♫ Last night, I was worried about you ♫
♫ This morning, luxuriant blooms are right in front of my eyes ♫
♫ Once I saw your graceful reflection, I was deeply enthralled ♫
♫ My love for you is so deep that fear is inevitable ♫
♫ Yet it is making me feign sanguinity ♫
♫ I have removed and discarded my body armor and helmet long ago. Only wish, forever and ever ♫
♫ To whisper loving words in your ear ♫
♫ I am willing to forego immense prestige and glory for you ♫
♫ To hold your hand as we walk into the horizon ♫
♫ All the way, from fine black hair to white hair ♫
♫ I can't bear to step on the fallen petals everywhere on the ground ♫
♫ Our encounters and separations will all be merged together as alluviums ♫
♫ What avail do I have when I don't want to drink Lady Meng's tea to forget our bridge to the past? ♫
♫ Your most beautiful times with me are engraved in my heart ♫
[ The Eternal Love 2 ]

[ Episode 10 ]
This will be our new room from now on.
It is a sunlit room facing south.
A prime location within the 8th Prince Manor. Bring your knapsack and move in.
Enjoy the extravagance!
Xiao Tan! This place is so nice!
There is still another room inside.
This is so good.
How about it? Do you like it?
I like it. If you like it, then I like it.
Come over here. I still have something else to show you.
For you.
- For me? - Yes.
We should enjoy the blessings and endure the hardships together.
Here in Dong Yue, you are my only friend.
What's mine is yours. Don't act on ceremony.
Go ahead and try it on.
Thank you, Miss Xiao Tan.
These are so pretty.
That one is mine.
I know. I was just being happy for you.
Such a pretty dress.
This one is pretty too.
Imagine us two, as being the Victoria's Secret models of Dong Yue.
You must walk with the fierce confident air of a Victoria's Secret woman.
Go!
8th Prince has arrived!
I still haven't knocked yet.
I'm going out in disguise as a commoner now.
Keep a low profile...
Qu Tan'er, don't be disrespectful!
If you dare be unruly again,
I will confiscate your 1000 taels of gold!
8th Prince.
Unruly!
How dare you, little girl! How dare you gaze at me with disdain?!
How can I maintain my authority as a cold-faced Prince in Dong Yue?
But, it's not that I want to appear so cold.
I don't like looking long into the faces of others
because I'm afraid that others will notice
the gentleness and kindness in my heart.
If it wasn't for my manly tenderness,
how could I have been so magnanimous and generous
to give these splendid dresses
and such a bright hous--
Continue on with it.
I admit my mistakes!
Earlier, I shouldn't have joked around like this.
But, everything I said really were my sincere words.
None of my gratitude toward Your Highness is fake at all.
I'm a little thirsty. Do you two ladies have any good tea here?
Yes, yes, we have! I'll serve you tea right away!
8th Brother, stop scowling.
Or else, you'll really scare those two girls.
Although Miss Tan'er's behavior is a bit reckless,
I can tell from what I heard that
Miss Tan'er knows 8th Brother quite well.
Xiao Tan!
- Greetings, Prince. - Scholar, do you need anything?
I won't disturb Prince from having his tea. I just want to invite Miss Xiao Tan to come to the Snow Villa with me.
- When? - Now.
Thank you, 8th Prince.
I'll take my leave.
8th Prince, you're back!
♫ Being together or separated, a flutter of fate will control ♫
Tan'er...
I'm right here.
♫ The fruit of the world's karma ♫
♫ suddenly descends from the heavens ♫
Immediately familiarize yourself with this place.
From now on, it will be just the two of us here in Snow Villa.
Yes.
♫ Infatuation is to float into a whirlpool ♫
♫ From removing the estrangement to degenerate willingly ♫
Never thought that inside the heart of Scholar Liu Shang, there resides a princess-like lady.
Isn't this style too feminine?
Rather than saying that a strategist lives here,
it would be better to say that the 8th Prince's Consort would live here.
I also think that it suits the consort of 8th Prince well.
Right! Right!
It will be perfect if we planted a few more roses.
♫ Love til' turning the world upside down is only for the happiness now ♫
♫ The gentleness of a small stream which flows far ♫
♫ isn't something that extremely frivolous youngsters know ♫
Do you like it?
Not only that,
I feel as if I have seen all this before.
Do you remember anything?
This is my first time seeing such a view, so it's not suitable to talk about remembering.
But, I've always dreamed of
having this kind of courtyard with roses like that.
I never thought that Scholar could read my thoughts.
It's too difficult to predict fate. Maybe you are the person, Snow Villa has been waiting for.
Scholar, aren't you afraid that I'll run away?
Don't worry.
- With a Snow Villa this beautiful. I can't wait to come here every day. - That will be great then.
♫ One doesn't live one's life in vain ♫
♫ unless one has shed tears and repented ♫
♫ During my first awakening of love, I don't know whether it's worthy or not ♫
This Snow Villa is indeed beautiful,
but it's too feminine for him.
After Scholar met our Prince,
he's been able to always save him in the nick of time.
He even asked to move into this Snow Villa. The interior was styled for the 8th Prince's Consort.
Could it be Scholar is not contented with just being a strategist?
Does he also want to be 8th Prince's buddy in a bromance?
♫ Should one be stingy because of the affection one has given out? ♫
But, 8th Prince is just as suspicious.
Before, he even hid himself in his study to secretly draw a portrait of Scholar.
As for these two people, the more I think of them, the more horrible it feels.
Tan'er, you still love roses as much as before
and have ideas that roam freely without any boundary.
The owner of this Snow Villa will always be you.
No matter how long, I will wait, until we fall in love with each other again.
[Commercial Break Episode continues at 13:12 mark]
[8th Prince Manor]
Xiao Tan!
Xiao Tan, you'd better get up right away.
Don't forget.
Tomorrow is the day you agreed to meet with Eldest Prince.
Jing Xin, this issue concerns the planning of my life and future direction.
How could I forget it?
It's just that... I've promised 8th Prince
that I'll go to the Snow Villa to take care of Scholar Liu Shang.
Say, I've worn the new clothes,
lived in the new house, and took the money.
Also, I've promised Scholar Liu Shang that I won't run away.
It is just the second day tomorrow.
How can I ask for leave that early?
Then Eldest Prince...
Jing Xin, how about you going on my behalf?
Me?
Since Mo Yi Huai has become the Eldest Prince of Dong Yue, with such a special status,
he surely has a lot of things that he can't just talk about so casually.
Regarding our going home, I'll use English to ask him this time.
Outsiders won't be able to understand it.
Maybe, he will then be able to talk to his heart's content.
Too bad, I didn't study it well.
My English vocabulary...
I'll just have to do my best.
Dear Best Friend,
your status now is really quite special. (writing Chinese characters mixed in with English words)
I deeply
understand.
But,
Dong Yue is not my home.
I miss my home very much.
Best Friend, don't worry.
Currently, nobody in Dong Yue suspects anything.
We... can
at any...
anytime...
Let's go!
Is it to be by river or by sea?
[ Eldest Prince Manor ]
Prince, this is a letter written personally by my Lady.
She said that you would surely understand her thoughts once you read this.
The handwriting of Tan'er is like snakes and dragons. I can't understand the meaning of this at all.
Prince, when Miss was writing, I was by her side.
How about if I decipher it for you? Would that be acceptable?
Please read it.
Dear Best Friend, your status is...
is...
What this means is after considering your status,
it is inconvenient for her to proceed with your meeting. She feels guilty about it.
Hence, she promises that she'll surely come for the second one.
Tan'er has always been considerate and understanding.
I deeply... step-mother.
This means that the deeper you love, the more you feel perturbed.
Her days in the 8th Prince Manor are like serving Madam back at Qu Manor.
She's always in fear, unable to eat or sleep well.
"Best Friend, wait for me!" Lady repeatedly expressed her deep affection towards you with those words.
She said that you two know each other the best.
Lastly, at any time...
[Let's go!]
Come any time... to this ditch.
Right, come any time to this ditch, but it will be better by the river.
What this means is that there are too many people inside the 8th Prince's manor.
It's really not convenient for her to come to this meeting.
Hence, it's better to move the meeting place to the river bank where you two usually meet.
This was indeed written by Tan'er.
I surely will not disappoint her.
Greetings, sir.
May I ask what your instructions are?
In attending to his needs every day,
keep an arm's distance. Less than that is prohibited.
Oh, no! Never thought that I'd break the decree of 8th Prince this early on.
I should be more careful next time.
Miss, do you know how to play the zither?
I don't.
Let me teach you.
♫ I'm within a vast sea of people, while you're in the summit of the end of the world ♫
♫ Chilly spring, autumn dreams, no one thinks of you ♫
♫ The gentle wind infiltrates into the dark night, the peach flower blossoms for a year again ♫
♫ We are like swallows that couldn't bear to part ♫
♫ Looking at the window from afar as the snow floats down, my heart has dreamt of you a thousand times ♫
♫ Just like a flower or a butterfly, so indistinct ♫
♫ Rather than missing, it's better to not think of her; Tears will age one's face ♫
♫ Thousands of continuous strings, it's so hard to get stranded ♫
♫ At the time we became lovers for two lifetimes ♫
♫ We can't return anymore to our first encounter ♫
♫ People have always known that it's hard to fulfill true love ♫
♫ Yet still gambled one's lifetime for it ♫
Please forgive me.
It's okay.
♫ At the time we became lovers for two lifetimes ♫
- Tan'er, serve me tea. - Yes.
♫ We can't return anymore to our first encounter ♫
♫ People have always known that it's hard to fulfill true love ♫
♫ Yet still gambled one's lifetime for it ♫
Inside his room, the screen serves as your boundary. Going beyond it, is prohibited.
Sir.
The tea is ready. Can you drink it in the tea room?
No.
Qu Xiao Tan, Qu Xiao Tan... you must not enter his bed chamber.
Or else, you'll be breaking the second rule of 8th Prince.
Your reward will then be all gone.
Tan'er, get me some lighter and softer clothes.
Yes.
As long as I don't go past the screen, it doesn't count as breaking the Prince's second rule.
Maybe, I'll even can get myself some benefits.
There's no question that he is handsome.
I don't know if he has any muscles on him.
Sir, I am coming over. You must be ready to receive them well.
I was not careful...
Miss, since you've entered my bed chamber,
can you serve the tea here too?
Yes. I'll go get it now.
My god...
Not only did I not discover anything suspicious, I even broke the Prince's rules.
If I still don't check out his muscles, wouldn't I have lost out big time?
Miss, use this to cover your eyes.
That way, we'll both feel more comfortable staying inside my chamber.
I'm not uncomfortable. Sir, you're worrying unnecessarily.
Tan'er, a lady must learn to be modest.
No matter who the other person is, you shouldn't just casually peek at a man's body.
Don't even think about it. You must remember since this is a grave matter.
Why does his scent smell so familiar?
Tan'er, don't remove the blindfold.
Sir,
do you really believe in the existence of fate in this world?
If given the chance,
I surely will let you meet a confidant who understands you well.
If you knew this unique client before, you two surely would get along well.
There's something that you don't know.
That confidant of yours also loves to change clothes.
He loves white and has an obsession for cleanliness.
Also, he also likes to force others to wash his clothes.
He also likes mysterious and unusual music.
It's very similar to the zither tune you played.
He is very smart, but he uses it to decipher other people's passwords.
In this aspect, he can't be compared with you, sir.
Although I can't explain my current situation today,
it surely is critically related to him.
You know quite a lot of minor details about this confidant of mine.
Could it be that he is the one you love?
No way!
Even if I do, I can't go back anymore.
♫ Wind-like me got exiled to the end of the world ♫
♫ The dream that can't be held, just let it disperse ♫
♫ A wild arrogant self is actually the character that you are deeply hiding. ♫
♫ Let me flee your limitless control ♫
After saying so much,
it is more or less time to inspect those muscles.
[8th Prince Manor]
Xiao Tan!
Jing Xin, you have worked hard...
Quickly sit. I prepared all these for you.
Hurry up and eat. Let's chat while eating.
My thanks to you.
Tell me quickly.
Eldest Prince said that he understands your painstaking effort and is deeply moved by it.
Oh, yes. This is the reply letter from Eldest Prince.
All his affection is written in here.
- Quickly read it. - Let me see.
So long. And it's even in traditional form and classical Chinese style.
After writing a letter, I realized that my English was bad.
After trying to read this reply letter, I now realize that I also don't know classical Chinese.
I will surely have to study more.
How about if you read it for me?
When did a happy meeting
became a sorrowful parting?
To whom will I vent my yearning?
A day not thinking of you and my brows will knit a thousand times.
Don't read anymore...
Why do all these lines sound so cheesy?
Jing Xin, carefully read it and see whether there is any...
well... special content.
Xiao Tan and Eldest Prince are indeed connected by your hearts. He especially instructed
that he wrote all the important contents in here. Look.
- Quickly read it for me! - All right.
Look here.
The calm silence cherishes the slow-flowing stream. The moonlight shines over the water
touching the tip of the willow tree. The first two verses, it mean that
Eldest Prince agrees that there are too many people here in 8th Prince Manor.
Hence, it's better to change the meeting place to somewhere near water.
As for the time, it will be when moonlight shines over the water,
which means around midnight.
Got it!
Jing Xin, it was exactly because I fell into the water before
that I ended up in this damn place. To leave this place,
it'll surely have something to do with water too, right?
Also,
Dear...
let us meet at our old place.
My poetic heart will roam the paradise.
Mo Yi Huai's English is lamer than mine.
Best Friend... he finally admitted it.
No matter how many difficulties have hindered Eldest Prince and my Lady,
their hearts are still able to stay connected. I earnestly pray that
they can end up together and not disappoint each other's love.
Jing Xin. If it weren't afraid I'd miss this important thing tonight if I got drunk,
I surely will drink with you and sing.
- We should celebrate. - Yes.
Today,
let's replace wine with snacks. Cheers!
Cheers!
Here, one more time.
Alright.
Cheers!
I'll go look for my Best Friend now.
Two good friends reuniting and going home together. Goodbye, Dong Yue.
You seem to be in a hurry. Where are you going?
Sir, you said that while outside the Snow Villa,
it's my private time.
But earlier, I didn't give you permission to leave.
Sir, what else do you need?
Assist me in taking a bath.
All perverts are the very same.
Taking baths in broad daylight?!
Since my Best Friend already admitted it. It won't be too late to see him a bit later.
You might have escaped earlier when you changed clothes, but you won't escape me now in your bath.
Just see how I'll deal with you.
Okay. I will assist you now in taking a bath.
Oh, no. To prevent her from seeing Royal Brother,
I even had to come up with an excuse like taking a bath.
Since I've said it, I can only...
What is with all these curtains and screens?
Why don't I just close the doors for you?
Sure. When you go out, remember to close the doors after you.
Sir, since you are this shy, why then do you still ask me to assist you with a bath?
Either you go out and close the doors,
or you cover your eyes. Choose one.
I'll just go out then.
Sir, just call me if you need anything.
How is the water temperature?
It is a bit cold. I'll add a bit more hot water.
1... 2... 3!
It seems that Tan'er's proclivity for mischief must be corrected now.
Sir, I am giving you a high quality wine
as a gift for your move into the Snow Villa. You surely will love it.
8th Prince, Scholar is currently taking a bath.
Taking a bath?
Did you break the 3 rules?
No, no... I definitely didn't. I meticulously followed your 3 commands and rules.
I didn't play the zither with him
or peek at him while he changed his clothes.
And he was also very cautious.
When he takes a bath, not only is there a screen and curtains,
he even asks me to wait outside the door for him to call for assistance.
8th Prince, I did notice something strange about him.
That is, he's quite a big sissy.
When he takes a bath, he even likes to burn incense.
If you haven't entered his inner chamber, how did you know that?
He is very careful. He gave me a blindfold to cover my eyes.
I didn't see anything.
He is too cautious. That's a bit abnormal.
Could he be hiding some secret?
