Wang Yingxue thinks that she's intelligent.
That's why I have to be one step ahead of her.
What the turtle shell shows doesn't matter.
Most importantly,
we just need to cast doubts in Wei Tingzhen's mind.
Wei Tingzhen was always paranoid.
Fourth Young Lady treats her nicely out of the ordinary.
She'll surely get to the bottom of it.
So, what is she trying
to get to the bottom of?
That'll depend on the act
you two have to stage for me.
What?
Infertility?
Indeed.
That day, I inquired about Dou Zhao's
condition from her maid as per your instructions.
They told me everything
after they got drunk.
Miss Dou looked pale last time.
Madam told me to prepare some tonics
for her.
She has consumed countless tonics.
But they never worked.
No wonder
you smell of medicine.
I brew medicine
in the kitchen every day.
You do reek of medicine.
So, what kind of condition
is Miss Dou facing?
It's just...
Nanny, don't blame her.
She's spouting nonsense now that she's drunk.
Fourth Young Lady is perfectly fine.
She brewed the medicine for me.
It's obvious that she was lying.
No one will fall for that.
I spent a lot of effort
to tail them until the fifth watch.
Then, I saw those two lasses
bury a white sack
under the tree.
I brought it back and inquired a herb expert.
They said the doses are high.
It must've been used
on a woman who's infertile.
Madam,
you didn't see it for yourself,
but the tree was scorched.
It's no wonder one of them were acting sneakily
while the other changed her attitude.
So, they knew that Dou Zhao was infertile.
They wish to marry her into our family in case nobody wants her.
That Wang Yingxue,
how dare she disrespect the forces of nature?
Send the Dou Family a letter.
Tell them to halt the engagement for now.
Since Dou Zhao is sick,
the wedding date should be reconsidered.
Let us see
who it is that cannot afford the delay.
(The wedding date can be reconsidered.)
(Wei Tingzhen, Duke of Jining's Residence)
Madam, please be appeased.
That Wei Tingzhen,
what exactly is she up to?
Extend your hand.
What did Dou Zhao tell you?
It's not her fault.
I was the one who did something that I wasn't supposed to.
You useless fool!
Duke of Jining has already advanced
their stipend ten years into the future.
Out of ten businesses, nine of them incur losses.
With Wei Tingyu's ability,
do you think he's able to repay his debt in this lifetime?
I'm marrying Dou Zhao off
to make her suffer from Wei Tingzhen.
The Duke of Jing's Residence
send out abused maidservants every month, you know?
Do you think it's a joke?
I'm sure that Wei Tingyu tempted her.
Ming has little knowledge of the world as she was raised here.
That's why she was duped.
Fifth Young Lady,
apologize now.
Mother, I know my fault now.
Do you truly know your fault?
Or did you say so because of the punishment?
Mother,
actually, His Lordship and I are...
I'll tell you this.
It's impossible between you two!
Mother!
Seventh Master was always concerned about Young Lady.
Fifth Master is the key here.
It takes two to tango.
Now, the Wei Family is the one refusing the marriage.
Fifth Uncle must be acting drunk as usual.
But Dou Ming is quite pitiful.
Wang Yingxue has discovered her relationship with Wei Tingyu.
I assume she would be severely punished.
Offer me some ice cream,
and I'll avert the disasters on your behalf.
Ji Jianming,
stop fooling around.
What are you doing in the Capital?
After the horse market was opened,
all those foolish people who want to fawn
on us flocked to us in large groups.
Naturally, I won't make friends with them.
Therefore, Lord Qing sent me back to the Capital
to report for duty.
Polygonum multiflorum and Rehmannia glutinosa?
These are included in the prescription for infertile women.
Are you pretending to be infertile?
When you stage an act, you have to prepare the full show.
Wei Tingzhen will only steel her resolve
upon seeing the medicinal dregs.
No wonder Seventh Uncle said that the marriage was delayed again
on our way back.
But why did you go through all the trouble?
You can tell me anytime that you want to cancel the wedding.
I have plenty of fast-acting methods.
I'm good at getting rid of bad luck in love.
Family affairs are different from state affairs.
If we do it quick,
other people might be implicated.
And, the Wei Family is already
looking for an excuse to cancel the wedding.
You better not do anything stupid.
I don't need your help.
I'll definitely help you.

(Exquisite Melodies)
- Excellent! - Excellent!
Excellent!
As expected from the famous talent in the Capital!
Excellent!
Your Highness, what do you think about it?
He's able to entertain Your Highness and Your Lordship today.
He's very blessed.
Excellent.
I never expected that the once handsome young general
is now obsessed with the play here.
Your Highness, you may not know,
ever since His Lordship purchased Guanghe Tower,
plays were held every day.
Your Highness, what kinds of plays do you like?
Please don't stand on ceremony.
Such audacity!
Your Highness,
The actors here
are all spoiled by me.
Please don't scare them.
- Excellent! - Excellent!
You're still in the mourning period. The entire court disapproves of you.
What nonsense are you doing right now?
His Majesty already spared me from the mourning period.
I have to obey his order.
Besides, loyalty to the ruler is the biggest part of filial piety.
Excellent!
I know you're laying low on purpose.
You pretend to indulge in worldly pleasures.
In reality, you want people to forget about your grudge
and hatred.
If you wish to investigate
Duke of Ying's case,
I might be able to help you out.
(Exquisite Melodies)
Uncle was killed by the pirates.
His Majesty has already closed the case.
Your Highness, could it be that you have doubts about the case?
- Excellent! - Excellent!
What about your father's plot against you?
Do you plan to let him off?
We're family. Why would he set me up?
To put it bluntly,
he's my father.
What can I do?
At most, I can only manage
the heirs and soldier ruffians on the training ground.
And,
this paradise.
- Excellent! - Excellent!
It's a waste of your talent.
Your Highness, I guess I should serve you with my abilities.
It's inconvenient to do this in the palace.
Your Highness,
I'll reserve some actors for you in secret.
What do you take me for?
Earl of Yunyang and Princess Jingyu value you highly, you know?
They must've been blind!
Your Highness, please come again.
- Excellent! - Excellent!
Your Lordship, this is a brilliant idea.
The officials in the Capital love watching plays
regardless of their ranks.
We disguise ourselves as a theater troupe
to hide our tracks so that it's easier to gather intel.
Your Lordship, it's easier for us to discuss things here too.
However, all of you have to let your martial arts go to waste
and hide your identities.
Sorry about this.
Your Lordship, it's nothing.
His Highness visited us incognito to test us.
He brought up the past on purpose
not only to win you to his side.
Your Lordship, during today's performance,
the person in charge of hosting the station officers
have procured new leads unexpectedly.
This person spoke with certainty after drinking,
claiming that the general had written a letter
to your mother before he entered the Capital.
No one noticed it since it wasn't sent through the military post.
I've checked the letters in the residence
after the fall of my family.
Uncle didn't write us any letters.
The letter vanished upon arriving in the Capital.
Even the person who delivered the letter is nowhere to be seen.
The Capital's station officer
is the crown princess's cousin.
Send someone to notify Chen Jia.
Tell him to investigate the case and keep a close eye on the Eastern Palace.
Get acquainted with His Highness's subjects,
including his inner household.
Yes, Your Lordship.
(Lu's Dental Shop)
(Su Yan, Rite Official)
This is a 30-year-old Jinyin Wine.
So,
are you sure that the letter Duke of Ding wrote to his family
will pose no threat to us?
Both Duke of Ding and the Ding Army are already gone.
It's just a letter to his family.
What can it do?
I wonder what that rebellious son of mine
will do now.
Could it be that Mother's death
is related to Uncle?
Being convicted, assassinated,
dying from illness, fall of the family,
all of these events occurred one after another.
Not only must it be carefully examined,
layer by layer,
but it also requires patience and endurance.
Just like what Fourth Young Lady Dou had said,
we have to plan this through.
Your Lordship!
There's a situation outside.
Where?
Wei, you created this painting through exquisite brushwork
and clever use of ink.
You're truly talented.
Jianming,
we should've known each other earlier.
Your praise touches my heart deeply.
Come. Let's have a toast.
Come.
Jianming,
I'm deeply troubled.
One can drown their sorrows with liquor.
Tingyu,
everything will be better after you wake up.
Come. Over here.
Come.
Jianming.
Since when were they this close?
Your Lordship,
I saw Fifth Young Lady Dou
entering Guanghe Tower just now.
Dou Ming?
That's the room.
Thank you.
- Excellent! - Excellent!
- Excellent! - Excellent!
Someone.
Get me some water.
Ming?
Am I dreaming?
Ming, you...
What are you doing here?
What exactly are you up to?
Ji Jianming said with certainty
that you wanted to see me for an urgent matter.
I rushed here after changing into my maid's clothes.
In the end, you were totally drunk.
I wanted to get you a bowl of hangover soup,
but the door was locked!
You're despicable!
I...
Something's off.
Ji Yong was the one who wanted to drink with me.
Although I mentioned you in front of him,
I didn't tell him to invite you.
This won't do.
I have to clarify things with Ji Yong.
Ji Yong!
Open the door!
I've tried everything.
It's locked from the outside.
There's no way to unlock it.
This is...
Ming, I...
I have no such intentions.
Although I'm playful,
I would never resort to such ploys and tricks.
Moreover,
you're my beloved.
I...
But there's no way we can explain ourselves
after spending the night here together.
Who would open the door for us tomorrow?
What will this rumor turn into the day after tomorrow?
The criticisms will drown me alive!
Sister, Father, Mother, and Grandfather,
all of them will be implicated.
Why don't I just die right now?
Ming!
Don't do that!
You risked everything to come here because of me.
If you cherish your reputation,
I shall take my life together with you.
Don't do it!
Don't do this!
You have a noble identity.
You don't need to do this for me.
Ming,
I swore a vow before.
You're the only woman I'll marry.
Even if our parents are separating us by force
and that we aren't predestined to be together,
I wouldn't abandon you
even if that means we have to die together.
Our parents gave birth to us.
This is the command of our parents that we have to follow.
With our hair tied, we swear a vow.
We shall not let each other down.
Now, we don't even fear death.
Why should we fear our feelings?
It's a success.
It's you again?
Did I offend you?
Have you considered
Dou Zhao's feelings and circumstances when you did so?
Ordinary people can only perceive what has happened,
not what is to come.
I'm helping Dou Zhao out.
You...
It's all my fault.
Harm me if you wish.
Do not touch her.
(Duke of Jining's Residence)
- Your Lordship. - I'm fine.
- Lu Ming, shut the door. - Yes, sir.
- Do not let anyone enter or exit. - Yes, sir.
Tingyu!
Why did they beat you up?
Song Mo, Tingyu has already relieved himself of the Imperial Guard's duty.
What gives you the right to hit him?
Tingzhen, it's all my fault.
You better mind your words and your servants'.
His Lordship got lost in the middle of the night.
He fell by accident.
I sent him back out of kind intentions.
That's the only statement you should reveal to the public.
If a single word of this gets out,
I'll come back and cut off your tongue.
Understood.
What exactly is going on?
You...
- Tingzhen. - You...
I cannot marry Dou Zhao.
Tingzhen, please allow me to marry Dou Ming.
You!
Wang Yingxue.
You vicious wretch!
Since your eldest daughter couldn't marry into the family,
you set up my son to make him marry your second daughter!
Now, you've become a parasite of the Wei Family!
(Duke of Jining's Residence) Your Lordship,
he's indeed a playboy
who's greedy and lustful.
Why don't we take advantage of the situation?
Wei Tingyu is a scoundrel indeed.
However, his engagement with Dou Zhao hasn't been canceled yet.
If news of this gets out,
she'll be mocked and ridiculed
for the rest of her life.
What happened to the Wu family was the perfect example.
But if we send Wei Tingyu back,
doesn't that mean Fourth Young Lady Dou has to be married to him?
He can try it if he dares.
I need to escort His Majesty to the western mountains in a few days.
I need to come up with a solution.
(Universal Compassion)
Mother,
I don't wish to go.
- I'm not going to the temple! - Just go!
(Wanfo Temple) Go!
I'm not going!
- Just go! - Enough. Stop messing around.
You can live in the temple for a few days first.
If other people ask about you, say that you're on a retreat.
As for the incident in Guanghe Tower,
treat it as if it never took place.
Mother,
although His Lordship and I did nothing, I...
Shut up! Even if you're not embarrassed, I am!
I've already sent our men to Duke of Jining's Residence.
I'm urging the Wei Family to decide on the wedding date.
For the sake of the three families,
Dou Zhao
must be married to him.
Mother,
I've always been
leading a cautious life since young.
I endured everything I could.
Not this time.
His Lordship and I have already sworn a vow with our hair.
Mother, I wish to act without hesitations,
just like how you got married to Father bravely.
Child, how could you be so silly?
Men
only cherish the things
that are difficult to get.
Back then, I got married to him out of impulse and passion.
Now, only desolateness awaits me.
All these years of estranged marriage and the incidents in the residence,
weren't they clear enough for you to see?
Why are you trying to follow in my footsteps?
Mother,
since young,
you forced me to learn how to write, draw, and obey the rules.
Was it because it'd help me obtain happiness?
Or was it because it'd help me to marry into a noble family
so that I could bring glory to the family?
What did you say?
You made me embroider all those landscape paintings
and gifted them to people all across the Capital!
But you only criticize me for the mistakes I made.
To you, I am never good enough!
Only this time, only Wei Tingyu,
he could see the wounds on my hand.
He would tell me that I did great!
I don't need to suffer anymore!
I've raised you for over a decade!
Now, you're infatuated with Wei Tingyu all because of his fancy words?
I'll tell you one last thing.
One's fondness won't last forever.
It'll fade away eventually.
The only thing that can ensure your future
is a man's future
and money!
(Wanfo Temple) Mother!
Mother, I beg you!
Mother, I don't want to go!
Mother!
You'll wake up from your dream
once your sister gets married.
Take her inside!
- Let's go. - Mother!
- Ming. - Mother!
- Ming, let's go! - Let's go!
Mother, don't send me there!
Ming, let's go.
- Mother! - Let's go!
Mother, don't send me there!
Mother!
Mother, I don't want to go!
(Wanfo Temple) Mother!
Mother!
Madam.
You're here. Have a seat.
Duchess of Ying,
I came here again
to re-discuss the marriage of our children.
The tea
may smell nice,
but it's tasteless.
Could it be that someone has pulled a switcheroo?
Madam, please practice wise judgment.
I'm sure it wasn't us.
I assume it was an outsider.
Madam,
I came here
to clarify the misunderstanding with you.
Misunderstanding?
Don't think
that I don't know what you did.
The Dou Family seems to have latched onto our family, huh?
Your eldest daughter failed.
And now, you're asking your second daughter to do so.
Listen.
The Wei Family isn't that gullible.
Madam,
please be appeased.
I came here to tell you this.
Dou Zhao is not only virtuous.
She's also very wealthy.
By then, you'll enjoy a luxurious life.
Think about it.
Once she marries into your family,
you can take over
all of her assets and wealth.
As for Zhao's body,
with enough time and careful nurturing,
it'll definitely recover.
You should try it again.
I've already picked a date.
Ten days from on is an auspicious day.
Ruin one's reputation so that you can reap the benefit, huh?
You think you're the smartest man in the world, huh?
To think that you were educated.
How dare you act so arrogantly?
You act without thinking of the others.
Luckily, it didn't blow out of proportion.
Do you think Dou Ming can stay alive if everyone knows it?
If you keep worrying about everything,
then you deserve to bear the grievances yourself.
Do you think I need to stoop that low
if you're willing to marry Wei Tingyu?
It's true that I'm not willing to marry him.
But I have a thorough plan.
I was one step away from achieving success.
But you insisted on interfering!
All your methods are either feigning sickness or pretending to be dead.
You call that a thorough plan?
At least I didn't harm people
because of my selfish desires.
How is what you're doing any different from Wang Yingxue back then?
How dare you compare me with Wang Yingxue?
My method yields immediate results.
If you're willing to cancel,
it doesn't matter even if Dou Ming and Wei Tingyu have to suffer criticisms.
It's Song Mo didn't meddle in,
they'll thank me
with wedding sweets.
I did it for your sake, you know?
Luckily, Song Mo was there.
If not, the entire Dou Family would've been done for.
You said you did it for my sake.
But have you ever considered what I desired?
It's pointless no matter what you desire.
If you do get married to Wei Tingyu,
they'll still do the same thing
under your nose, you know?
Don't worry.
The physician said
she doesn't have much time left.
Once she's dead, and the mourning period is over,
I'll marry you.
I'm just helping the fruits on the tree
to ripen faster.
If you don't get away from Wei Tingyu,
you'll definitely suffer in the future.
I just don't want you
to shed tears in the future.
That's right.
Everything you said was right.
But I don't want to hear them.
I'm too petty!
I can't tolerate your demeanor!
I don't wish to get involved
with a despicable person like you who tries to ruin other people's reputations!
From now on,
you and I
will go our separate ways.
Fine, Dou Zhao.
You better don't come to me when you get into trouble in the future!
We just brought Fifth Young Lady back not long ago.
The moment I took my eyes off her, she...
Ming!
Ming!
Keep your mouth shut.
Thank goodness!
Hurry, get her some tea.
Yes, Madam.
Ming, are you okay?
Mother,
I'm an unfilial girl.
Just let me die.
No!
No!
Silly girl,
in this world,
there's no man worth sacrificing your life for,
not to mention a man like Wei Tingyu!
Maybe he's not good enough.
But...
But one man's meat
is another man's poison.
We had already sworn an oath
when we made our lifetime commitment.
If we cannot grow old together,
we shall accompany each other in the afterlife.
No!
No!
(Western Mountain Palace)
Song Mo, there are about six routes that can take us to this place.
(Wealth and Luxury) You took a detour on purpose
so that I could see
the lands under Duke of Jining's rule are barren,
and the common people are chewing on tree bark to survive.
You were targeting Duke of Jining's Residence all along.
Such audacity.
How dare you abuse your power?
Indeed. I was selfish for changing the route.
But Your Majesty, as you can see,
Duchess of Jing forcibly requisitioned the harvest from that area
to arrange Duke of Jining's marriage.
Now, the farmers
don't even have rice seeds to sow during spring.
That's a fact.
It's not something I've fabricated.
The imperial family extorts the people whenever there's a joyous occasion.
This trend, if encouraged,
will surely be copied by nobles in other regions.
The people's resentment will be harder to resolve.
Your Majesty, please practice wise judgment.
Wei Tingyu, relying on his hereditary annual stipend,
has achieved no notable accomplishments over the years.
He did all kinds of ridiculous things instead.
He's not worthy of the winner of the Ladies' Etiquette Contest.
You know clearly
that I intend to grant you and Jingyu a marriage.
Don't tell me you intend to marry Dou Zhao?
The betrothal letters of the two have been exchanged.
I won't allow you to do what you want.
If you intend to kneel,
you can kneel here.
Dou Zhao had no choice but to do so.
She tried to cancel the marriage several times but to no avail.
I've almost lost all the people
I have wanted to protect and save in my life.
This is the only wish I have.
It's harmless to the imperial family and to others.
I only wish that the person I care about
can have her wish fulfilled just this once.
By then, when the palanquin crosses the bridge,
I'll use this to burn it down.
By then, you guys can push the palanquin into the lake.
I shall escape by swimming.
It's covered with fragments of flint.
And you need to jump into the lake and escape by swimming.
This is indeed a risky plan.
Fourth Young Lady,
why can't you just seek Old Madam Cui's help?
Grandmother is old now.
And, she's often sick as well.
I don't want her to worry about me anymore.
Miss.
Wang Yingxue instructed several nannies
to purchase the wedding gown and accessories a few days ago.
Anyway, the marriage won't take place.
She can act as the female head of the family
all she likes.
I heard
that Wang Yingxue hired the best tailor
to make another wedding gown.
It wasn't your size.
Ever since the founding of our nation,
women
could only wear this crown
during their wedding.
I've never worn it before.
I hope that you can wear it tomorrow
so that you can lead a smooth and peaceful life.
Mother,
are you sure you want me to replace Zhao?
Ming,
you're my flesh and blood.
You're a part of me.
How can I bear to see you die?
Mother.
Dou Ming's voice sounded strange.
I assume she inflicted injury upon herself as resistance.
Wang Yingxue is helpless
because she's her biological child.
That's great.
Miss, you don't need to take the risk too.
But Miss,
you don't seem happy about it.
I'm doing everything I can to cancel the wedding.
But she's doing everything she can to get married to her beloved.
Both of us are fighting for our own futures.
It's just that Duke of Jining's family
is utterly rotten.
Wei Tingyu isn't someone whom she can entrust herself to.
(Dou Ming hasn't harmed me in this life.)
(I can't just stand idly by as she falls to her demise.)
(Dou's Residence)
Congratulations.
His Lordship has arrived.
(Bless) It's so grand.
- They're here. - Congratulations, Your Lordship.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations, Your Lordship.
Congratulations, Your Lordship.
Zhao.
The ceremony will take up the entire day.
I was afraid that you might starve.
I've brought you some food.
Su Lan,
you may leave first.
Yes.
This is the lotus seed and lily bulb dessert.
It symbolizes a harmonious union and a happy future.
I wish you happiness
and a smooth life ahead as well.
May you find the one you love.
Congratulations.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
Ming hasn't recovered from her illness.
She's unable to attend her sister's wedding.
What a shame.
Don't worry.
Later, I'll definitely find a good husband
for Ming as well.
To think that I thought she had something brilliant planned.
In the end, she still got into the palanquin.
Wait!
From now on,
you must do well in life, okay?
Go now.
It's a facade, huh?
Mr. Ji, you're intelligent indeed.
I just wonder if that one
is intelligent enough to realize this.
(Duke of Jining's Residence)
(Duke of Jining's Residence)
Wait!
Your Lordship,
today's my wedding day.
What are you doing?
Dumb mantis, don't try anything stupid.
- Do you know that... - I know.
That's not Dou Zhao.
Why are you stopping them, then?
I just found out not long ago.
I knew
she would never get married to Wei Tingyu.
(Misty Beauty) This is their wedding. What is he...
I heard that their families had grudges against each other.
Is that so?
Why did they head inside?
I don't know what's going on.
All those couples who had made a vow with their hair,
how many of them truly had feelings for each other?
They just got married because they had no choice.
Sad, sleepless, in the long night,
in separation, I think of you.
Alas, I cannot hold the moonlight in my slender hand.
I go back into the room, perhaps to dream again of reunion.
Ming?
It's you?
This is great.
How did the heavens send you to me?
This dessert is important for this occasion.
There should be more of it.
Get me another bowl.
Zhao,
I'm too ashamed to face you.
I don't want it to be like this either.
Dou Ming,
one's marriage determines a lifetime of happiness or sorrow.
You have to think twice.
Duke of Jining's Residence is complicated and messy.
And, Wei Tingyu isn't a good man.
If you do get married to him,
you might have to manage the residence for the rest of your life.
You might soon see through
Wei Tingyu's cowardice and weakness.
You might suffer a lot.
You two might even fall out of love after this.
Have you thought of that?
If you change your mind now,
I can still do something about it.
Since young,
I always listened to Mother.
I wanted to be a daughter who she can be proud of.
But no one was ever concerned about
what I was thinking
or what I liked.
Mr. Wei is the first person
to admire me wholeheartedly and know me well.
I like him.
He's not a despicable person.
It's just that his elder sister is suppressing him.
He went against his sister for my sake.
He's devoted to me
and trying his best.
I think people can change.
I'm changing.
His Lordship is changing too.
He has already dismissed the concubines in the household for my sake.
Isn't it possible
that people will change for the better
after what they've experienced?
(Change, huh?)
This time,
I don't want to follow other people's will.
I only wish to act according
to my heart.
If you've made up your mind to get married,
I shall give you my blessings.
- This won't do. - Hurry up.
We won't make it in time when they're here.
- Hurry, take this. - I'm scared.
- Hurry. - No...
Zhao!
Are you okay? Was that too harsh?
You actually hit me for real?
Zhao, I'm sorry.
Be careful.
I've let Zhao down my entire life.
If a person only has a limited number of blessings,
I'm willing to give Zhao my remaining blessings.
♪I rise on tiptoes♪
I knocked her out
and got into the palanquin on her behalf.
Tomorrow, people will surely mock me
for belittling myself and violating moral principles.
Dear,
you're willing to commit such a drastic act for me.
I will never forget
your kindness.
(From now on, no matter how tough our lives will be,)
(I'll always watch over you.)
(I won't let you suffer again.)

Why don't we make the Wei Family acknowledge the marriage?
Ms. Longevity was supposed
to marry into their family.
Isn't it reasonable for us to deliver more dowries to them on Ming's behalf?
Now that this had happened,
you're questioning me instead?
Do you even have any regard for the Dou Family?
Shut up!
Who will give Ms. Longevity an account, then?
Dou Zhao,
I'll marry you.
