me tell you. Actually,
I was abducted to here!
They want to sell me to the brothel!
Didn't you say you went up there to look at the scenery?
You sissy! You sure have a lot of crap to say!
Hurry up, hurry up!
- Be careful! - Got her!
Go away! Mister, there's no time!
Hurry and catch me!
Catch me!
Miss!
Miss! Miss, wake up!
Are you okay, Miss?
Hurry and get up.
Be careful.
Just now, I just accidentally slipped from the wall.
I am alright. Thank you for all your trouble.
I have embarrassed myself, sir.
No matter what embarrassing things I've done,
I hope you will not mind.
If you let your future husband see such an embarrassment,
what should you do?
Jing Xin, hurry and help me go inside.
Yes.
Why has this girl suddenly completely changed?
Xiao Tan, you scared me to death just now!
You must not do something like that ever again.
What did you call me?
X-Xiao Tan.
Jing Xin. Why have you been so rude recently?
You not only stopped following the rules of common courtesy,
you even let me fall from the wall!
Yes, you are right, Miss.
I won't dare to do it again.
The Master has asked the Second Young Miss to come to the front room to see the 8th Prince
and to discuss the wedding.
I understand.
Go and tell Father that I will come soon.
Yes.
For having to bother the 8th Prince to personally come discuss the wedding, I am quite regretful.
You must be joking, Lord Qu.
In a few days, I have to call you Father-in-Law.
I do not dare. You are too serious, Prince.
I heard that your daughter is born of a concubine?
If you mind and want to break the engagement...
My father arranged the marriage, so of course, I will not break the engagement.
Wouldn't that be going against a Royal Order?
Lord Qu, you cannot make such jokes.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
8th Prince, Master, Madam. The Second Young Miss has arrived.
8th Prince, do you want to see my daughter now?
I... am very interested.
Tan'er! Come! Greet the 8th Prince!
I heard that you are very well educated.
I heard a new phrase recently.
I don't know what it means. Can you tell me?
You have praised me too much. Please go ahead.
I want to ask, what does "niang pao" (sissy) mean?
I am not very well educated.
I truly do not know what this word means.
You have never heard of it before?
No.
Prince, what does "niang pao" mean?
If I knew, I wouldn't have asked her.
Yes, yes, yes.
Alright, I've already seen the young lady's face today.
Tomorrow, I'll send people over for the ceremonial preparations.
I will ask that Lord Qu pick an auspicious date to marry her to me.
Yu Hao! Prepare my horse.
Yes.
Goodbye, Prince.
8th Prince.
Secretary Qu please stay put, I'm used to being casual.
I do not dare to treat you poorly.
If you feel like you are treating me poorly,
then please take good care of my future consort for me.
Do not worry.
Goodbye.
That's too much! They dare to attack a prince in broad daylight!
It must be because you usually hide your abilities, and instead made those lunatics eager to attack!
So many officials and generals favor you!
Yet you refused all of them!
By the way 8th Brother, it's time you start gathering talents and spread your wings.
Spreading one's wings too early will also reach one's limits too soon.
The people in this world seek after their own benefits. What they want,
I may not want to give.
Are you not afraid they'll change their allegiance?
In fighting for the throne, it's taboo to switch sides too easily.
So they won't.
Miss, you haven't said a word since you came back.
Are you not satisfied with the 8th Prince?
How can someone like me be unsatisfied with anyone?
Who would care about my thoughts?
I am just a blade of grass floating along with the wind.
The Madam has arrived!
Qu Tan'er. Kneel!
Climbing the wall and embarrassing the family, you broke the family rules! Do you know that?
Please punish me Madam, it's my fault! Please spare Miss!
Jing Xin! Shut your mouth.
Miss!
Madam, I know I was wrong. Please punish me.
Alright. Since you know you were wrong, then accept the family punishment.
Come!
Madam!
Don't! Don't! Madam!
Madam, I'm begging you, spare her just this once!
I wanted to spare her.
Look at her. Does she appreciate it?
Today, she actually wanted to climb the wall and escape?
Do you still want to be with the First Prince?
Qu Tan'er! Think about your identity!
You dare to fight with Pan'er?
When did I ever steal from Eldest Sister?
Who stole from who?
What?
You dare to talk back to me now?
Madam!
Talk! Are you still thinking about the First Prince?
I didn't think about anything! Nothing at all!
Alright.
Remember what you said here today!
Miss! Miss! Wake up, Miss!
Miss!
Enough! Stop yelling!
Hurry and get up!
Miss!
Miss! Miss!
Why does it hurt all over my body?
What are you doing?!
What?
You're not bullying me while I'm asleep, are you? You're too much!
Qu Tan'er, you climbed over the wall to escape!
You embarrassed the family, and now you're talking nonsense?
I think you haven't had enough punishment yet!
You're bullying me because of such a small matter?
It's because this stupid house has bad Feng Shui!
That's why I wanted to leave and get some fresh air!
What nonsense are you saying?
Who's talking nonsense? You must have reached menopause early!
It's because of this stupid house!
How about I find you a house with good geomantic omen, in a nice location, and with zero down payment
to help you with your menopause!
Alright, Qu Tan'er! You've gone crazy.
Did you all see? Qu Tan'er has gone crazy!
Men! Men!
Hurry and lock her up!
Who dares?! Whoever isn't satisfied, come and fight with me!
What are you standing there for? Hurry up and come here!
- Miss! - Lock her up!
- Miss! - Let go of me!
Miss!
Shut up!
I'm so angry!
8th Prince, 14th Prince.
Go ahead.
After you left, I went back and saw Madam Qu bully the Second Young Miss.
She was very cruel.
That bastard Qu Zhao Ying! To get what he wants,
he even does this to his own daughter!
The Qu family is letting me marry this Qu Tan'er.
They are indeed putting their all into this play.
What do you mean, 8th Brother?
First, they let me see her climb the wall.
Then, they used her to put on an act in front of me.
If it were you, this girl would have already tricked you.
Yu Hao, pass along my order.
After the 8th Consort comes here, she must always be watched.
Yes.
I heard that the second daughter of the Qu family once attempted suicide for First Brother. Did you know?
Yes.
Then do you know about the Qu family's relationship with First Brother?
Yes.
Then why are you still marrying her? Aren't you afraid that she'll...?
Since I dare to marry her then, of course, I'll have my own way of dealing with her.
Hey! Is there anyone there? Open the door!
I want to go to the bathroom!
Madam said that you must finish the mandarin duck embroidery.
You can leave whenever you finish it.
Hey! I don't know how to embroider a purse!
Hurry and open the door! I'm about to pee my pants!
Can't I embroider it when I come back?
Second Young Miss, embroider slowly. I'll let you out when you finish.
If you pee your pants, the servants will wash them for you.
How ridiculous!
What do you mean, embroider? I haven't even seen a pair of mandarin ducks before!
It's more like I should embroider some crows!
As an agent and independent woman of the new century,
I've actually fallen low enough to have a quickie marriage!
I'm so infuriated! Arranged marriages can kill people.
It looks like what we're looking for is in Dong Yue.
It disappeared for 100 years. After searching every country,
it's finally appeared.
And I thought this was just made up in those wuxia stories.
So this sort of thing really exists?
Since I'm the second daughter of the Qu family now,
then it's okay if I take a look!
Let's see what secret Old Man Qu has!
What's going on? I didn't steal another agent's house recently!
I didn't steal anyone else's customer either! Why am I being chased?
"I drink continuously but still cannot get drunk."
"I've read this book numerous times but I've forgotten it before."

Let Go by Wang Cheng Zhang
