(Three years later, Spring, Year 24 of Chengping)

Pirates! Pirates!

Sir, I beg you, sir.

If you rob us, we're done for.

Song Mo!

It's a trap.

Speak.

Where is your base camp?

Song Mo,

you think you'll find the base

since you've caught me?

We, people of Dongyu, will never surrender!

Is it...

in Nanshan?

Tongzhou?

Jilang, Zhanshui, Coral Island?

Meizhou, Feiyudao,

or is it Boat Island?

It's Boat Island.

Song Mo.

You crook.

You won't get what you're after!

That was brilliant, sir.

We almost starved to death

because of that dirty grains transport officer.

- Thankfully, you baited them. - That's enough.

- Lu Ming. - You lured the pirates here...

- Stop talking. - And we finally get to eat.

That's enough. On your knees.

Sir, my brother is new.

He didn't know that the officer is your father, Duke of Ying.

We beg for your forgiveness.

I understand the anger after starving for so long.

I would be too.

It's nothing.

Just go ahead.

Fortunately, it didn't ruin your plan.

We got rid of five pirate ships.

That's a job well done.

Just five boats is nothing.

Listen up, Ding Army!

Here!

Everyone, dig in.

In 10 minutes,

we will put on the pirates' clothing and head for Boat Island.

To safeguard Futing's peace,

we will carve our names in history.

Safeguard the country! Carve our names in history!

Safeguard the country! Carve our names in history!

=Blossom=

(Adapted from the novel "Blossom" by Zhi Zhi)

=Episode 3=

(Futing)

Come, quick!

The Ding Army will be victorious!

It's the Ding Army!

The Ding Army has returned!

- Come look! - The Ding Army has returned!

The Ding Army is back.

The Ding Army is back!

Did you win the battle?

Yes, we did.

We conquered Boat Island.

With peace restored on the seas, your goods will be worth much more now.

That's great news!

This is so grand.

Get used to it.

This is nothing.

There will be grander receptions in the future.

The Ding Army is great!

- Ding Army! - The Ding Army is great!

Thank goodness for the Ding Army.

Lu Zheng,

notify the army division

to escort the captive women and children back to Dongyu.

If the army dares abuse the children

The Ding Army is great!

or violate the women,

they will be punished by military law.

Yes, sir.

Congratulations, Marshal.

The news of your conquest of Boat Island

has reached the military base.

Duke of Ying has come too.

Father is here?

Jiang Meisun!

The delay in delivering grains

(Song Yichun, Duke of Ying) was due to attacks from pirates.

What is wrong about eliminating evils for the people?

Let me go!

- Let me go! - Sir.

He is after all Duke of Ying,

your brother-in-law.

Listen up.

Song Yichun failed to carry out his duties.

On top of that, he's making wild statements.

According to military law,

he is sentenced to 30 whips.

Execute the punishment.

Yes, sir.

You dare do it?

I am a high-ranking decorated duke.

Without the royal decree, don't anyone dare touch me!

Marshal!

Son!

Sir,

fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission.

On your feet.

We were running of our food.

Because you used yourself as bait,

we were able to subdue Dongyu's military power.

Good work! You must be rewarded.

Sir,

the deputy marshal not only destroyed ten pirate ships,

he also made use of them to take down Boat Island.

The pirates' last island has also been eliminated.

The decade-long efforts in border control and pacifying the seas

have finally succeeded.

Awesome!

Young man.

Your supplies were limited,

and so was your manpower.

Were you trying to get yourself killed?

It's because of the delay in food delivery,

that's why my son had to risk his life to save everyone!

Son,

talk some sense into your uncle.

I refuse to waste time arguing with him.

Incredulous!

The army is governed by law.

There is no place for familial bonds.

Failure to prioritize, greedy for merit for suppressing bandits,

you delayed the operation for ten days!

If Song Mo hadn't stepped up at the critical moment,

this battle would've been lost.

How dare you say that!

Bring me the whip!

I will execute punishment myself!

- I dare you! - Watch me!

Sir.

Duke of Ying is guilty of dereliction of duty.

But to watch on

as my elderly father gets punished

is also a failure on my part.

Thirty whips

is like a death sentence to him.

I did no wrong!

Please, sir.

Considering our victory on Boat Island,

allow me to receive the punishment in my father's place.

It is not against the law,

and is a show of my loyalty.

Please have mercy, Marshal!

Please have mercy, Marshal!

Please have mercy, Marshal!

A show of loyalty, huh?

Well then...

you get your wish.

I'll increase it by 10 whips.

Will you take it?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Go!

How did a failure produce such a distinguished son?

Unbelievable!

Hang in there.

Young man.

How did you ever think to attack Boat Island

with only a handful of men?

You put yourself in danger,

how reckless.

The Art of War states,

throw them into a desperate situation and they will survive.

Place them in a position of certain death and they will then live.

An army that fights with grief and despair is destined to win.

You taught me this.

Don't you talk about military strategy with me, boy.

I wasn't there,

but I know very well what you were thinking.

You attacked Boat Island

because you wanted to make up for your father's sins.

Now you've seen for yourself.

Was it worth it?

You actually went ahead and beat him?

I told him to.

The military is not child's play.

It was only 40 whips.

I meant it when I said

I'd bear it for my father.

Leave us.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Uncle.

Worth it or not, he is still my father.

My mother and Han

are waiting for him at home.

It's all my fault.

Back then,

I should never have agreed to let him marry Huisun.

That's not right.

I wouldn't be here if Father and Mother hadn't gotten married.

Without me,

who would protect the seas alongside you?

You would've been so bored.

Right now,

I feel like I just had a cupping session,

I'm rejuvenated.

Is this rejuvenating?

Is it?

Duke of Ying has left.

(Abundance)

(Abundance)

Light a lantern and incense,

(Zhao Zhangru) I pray for God's blessings.

May the warehouses be filled with good harvest.

May Ms. Longevity and Ansu

make bucket loads of money.

A farmer's livelihood is dependent on the weather.

Rain or shine, nobody knows for sure.

(Fair weather cometh) That's why

(Fair weather cometh) we have to pray for good weather.

Doing business is all about our own effort.

Rather than praying to the gods,

isn't it better to reward me instead?

Watch what you say.

Sailing the seas relies on heavenly will.

Dear God, please don't mind Ms. Longevity.

If you have the time,

please do watch over us.

Bless us with more wealth and fortune.

My guess is that the pirates will be eliminated by the year end.

The maritime trade will experience a great boon in spring and summer.

I will get you your wealth and fortune.

You are like the all-knowing female Zhuge.

But did you see this coming?

Zhangru!

Okay.

I have another intuition.

You won't be getting a matrilocal husband this year either.

How dare you say that?

Zhangru!

Good news!

I've got great news!

- Su. - Su.

What are you two doing?

What are you doing?

- Stop it! - Come here.

Stop it!

Oh no.

What's that?

Money.

I didn't guess they'd be silver notes,

worth 1000 taels each.

And there's a thick stack.

I doubt you'd find anyone

with this many notes in the whole of Northern Zhili.

The tea leaves, silk and ceramics that we stockpiled last year

all increased in prices.

It's all thanks to Zhao's tip.

My father said,

the orders from merchant ships increased by tenfold this month.

The earnings will only get bigger.

Ansu,

go back and tell Mr. and Mrs. Miao

to sell the merchant ships

after the current goods are cleared.

We'll look for another business opportunity.

Are you serious, Ms. Longevity?

Yeah,

we've managed to get a head start in Futing.

We're the top sea merchant.

Very soon,

all the waterways will be connected.

Wouldn't we make even more money then?

We're in the 24th year of Chengping.

The Ding Army's mission to pacify the seas is coming to fruition.

With the pirates eliminated,

maritime trade will be extremely profitable without any obstacles.

From the local Futing magistrate to the Ministry of Revenue,

they will surely implement levies.

I reckon this business won't be as easy.

Even if the local officials want a cut,

it's not to the extent of giving it up entirely, right?

Isn't it too soon to back out?

Or is it because you heard something

from Mr. Chen?

No.

Buy when prices are low,

even if they later rise, you bought at a low price.

Sell when prices are high, even if they later drop, you sold at a high price.

Everyone knows this business is a windfall.

So there's no profit to be made.

Just trust me.

I don't get it,

but I know one thing.

If you become the richest person in Zhending,

your stepmother

and that wannabe relative, Marquis of Jining,

would surely be desirous.

Fourth Young Lady.

Nanny Zhou from the capital is here.

See?

Speak of the devil.

Here comes trouble.

I said no to your family's new year party long ago.

Now, you've come asking again.

I have relatives from afar visiting today.

So I've no time to be the gracious elder.

Old Madam, you sure know how to jest.

It's rare for Fifth Master and Seventh Master to be present.

It will be a grand family reunion.

Isn't it nice for everyone to gather?

I'll be frank.

Seventh Master fell ill a few days ago.

He misses his daughter.

You're using Father as an excuse?

So I'd be the bad daughter if I didn't go.

Don't say that, Miss.

Madam prepared a full spread of dishes

in anticipating of your arrival.

She cooked?

Are you sure it's edible?

Right.

Who knows what she's up to?

She might have added poison to the dish.

There's no way I'm falling for it.

Come on, it's not like that.

Alright.

You're going, Ms. Longevity?

Grandmother,

at least Father remembered me.

I will go.

We'll go with Zhao then.

I reckon the residence

wouldn't mind feeding a couple more mouths.

Alright.

It takes only half a day to get to the capital from Zhending.

Nanny Zhou,

please take good care of my granddaughters.

Certainly.

How are things today?

Good harvest.

That's great.

Candied hawthorns!

I'll have one.

(Duke of Ying's Residence)

(Song Han, Duke of Ying's Second Son)

Han's mastery of the spear

has improved a lot.

I suppose it took a toll on your mother.

There's no such thing.

I haven't wielded a spear in a long time.

Nowadays,

it's good for me to keep active.

Mo!

You're back.

Son.

My son.

Mother.

This is a blade I got from the pirates.

I want you to have it.

Thank you, Mo.

I heard you were badly injured from the battle on Boat Island.

Where are you hurt?

Let me see.

I'm alright.

It must have been a hard journey.

I'm sure you've suffered.

Are you going to boast about your victory from the get-go?

His uncle took care of his wounds.

There's no need for us.

Could you stop sulking about my brother?

The boys are still here.

Leave him there.

It's been a while

since you've had my cooking, right?

Go and rest up.

I will personally cook today.

Let's have a good family meal later.

Sounds good. I'll help you, Mother.

Okay.

Leave us.

What a move from your uncle.

He sent a military notice urgently.

It stated how I was negligent

and was only spared from whipping due to my son's meritorious service.

Now, the officials all knew it.

I

have to rely on my good son

to have Jiang Meisun let me go?

This is a military notice on the victory,

not an impeachment letter.

It's mainly to share

the good news of the victory.

So His Majesty wouldn't focus on you mistake.

Was I wrong in helping the people get rid of the bandits?

If you hadn't asked to be punished,

I would've had something to back myself up in front of His Majesty.

Now look what's happened.

His Majesty demoted me to take charge of the military in South City.

The son is praised while the father is scorned.

You're putting me down,

and you think Jiang Meisun did it out of good will?

Father, that's...

Do you still take me as your father?

All this while, you've stationed yourself in Futing

and hardly ever came home.

His Majesty praised you in a royal edict,

saying how you take after Jiang Meisun.

What a joke I've become.

Whose son are you really?

Perfume sachets, ornaments...

Candied hawthorns...

Come take a look.

Perfume sachets, ornaments, little trinkets.

Powder and rouge.

Come and take a look.

Is it there?

- I'll take you. - Let's get you a little tiger.

Okay.

Do you like it?

Whose son are you really?

His lordship has always been strict

with you since young.

It's true that there are more rules in the duke's household.

Today, I realized.

After being away for so long,

my parents and little brother

are what a real family is like.

My coming back suddenly

seemed to have disrupted their harmony.

I want to take a stroll alone.

You may leave.

Today, this shadow puppet show

I'm putting on today

is called the Records of the Enlightened Age.

- Nice. - Awesome!

(Happiness)

- Take a look. - Ornaments...

(If I weren't the son of Duke of Ying,)

(would it have been better for everyone?)

(Suona, sedan, happiness) Nice!

(Happiness)

- Nice. - Nice.

It's been so long since we came to the capital.

The new year celebration here is much livelier.

There are so many shows and masks.

We're going to be late if we don't make a move.

Why did you ladies get off here?

Fifth Master and Seventh Master are waiting.

Come, get in the carriage.

Go on, quickly.

Young ladies,

I will notify Fifth Master and Seventh Master.

Fourth Young Lady.

Chen Shiyuan, Liu Xuezhen, Pang Kunbai.

The guests are all new nobles in the court.

Know yourself and your opponent.

Being prepared means less worries.

There are so many male guests.

With so many young guys,

I should've dressed up nicer.

The guests are mainly Fifth Uncle's students,

members of nobility.

This is after all a banquet of honor.

Our attire is indeed disrespectful.

Sister.

Sister.

How come you're here?

You look dashing, Ming.

I just followed Mother's instructions.

I didn't know you'd be here today.

There are many guests.

Why don't you come to my room

and I'll help you get dressed? Come.

- Zhao. - No...

You're finally here.

Master and Fifth Brother are all waiting for you.

Ming,

why didn't you tell us Zhao is here?

Follow me.

It's this way.

Master,

- Zhao and the girls are here. - Yes.

Not bad, they're young and talented.

Ms. Longevity.

The residence is hosting a banquet

and our guests are notable members of the society.

How could you show up late

and dressed up like that?

Standing next to Ming,

you look more like a servant.

Ms. Longevity lives with her grandmother.

It's good to be simple and neat.

It's my fault.

I forgot to tell the ladies the specifics.

(Pang Kunbai) Let me take them

(Pang Kunbai) to get dressed.

Come.

Apologies, Fifth Uncle.

My sisters and I are dressed plainly

not because we were deliberately neglectful.

It's because dressing too lavishly is inappropriate.

What do you mean?

Since last year, natural disasters have been frequently occurring.

On top of that, wars raged on.

In the start of the year, the Emperor and Empress

took the initiative to cut down on luxury items.

They called on the officials to not waste resources.

I heard that Fifth Uncle

is about to be promoted to head of the Ministry of Rites.

Despite not having received the official notice,

being so high profile and extravagant

could give others a reason to make trouble.

Well...

That is true.

It didn't cross my mind at all.

For special celebrations,

even commoners would dress up.

It's for the sake of auspiciousness.

How is this

related to a national affair, Zhou?

It is quite a relief to hear such

down-to-earth words from a lady

from an official family.

Who's that?

Of course it had to be the Fourth Young Lady.

Mr. Wu.

Long time no see.

Is Mr. Wu Sr. doing well?

Grandfather is as fine as can be.

(Wu Shan, Wu Family's Eldest Grandchild) I wish Fifth Master Dou congratulations

(Wu Shan, Wu Family's Eldest Grandchild) on behalf of my grandfather.

- Mr. Dou. - Thank you.

- Mr. Wu. - Take down the lights.

Please head inside.

- Madam. - Head inside.

Help Ming to change her clothes.

Is that Prime Minister Wu's sole grandchild, Wu Shan?

I didn't know you had dealings with the Wu family.

My stepmother is the people person.

Moreover, Wang Xingyi was Wu Shan's examiner.

He's likely the arrow at this private banquet.

And between Dou Ming and I,

one of us is the bullseye.

They're really changing the lanterns?

(Bright Moon Clear Spring) You're incredible, Mr. Chen.

(Su Xin, Su Lan) You even predicted

(Su Xin, Su Lan) that they would change the lanterns

halfway through the banquet.

Switching out the celebratory lanterns

means Fourth Young Lady is doing alright.

Perhaps she's even gotten the upper hand.

Let us go, Mother.

Ming, answer me.

Just now at the door,

what were you doing

with Dou Zhao?

I just had a little catch-up with sister.

She doesn't see you as her sister.

Don't be a fool.

Stop being so eager to call her your sister.

Everything I do is for your own good.

Otherwise, why did I go through the trouble

to invite Mr. Wu here?

But I don't have any...

Shut your mouth.

When choosing a husband,

your own feelings is the lowest priority.

Mr. Wu is from an established family.

Moreover, he's kind and diligent.

He makes the perfect husband material.

You're of the age to get married.

You're at your prime.

So tonight,

make sure you make me proud.

Got it?

- Yes. - Let's go.

Ms. Longevity.

It was a slight of hand mentioning official affairs.

I'm dressed plainly

because Mother's death anniversary is coming up.

I don't know if you still remember, Father.

Of course I do.

Look at this magnolia tree.

I'm the one taking care of it.

The blooms are particularly beautiful this year.

Flowers can bloom again,

but humans cannot start over.

Whether it's the new year or a promotion, they're just excuses.

Father and Fifth Uncle

are taking this opportunity to get Prime Minister Wu's grandson

and other guests

to check out the Dous' daughters, right?

Your fifth uncle

is only looking out for your potential suitor.

Made to look inferior and scrutinized by others,

did you expect me and Fifth Sister

to spread our tails like peacocks to please those men?

The seniors only have your best interests at heart.

Don't take it wrongly.

Fifth Uncle

insisted you take Wang Yingxue as a concubine

so that he could use the Wang family as backup.

Now, he's moved from the governor of internal affairs

to the head of the Ministry of Rites.

Does he really need to use my marriage

to help connect him to the Wu family?

Dou Zhao,

you are being too harsh toward your senior.

Since before, it's the parent's job to arrange their children's marriage.

But have I ever forced anything upon you?

No, you didn't force me,

nor did you ever educate me.

Just stay at arm's length.

It's fine to stay out of each other's business.

- You... - It's better for you

to place your hopes and dreams onto Fifth Sister.

When she finds a suitor,

I will be happy to prepare her dowry.

Fifth Young Lady looks weak like a willow.

She seems a little pitiful.

I reckon she'd be hard to please.

Fifth Young Lady is meant for Mr. Wu.

You can forget about her.

If you want to get a foot into the Dou family,

you'll have to pick someone from the unwanted pile,

the last in line.

For instance, the Zhao.

I rather go for Fourth Young Lady then.

At least she's loaded.

Fourth Young Lady is my pick.

You can have Miss Miao.

Although her family background is lacking,

at least she's moldable.

A gentleman should think twice before doing anything.

How could you discuss such vile ideas

under the eaves of the Dou residence?

What happened to the lessons you learned

about the ways of the saint?

Just listen to me.

Pick Miss Miao and you're set.

Listen to me.

What's this?

It smells nasty!

This is a special rain gauge made by the Ministry of Works.

It's used by counties and cities to measure rainfall and prevent disasters.

You can't simply touch it.

Ming is here.

The main protagonist is here.

So we just have to be the supporting cast?

Yes.

Act dumb and guileless.

Focus on eating and drinking.

Okay, I can do that.

Everyone, we are fortunate to be gathered here.

Please don't be shy.

- Here. - Sister.

Since you are all well-educated,

I have a suggestion.

Please come up with a couplet

and invite one of the ladies to match it.

If by chance, someone makes a good follow-up,

- they'll get one drink. - Good idea.

Good idea.

That's a good idea.

Since Lord Dou has spoken,

it is an honor to be able to see the literary talent

of the ladies.

Alright, then. Let's have Mr. Wu go first.

A lane by the walls shaded with willows,

floodwaters submerge the long embankment.

There's no ground left to tread where cattle and sheep plod.

Good one.

Dezhen's literary talent is not inferior to Hanlin's.

Ming.

Write this.

(A different world opens up under the heavens)

Dou Ming has a follow-up.

Beyond the heart lies Shangri-la,

clouds obscure the narrow path ahead.

Through the woods where chickens and dogs are heard,

a different world opens up under the heavens.

Excellent.

It's the perfect pairing.

Thanks to Mr. Wu for the inspiration.

Shishu, take a look at this verse.

Here.

Fifth Young Lady is totally in the spotlight.

Wang Yingxue must be delighted.

Hasn't this rhyming gone long enough?

Yeah, Ms. Longevity.

That's how she's always been.

Fourth Young Lady is intelligent.

How come you've not produced any verse?

I grew up in the countryside,

so I'm not good in writing.

You jest, miss.

The young ladies are the stars of today's banquet.

How about the Fourth Young Lady set a verse this time?

Ms. Longevity,

do you not want to write?

I can do it for you.

A young child from the north tends the herds,

watching over sheep, cattle, and the stars.

I can match it.

The old rogue in black launches a midnight ambush,

seeking to hold, to embrace, and to steal a kiss.

How shameless.

Ridiculous.

From the handwriting,

it looks like Miss Zhao wrote it.

Zhao Si is a two-time participant of the Ministry of Rites exam nonetheless.

You are his only daughter.

How could you be so crass and absurd?

You did a good job following up though, Mr. Pang.

What about I pull the red thread for you?

You could be the Zhaos' matrilocal son-in-law.

I never said I wanted him.

Apologies for my rudeness.

He thought Zhao had written it,

that's why he tried comic relief.

It was only a joke.

When the tree is rotten,

you can't expect the fruit to be any good.

Miss Zhao's parents are away in Diannan.

She lacks proper upbringing.

After spending years in the countryside with merchants,

it's inevitable she'd be unknowledgeable.

Stop your crap!

There, there.

If you're right,

I too, grew up without my parents.

So I'm doing menial jobs and wandering in the countryside.

Dou Zhao.

Perfect.

I just thought of a first verse.

Ms. Longevity.

What? What's she doing on this side?

Dou Zhao, that's the men's area.

How could you cross over?

Aren't you ashamed?

Dou Zhao...

The gentlemen were discussing the ladies' marriages

without a care in the world.

If they aren't ashamed,

why should I?

The fan is only used by courtesans

or talented scholars.

Mr. Liu Xuezhen.

I heard you sat for the imperial exam six times

and failed six times.

You're using the fan,

so what talent do you have to show?

You're a lady, miss.

Your words

are inappropriate.

Mr. Chen Shiyuan.

I heard your family business went bust

and you even had to sell your ancestral home.

I bet you're hoping to use the dowry to plug the holes.

Ms. Longevity has been away from the capital.

How did she know...

(Price treasure)

A fickle lover is easy to find,

but a priceless treasure is hard to seek.

Why entrust insincere feelings to embellished letters?

I can't stand you talentless and immoral people

who curry favor with the powerful.

Just because you know a few characters, you think you're superior,

talking ill of the ladies.

You treat marriage like an item on the shelf,

comparing and commenting on it.

You deem us the unwanted bunch, last in the line.

Does that make you the despicable fly?

Don't be rude.

You're behaving inappropriately

and making wild remarks in front of guests.

Where are your manners?

That's Zhao for you.

Mr. Wu, sorry you had to see that.

Fourth Young Lady Dou's couplet

is sincere and straightforward.

There's a bit of sarcastic humor too.

I actually think

there's nothing wrong with it.

But, it does make it harder to create the other couplet.

I am too crass and unrefined.

I am not qualified to be among such company.

Allow me to leave and self-reflect.

- Me too. - Me too.

Let them be.

Will Fourth Young Lady be okay?

A noble family knows to assess the situation.

Being too aggressive may not be a good thing.

It will depend on whether Fourth Young Lady can hold it in.

If she can,

we'll have to wait for another 15 minutes.

You're always so cryptic, Mr. Chen.

What happens if she can't hold it in?

Wait up, Zhao!

She's here.

Don't be angry, Zhao.

I'm not.

I can't be bothered with those people.

Are you sure you're not angry, miss?

I am a little upset.

So you asked me to attend the banquet

hoping I'd keep a low profile.

But it's not all bad.

When choosing a wife,

officials value virtue and respect the most.

Now that I'm seen

as the wild, fierce girl,

it will be the perfect excuse to reject Marquis of Jining's marriage proposal.

Now they can't force me to get married.

Do you really not care about your reputation

and marriage at all?

Women can live a good life

even without men.

When you become the wife, you have to look after both families.

Worrying about his career, taking care of household chores,

not to mention the concubines and illegitimate children.

If your feelings were true,

you'd likely end up like my mother.

Still, I want to meet my one true love,

get married and have children.

Maybe it's because I grew up without my parents,

so I've always wanted a family.

If you think...

I'm going to teach those uneducated slimes a lesson!

How dare they say I'm too old, crass and unfavorable?

- I'll show them what's up. - Zhangru...

I, Zhao Zhangru, will show you what it means to be crass!

Zhangru, get back here.

Sit down.

Zhangru.

Those people are blind and heartless.

They couldn't see your greatness.

That's right.

If my father hadn't insisted on finding a matrilocal son-in-law,

I would've gotten married long ago.

Okay, okay, she's drunk.

I'll take her back first.

Come on.

I'm bored.

I'll go for a walk outside.

Okay. Don't stay out too late.

Let's go, this way.

Su, drink with me some more.

Okay, we'll drink.

Miss,

there's someone following us.

Miss, have a look.

Go back to Dou's Residence

and bring me some silver notes.

Will do, miss.

See you around.

Sir.

The newly released Story of Luo Shan.

A life of wandering, heartache and grievances.

You can't cut off your father for good.

There are still some seats available.

Why don't you head in?

Drinks and snacks are provided.

It's the whole package.

(Show, Story of Luo Shan)

Welcome.

I invited Ji Jianming to countryside manor

hoping he and Ms. Longevity would take a liking to each other.

That Ji and Ms. Longevity keep meeting up in private.

He must have feelings for her.

Zhao,

how far have you two progressed?

Watch out!

♪The golden fiery steed rides across the vast horizon♪

♪In this life, oh♪

♪Without you♪

♪What is there to envy?♪

♪Let me lay down my blade and leave the sea of battles♪

♪To adorn your hair with a jade hairpin♪

♪Let a thousand, ten thousand blossoms♪

♪Bloom in a single night for you♪

♪The splendor of the world is but fleeting sorrow♪

♪Should the flames of war arise♪

♪I shall hold your hand♪

♪And walk through the dust♪

♪I want to hold you in my arms♪

♪Leaving the world behind♪

♪From now on, all the vast wonders of the world♪

♪May be left as blank spaces♪

♪The dazzling spring moon over the city♪

♪Is no match for your beauty♪

♪Why ascend to high towers again?♪

♪I will lay down my blade and leave the sea of battles♪

♪Break my spear to crown you♪

♪With a golden-branch hairpin♪

♪Let a thousand, ten thousand blossoms♪

♪Bloom for you♪

♪No more guarding lonely towers♪

♪Spring is near, ripe for the taking♪

♪Holding your hand♪

♪Till we reach beyond the noise♪

♪Only for you, I shall paint♪

♪With bold strokes and vibrant colors♪

♪And for all else♪

♪Let it remain pale and void♪
