(Fate of Southern Love)

(Episode 21)

Your Majesty.

Lou Si Yi.

What's happening? Why can't I get out of here?

Who are you?

Lou Si Yi!

Watch out!

Lou Si Yi. Stop trying to take control of your body.

Otherwise, we'll both end up dead.

Who are you really?

Where am I?

You were never supposed to know any of this.

You should've just lived as the story intended.

Live an ordinary life. Say boring lines.

Just be a bland backdrop for my romance.

A mere character thinking you can defy your own script.

You're the villain in this story.

No matter what you do...

There will always be someone like you in this story.

You can be replaced at any time.

I'm the God who created this world.

- And you... - Are just a character in a comic.

Your rebellion means nothing.

You saved her this time. But next time, she'll still die.

That's just how her story goes.

No one can go against the author's will

or break the plot.

The author's consciousness is indestructible.

This comic world will never change!

No matter how many times you gain consciousness,

or how many times you try to change things,

you can't change the story that's already written!

- Jin Zhu. - Lou Si Yi.

This is my birthday gift for you.

Hope you like it.

No matter what you do, I'll never like you.

What are you staring at?

I said, no matter what you do, I'll never like you.

Please escort me out of the palace.

Or I'll tell everyone that you have improper intentions toward me.

You're threatening me.

Do you even know who I am?

You wear a cloud-patterned brocade.

You are allowed to bring guards into the palace.

You must be the new rising star at court.

Lou Si Yi.

The young lady of the General of the State's Residence.

You picked the wrong person to threaten.

I'm not even capable of intimacy.

No one would ever believe your lie.

Your power at court isn't secure yet.

I'm sure you don't want to get mixed up in any scandals.

Isn't that right?

The whole city is searching for you.

I'll find a chance to get you out of here.

Don't cause me any trouble.

Thank you.

When things have calmed down, find a chance to kill her.

Yes, Chancellor.

Should we kill her today?

The weather is nice.

Let's do it tomorrow.

Roger that.

It feels like we're living in a picture book world.

Everything here is fake.

That's nonsense.

Someone drew a story on paper.

Then that story comes to life in the picture book world.

There are main characters and supporting roles.

So, what stories are there in your village?

There are no stories.

Or maybe they can create their own stories.

They can farm. They can study.

They can practice medicine.

All according to their own wishes.

Then why is there no one here?

We could live here.

I mean,

we could each live together separately, like now.

Or not live here at all.

Should we kill her today?

The weather's bad.

Let's do it tomorrow.

This...

Hawthorn flowers are all white.

But the ones you drew,

why are they red?

It's vibrant.

One of a kind.

Anyway,

it will definitely snow here.

Because in my story,

there has never been snow.

It's today, right?

This weather

is neither good nor bad.

Let's do it tomorrow.

Chancellor. The General of the State's Residence is in trouble.

I can't drag the General's Residence down with me anymore.

Chancellor Lou.

Thank you for all your help these days.

But please let me go.

What if I

refuse to let you go?

Why?

The Jin family's daughter will be crowned as the Princess Consort of Ning.

It is an imperial edict. Take it seriously.

- Jin Zhu! - As decreed by His Majesty.

Jin Zhu!

That place you talked about is real.

The place you drew has come true.

Snow.

It's snowing.

It's really snowing.

Do you remember what you once said?

You said the ones who live here

are us.

I...

Our past and our future,

our love, hate, and fear,

are all just someone else's will.

When I think about it carefully,

only when I'm with you

am I truly myself.

Fate says you should marry Zhou Nan Zhi.

I don't want that. Fate wants me to love someone else.

I don't want that either.

All I want is to be with you.

Spend an ordinary life with you here.

Do whatever we want.

Love whoever our heart chooses.

Let heaven and earth be our witnesses.

Let the sun and moon bless our union.

Jin Zhu.

My heart belongs to...

Me...

One of you is the doomed side character obsessed with the male lead.

The other is the second male lead in a tragic romance.

Your love for each other is destined to break the plot of the story.

Who are you?

As long as the first awakened person is erased,

then everyone else who changed will forget their awakened memories.

And they'll never awaken again.

Jin Zhu.

You're the first one who awakened.

So, you have to die.

Lou Si Yi.

The author's consciousness can't die or disappear.

It exists with the plot.

How could you ever kill me?

Lou Si Yi!

Why?

Why do I have to obsess over someone I only met once as a child?

Zhou Nan Zhi

clearly said he doesn't love me.

Why do I have to insist on marrying him?

I'm the one who was framed and lost my innocence.

Why am I the one who has to die for it?

Why did you create this story, but can't answer my questions?

Say something!

Every time the story repeats,

everyone will forget everything.

All these questions you ask will vanish like smoke.

All of you must play out this story.

And I must protect the storyline.

None of us can escape.

Once the Blade of Fate erases a named character,

the story will start over.

But it won't be you, Jin Zhu, anymore.

I won't let you hurt her again.

You'll never take over my mind again.

You'll be trapped here forever.

Lou Si Yi!

Even if this story repeats endlessly,

even if we keep forgetting each other,

and missing each other over and over,

we can't give up.

No matter when, no matter where,

as long as we wake up again...

Lou Si Yi!

We have to find each other right away.

No matter what it costs.

Your Highness, this is my birthday gift to you.

I hope you will...

Lou Si Yi.

Lou Si Yi.

Jin Zhu.

Jin Zhu.

(Jin Zhu. I remember everything now.)

(Who are you? I don't know you.)

(Lou Si Yi. I'm coming to you now.)

(I shouldn't have met you before.)

A gentle, graceful lady is a perfect match for a gentleman.

Jin Zhu has loved Nan Zhi deeply since childhood.

Today, I'll grant you your wish.

I'll bestow marriage upon Jin Zhu and Nan Zhi.

Jin Zhu will be the official Princess Consort of Ning.

No!

I don't want this!

If we forget everything,

what do we do then?

Then we'll keep waking each other up

until we can both be awakened again.

Until we can tell each other clearly again that...

I love you.
