♫ 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 ♫
♫ As an ordinary family along the way ♫
♫ 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 ♫

[8th Prince Manor]
Your Highness.
Your Highness's calligraphy skills have already progressed to this level.
You don't even need any more ink.
I'm impressed. I'm impressed.
Sir, you must immediately help me test the thoughts of the Princess.
I must not become her choice for a marriage alliance.
Your Highness, why are you not willing to have this marriage alliance?
Although Yong Ye is small, its influence is still considered formidable.
You clearly know the answer.
Quickly help me come up with a good plan.
I don't have a good plan,
but I do have some ability in understanding the thoughts of a person.
This one, I'm taking. This one and that one and that too. I want them all.
I'm taking this sword.
Sorry, Miss. This sword has been reserved by someone already.
How about choosing some other sword?
What if I say that I just have to have this sword?
Miss, aren't you making things difficult for me?
I can't choose the person.
Now, I can't even choose an object that I like?! Are you selling it or not?
Miss, you're making things difficult for me.
If you don't sell it to me, I'm destroying your shop!
Wait!
Let go! I hate meddlesome people the most.
Princess does not want this marriage alliance. But because you were born into a royal family,
you have no choice but to become a pawn in a power struggle.
You can't even choose your own marriage.
You can't choose the man you love.
Hence, Princess remains discontent with a lot of pent up frustrations.
That's why you want to vent your anger on the shopkeeper. Am I right?
Princess is valiant and skillful in both literary knowledge and fighting. You won't lose to any man.
Of course, you want to be like a man and have your own achievements.
Do the things that you want and happily live your life.
This man was able to accurately understand what I'm thinking.
Who is he?
Sir, are you working for Eldest Prince
or 8th Prince?
Princess is indeed very intelligent.
I'm the strategist of 8th Prince, Liu Shang.
8th Prince asked me to hand this item to you.
You can go back and report on your task.
I know that 8th Prince has someone he loves, so of course, I won't force him.
Moreover, I also now have a choice.
I heard that Princess already has someone you like.
May I know who it is among my royal sons?
Princess, there's no need to be shy.
I'll support you on your choice. Say it.
Cheng'er? Princess, you have good sight.
Cheng'er has a calm natural disposition.
Princess is straightforward and carefree.
You two are a perfect match.
8th Prince,
the person I like isn't you.
It's your strategist, Liu Shang.
You're really something, Mo Lian Cheng. In just a short time, you already got some foreign mistress?!
You'd better be honest with me. How did you make that Fairy Lan girl like you?!
Are you jealous?
No, I'm not!
Since it's like that, marrying a foreign princess is not bad either.
Oh, right. What did you call her? Fairy Lan? So adorable.
Mo Lian Cheng!
You... Adorable?!
Tan'er, do you know how much I love seeing you get anxious
and jealous because of me?
This proves that you have me in your heart.
Tan'er, do you know how happy I am?
Wrong.
That Fairy Lan still likes you.
The one she likes isn't me,
but Liu Shang. Didn't you also sometimes
find that mask interesting?
No! I must set things straight with her!
Tan'er! Don't be impulsive.
I will clarify things with her tomorrow.
Cheng Cheng, I'm keeping your mask in my care for now.

My god! I had to spend more than 10 hours putting on this special effects make-up.
I even made my own custom foot soles. That wasn't easy.
In this operation, I can only succeed. Failure is not an option.
Princess Lan Ye Xi, you know that I...
No, no.
Princess, do you know that I already like someone else? I can't marry you.
Princess. I hope you won't--
Princess, I hope you won't mind.
Princess, I hope you won't mind. I'm just this unruly.
What a coincidence. I like a man who acts as natural as you.
Little thing, giving me the royal elder style?!
But, why does your voice seem so strange?
My god, her standards for him are quite high.
It appears that I have to give it my best.
A few days ago, I had a cold, hence, my voice became hoarse.
And my food intake was improper, hence, I damaged my larynx.
Princess, I beg for your understanding.
What? If you dislike my voice, then leave.
My voice may never recover. I might sound this bad forever.
I don't mind. As long as it's your voice,
it's like listening to fairy music for me.
I can't move anymore.
This item... are you giving this to me?
Of course.
Can you let me see it?
My god, how much would these precious gems cost?
It could at least buy a two-bedroom house with both front and back doors.
Do you like it?
I like it. I like it.
Princess, let me be honest with you.
I already have someone I like. I can't marry you. It's true.
But sir, it's too late for you to change your mind. We have a rule in our Yong Ye Kingdom.
Since you've accepted my gift, you are mine.
A pick-up trick... you ancient folks actually are also this slick.
I was a wise woman all my life, yet I got beaten here.
What do I do now?!
Fine.
Princess, if you want to choose to marry me, that's fine too.
But you must accept my three habits.
That is picking my nose, farting, and hawking spit. I must do these three things a day as my habit.
If I don't, I feel unwell all over and am unable to sleep. Can you accept them?
What's hard about that? A real man should not be so petty.
I hate pretentious people the most.
I'm so dead. I just lifted a rock and smashed my own foot.
No, I must withdraw first and come up with another plan.
It's exactly as I predicted. Your body has been significantly weakened.
Your different senses are also starting to deteriorate.
Not only my health condition,
there are also two other things that are worrying me.
One is that Princess Lan Ye Xi chose me to be her groom.
I still don't know how to resolve that matter. The other thing is
Qu Jiang Lin seems to already know the secret of Tan'er.
He's doing everything to make her stay by his side.
Elder, I must get Tan'er away from Dong Yue.
Have you noticed any strange celestial phenomena lately?
That... I came this time
to bring you some medicine to slow the changes to your senses.
Elder, I want to increase the dosage.
You must not.
The drug effect of this medicine is too strong. If you increase the dose, it might instead harm your health.
I can't let my body continue to be this weak. I must protect Tan'er.
If anything bad happens to Tan'er, what's the point of my exerting all this effort?
Princess!
Princess, I'm the personal maid for Scholar Liu Shang, Qu Xiao Tan.
I was ordered by him to deliver you a huge present!
He just left, yet was in such a rush to give me a gift?
Princess, you can also see
how stingy Scholar Liu Shang is. He actually gave you a defective product.
Since we're both women, let me be honest with you.
Based on my many years of understanding Scholar Liu Shang,
he is an iron rooster that will not spare you even a feather.
If you two get together, it will be definitely an 'A-A' rule. (Algebraic Average: splitting the bills every time)
You know that we women can usually resolve all our problems through shopping,
but he definitely will not buy things for you.
So what? I'm richer than this state.
I can just buy the things I want myself.
My husband just needs to be very handsome.
It's because I see you as close family, hence, I will tell this to you.
That Liu Shang is ruthless, heartless, and always wears a scowl.
If you two get married, your future days will be full of dark clouds.
And there might be hailstorms from time to time.
That would be great. I hate people who talk too much.
This way, it's unlikely for him to have other women in the future.
Princess!
Look at you. You're beautiful and talented. Worth a million.
Why must you look for a man and get yourself all tied up?
You should become a single royal.
From now on, just look for any handsome man that you want.
What you said is reasonable too.
But this doesn't affect me being with Liu Shang.
In the future, if I find another man that I like, I can just divorce him.
You...
My god, she's a divine diva!
[Liu Shang]
Greetings, Crown Prince.
I wasn't yet able to congratulate you
on becoming the Crown Prince.
I hope you can forgive me.
Lord Qu, you came this time not simply just to congratulate me, right?
Say it. What is it about?
Crown Prince, you indeed have intelligent ears and sharp eyes.
It's like this. Currently, all the Princes of Dong Yue are outstanding and talented in fighting.
Why then did the Princess choose a commoner to be her husband?
Also, I initially thought that 8th Prince wasn't interested in the marriage alliance.
But who knew that he secretly sent his strategist to get in contact with the Princess.
The scheming mind of 8th Prince is really very deep and immeasurable.
Lord Qu, why must I give any importance
to a mere Yong Ye Kingdom?
Right...
What Crown Prince said is so right.
You are the future ruler of this kingdom. A minor matter like that isn't worth mentioning.
Your Highness, looking at how gloomy you seem,
I couldn't help but remember my daughter, Tan'er.
Because Tan'er was born of a concubine, she has felt humiliated since she was little.
She lacks a sense of security.
She refused to commit herself to you wasn't because she doesn't like you.
She's worried that you can't protect her for a lifetime.
Your Highness, just for your sake, I'll be bold.
In my opinion,
if you can rule the kingdom early,
Tan'er will surely change her mind.
Oh, right, Your Highness, Crown Prince,
now that 8th Prince is eyeing your position covetously and secretly planning for it,
if you don't start stabilizing your power,
your eventual ascension to the throne might be filled with nightmares.
It would become very difficult.
Your Highness, I have this idea.
Why not marry Pan'er first?
Our families will then be connected by marriage. More importantly,
I've developed some subordinates of mine while I was among the foreign tribe.
They surely will be able to help you ascend to the throne early.
Your Highness, only by ascending to the throne early
can you be reunited with the person you love sooner.
For this, what's wrong with suffering a little?
Lord Qu.
Come with me to have some tea.
♫ Could it be that I need to learn to let go ♫
♫ And lower myself into the dirt ♫
♫ Because I love you so much? ♫
♫ But love has become a sharp double-edged sword ♫
♫ Only understanding each other fully can allow the blood to show in one slice ♫
Brother Yi Huai!
♫ Exhaust all the possible harmful words to speak ♫
♫ Without ever thinking about whether they can be taken back or not ♫
♫ After speaking them, I actually feel the sense of loss more ♫
♫ And also sadder ♫
♫ Why cause such trouble? ♫
♫ I ask myself whether I'm able to let go or not ♫
♫ Let go or not when all the love becomes hate in a flash ♫
♫ Who exactly are my tears for? ♫
♫ As for who wins and who loses, ♫
♫ Who really cares? ♫
Brother Yi Huai, I've prepared a lot of your favorite dishes.
Quickly look.
You don't need to do these things for me.
My manor has its own cook.
You don't know how happy I am to be able to do these things for you.
Not only cooking these dishes,
but even if you ask me to go up the blade mountain or go down to a pool of fire,
I will do them for you.
♫ Without ever thinking about whether they can be taken back or not ♫
I know that you treat me well.
I am also very grateful.
But you know that I only have Tan'er in my heart.
The marriage alliance between us is just that, an alliance.
Do you understand?
I understand.
But I willingly accept everything.
Loving you is the most important matter for me in this life.
No matter how you treat me,
I will never give up.
♫ We all hurt anyway ♫
Looks like, the phenomenon of the bewildered guardian of the heart (pertains to Mars) will be happening soon.
Look like that lad, Lian Cheng
doesn't need to endure the pain of disappearing anymore.
He can now successfully leave Dong Yue.
If that lad leaves,
I'll lead the different tribe leaders back to Magical Spirit Land.
This time, I was right.
Really good, you hateful servant.
I repeatedly sent men to the 8th Prince Manor to find you,
but you kept avoiding to see them using manor rules as an excuse.
Today, if not for you coming out for a chore,
I wouldn't have been able to see you, little scoundrel.
Jing Xin, do you know what you've done wrong?
Master, Madam,
I don't know what I have done wrong.
Not know what you've done wrong?
As the personal attendant of the Second Miss, you weren't able to guard her well.
You caused her to become crazy and have a complete change of personality.
And now, she's even willing to live under someone else's roof. Tell me,
how should you be punished?!
Men! Punish her according to house rules!
Madam!
Master...
Madam!
Jing Xin, Qu Tan'er refused to return to her own home and didn't follow the rules of filial piety.
You are responsible for it!
Now, it's just right that you suffer the punishment on her behalf!
Madam!
Madam, please forgive me!
Master, please forgive me.
Madam, Lady refused to return to her home because she was just following a royal decree.
How dare you, servant! You still dare to talk back?
I think you don't want to live anymore!
You must not want to live anymore!
You... How dare you, lowly servant!
Madam!
- Just continue shouting. - Madam!
Just continue shouting!
What's the matter? You told me to come in such a hurry.
I only got to eat half of my chicken drumstick.
Tan'er, listen to me carefully.
Liu Qian Shui has already seen some strange celestial phenomena.
If his calculations are right,
- the pathway to leave this place will open tonight. - Really?!
Later, I'm going to accompany 8th Prince to enter the Palace and have an audience with the King.
This is my chance to say my farewell to Royal Father.
You should then use this purchase list of ingredients as an excuse
to leave the manor early and wait for me by Ocean Lake.
After I meet Royal Father, I'll immediately go there to look for you.
My goodness! This is terrific!
I can finally leave this place.
When we go back, I can eat Malay crayfishes,
Japanese cuisine, hot pot—
Scholar Liu Shang, the horse and carriage are ready.
Sir, we must go.
I know now!
I'll get going then.
I must quickly go back and pack up my treasures.
When I go back, I'll be a little rich madam already.
- 14th Prince. - Tan'er...
Jing Xin is missing. Just now, I searched everywhere,
and I didn't see her.
Nothing happened to Jing Xin, right?
No way. Jing Xin has always been reliable.
If she's going to do something then she tells me ahead of time.
Did you see Jing Xin today?
Two hours ago, Jing Xin and I went out of the manor for some chores.
We bumped into the Butler of the Qu Manor.
The Butler then dragged Jing Xin back to their manor for questioning,
and she hasn't came back yet.
14th Prince, don't be anxious.
I'll just go back to Qu Manor. I will surely bring her back unharmed.
- Then, I'll go with you. - 14th Prince,
as a prince, if you recklessly go to Qu Manor just to save a maidservant,
they will surely say that you don't have a justifiable reason.
Don't worry. With my intelligence, I will surely bring her back here.
All right.
Lad, have you left all the proper instructions?
I've already bid Royal Father farewell.
As for the Prince, I've already told him about
what might happen in the future, so he can guard against them.
Right now, I just want to leave Dong Yue
and live a stable life with Tan'er forever.
Why isn't that girl here yet?
Currently, it's Zi time (11 pm to 1 am). Based on the time that you arrived here,
this strange phenomenon might continue for 2 hours.
If you miss leaving on time when the passageway is open,
you will lose the chance to go back.
Jing Xin! Jing Xin!
Jing Xin!
Jing Xin, wake up.
Old Man Qu, what did she do
to make you treat her like this?
What right do you have to drag her here?
Qu Tan'er, why are you so agitated?
Jing Xin missed the Qu Manor,
so she came back by herself.
Earlier, she just went overboard with playing around
with these servants that she hasn't seen for a long time.
Hence, she ended up in that state.
Bullshit! You think I'm a 4-year-old child?
Let me tell you that you're committing a crime.
You both are completely out of your minds.
I'm going to find the best lawyer and make you guys go to jail!
I'm going to sue you both! I'm going to reveal your evil deeds on Weibo!
Let you be like two rats crossing the street, getting beaten up by everyone!
- Jing Xin, you're awake? - Xiao Tan.
Let's go.
Drink your tea.
Let me tell you that for this debt of bullying Jing Xin today,
I would surely have you two pay it back with interest!
Quickly leave! The strange celestial phenomenon will be disappearing soon.
If you still don't leave then you'll die in Dong Yue.
Elder, let's wait a bit more.
She must have been delayed by some matters. She will surely come.
I promised Tan'er that in this lifetime,
I wouldn't leave her.
If heaven has affection, it will easily grow old.
If a human has affection,
he will die early.
