I beg you to tell me... we...

we...

How did we meet each other?

After that, how did we get to know one another? And then how did we pledge our love?

Please. Please tell me.

"It's better to not meet than meeting like this." (T/N: Reference to a poem from Song dynasty)

"It's better to not meet than meeting like this."

"It's better to not love than loving like this."

Elder Brother Hanwen. Han...

Brother Hanwen...

[Depository of Scriptures]

Stinky Monk, for the sake of going against me, you...

sat in front of the Scriptures Depository for a whole night.

Are you insane?

I do not want to fight with you, but to enlighten you.

- You're half immortal- - Stop there!

I don't want to hear these two words anymore.

Ever since you started mentioning these two words, I started to become extremely unlucky.

Stinky Monk, listen to me carefully.

I don't want to become an immortal. I want to become a demon.

Understand?

Amitabha.

You are fated with the immortals; how can you be so unbridled?

I absolutely won't allow you to go astray.

Since you haven't realized it already,

then continue to copy the scriptures here.

I was thinking all night last night.

In this world, how can there be someone who regards copying scriptures as pleasure?

Monk. In fact, you simply don't understand what pleasure in life really is, right?

All of the pleasures in the world originate from altruism.

All of the sufferings in the world

originate from selfishness.

Sorrows and happiness are merely wild thoughts from the heart.

You are reciting the scriptures again.

Look like you don't really understand.

Monk, I'm most adept at the code of brotherhood.

Since you spent so much effort just to help me,

how about I pay you back in return?

How about I take you somewhere to experience the pleasure in life?

What pleasure in life? A bunch of nonsense.

Look at you... You claim to be flexible, yet you look down on everything.

You don't know what the mortal world is, yet you preposterously want to lead people out of it?

Don't you feel it's ridiculous?

Let's go. I'll bring you to have a little taste of the pleasure in life.

It's much better than you cultivating profundities here by yourself. Let's go.

Listen to me. Dig out the entire medicinal herb garden and change it into a peony garden. It's more joyful to the eyes.

A few of you come with me in here.

Have that... that painting tore down.

Throw it away. Also, this one.

Also, remove this plant. I don't want it anymore.

Hey, you guys, this side. Tear up what needs to be torn, throw away what needs to be tossed.

- So old. - Take that one down, careful.

Stop!

Elder Brother Hanwen.

Who allowed you guys to touch my things?

I'm the one who allowed them to do it.

Leave us.

Ruyi invited a Fengshui master here.

He said that things have not been going smoothly for you

because your room is badly arranged.

Ruyi and I had a discussion about this.

We want to rearrange your room

so that you don't recall-

so that you can live here peacefully.

That's right, Brother Hanwen. The things in your room are broken.

They look very old.

They don't need to be changed.

Now that it's different, I feel uncomfortable looking at it.

Hanwen,

in a few days, you and Ruyi will be married.

The Fengshui master said that this room must be arranged anew

so that there is peace in the house.

Previously-

Your previous marriage was kept simple. Nothing was specially arranged.

And that's why so many things happened.

You look at Ruyi.

Because she was taking care of you every night and day,

she wasn't able to arrange her wedding jewelry and robes.

You mustn't mistreat your bride-to-be like this.

Sister, don't blame it on Brother Hanwen. I don't need anything.

As long as I can marry Brother Hanwen, I will be content.

Silly girl. How can a bride

not have her head ornaments?

It's good that Hanwen has been feeling better these days.

Have him take a walk outside with you when he's free. If you see anything that you like,

go ahead and buy it.

Sister, I have some words to say to you alone.

Go out for a walk with Ruyi. We'll speak later.

[Cassia Wine]

When you said you would take me to see the mortal world, you meant here to get drunk?

Be satisfied. You and I are not even fated to be drinking buddies.

I'm already showing you a lot of respect by bringing you here for a drink.

Ridiculous.

Don't go.

Don't go!

Have you heard of this? "Heaven and Earth can be found in wine."

"The Sun and Moon can be found in a bottle."

The matters of the world that you wish to know can be found in top grade wine.

I've only heard that wine can put a man in disarray.

- Brother... - Chief... six-six-six...

Let's drink!

You take a guess... What are they crying, laughing, yelling, and singing?

You don't know, right?

If you want to save all living creatures, then you need to understand them.

Why are they sorrowful? Why are they happy? Right?

If you want to drag me back to recite scriptures,

you need to give me an answer first.

Think about it slowly. I bid you farewell first, then.

Brother Hanwen, the Perfect Treasures Pavilion is in front of us.

I heard that they'd recently stocked a lot of new jewelry and ornaments.

Let's go take a look.

Brother Hanwen.

Ruyi, I asked you to come out because there's something I want to discuss with you.

We don't need to discuss it.

A married woman should listen to her husband. Ruyi will listen to Brother Hanwen.

Ruyi, I can't marry you.

In my eyes, I've always regarded you as my younger sister.

There's no romantic love between us.

So what?

Marriages are arranged by parents' orders and a matchmaker's word.

Sister Xu has also already agreed to our marriage.

Now that the invitations have been sent,

how can we just cancel the wedding? You can't dismiss this so lightly.

Even if all of the marriages in this world are like this, I don't want it this way.

If two people do not have mutual feelings for each other,

how can they last?

Ruyi, I do not take this lightly.

If we get married blindly, then that would really be taking marriage lightly.

Ruyi, as long as you're willing to rescind-

I won't!

I won't.

Brother Hanwen, you just went through a catastrophe, so your emotions are volatile.

It's difficult for you to avoid saying silly things.

If you don't want to accompany me to the Perfect Treasures Pavilion,

then I'll go there alone to pick out jewelry for the wedding day.

If your body is not feeling well, making it impossible for you to make wedding arrangements,

just leave it to Sister Xu and me.

- Ruyi! - I'm going to pick my head ornaments. We'll discuss this later.

Ruyi!

I definitely came out to look for Xiao Qing. Why did I end up here?

Madam! Madam, you're here to pick some head ornaments again?

You recognize me?

Madam, do you not remember?

That day, you and your husband purchased our most meticulously and finely crafted

butterfly silver phoenix hairpin.

Your husband even instructed us to keep it from you.

He said he wanted to give you a surprise when you got home.

You two had such a wonderful relationship.

It really makes people envious to see it.

Come, come. A new batch of head ornaments arrived recently.

Come take a look.

Look at this. This would really suit you.

Did you come here alone today?

Shopkeeper!

Shopkeeper, I'll take a look.

Do you have any couple ornaments that look cheerful when worn?

You must be looking for some ornaments for a wedding day.

Our shop just happens to have a set of dragon and phoenix ornaments. I'll bring them out for you.

All right.

Come, come, come.

Looks so good.

What a coincidence,

to meet Sister Bai here.

Brother Hanwen and I are getting married in half a month.

If you have nothing to do, come over to our wedding banquet.

Ruyi!

- Miss Bai? - Brother Hanwen, does this look good? I think this one is really pretty.

Miss Bai!

Wrap it up.

Sure.

Boatman! Boatman, please wait.

It's raining heavily, can I use your boat to hide from the rain?

A rainy day is a day for holding customers.

Miss, how about we wait for awhile?

Allow this mister to hide from the rain.

- Thank you. - Come this way, mister.

- You... - You...

Is your headache still coming often?

Whenever I think about the past, it will hurt unbearably.

Don't think about the past anymore.

I haven't congratulated you.

I'll use tea in place of wine to wish you and Ruyi-

Miss Bai, I'm going to talk to you about this. Ruyi and I-

Matters between you and her shouldn't be told to me, an outsider.

Miss Bai, why are you always pushing me away?

If our previous relationship was as you said,

like strangers, then why would I think of you when I see West Lake?

Why would I also think of you when I see the Broken Bridge?

Even when I read a book, look at a painting,

a lantern, your image will appear in my mind.

Miss Bai, I beg you to tell me. What have I really forgotten?

What kind of predestined relationship have we missed out on before?

Today's rain,

the cup of tea inside this cabin,

meeting by chance, fallen petals carried away by flowing water...

they will leave no trace by tomorrow.

That's our previous relationship.

Mister Xu, please respect yourself.

Don't let a previous relationship ruin your wedding day.

The rain has stopped. I'll leave first.

Miss Bai!

Stinky Girl, let me see who'll save you this time. Stop right there!

Brother Hanwen! Brother Hanwen!

- Miss Bai. - Brother Hanwen!

Xiao Qing, let's go.

Bai Suzhen!

Why are you always tangling with Brother Hanwen? Don't think I don't know who you are.

If you have the ability, then let Brother Hanwen know that you're actually a...

Ruyi.

Ruyi.

Miss Ruyi, let's have a private chat. Let me help you with what was bothering you.

- Miss Bai - Don't go there. Don't go.

You're that snake!

Even if I'm not here,

Brother Hanwen still won't marry you. He certainly wouldn't marry a demon.

I really want to see what happens after he knows of your true form.

Jin Ruyi, you first gifted me an anti-demon talisman, so I was separated from My Lord.

Then you fed him Spirit Capturing Powder,

making him sick beyond cure. Do you really think that I don't dare to touch you?

What do you want to do?

I have the Spirit Capturing Powder. I can make Brother Hanwen so sick that he won't be able to get up.

Each day that you won't let go,

Brother Hanwen will suffer one more day. Don't be so selfish, all right?

Selfish?

Because of your selfishness, you've poisoned My Lord again and again.

Do you really think that this bit of difficulty can force me to withdraw?

You wouldn't be thinking that I left My Lord because I was afraid of you?

What do you intend to do?

Do you know why humans are afraid of demons?

Have you heard stories about how demons eat humans?

Miss Xiao Qing, what in the world do you want to do?

Are you so worried about your junior sister that you want to go over there so eagerly?

That's not it. I want to ask you about Miss Bai-

No comment!

- But- - No buts!

Then, Miss Bai, she-

Can you still shamelessly call her "Miss Bai, Miss Bai"?

You disloyal and fickle person!

Do you know that for the sake of saving you, my older sister,

even her thousand-year...

I'm not wasting words on a worthless guy.

In any case, you and my sister have separated and are no longer related.

Please stop bothering her.

Or else next time when I see you, I won't be this polite.

If you kill me now, Brother Hanwen will hate you for life!

Then let's try it.

Let's see if he'll forgive me after I kill you.

Don't kill me. I was wrong! I know I was wrong!

Listen well.

I didn't kill you, not because I don't dare to touch you.

Rather, it's because I'm afraid that My Lord will be sad.

Considering that your feelings towards him are sincere,

I won't kill you for now. But if in the future,

you dare to treat him improperly in the slightest, I'll return to take your life.

If you violate my words, you'll be like this wood.

Brother Hanwen!

Brother Hanwen! Brother Hanwen!

- Xiao... - Brother Hanwen!

What's the matter, Ruyi?

Let's go home, all right?

Hanwen, the auspicious hour has almost passed. Why haven't you changed?

Elder Sister, I already said before, I won't marry Ruyi.

What kind of silly words are you saying? When you were badly ill, Ruyi took care of you day and night.

She was looking for medicines everywhere, and even marrying you in hope that the joyous occasion would ward off death.

Only because of that are you able to safely and peacefully stand here. She's our family's benefactor.

Hanwen, you know Ruyi's temper.

Last time, when you said that you wanted to cancel the marriage, she nearly jumped into the well.

And now... if you don't marry her now, aren't you forcing her to death?

- Our family can't be this kind of ungrateful people. - Older Sister!

There are so many ways to repay a debt of gratitude, why must I marry her?

If I marry her, but can't give her any love or happiness, then how's that different from repaying gratitude with enmity?

You... fine.

I won't talk to you about that. Go change into a groom's outfit immediately to greet the bride!

If not... If not, don't call me your sister anymore!

People hear the marriage couple's laughter. Who hears the ex-lover's cries?

Elder Sister is sorrowful, yet he's taking a wife at this festive scene.

You wish!

Brother Hanwen!

Ruyi, come!

Brother Hanwen, you came?

This storm is too big. Let's go back, first.

Furthermore, I'll explain to everyone. This is all my fault.

How can you be so silly? This is our big joyful day.

Where would you have me go?

Ruyi, you're being silly. I already told you that I can't marry anyone else.

Don't continue to be so willful.

All of the guests are anxiously waiting. If you won't go through the ceremony,

then I, then I... then I'll just get a rooster to go through the ceremony in your place.

I've already entered the Xu family's bridal carriage, so I'm already a member of the Xu family.

Change your clothes and get on the horse. Don't delay any further.

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

This storm came on too suddenly.

Stinky Monk, you came to ruin my plans again, right?

Evildoer...you fail to learn despite being taught repeatedly. Today, I absolutely won't hold back.

I merely want to teach him a lesson, that's all. Why must you press so hard?

Tell me. What in the world should we do?

What should we do about this?

You go.

Go, go.

Where's Xiao Qing? How come I don't see her?

- Sleeping! - Shopping!

Where did she actually go?

- Shopping! - Sleeping!

Stop talking!

Has she gone to make trouble at Hanwen's place?

- Miss Bai! - Miss Bai!

Really! The two of you!

Brother Bao, make some calculations.

That's right!

How is it?

I'm begging you! Stop making a ruckus. I have always told you...

Brother Hanwen, I want to go into the bridal carriage.

Don't decide things on your own, okay?

I told you before that it's not possible. Stop making a scene.

Hanwen! Hanwen, what's the matter? I saw that the weather wasn't right, so I came out to meet you.

You... Your clothes are all wet. Where is your groom's outfit?

Why haven't you changed into it?

♫ What a beautiful scenery the West Lake is ♫

♫ on a day in March! ♫

Brother Hanwen!

In this life, holding this hand, I willingly grow old together with you.

Together in life and death, not separating in old age.

Suzhen.

Suzhen!

Brother Hanwen, you can't leave! What am I to do if you leave?

Don't you guys stop me!

Hanwen, listen to me. Everyone has seen Ruyi enter the bridal carriage.

What will Ruyi do if you leave now to find Suzhen?

Elder Sister. Ruyi. I'm sorry.

- Hanwen! - Brother Hanwen!

Suzhen!

Hanwen.

I've remembered everything.

I'm sorry. I should've remembered you earlier.

Is your head still hurting?

So what if it does? As long as I can remember you,

I'll gladly endure it even if my liver and organs were cut to pieces.

Suzhen, in this life, let's not separate again.

What are you doing?

Stinky Monk! Where are you taking me again?

You don't listen to advice and are actually killing people in the middle of a busy street.

I have to remove the demonic aura from you. Return with me to Jinshan Temple.

From today on, you'll cultivate at Jinshan Temple.

You're not blind, right? When did you see me kill?

I merely stirred up some wind. You're not speaking reasonably. With only that, you want to take me back to Jinshan Temple.

Don't you resort to sophistry. My Sounding Staff can detect killing intent that's why it chased after you.

If you remain thickheaded, don't blame me for being heartless. I'll immediately use this Purple Gold Bowl to capture you.

You're really coming?

Stop it!

This monk! Stop harming people!

What are you doing?

Save me! This monk wants to molest me!

Benefactor, this woman is not of the good kind. Please don't be confused by her.

Nonsense! You should be the one not of the good kind. If you dare touch her, I won't forgive you today.

Fahai.

All villagers, I have something to say.

In the recent past, I've suffered a severe bout of illness and have done a lot of stupid things.

Since I already have a good wife, Bai Suzhen, I absolutely can't take another wife.

Everything that happened here today is solely my fault

and has nothing to do with Miss Jin.

What silly things are you saying?

You've already separated from her. The person you want to marry is me.

That's correct, Hanwen. Marriage is serious, don't treat it as a game.

Let's go back home and talk it over properly.

Elder Sister, I have to say these words here.

Suzhen, she never turned her back on me.

I am the one who hurt her feelings and allowed her to leave.

I didn't protect her.

I allowed her to suffer.

If you are willing, I want to marry you again.

Ruyi, I am sorry.

Brother Hanwen, how about this? You also marry her.

I'll be your wife, and she'll be your concubine. Is that all right?

Suzhen, you've always been very understanding.

You wouldn't make a scene along with Hanwen, right?

Sister Xu, I've already decided.

In this life, I won't separate from Hanwen again.

It's all right, it's all right.

If you're willing to return to our Xu family, we'll also be very happy.

In the future, you and Ruyi can have the same status. She absolutely won't bully you, all right?

That's right, right, right. Two wives with equal status. We can both be wives.

Is that all right?

Ruyi, all my love

has been given to Suzhen alone.

There is no way I can share it with anyone else.

Everything that happened here today is my fault.

I have wronged you.

I am willing to do anything to compensate you.

The only exception being

that I cannot marry you.

That will hold you up and will also be disloyal to Suzhen.

Brother Hanwen, do you know who she is?

Do you all know what her true identity is?

- She is- - Of course, I know who she is!

For this lifetime, forever, she is

my one and only wife.

I will only be together with you.

We will never be apart.

All right.

What a great commitment to each other.

Then what am I? Why should I allow you to mistreat me?

Bai Suzhen, I want to kill you.

Blood!

Jin Ruyi!

Ruyi, how can you be this callous?

Ruyi, consider this stab as what I owe you.

If you still hate me, then take my life away.

But regardless, I will not leave Suzhen.

You are not willing to marry me even if you die. What do you take me for?

I promise! I will demand reparation for the shame I've experienced today.

If I break this promise, I will be like this hairpin.

Subtitles brought to you by The Legend of White Snake Team @ Viki.com

That Jin Ruyi did such a vicious thing.

My Lady, I'm fine.

You've been aggrieved during this time. If I was able to remember a bit earlier,

then I could've protected you and not allowed you to be saddened.

You also didn't want this to happen. I don't blame you.

My Lady, during this time, I have been groggy and confused.

I did many wrong things and was irresolute and indecisive.

I have only myself to blame for today's injury.

Fortunately, I was able to return to you; otherwise...

You're already injured like this, so don't talk.

My Lady, my injury is of no consequence.

But there's an extremely urgent matter that can't wait even for a moment.

This is the separation letter that I stole from Sister.

Where's your copy?

My Lady, we have to destroy them immediately.

If not, we won't legally be husband and wife, and I'd have to

call you "Madam Bai" like other people.

My Lady, one hundred years lifetime passes in the twinkling of an eye.

I am not afraid of Gods and Buddhas.

I am not afraid of swords and axes, but I'm afraid

of not being with you forever and growing old together.

Hanwen.

- Sister! - Don't get up.

Don't worry. I'm fine already.

You're fine? Do you know just how much you've scared your Sister?

Silly boy. If that hairpin moved just a bit deeper, it would have pierced your heart.

He wouldn't be afraid. At that time, he was only thinking of being the glorious hero who saves the beauty.

- How could he still remember that he had this Elder Sister? - It's all right.

Sister, everything's my fault. I was too reckless.

If you want to be angry, then beat me a few times to release your anger.

Stop joking. Your injury has just gotten better.

Beat you a few times? When has your sister ever beaten you?

If she really beats you, then she'll be the one whose heart aches.

If my sister's heart aches, then my brother-in-law's heart will ache even more.

Bullseye!

Where did you learn this kind of stupid talk? Don't call me "Sister" anymore.

Now that you've grown wings (think you're all grown up), you even dare break off marriages.

Sister,

I was wrong before. I forgot about Suzhen.

I hurt her heart. I was already wrong once.

I can't be wrong again.

Hanwen, I know that you feel that you've betrayed her.

I also know that she's more important than your own life.

But that's not how she thinks.

My Lady! My Lady, it's fine. Let's not say anymore.

Why can't I continue speaking?

I feel that it's not fair to Hanwen to protect her like that.

Elder Sister, you've misunderstood Suzhen.

She simply didn't abandon me.

That day, I brought realgar wine thinking of sharing it with Suzhen,

but I forgot to bring the anti-demon fragrance pouch, so I asked her to fetch one from Baohe Hall.

When I was in trouble, she simply wasn't at the scene.

Wasn't at the scene?

Moreover, when she left later, it was all to find the medicine to save me.

Elder Sister, you and Suzhen are both the most important people to me.

I don't want any misunderstanding between the two of you.

But when I misunderstood her, why didn't she explain herself?

Don't you know our sister-in-law's personality? When Hanwen was in trouble,

she couldn't blame herself enough. How could she still have the energy to explain things to us?

Then, let's take it as me misunderstanding her.

It's good that you two husband and wife have reconciled and love each other like before.

It's just that this time, Suzhen has greatly offended Ruyi.

My Lady, we've already offended her.

We just have to be understanding. If on that day, I was the same as our Hanwen,

lying on the bed. Oh my, here came the junior sister,

running everywhere day and night taking care of me.

If you came to do something, she would even criticize, "This is not right, that's not right."

She even said that she was my best partner.

For your sister at that time, it wouldn't be just offending or not.

It's a matter of...

This... Is this the same thing?

Hanwen, is it the same thing?

I feel that it's the same thing.

Elder Sister, don't be angry anymore.

Right now, out of misfortune will come good luck. The future will be smooth for sure.

I'll say the same thing again. Suzhen and I can take good care of Ruyi.

But in regards to Ruyi, we'll need to ask Elder Sister to keep an eye on her.

I don't want her to overthink.

What "out of misfortune will come good luck"?

Elder Sister, I feel that you're entering the fiery pit again.

What's so bitter?

This is medicinal food that I've prepared for My Lord; soup from stewed ginseng.

Why didn't you ask before putting it into your mouth?

Prepared it for him?

You're just going to forgive him like this?

If he wasn't that disloyal, you wouldn't have been so heartbroken.

I also wouldn't have been chased miserably by that monk.

Xiao Qing, in the recent past, it's all because My Lord lost his memory. It wasn't intentional.

Don't be angry at him for it.

Miss Xiao Qing ought to be angry.
