You are a mark of memory.
Love comes quietly.
I paint you without knowing.
You are a diary in my heart.
Sometimes, it can be casual.
Sometimes, every word is remembered clearly.
I search to meet you by chance.
I'm most willing to lose to you.
Your love is irreplaceable.
Untie all the knots in your mind. Tell me.
This dream finally ends now.
This moment is when
the fragrance of flowers pervades the sky.
The air seems to deliver electric shocks.
The faces look elated.
Waiting as the wind blows over.
Love arrives. The whole season
believes in the fable of happiness.
Until the end.
Tomorrow is going to be wonderful.

Shen Dieyi.
You're so stupid.
I don't care if you tell me the truth.
What I really care is that
you are not willing to tell me the secret in your heart.
Whatever.
I just consider it as an excuse.
Dieyi.
I just hope you and I can graduate successfully
and live together forever.
Zi'an, I have told you that
I've given the books back to Book Depository for you.
What are you searching for?
I have searched Book Depository
Why are you so upset?
It's just a book.
Is it that important?
It's not the book that is important.
It's the thing inside it.
Here are all bamboo strips and ancient books.
Why are the notes with officials' names on them seen here?
Could it be connected with the corruption case?
It's not about the art of war
but about swordsmanship.
= Zhang Yu =
Yang's Mansion
The fire set to Book Depository is very suspicious.
Lord Zhang's name is on this piece of paper.
What's it all about?
Lord.
The horses and carriage are ready.
I've never seen this guard before.
Where is father going?
Why is there a secret room hidden inside the study?
This is new bad money.
You are still so punctual.
What do you want from me?
In light of what has happened,
you and I had better be honest with each other.
Do you remember this place?
Absolutely.
This is where the former crown prince used to hang around.
How could I forget?
You are already the prime minister
who is under His Majesty but over thousands of people.
You became what you are by betraying your master.
Do you feel fidgeted about that?
Otherwise you wouldn't be amassing huge wealth
to make preparations for the unexpected.
You're afraid of
repeating the mistakes of your former master.
You asked me out to be here
just to talk to me about the history?
No.
I want to remind you that
we haven't
finished our deal.
Why did you
close all of your
bad money workshops?
The situation is too dangerous now.
It's better to stop doing it.
I'm afraid
you don't have the right to call the shots.
What do you mean?
That year, you were ordered to hunt down the confederates of the former crown prince.
In order to please the new master,
you spared no efforts
to kill people.
Disperse and get her.
Yes.
Come on.
Go!
Come on.
She is over there.
Get her.
Come on.
Get her.
If His Majesty knows
one of his trusted courtiers
got high rank and great wealth
by cheating him,
do you know what
His Majesty would do to you,
to Yang's family
and to your beloved son?
Nonsense.
When did I betray His Majesty?
That Sinan pendant
somehow
got scraped by a sword.
What a pity!
Lord Yang.
You have followed Crown Prince for several years,
so please don't hurt the unborn baby.
Since Crown Prince is dead.
we won't pose any threat to him.
Please.
Please let me go.
Please.
The rebel has been killed.
What Sinan pendant?
What are you talking about?
No matter whether or not
you really understand what I'm saying,
bad money making cannot be stopped at any moment.
You need to weigh
the pros and cons yourself.
What a place
to look back on the past!
The past
is like the fleeting clouds.
Something
is unforgettable.
The situation is changing so quickly
that I cannot see what lies ahead of me.
Your Highness,
You are the person walking in front.
You don't know where the road leads to
because
wherever you go
the road is out there ahead of you.
The reason why
I serve you
as a path-breaker
is that I hope people around the country
to recognize my contributions
to the prosperity created by you.
Hopefully, you can help me achieve my goal.
I'm also willing to
risk death to serve you.
No wonder people always call me a lonely man.
If the success is achieved
at the cost of my close relatives and intimate friends,
I don't want to have this success.
All I want is a prosperous nation
with people living happy lives.
It doesn't matter
who will be the emperor.
The old bad money was
destroyed by the government.
This new bad money
has never been seen before.
Why does my father have it?
My lord, you are back.
Make me a cup of tea.
Yes, sir.
Father, you're back.
An'er.
Why do you come back home today?
Because I have no classes at Shangyi School today,
I come back to see you.
Father, where have you been?
Why do you look upset?
I made an inspection tour around the Ministry of War with Minister Han.
I tried to trick him into telling me the truth.
Then what did you get from him?
The lips of this Lord Han are sealed.
I didn't get anything out of him.
It's time
to go back to Shangyi School.
Wait.
How are you getting along with Xv'er at Shangyi School?
You two are brothers.
Don't harm the ties of brotherhood
because of some trivial things.
Yes.
I know.
Why was there some red mud on his shoes?
Why did my father
conceal his whereabouts from me?
It's about the bad money case.
His Majesty attaches great importance to that case.
Tell me the details.
The case involves officials of the court.
Then
what did you get from him?
The lips of this Lord Han are sealed.
I didn't get anything out of him.
And that person.
Who on earth is that man?
Do you mean
Lord Han?
You forget me.
Does he?
It's impossible.
Father is not that type of person.
I just hope
father didn't get involved in it.
You said it yesterday evening.
Did I?
Mr. Yang.
I have a question for you.
In this book...
Mr. Yang.
Why didn't Mr. Yang talk to me?
He looks upset.
Perhaps there is something wrong.
About bribing Zhang Yu,
how is it going?
Lord,
Zhang Yu accepted the money.
But he sent someone to stalk me for a while.
What?
Don't worry, Lord.
I took a detour and got rid of the stalker.
No clues were left concerning you and Ningxiang Pavilion.
Be careful next time.
Is bad money being rushed out?
The production has stepped up.
The delivery will be on time.
Okay.
Now everything is ready
except...
...the help from an old friend.
The amount of bad money is big.
It must have something to do
with the corruption case in the court.
His Majesty trusted me
and sent me to investigate the case in private.
Now I've found that
my father has the new bad money.
If he was investigating the previous case,
why did he tell me there was no clue?
Maybe he also got orders from His Majesty.
So he concealed it from me.
No.
His majesty told me many times
that there are officials in the court involved in it.
To avoid suspicion,
His Majesty asked me to investigate it in private.
Bad money in circulation.
Children are being kidnapped.
Corruption and collusion.
Do all these
have anything to do with father?
Do you know that
Yang Zi'an asked for leave today?
He is always the most diligent.
It's strange that he should ask for leave.
I heard he had a cold last night.
I saw him alone by the lake yesterday.
He was at a loss.
He didn't come back until midnight.
I think he might have got upset about something
and stayed by the lake until midnight.
I've no idea.
He came back this morning with a fever.
No wonder he doesn't come to class.
Yang Zi'an is ill?
It's said he caught a cold
and had a fever.
Dieyi.
If you're worried about him,
why don't we go to see him
after school?
You go to see him.
But I won't.
Shen Dieyi.
You said you were not angry.
I am not angry.
Okay.
Stop arguing anymore.
Don't talk nonsense.
Greetings, Doctor.
Sit down, please.
Class begins.
Dieyi.
After class,
you can tell me something about Zi'an and you.
I can give you some advice.
You?
Yes!
I grew up with many girls around me.
I know everything about puppy love.
Tang Jiuhua.
Doc...
Doctor.
What are you talking about?
Doctor.
I was saying that you are a good teacher.
Then repeat what I was saying just now.
Dugu.
What is as sweet as love in the world?
It's all about romantic heartbreaks.
What?
What are you talking about?
You're talking nonsense in class.
You must copy Tao Te Ching three hundred times today.
I don't want to...
Dugu Muxue.
What's on your mind?
Nothing.
Mr. Yang just caught a cold.
The fever is gone now.
He is having a rest and will be fine in a few days.
Thanks a lot.
Mr. Bai.
Is Zi'an asleep?
We want to go inside and see him.
What are you doing?
Mr. Dugu.
Mr. Yang said
he didn't want to see anyone.
Why?
I've no idea.
He just asked me to tell you
he didn't want to see anyone.
We come here to see him with good intentions,
but are not even allowed to go inside.
Dugu.
Zi'an is now a patient.
He really needs some rest.
Yes.
He is a patient.
Okay.
It doesn't matter.
We're leaving.
They're gone.
Thanks a lot.
Why didn't you meet them?
= Yang's Mansion =
Come on in.
An'er.
Father.
It's pitch-black.
Are you writing with
Li Ting ink?
An'er.
You have an eye for it.
Father, you live a simple and frugal life.
Only on paper and ink
are you willing to spend much money.
I like nothing else
in my life
except writing and painting.
If he really has something to do with the bad money case,
I'd alert him
when I ask him about it.
It's better to try some questions first
and make further decisions.
Father.
An'er, do you have anything to say?
I wanted you to investigate Ningxiang Pavilion.
Is that in progress?
I have asked someone
to check Ningxiang Pavilion's accounts.
No problem was found.
The accounts?
If you think Ningxiang Pavilion was involved in
these two cases,
what was its role in them?
It provided manpower for the bad money workshops
and functioned as a hiding place
for the kidnapped children.
They did whatever they wanted to do.
They must have someone backing them up.
What else do they have to need?
Money.
They need to pay huge initial costs.
I am working on it.
I am in the right direction.
Well.
Let's talk about something else.
I heard that
you would have a graduation test at Shangyi School.
Yes.
You should make full preparations for that
and do your best to get a good grade.
I know.
Why did you write the character "Worry" ?
I got no knowledge of worry when I was young.
Now, as I grow old, I start to know that life is laden with difficulties.
I've been cautious throughout my life.
I do everything on my own.
Recently I feel it difficult
to do many things.
You've been cautious throughout your life.
Have you made any mistake?
Mistake?
Yes.
I don't have enough time to take care of you and Xv'er,
which makes the two of you not get along well with each other.
It's my fault.
If you ever did something wrong,
remember to correct it.
Otherwise you'd make a bigger one.
Are you blaming me?
I hardly ever blame you.
I have realized that
I've done something wrong.
But it's too late.
You don't look well today.
You might be too tired preparing for the test.
Go back and have some rest.
Thanks, father.
See you.
Okay.
= Zhang's Mansion =
Zi'an.
Zi'an, are you asleep?
May I come in?
Yang Zi'an.
It's very clear that you don't want to see me.
Dieyi.
It's not that I don't want to see you.
It's that I am upset right now.
If my father was not involved,
as his son,
it's not moral of me
to suspect him.
It's no good.
But if my father was really involved in it,
how can I face him
and myself?
Since you've got the money,
why are you still investigating the bad money case?
Lord Han failed to win over me many times.
I'm afraid he had started to suspect me.
I accepted your money
in order to see what you're actually up to
by producing bad money.
Lord Han sees me as an eyesore.
It has been discovered by him.
So I'm doomed.
But you were so bold
as to kill such an upright official
as Censor Tu.
I think you were involuntarily forced to do this,
otherwise you would not become a killer
at such a young age.
I'm just doing my job.
So don't make it hard for me.
To save your own life,
you'd better accept the banknotes.
Even though you are not afraid to die,
you should consider
dozens of lives of your family.
By killing me,
you can keep this secret.
But if you hurt my family,
it would get worse
and attract His Majesty's attention.
Your secrets would get out
in broad daylight.
I've been in office here for four year.
I can face the heaven
and the people with a clear conscience.
If the heaven had spirit, he'd believe me.
That I was clean when I came here
And I am also clean when I leave.
Why?
Why have I become such kind of person?
Rou.
It's you.
I have said that
Rou was dead.
Why is it like this?
What have you gone through in all these years?
Please tell me.
I can help you.
You can help me?
No one can help me.
Since the day when I was taken away,
we have lived different lives.
It's just an accident that we meet each other now.
What you can do is
either you bring me to justice
or we forget and never meet each other again.
Keep in your mind that Rou during your childhood
and forget this Ning Xiang before you.
Rou.
I went to find you all the way from deserts in the north
down to the south.
My only hope is to find you.
Now I find you.
Do you think that I will let you go?
Today I'm just Ning Xiang.
If you keep messing around,
this time there'd be no way out.
Rou.
Excuse me.
Mr. Shen.
It's late. What are you doing here?
I'm hungry.
I want to make something to eat.
Could you please make it available for me?
No problem.
Since last time I saw your fantastic cooking skill,
I started to admire you.
And I wanted to learn from you.
You're flattering me.
I promise you that one day we'll exchange views about cooking.
Really?
Yes!
Here's the key.
Thanks.
Don't forget to lock the door.
I won't.
Don't worry.
See you.
Tangtang is right.
If two people are both not willing to compromise
or explain to each other,
they'd end up in misunderstanding and breaking up.
This stinky tofu.
You won't get rid of me.
He said that I ruined his life.
Then I have to be responsible for him to the end.
Even if it would really ruin his life,
I wouldn't let him go easily.
Zi'an.
It's Dieyi.
Are you asleep?
I cooked noodles for you.
I know you're sick
and don't want to eat.
But you have to eat something.
You don't speak to me.
I take it that you are not angry.
I'm coming in.
Zi'an.
Are you feeling better?
I'm fine.
I cooked you some noodles.
Why don't you have some?
I have no appetite.
If there's anything on your mind,
you can tell me.
I...
I don't know how to say it?
If so, is it okay that
I ask you questions and you answer me?
The other day I hurt my hand when practicing swordsmanship.
You got upset with me because you were worried about me,
right?
I didn't tell you the reason
why I was so desperate to be the first and enter the palace.
You thought that I intentionally concealed it from you.
So you felt unhappy about that, right?
I told the important secret
to Tangtang instead of you.
You felt in my heart
Tangtang was more important than you, right?
You don't speak. I take it as acquiescence.
And the other day,
you weirdly said that I am a girl.
This is also because you were upset with me.
And you were blaming me for not trusting you.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
But it's not because of this.
No wonder
that you were so upset.
I've been thinking about that for so many days.
and didn't get an answer.
Dieyi.
I'm really not...
There's no need to do this.
You haven't talked with me for days.
You are still ill.
Why don't you eat something?
You stinky tofu,
Tangtang is my good friend.
You are both very important to me.
For an orphan like me
with no parents and relatives here,
I can only trust you.
But in my mind,
you are a little bit different from them.
You...
You are my...
What
did you say just now?
The noodles are getting cold.
Why don't you have it now?
What on earth is going on?
What do you mean?
Since you have told me everything,
I am going back to sleep.
What are you doing?
You said that
you were an orphan with no parents.
What else are you trying to hide from me?
Give me the bun.
Let go of me.
I am not real Shen Dieyi.
Starting today, I'll teach you
how to write your own name.
Let me see.
Give it back to me.
Chang'an is a long way from here.
After you arrive at Chang'an,
let Mr. Tang arrange everything for you.
Good girl.
Thank you.
I promised Lord Shen and Tangtang
to discover the origin of Dieyi.
As a powerless ordinary person like me,
Shangyi School is the only way to get into the palace.
So you are desperate to go into the palace
just for Shen Dieyi?
Do you remember my Sinan pendant?
Actually Dieyi
is not the real daughter of Lord Shen.
This Sinan pendant was left to her by her mother.
It's said that it belongs to the royal family
and it contains the information about her origin,
which is also her last wish.
So only by going into the palace
can I find out the origin of Sinan pendant.
That's why you practice swordsmanship so hard.
You want to get the first.
Only by getting the first
can I get into the palace.
I cannot miss this chance.
Zi'an.
Maybe you find it hard to accept what I'm saying.
But if you still believe me,
I'll always stand by your side.
Dieyi.
Tangtang.
I'm a little sleepy.
I have to go to bed.
Wait a second.
I want to ask you
how you are getting along with Yang Zi'an.
Did you make up with each other?
I can't believe this.
You offered to make up with him.
But he was still upset about you?
I can't bear it.
Come on.
Let me reason with him for you.
Tangtang.
Don't do that.
Why?
Every day,
you are thinking of this stinky tofu.
You almost become a stinky tofu yourself.
See.
After I mention him,
you are at a loss.
Tangtang, it's not because of this.
Then what is the reason?
Did you
fall in love with other people?
I'm sorry.
Why do you say sorry to me?
You should say sorry
to him.
I'm truly sorry.
Dieyi, don't be like this.
What has actually happened?
I told everything to Zi'an.
What?
He now knows everything
about Dieyi.
Sorry.
That night by Redleaf Lake,
you promised me that
you would keep it as a secret forever.
It's not for Dieyi's sake,
but rather for your own safety.
Now you just told everything to Yang Zi'an
regardless of all other things.
Tangtang.
Do you remember the day
when you got to know my real identity?
You got very sad
and very disappointed with me.
Because I told a lie and pretended to be someone else to get married.
I made you think that Dieyi was still alive.
I pretended to be a man and tricked everyone at Shangyi School.
I also made everyone worry about me.
But I was always thinking about
how to lie to you.
I'm so tired.
Sorry.
It never occurred to me that
you have suffered so much for such a long time.
You don't let me talk about Sinan pendant
not only because you want to discover Dieyi's origin,
but because you want to protect me as well.
But if I harm the feeling of the person I'm concerned with
due to my lies,
I couldn't bear to lie anymore.
I really don't want to lose the trust
of any of you.
Dieyi, I broke your dad's favorite vase
by accident.
Why did you say that it was stolen?
We cannot lie.
I didn't mean to lie.
That's my dad's favorite vase.
If it was really broken,
dad would be very sad.
There are white lies and bad lies.
If you want to protect someone you care about,
a little white lie is excusable.
What if Uncle Shen finds out the truth one day?
Are you going to keep lying to him?
If the cat is out of the bag,
I would face it.
If I still keep lying,
I would hurt the people I care about.
Dieyi.
Is that
what you want to tell me?
= Ningxiang Pavilion =
Is Zhang Yu dead?
Your Highness, you don't have to be nervous.
I've sent someone to take care of it.
It won't have anything to do with us.
Lord Han.
About the thing you told me last time.
Is it too fast?
I am not ready for it.
Your Highness, you don't have to get ready for it.
All of the officials on the list
accepted the money
except Zhang Yu
who's already dead.
Besides, time waits for no man,
Your Highness.
Second Prince is about to graduate,
which is sort of like letting the tiger return to the mountains.
He's made friends with many people, including Yang Zi'an.
These people have made great contributions to the country
and have gained wide popularity among people.
They are even dubbed "The Five Scholars of Shangyi School" .
They
will be a hindrance
to Your Highness later on.
What you mean is that...
If they aren't willing to work for us,
they should be eliminated.
Is this what she made for you?
She has never cared about me like this before.
Is all that she said
real?
Do you believe her?
Yes.
Then why do you ask me this question?
I just can't accept the fact that
she lied to me
and the fact that
she didn't trust me.
If she didn't trust you,
why did she tell you all this?
She tried to keep her promise to me.
Meanwhile, she had to bear your misunderstanding.
It's really too much for her.
Her promise to you?
I asked her not
to tell other people about this.
Since she has told you everything,
I don't want to conceal it from you.
When I got to know that she was Yiyi
instead of Dieyi,
I couldn't accept it, too.
But later I came to realize that
it's she who
accompanies me
to study at Shangyi School.
It's she who accompanies me to get to know you,
to step onto the battlefield,
to face the choice between life and death,
and to experience four years of ups and downs together.
As an old saying goes,
the past cannot be experienced again,
but the future can be pursued.
If Dieyi were still alive,
she wouldn't hope that
I indulge in the memory of her.
What's more, Dieyi's wish has not been fulfilled.
We still have a lot to do.
Is it
about her origin?
Yiyi
really cares about you.
So she told you everything.
It's all because she doesn't want you
to suspect her due to these reasons.
I hope you could understand her pains.
For the sake of her
and her family,
don't cause any more trouble.
I know.
You'd better have the noodles
before it gets cold.
Miss Han!
I can't accept your love.
I have had a crush on someone else.
Who is she?
The person I love
is him.
You stinky tofu,
skunk.
All you do is scold me.
Can't you see that
I like you?
I have confidence in defeating you,
but I tend to lose to you.
Does this mean...
Graduation is just around the corner.
You will soon have the graduation test
as a way
to assess your performance at Shangyi School.
The date of the test
will be announced lately.
Hopefully,
everyone will make good preparations for it.
Now school is over.
Thank you, Doctor.
I can't believe this.
There'll be a graduation test.
What will be in the test?
Who knows?
The test might be difficult.
If I fail in the test,
I will not graduate.
Wouldn't it be good to
directly graduate from here?
It sucks.
Bai.
You're so lazy.
If you cannot graduate,
you know what your father will do to you.
It's impossible.
Bai.
You don't have to worry.
Doctor said
the graduation test aims to assess
our performance at Shangyi School.
So it won't be too difficult.
You can make it if you review the lessons carefully.
I try to make myself believe that
there would still be a long time before our graduation.
Now I know that
we don't have much time
being together.
Everyone listen to me,
it's a great honor
for me to know you all
at Shangyi School.

Look back at that day.
Memories slip through time.
Caress your face in the air.
For a moment,
it's partly visible.
Thinking about you day and night.
Many scenes
come to mind.
Time stops.
Hard to sleep.
How I wish to tell.
From the day I met you,
my world has been all about you.
Maybe
every time we pass by each other,
we do it because destiny says so.
How to bury the past between me and you?
How I wish to tell.
From the day I met you,
my world has been all about you.
The figure
blurs in the wind.
The smile is flowery.
Right now, all I want to say is
I love you.
