(Fate of Southern Love)

(Episode 16)

Your Highness,

she

did not

mean it.

(Lou Si Yi is starting to admire you.)

(Successfully earned 400 points.)

Chancellor Lou!

Chancellor Lou!

- Jin Zhu. - What's wrong?

Jin Zhu.

Why is Lou Si Yi being so rude?

Your Majesty,

we should go check on His Highness.

Prince Ning,

we are both under the influence of a drug right now.

You have to stay clear-headed.

Don't do anything foolish.

Your Highness, let me go.

Who do you think would dare

to openly set up a scheme in the palace

against a prince and the general's daughter?

His Majesty.

I never thought Father would make such a move.

Our marriage today

can't be changed by anyone.

Why?

Why is this happening?

Your Highness, let me go.

Our marriage is already destined.

Father won't allow

the general to join forces with the Lou family.

Even if you want to resist,

with your power alone,

you can't change anything.

Just accept your fate, Jin Zhu.

No, I can't.

Chancellor.

It's ready.

Jin Zhu.

Jin Zhu.

Jin Zhu.

No.

- Your Highness. - I won't force you.

But I can't let you go either.

As long as we're in the same room,

Father won't question anything else.

Prince Ning.

Let go of me! Let me go first!

Zhou Nan Zhi.

Let go.

Let go!

- Jin Zhu. - Lou Si Yi.

Jin...

Lou Si Yi.

Jin Zhu.

I...

I...

Lou Si Yi, what's wrong with you?

Lou Si Yi.

I...

I...

Lou Si Yi.

What's the matter?

Who are you?

Where am I?

What are you talking about?

W-What is going on here?

Your Majesty, be careful. Let's go now.

Your Highness, something really feels off.

Did something happen to Lady Jin and the Chancellor?

Hurry, follow me.

(East Hall)

Your Majesty, may you be well. Your Highness, we wish you peace.

I thought someone in the side hall was trying to hurt His Highness.

So I rushed in.

But His Highness was just resting.

I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness.

Forget it. Look. As soon as Nan Zhi falls ill,

Jin Zhu rushes over right away.

That's true childhood friendship for you.

Nan Zhi

turns 20 today.

He's already come of age.

- Perhaps... - Yes.

Time really flies.

I still remember when I first entered the palace.

My younger brother was sent to the northern border.

He survived alone for 16 years.

When he returned to Jingdu in glory,

he was injured and became impotent.

I am worried

that he will end up alone.

To my surprise,

he told me that he found someone he loved.

The two of them even exchanged keepsakes.

So what are you waiting for?

It's perfect timing.

Today is Prince Ning's birthday.

On such a wonderful day,

I'm sure His Majesty has no reason to refuse.

So that was a token of love?

I was wondering why you gave it to me.

The two of them even exchanged keepsakes.

So, the Chancellor is in love with Miss Luo.

But that's not surprising.

Miss Luo's talent

is unmatched among women.

Lou Si Yi,

do you like Jin Zhu

or Luo Li?

Is this your pouch?

It's a bit dirty. Let me clean it for you.

A boat and water need each other.

So why should water be seen as lesser and have to kneel?

Speak.

It's

Luo Li.

A gentle and graceful lady

is a perfect match for a gentleman.

Jin Zhu has loved Nan Zhi since she was little.

General Jin has always guarded the border for me.

His loyalty is unwavering.

Today, I grant the wish of these children.

I bestow marriage upon Jin Zhu and Nan Zhi.

Jin Zhu will become

the Princess Consort of Ning.

Tomorrow is an auspicious day chosen by the Imperial Astronomy Bureau.

It's time for the palace to celebrate some joy.

- Your Majesty. - Enough.

I know you've had a long day.

Stay in the East Hall until the wedding.

No need to leave the palace.

Lou Si Yi.

Lou Si Yi.

What happened?

How come

you don't recognize me suddenly?

I've never seen you before.

Of course I don't recognize you.

Never?

That's impossible.

We've been through so much together. How could you not remember?

You promised me.

You said you would marry me.

Oh.

And this too.

Here.

You said

you wanted me to give it to you myself.

Look.

Look.

The story hasn't been reset.

Why did you suddenly forget everything?

Feng Yan.

What is going on?

Lady Jin,

we really have never met you.

Even Lou Si Yi doesn't remember.

Let alone

someone who's just a side character like him.

What do you think, Lady Jin?

It was you.

You did something, didn't you?

My robe is a bit dirty.

Lady Jin,

could you lend me your handkerchief for a moment?

You...

Lady Jin,

you are now Princess Consort of Ning.

That makes you my niece-in-law.

I've never known you before.

Stop bothering me.

Chancellor Lou,

then what should I do with this handkerchief?

Just throw it away.

Lou Si Yi!

Jin Zhu.

You went through all that trouble, did so much,

but in the end, it was all for nothing.

What did you actually do?

I told you already.

This wasn't my doing.

It's just how things are set up.

Lou Si Yi is the second male lead.

He helped and saved you before

only because it was outside the main storyline.

But starting today,

Lou Si Yi's storyline is back on track.

Falling in love with me

is what he's programmed to do.

Once it starts,

it won't stop.

What a strange night.

Why did you suddenly show up at that remote East Hall?

And why did Lady Jin suddenly want to get involved with you?

You really think you can escape the story that easily?

You're just a throwaway character.

How could you ever beat me, the main character?

He's just a fictional character.

How could he ever fight the rules of the story?

He's already forgotten everything outside the plot.

That means you.

And he'll never remember it again.

Jin Zhu,

you're just a side character in a third-rate comic,

a throwaway character who dies on her wedding night.

And Lou Si Yi?

He's the second male lead who gives everything for the female lead

only to be killed by her own hands.

You two were never meant to cross paths in this story.

The story's path

will never change because of you.

You told me yourself

that this pouch was the only thing that truly belonged to you.

Is this your pouch?

Chancellor, what's wrong?

Chancellor!

You once said

that everything about you was just part of the story.

You wanted to change your fate.

But then what exactly

are you?

You wondered

what the point of resisting was previously.

Do you get it now?

No point.

There's no point.

Indeed.

It's pointless.

No matter how hard you struggle,

fate always bows to the story's design.

You'll die, and so will he.

You can't escape your roles in the end.

Just marry Zhou Nan Zhi like you're supposed to.

And then,

wait for your end like a good girl.

Lady Jin,

please return to the East Hall.

Your Highness, why did you

come out for her?

No need to put away the umbrella.

The weather's about to change.
