You are the newly appointed Prime Minister,

Lou Siyi.

You must be Prince Ning.

Your Highness.

Prince Ning,

I have had physical contact with another man.

I cannot marry you.

I hope you can

find another good match.

I don't mind.

Don't worry about it.

I'm sure he didn't mean it.

I understand

the urgency.

You're right.

It was just an accident.

What's with all of you?

Why so serious

at Qingxiao Pavilion?

How about listening to a tune

and tasting some new wine?

You're quite the romantic.

I'll take my leave.

[Lou Siyi can't handle hawthorn]

and almost lost my life.

Father still wants me to visit him.

Your Highness, as the eldest daughter of the Lu family,

you still remember such a trivial matter,

which shows your kindness.

But what Father doesn't know is

I really dislike having so many children in the family,

so I've always instructed the kitchen to add something to his meals.

After that,

he's been having rashes on his body.

Appearance can be disguised,

but the allergy he was born with

can't be disguised.

Your Majesty,

what if the PM doesn't break out in rashes?

If he drinks the wine with hawthorn juice

and shows no reaction...

Jinzhu,

what tricks are you playing?

You spoke nonsense to my father.

You're so different

from before.

Now that you said that,

I think

you are different.

You never cared about me before.

So you want me to care about you more,

and you deliberately said you didn't want to marry me.

You're overthinking.

No matter how you treat me,

I don't want to marry you.

This is also a good thing for you.

Just now,

didn't you bring back a woman?

She is just...

Luo Li?

System,

didn't Lou Siyi pretend to be rootless to come back for revenge?

Tell me his plot quickly.

I want to help him.

Host, this is the independent plot of the second male lead.

Everything will develop as set.

Jinzhu hooked up with Lou Siyi first this time.

What should I do?

Am I going to repeat the same mistakes?

What do you want to do, host?

I want...

Lou Siyi falls in love with me first this time.

Haven't you heard the music yet?

You're trying to get me drunk.

How could that be?

I just want you

to enjoy the music more.

[The Empress suspects Lou Siyi's identity.]

[So she deliberately uses wine with hawthorn juice]

[to see if he will have an allergic reaction.]

[And she sent killers to take action.]

[If Lou Siyi shows no reaction,]

[the killers will...]

It's too late.

Don't drink it.

Lou Siyi deliberately arranged this.

That man was acting suspiciously.

Very strange.

Fortunately, it was in time.

But I think you should investigate.

[Should we take action?]

Is someone trying to harm you?

Take action.

No need to thank me.

He's not from Great Jing.

Prime Minister Lou,

In any case,

you've held me in public.

You should consider our future reputations.

Yet you appear in places like Qingxiao Pavilion.

What kind of behavior is this?

Why is there another woman?

What should we do now?

Her Highness has her own plans.

Let's go.

Get out of my sight!

Jinzhu,

you haven't forgotten.

You remember everything, don't you?

You don't have to put on an act here.

Whether you remember

or not,

you just need to know

this is my story,

the story of the lead.

Got it?

Without supporting roles,

how can

the lead be a lead?

Besides,

what lead

or supporting roles,

aren't they all just roles in a play?

I don't care if you remember or not.

You just need to know,

in this world,

what you want to change

will never be changed.

Auntie,

Lord Lu didn't drink it.

Prime Minister,

Yanran is here.

That girl

knows I didn't drink.

But your rash...

There was only one cup of wine,

and it was all spilled.

He refused on purpose.

I've found out

that it was a girl named Luoli brought by Prince Ning.

She deliberately broke the wine cup.

Then he wouldn't have had a rash.

Hurry.

Yanran is here.

She knows you didn't drink.

Hurry up.

It's too late.

This... General.

Aunt Yiran.

Why are you here?

Prime Minister, why do you have hives?

Today is the Waking of Insects.

Her Highness ordered me to bring pear soup.

Her Highness is considerate.

She always remembers that you can't eat hawthorn.

I just don't know

why you didn't eat anything today.

I...

Hawthorn?

You're allergic to hawthorn?

I bought this snack from the West Street today.

I just ate a lot.

But I didn't know you're allergic to hawthorn.

So just now...

What a coincidence.

Miss Jin,

you're an unmarried woman,

yet you're not at all coy.

I'm the daughter of the General Who Assists the State.

Since I've had physical contact with the Prime Minister,

I can't just disregard my reputation.

But regarding today's incident,

I did act rashly.

But that's also because the Prime Minister

shirked his responsibilities.

The Prime Minister's rash

should be checked by the doctor.

I'll excuse myself now.

Can you trust me now, Prime Minister?

I have no intention of harming you.

I just want to make a change.

Who told you

I have a purse on me?

How do you know there are hawthorn pills inside?

It was you.

You told me yourself.

This purse

is the only thing in this world

that truly belongs to you.

Why are you

lying like this?

[Today's performance is]

[is the Crimson Plum Blossom.]

[Welcome to come and watch at 5 pm.]

[Come with me.]

[I'll tell you everything.]

Do you know

what this shadow puppet play is about?

After Chen Sheng passed the imperial examination,

he married Ms. Ying as he wished.

Sounds perfect, right?

But this perfection belongs only to the two of them.

Chen Sheng's childhood sweetheart

was harmed by Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng's colleague fell in love with Ms. Ying,

and to fulfill Ms. Ying's happiness,

he was forced to take the blame,

and finally beheaded in public.

If I tell you,

you and I are the cousins in the story,

and the colleague who loves the wrong person,

we are the appendages in someone else's happy story,

we are the supporting characters at the author's whim.

If in this picture book story,

we cannot control our own fate...

If I tell you,

only by marrying me

can you change the predetermined ending?

Such a great kindness.

Lou Siyi will definitely notice me this time.

Jin Zhu.

How come they are together again this time?

Lou Siyi clearly doesn't remember her this time.

What's going on with the system?

The host Lou Siyi's independent plot.

He has his way of dealing with it.

Don't force your way into the plot anymore.

Once the plot is disrupted,

[you will never be able to earn points.]

But she was supposed to

die on her wedding night with Zhou Nanzhi.

Why does she, a supporting female character,

always affect my plot?

Lou Siyi.

I don't want to be a supporting character

who enhances the love between the male and female leads.

You shouldn't die at the hands of the one you love,

using your life to become

a stepping stone for their love.

It's a pity

the thread of fate is not in our hands.

If we want to change all this,

we can only take a chance.

You mean

if I marry you,

we can take control of our fate

in this picture book?

This may be our only way out.

Do you think I will believe you

if you make up such a story?

Your marriage to Zhou Nanzhi

is complicated.

The Emperor won't let the Residence of the General Who Assists the State

fall into the hands of the Lou family.

The Empress doesn't want me to be too powerful

to be controlled by her.

I will become the target of all because of you.

But these are just plots.

I want to change my fate

and I don't want you to be trapped.

As long as we get married,

we can change everything

and break these plots.

Tomorrow is Zhou Nanzhi's birthday.

The Emperor will arrange a marriage.

As long as you propose to her first,

then all of this, the fate...

What right do you have

to determine my fate?

What are you doing?

My fate can only be

in my own hands.

If we are truly controlled like puppets,

then I will kill the puppeteer.

I will kill the puppeteer.

And I advise Miss Jin

to check your brain.

After watching a few plays,

you think you're a character in the play,

talking nonsense here.

If the stage is gone,

do you still need to go?
