=Love Beyond the Grave=
(Adapted from the novel by Li Qingran)

00:01:41,260 --> 00:01:43,990
=Episode 28=

3
00:01:43,990 --> 00:01:46,340
(Yuzao Pleasure House)

4
00:01:46,340 --> 00:01:47,180
Simu,

5
00:01:47,470 --> 00:01:49,140
if you had exposed it later,

6
00:01:49,470 --> 00:01:50,550
I would have believed

7
00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:51,390
it was my own story.

8
00:01:51,830 --> 00:01:52,990
I haven't seen you for days.

9
00:01:52,990 --> 00:01:53,830
I just wanted to see

10
00:01:53,830 --> 00:01:55,420
how you would surprise me.

11
00:01:57,860 --> 00:01:58,780
What makes you

12
00:01:59,030 --> 00:02:00,060
collect stories here?

13
00:02:00,910 --> 00:02:02,750
I've always been fond
of listening to stories.

14
00:02:03,420 --> 00:02:04,300
Didn't you know?

15
00:02:06,940 --> 00:02:09,020
There are plenty of stories in the Void.

16
00:02:09,460 --> 00:02:10,790
Why do you waste time and energy

17
00:02:10,790 --> 00:02:12,350
listening to the mortals' trivialities?

18
00:02:13,070 --> 00:02:15,140
Those are even stories of resentment.

19
00:02:15,790 --> 00:02:17,180
I love those stories

20
00:02:17,740 --> 00:02:18,830
that are vivid

21
00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:20,740
with a life of their own.

22
00:02:24,990 --> 00:02:25,900
Simu, you...

23
00:02:27,390 --> 00:02:28,550
You want to be human?

24
00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:36,510
Do you want me to be that?

25
00:02:44,550 --> 00:02:45,860
There's too much work in the Void.

26
00:02:46,140 --> 00:02:47,550
Why did you suddenly come to see me?

27
00:02:51,390 --> 00:02:52,230
Three layers

28
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:54,020
of unknown zones popped up

29
00:02:54,020 --> 00:02:54,900
in the Void Valley.

30
00:02:55,110 --> 00:02:56,950
I accidentally broke
the outermost layer.

31
00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:00,140
So I came here to confirm

32
00:03:00,700 --> 00:03:02,550
whether you trapped Bai Sanxing

33
00:03:03,390 --> 00:03:04,270
in the Valley.

34
00:03:06,140 --> 00:03:07,180
In that case,

35
00:03:07,740 --> 00:03:08,860
I need to work with Jiang Ai

36
00:03:09,510 --> 00:03:11,020
to repair the outermost layer.

37
00:03:12,420 --> 00:03:14,550
We must never let him get away again.

38
00:03:18,110 --> 00:03:19,180
He isn't in there.

39
00:03:21,460 --> 00:03:22,300
That's where I keep

40
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:23,900
the belongings of the former sovereign

41
00:03:24,620 --> 00:03:25,790
just in memory of him.

42
00:03:26,950 --> 00:03:28,390
If you want to get in there,

43
00:03:29,110 --> 00:03:30,460
I'll let you in.

44
00:03:32,180 --> 00:03:34,270
So it's for the memory
of you and your father.

45
00:03:34,790 --> 00:03:35,700
Sorry for the offense.

46
00:03:36,110 --> 00:03:36,950
It doesn't matter.

47
00:03:37,950 --> 00:03:38,830
I put you in charge

48
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,020
of all the affairs.

49
00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:41,990
It's good to be cautious.

50
00:03:42,350 --> 00:03:43,300
My Lady,

51
00:03:43,900 --> 00:03:45,390
Young Master Xu deeply admires you.

52
00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:46,620
He's here to see you.

53
00:03:47,140 --> 00:03:47,980
Miss He,

54
00:03:48,350 --> 00:03:49,190
sorry to bother you.

55
00:03:51,580 --> 00:03:52,620
She is

56
00:03:53,620 --> 00:03:55,860
all mine tonight.

57
00:04:01,460 --> 00:04:02,300
Don't mess around.

58
00:04:02,300 --> 00:04:03,180
Your father will know.

59
00:04:03,180 --> 00:04:04,020
You stay out of this.

60
00:04:11,180 --> 00:04:12,020
Where's she?

61
00:04:28,060 --> 00:04:28,940
Is she still here?

62
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:38,710
She doesn't want to see you.

63
00:04:41,380 --> 00:04:42,470
Does she not want to see me?

64
00:04:43,940 --> 00:04:45,500
Or do you not dare to let her see me?

65
00:04:48,990 --> 00:04:50,230
You're a general,

66
00:04:50,820 --> 00:04:52,620
but you act like a lovelorn husband.

67
00:04:53,060 --> 00:04:54,300
How funny.

68
00:04:55,940 --> 00:04:56,940
Try something else.

69
00:04:57,740 --> 00:04:58,860
Provocation won't work on me.

70
00:04:59,790 --> 00:05:00,630
Or...

71
00:05:02,740 --> 00:05:03,860
We can make a bet.

72
00:05:04,910 --> 00:05:06,110
Haven't you wanted me dead?

73
00:05:07,150 --> 00:05:08,060
Then let's fight.

74
00:05:09,260 --> 00:05:10,100
If I win,

75
00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:11,550
you tell me where she is.

76
00:05:12,380 --> 00:05:13,220
If I lose,

77
00:05:13,820 --> 00:05:14,820
you'll be satisfied.

78
00:05:20,860 --> 00:05:21,790
You're not worthy.

79
00:05:23,380 --> 00:05:24,220
You don't dare?

80
00:05:26,470 --> 00:05:27,910
You have a death wish.

81
00:05:29,300 --> 00:05:30,740
Without spirit power,

82
00:05:31,420 --> 00:05:32,590
you may not be a match for me.

83
00:05:37,820 --> 00:05:39,150
Then I'll give you what you want.

84
00:05:59,300 --> 00:06:00,140
Oh, I forgot.

85
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:02,380
You can't feel pain.

86
00:06:24,790 --> 00:06:25,860
You saw the 22 graves,

87
00:06:25,860 --> 00:06:26,790
didn't you?

88
00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:29,180
Are you so eager to be the 23rd?

89
00:06:29,710 --> 00:06:31,420
Maybe there will be a 24th

90
00:06:31,420 --> 00:06:32,300
and a 25th.

91
00:06:33,380 --> 00:06:35,110
No one can truly have her.

92
00:06:35,940 --> 00:06:36,910
Now, she could be

93
00:06:36,910 --> 00:06:37,910
sitting in some corner,

94
00:06:38,380 --> 00:06:40,380
mocking your foolish infatuation!

95
00:06:40,910 --> 00:06:41,990
You've been crazy about her

96
00:06:41,990 --> 00:06:42,860
for over 300 years.

97
00:06:43,590 --> 00:06:44,710
So what have you really got?

98
00:06:57,710 --> 00:06:58,550
Young Master Xu?

99
00:06:58,740 --> 00:07:00,110
- Yeah.
- Don't just stand there.

100
00:07:00,110 --> 00:07:00,950
Get him up!

101
00:07:11,150 --> 00:07:12,350
Is that all you've got?

102
00:07:16,030 --> 00:07:17,030
She wouldn't care

103
00:07:17,670 --> 00:07:18,910
whether you live or die.

104
00:07:27,350 --> 00:07:28,300
Like I said,

105
00:07:29,470 --> 00:07:30,350
you aren't worthy.

106
00:07:58,670 --> 00:07:59,510
My bet paid off.

107
00:08:33,380 --> 00:08:34,620
You keep seeking pleasure.

108
00:08:35,660 --> 00:08:36,620
You're an official.

109
00:08:37,860 --> 00:08:39,740
But you fought for a top beauty!

110
00:08:40,620 --> 00:08:41,470
Who in this city

111
00:08:42,260 --> 00:08:43,140
doesn't know

112
00:08:43,380 --> 00:08:44,620
you have feelings for Miss Wang?

113
00:08:45,310 --> 00:08:47,470
Will Duke Pei just let you

114
00:08:47,470 --> 00:08:48,500
marry her?

115
00:08:48,950 --> 00:08:49,790
And Fang Xianye!

116
00:08:50,660 --> 00:08:52,230
He fights you on everything!

117
00:08:52,740 --> 00:08:54,380
And you ruined your own reputation!

118
00:08:54,950 --> 00:08:55,790
You've disgraced

119
00:08:56,350 --> 00:08:57,660
our whole family!

120
00:09:03,740 --> 00:09:04,580
From this day on,

121
00:09:05,740 --> 00:09:07,070
behave yourself and prepare

122
00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:08,340
for the wedding.

123
00:09:09,140 --> 00:09:09,980
I'll handle

124
00:09:10,900 --> 00:09:11,860
all the other things!

125
00:09:30,860 --> 00:09:32,620
I requested His Majesty to approve

126
00:09:32,620 --> 00:09:34,500
your marriage to the 5th prince.

127
00:09:36,110 --> 00:09:37,500
I don't think your father

128
00:09:37,900 --> 00:09:39,780
will disobey His Majesty.

129
00:09:41,470 --> 00:09:43,350
We'll be family soon.

130
00:09:43,900 --> 00:09:45,070
Just rest easy and wait

131
00:09:45,070 --> 00:09:46,310
to be my daughter-in-law.

132
00:09:50,860 --> 00:09:51,740
Your Grace,

133
00:09:52,350 --> 00:09:53,500
the edict hasn't been issued.

134
00:09:53,780 --> 00:09:55,070
Nothing is certain.

135
00:09:57,500 --> 00:10:00,230
I know Duan Xu also wants to marry you.

136
00:10:01,430 --> 00:10:03,230
But his family can't give any support

137
00:10:03,230 --> 00:10:04,620
to your family.

138
00:10:04,620 --> 00:10:07,430
Besides, Duan Xu is very arrogant.

139
00:10:07,430 --> 00:10:09,260
He'll get into trouble sooner or later.

140
00:10:11,140 --> 00:10:12,310
If you marry him,

141
00:10:13,350 --> 00:10:15,430
a sword will be hanging over your head.

142
00:10:17,310 --> 00:10:19,470
If he's caught in trouble,

143
00:10:20,740 --> 00:10:23,110
your family can't stay out of it.

144
00:10:24,540 --> 00:10:26,860
I believe you're clever enough.

145
00:10:28,590 --> 00:10:31,540
You will weigh the pros and cons.

146
00:10:52,740 --> 00:10:54,260
So it's you who have a treaty

147
00:10:54,990 --> 00:10:55,990
with Song Xingyu.

148
00:11:33,260 --> 00:11:34,260
Song Xingyu,

149
00:11:35,110 --> 00:11:36,260
trying to run away?

150
00:11:37,190 --> 00:11:38,030
Your...

151
00:11:38,780 --> 00:11:39,620
Your Lordship.

152
00:11:41,230 --> 00:11:42,660
I can no longer stay in this city.

153
00:11:43,140 --> 00:11:44,380
He... He Simu

154
00:11:44,380 --> 00:11:45,660
is going to find me.

155
00:11:45,830 --> 00:11:47,590
Don't forget our treaty.

156
00:11:48,230 --> 00:11:49,830
Even if you have the Glazed Pagoda,

157
00:11:50,260 --> 00:11:52,140
I can still find you.

158
00:11:53,590 --> 00:11:54,950
I... I'll give you

159
00:11:54,950 --> 00:11:56,110
all the puppet spirits

160
00:11:56,780 --> 00:11:57,620
I've made.

161
00:11:58,310 --> 00:11:59,310
Please let me go.

162
00:12:03,260 --> 00:12:04,710
Let me leave this city.

163
00:12:05,860 --> 00:12:06,860
Otherwise, He Simu

164
00:12:07,140 --> 00:12:08,140
will kill me.

165
00:12:11,590 --> 00:12:12,950
Our great plan is nearly complete.

166
00:12:13,690 --> 00:12:14,540
Once it's complete,

167
00:12:14,540 --> 00:12:16,430
you no longer need to hide.

168
00:12:16,990 --> 00:12:18,110
And I'll double the treasures

169
00:12:18,110 --> 00:12:19,660
I've promised you.

170
00:12:20,430 --> 00:12:22,190
Keep collecting Spirit Aura for me.

171
00:12:22,660 --> 00:12:23,860
I'll handle

172
00:12:24,190 --> 00:12:25,190
Her Grace.

173
00:12:30,950 --> 00:12:32,140
During our last meeting,

174
00:12:32,900 --> 00:12:34,140
I left without telling you.

175
00:12:35,710 --> 00:12:37,110
So I came to apologize.

176
00:12:39,830 --> 00:12:41,660
No need to apologize, Mr. Duan.

177
00:12:49,230 --> 00:12:50,710
Mother told me

178
00:12:51,350 --> 00:12:53,380
that you went after some bandits.

179
00:12:53,900 --> 00:12:55,310
State affairs come first.

180
00:12:57,590 --> 00:12:59,190
That's not true.

181
00:12:59,830 --> 00:13:01,470
I just saw my beloved lady.

182
00:13:04,950 --> 00:13:06,140
Do you know the plan

183
00:13:06,140 --> 00:13:07,540
of our fathers?

184
00:13:09,590 --> 00:13:10,740
In this city,

185
00:13:11,710 --> 00:13:12,740
only a few people

186
00:13:13,380 --> 00:13:14,710
are of marriageable age.

187
00:13:15,500 --> 00:13:16,740
We don't have many choices.

188
00:13:19,260 --> 00:13:20,100
So Miss Wang...

189
00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:24,990
How about you marry me?

190
00:13:44,990 --> 00:13:45,830
Your Lordship,

191
00:13:46,020 --> 00:13:47,110
a letter from Consort Yu.

192
00:13:50,140 --> 00:13:52,300
(To Duke Pei)

193
00:13:55,620 --> 00:13:57,580
(Wang and Duan will get married.
Do something.)

194
00:13:59,660 --> 00:14:00,540
Get Fang Ji to me.

195
00:14:01,230 --> 00:14:02,070
Yes.

196
00:14:16,900 --> 00:14:17,740
Great Ancestor,

197
00:14:18,110 --> 00:14:19,780
what did I tell you that day?

198
00:14:19,990 --> 00:14:21,660
They're finally in love, aren't they?

199
00:14:41,380 --> 00:14:42,230
Oh, Great Ancestor.

200
00:14:43,310 --> 00:14:44,310
I often think

201
00:14:44,310 --> 00:14:45,950
you're more human than I am.

202
00:14:46,780 --> 00:14:47,620
Ziji, look.

203
00:14:47,830 --> 00:14:49,830
The plantain's color doesn't look

204
00:14:50,230 --> 00:14:52,110
like something a spirit
who can't see colors

205
00:14:52,110 --> 00:14:53,190
would paint.

206
00:14:56,230 --> 00:14:57,070
It's beautiful.

207
00:14:59,430 --> 00:15:01,590
That's because you're lazy, ignorant,

208
00:15:01,590 --> 00:15:02,660
inattentive,

209
00:15:02,660 --> 00:15:03,660
and unsuccessful.

210
00:15:09,950 --> 00:15:11,070
But in my opinion,

211
00:15:11,950 --> 00:15:13,860
it doesn't matter

212
00:15:14,470 --> 00:15:16,470
whether poor General Duan loves her.

213
00:15:16,830 --> 00:15:18,020
He must marry someone

214
00:15:18,020 --> 00:15:19,430
his clan and Chancellor Du

215
00:15:19,430 --> 00:15:20,270
have designated.

216
00:15:24,830 --> 00:15:25,670
What?

217
00:15:26,590 --> 00:15:28,710
You don't think so?

218
00:15:30,500 --> 00:15:31,740
You don't know Duan Xu.

219
00:15:34,350 --> 00:15:36,070
If I did,

220
00:15:36,620 --> 00:15:37,860
what should I think?

221
00:15:43,350 --> 00:15:45,070
He's best at pretending to obey.

222
00:15:46,780 --> 00:15:48,140
No one can make him do anything

223
00:15:48,140 --> 00:15:49,620
he doesn't want to do.

224
00:15:50,190 --> 00:15:51,190
And he won't marry anyone

225
00:15:51,190 --> 00:15:52,070
he doesn't like.

226
00:15:53,190 --> 00:15:54,310
Something about that girl

227
00:15:54,310 --> 00:15:55,620
must have attracted him.

228
00:15:55,860 --> 00:15:56,740
Or she can help him

229
00:15:56,740 --> 00:15:57,710
fulfill his wish.

230
00:15:59,110 --> 00:16:00,540
He won't let himself be mistreated.

231
00:16:02,190 --> 00:16:04,020
I've never seen you

232
00:16:04,540 --> 00:16:05,710
so patient and familiar

233
00:16:05,860 --> 00:16:08,020
with a mortal.

234
00:16:18,310 --> 00:16:19,310
I care about him.

235
00:16:23,950 --> 00:16:24,860
But this care

236
00:16:24,860 --> 00:16:25,830
is only temporary.

237
00:16:28,260 --> 00:16:29,710
It's even shorter

238
00:16:29,710 --> 00:16:30,710
than his fleeting life.

239
00:16:38,070 --> 00:16:38,910
That's too bad.

240
00:16:39,310 --> 00:16:41,020
Duan Xu will have bad luck.

241
00:16:41,740 --> 00:16:43,070
The court is in turmoil.

242
00:16:43,070 --> 00:16:43,950
His marriage

243
00:16:43,950 --> 00:16:45,350
may be a bumpy ride.

244
00:16:46,140 --> 00:16:47,540
He'll have to miss

245
00:16:47,540 --> 00:16:48,590
the lucky day I picked.

246
00:16:51,190 --> 00:16:52,030
Great Ancestor,

247
00:16:52,900 --> 00:16:54,110
will you really not

248
00:16:54,620 --> 00:16:55,990
steal the bridegroom?

249
00:17:03,070 --> 00:17:03,910
Get lost.

250
00:17:21,990 --> 00:17:22,830
Assassin!

251
00:17:22,830 --> 00:17:23,720
Protect Mr. Fang!

252
00:17:26,170 --> 00:17:27,040
Something's not right.

253
00:17:27,050 --> 00:17:27,960
Don't come out here.

254
00:17:40,740 --> 00:17:41,580
Leave now!

255
00:17:41,710 --> 00:17:42,550
Leave!

256
00:18:07,780 --> 00:18:08,620
Who wants me dead?

257
00:18:09,260 --> 00:18:10,990
Obviously my father, who sees you

258
00:18:12,540 --> 00:18:13,380
as a major threat.

259
00:18:30,230 --> 00:18:31,070
Nice to meet you.

260
00:18:32,580 --> 00:18:33,420
I'm Duan Xu,

261
00:18:34,500 --> 00:18:35,470
D-U-A-N, X-U.

262
00:18:38,910 --> 00:18:40,100
My father, Duan Chengzhang,

263
00:18:41,150 --> 00:18:41,990
wants you dead.

264
00:18:49,950 --> 00:18:50,950
I read your essays.

265
00:18:52,630 --> 00:18:53,470
They're excellent.

266
00:18:54,780 --> 00:18:56,500
They shouldn't disappear from the world.

267
00:18:58,540 --> 00:19:00,430
You should uphold justice

268
00:19:02,340 --> 00:19:03,540
and give people a good life

269
00:19:04,710 --> 00:19:05,820
as the sages said.

270
00:19:07,710 --> 00:19:08,550
I've heard weapons

271
00:19:09,300 --> 00:19:10,140
are the tool of evil

272
00:19:10,740 --> 00:19:11,580
or virtue.

273
00:19:12,340 --> 00:19:13,470
I'll be the tool of evil.

274
00:19:15,340 --> 00:19:16,470
You'll be the tool of virtue.

275
00:19:19,150 --> 00:19:19,990
What do you say?

276
00:19:28,190 --> 00:19:29,190
So he hates me that much.

277
00:19:31,540 --> 00:19:32,710
You've begun to shine.

278
00:19:33,470 --> 00:19:35,020
You'll just be in more danger.

279
00:19:36,260 --> 00:19:37,100
Shall I get Luoxian

280
00:19:37,100 --> 00:19:38,190
out of Yuzao Pleasure House

281
00:19:38,710 --> 00:19:39,740
to protect you for now?

282
00:19:39,910 --> 00:19:40,870
No way.

283
00:19:40,870 --> 00:19:42,820
The court is in turmoil.

284
00:19:43,540 --> 00:19:44,390
We need her intel

285
00:19:44,390 --> 00:19:45,540
from Yuzao Pleasure House.

286
00:19:46,630 --> 00:19:48,070
Oh, I have something to tell you.

287
00:19:51,260 --> 00:19:52,540
The corruption case took a turn.

288
00:19:53,300 --> 00:19:54,710
Sun Changde of the Imperial Stud

289
00:19:54,910 --> 00:19:55,750
backtracked.

290
00:19:57,870 --> 00:19:58,990
Did he say

291
00:19:59,430 --> 00:20:00,990
the 3,000 warhorses weren't phantoms,

292
00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:02,300
but died of plague?

293
00:20:03,100 --> 00:20:03,940
Something worse.

294
00:20:04,250 --> 00:20:05,100
He even said

295
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:06,740
someone threatened and ordered him

296
00:20:06,990 --> 00:20:08,260
to report this case to frame

297
00:20:08,710 --> 00:20:09,990
the Minister of the Imperial Stud

298
00:20:09,990 --> 00:20:10,990
and the Minister of War.

299
00:20:11,870 --> 00:20:12,710
I guess Duke Pei

300
00:20:12,990 --> 00:20:13,910
ordered him

301
00:20:13,910 --> 00:20:14,750
to backtrack.

302
00:20:16,260 --> 00:20:17,100
You and I both know

303
00:20:17,300 --> 00:20:18,820
the corruption case is absolutely true.

304
00:20:19,430 --> 00:20:20,270
But you forged

305
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:21,390
some of the evidence.

306
00:20:21,950 --> 00:20:22,870
If they dig further,

307
00:20:22,870 --> 00:20:24,190
they'll trace it back to you.

308
00:20:25,470 --> 00:20:26,310
Let's take things

309
00:20:26,950 --> 00:20:27,790
as they come.

310
00:20:28,230 --> 00:20:29,070
Soon,

311
00:20:29,260 --> 00:20:30,470
things will turn around.

312
00:20:31,950 --> 00:20:32,790
Oh,

313
00:20:33,060 --> 00:20:34,150
let me introduce someone.

314
00:20:34,870 --> 00:20:35,710
Now?

315
00:20:37,870 --> 00:20:38,710
Right here?

316
00:20:39,630 --> 00:20:40,470
Someone

317
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:41,340
who matters most.

318
00:20:43,740 --> 00:20:44,710
Someone I can't let go of

319
00:20:47,710 --> 00:20:48,910
after trying really hard.

320
00:20:54,190 --> 00:20:55,030
He Simu.

321
00:21:12,100 --> 00:21:12,940
Simu,

322
00:21:13,580 --> 00:21:14,990
can you show my friend

323
00:21:15,260 --> 00:21:16,340
your true form too?

324
00:21:29,500 --> 00:21:30,340
Simu,

325
00:21:31,300 --> 00:21:32,300
this is my close friend,

326
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:33,340
Fang Xianye.

327
00:21:33,990 --> 00:21:34,830
Xianye,

328
00:21:35,300 --> 00:21:36,390
this is He Simu,

329
00:21:36,710 --> 00:21:37,550
Sovereign of Spirits.

330
00:21:37,710 --> 00:21:38,630
Sovereign?

331
00:21:40,430 --> 00:21:41,430
Why did you call me out?

332
00:21:42,430 --> 00:21:43,540
I didn't give you the right

333
00:21:44,150 --> 00:21:44,990
to summon me

334
00:21:44,990 --> 00:21:45,850
for fun.

335
00:21:47,430 --> 00:21:48,630
I want to make a deal.

336
00:21:51,540 --> 00:21:52,380
What conditions?

337
00:21:59,260 --> 00:22:00,340

00:24:30,900 --> 00:24:33,180
(Yueran Fragrance)

386
00:24:33,190 --> 00:24:34,030
Master Xuan,

387
00:24:34,670 --> 00:24:36,390
get me some superb amber.

388
00:24:39,190 --> 00:24:40,030
Master Xuan?

389
00:24:43,260 --> 00:24:44,100
It's you, Miss Duan.

390
00:24:44,670 --> 00:24:45,510
Want ingredients?

391
00:24:46,710 --> 00:24:47,710
Get me the best amber

392
00:24:47,710 --> 00:24:48,950
for my fragrant powder.

393
00:24:49,710 --> 00:24:50,780
I will make

394
00:24:51,190 --> 00:24:53,100
the finest and sweetest powder

395
00:24:53,910 --> 00:24:55,300
and wear the newest style of clothes

396
00:24:56,150 --> 00:24:57,820
for my brother's wedding.

397
00:25:07,300 --> 00:25:08,910
Make an identical sachet for me.

398
00:25:09,300 --> 00:25:11,190
The ingredients are agarwood, amber,

399
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,650
storax, mint leaves,

400
00:25:12,650 --> 00:25:13,670
bletilla, and benzoin.

401
00:25:14,020 --> 00:25:14,860
All right.

402
00:25:19,100 --> 00:25:19,940
Miss Duan,

403
00:25:21,390 --> 00:25:22,230
please wait a minute.

404
00:25:40,740 --> 00:25:42,020
Why do you stare at me?

405
00:25:44,870 --> 00:25:46,100
I think your sachet

406
00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:47,820
smells very good.

407
00:25:48,580 --> 00:25:50,190
Did you blend the fragrance yourself?

408
00:25:50,820 --> 00:25:52,060
What's its name?

409
00:25:54,870 --> 00:25:55,740
Duan Shunxi.

410
00:26:04,580 --> 00:26:05,430
It's done, Miss.

411
00:26:10,540 --> 00:26:11,380
Hey, wait.

412
00:26:12,390 --> 00:26:13,780
It doesn't smell right.

413
00:26:27,500 --> 00:26:28,540
The bletilla is missing.

414
00:26:29,670 --> 00:26:30,510
Miss Duan.

415
00:26:35,630 --> 00:26:37,070
Sorry, Miss. I'll add it now.

416
00:26:49,710 --> 00:26:50,550
Thank you.

417
00:26:59,060 --> 00:27:00,150
(Maybe she's someone)

418
00:27:00,540 --> 00:27:02,190
(who adores my brother.)

419
00:27:08,710 --> 00:27:09,550
Master Xuan.

420
00:27:10,740 --> 00:27:12,390
You don't look very well today.

421
00:27:12,670 --> 00:27:13,580
Take care of yourself.

422
00:27:17,020 --> 00:27:18,100
Young Master Xu's wedding

423
00:27:19,020 --> 00:27:20,020
is a grand event in town.

424
00:27:23,100 --> 00:27:24,300
You must be working hard on it.

425
00:27:24,950 --> 00:27:26,100
Take care of yourself too.

426
00:27:26,470 --> 00:27:27,310
Thank you.

427
00:27:28,540 --> 00:27:29,380
Biqing.

428
00:27:39,540 --> 00:27:40,710
That lady

429
00:27:40,710 --> 00:27:41,780
somehow got to know

430
00:27:41,780 --> 00:27:43,430
your aromatic ingredients.

431
00:27:43,580 --> 00:27:45,870
Then she had the identical fragrance.

432
00:27:46,540 --> 00:27:47,740
It will make her think of you.

433
00:27:49,740 --> 00:27:50,580
Come on, Xu.

434
00:27:50,780 --> 00:27:51,710
Your marriage

435
00:27:51,710 --> 00:27:53,950
will break the heart
of young ladies in town.

436
00:27:55,820 --> 00:27:56,670
Handsome disaster.

437
00:27:57,390 --> 00:27:58,260
Are you saying

438
00:27:58,260 --> 00:27:59,470
an ingredient was missing

439
00:27:59,820 --> 00:28:00,710
and she didn't realize?

440
00:28:01,710 --> 00:28:02,550
Strange, isn't it?

441
00:28:06,990 --> 00:28:07,830
How lovely.

442
00:28:16,710 --> 00:28:17,550
Hey, Xu.

443
00:28:18,230 --> 00:28:19,580
You're getting married.

444
00:28:19,710 --> 00:28:20,990
You must not

445
00:28:20,990 --> 00:28:22,190
find other girls lovely.

446
00:28:29,950 --> 00:28:30,790
Xu,

447
00:28:31,670 --> 00:28:32,740
didn't you say

448
00:28:33,670 --> 00:28:35,150
you loved someone?

449
00:28:36,740 --> 00:28:38,100
Are you giving up on her?

450
00:28:54,630 --> 00:28:55,770
Look, Xu.

451
00:28:56,340 --> 00:28:57,950
This is my new sachet.

452
00:28:58,230 --> 00:28:59,070
Smell it.

453
00:29:04,470 --> 00:29:05,310
What do you think?

454
00:29:08,230 --> 00:29:09,070
Mimosa flower.

455
00:29:09,740 --> 00:29:10,580
Eupatorium.

456
00:29:11,230 --> 00:29:12,070
Fleeceflower vine.

457
00:29:12,580 --> 00:29:13,420
Magnolia flower bud.

458
00:29:15,260 --> 00:29:16,100
Agastache.

459
00:29:21,230 --> 00:29:22,070
That's all?

460
00:29:22,340 --> 00:29:23,180
Yes.

461
00:29:23,630 --> 00:29:24,780
Two more.

462
00:29:25,430 --> 00:29:27,470
Fennel and lily.

463
00:29:33,670 --> 00:29:35,340
Well, mistakes happen.

464
00:29:36,740 --> 00:29:37,740
(I can't smell it all.)

465
00:29:40,230 --> 00:29:42,060
(So this is the price
of exchanging senses.)

466
00:29:55,870 --> 00:29:57,260
I'm getting old, anyway.

467
00:29:58,060 --> 00:29:58,900
Jingyuan,

468
00:29:59,430 --> 00:30:00,340
I'm afraid

469
00:30:00,340 --> 00:30:01,910
I'll often make mistakes in this game.

470
00:30:02,190 --> 00:30:03,150
You're still young.

471
00:30:03,500 --> 00:30:04,780
Don't say that.

472
00:30:05,540 --> 00:30:06,430
Age always

473
00:30:06,950 --> 00:30:08,470
weakens the senses.

474
00:30:09,340 --> 00:30:10,230
That's a natural rule.

475
00:30:18,820 --> 00:30:21,060
(Lotusborn Pavilion)

476
00:30:27,260 --> 00:30:28,100
Great Ancestor?

477
00:30:30,430 --> 00:30:31,340
Great Ancestor,

478
00:30:31,340 --> 00:30:32,190
where have you been?

479
00:30:33,500 --> 00:30:34,340
I bought a sachet.

480
00:30:35,990 --> 00:30:37,500
You can't smell anything.

481
00:30:37,500 --> 00:30:38,780
Why do you need a sachet?

482
00:30:39,740 --> 00:30:40,710
I can't smell.

483
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:41,740
But I like it

484
00:30:41,740 --> 00:30:42,740
when this scent is on me.

485
00:30:42,870 --> 00:30:43,710
Any problem?

486
00:30:43,870 --> 00:30:44,710
No, no.

487
00:30:49,580 --> 00:30:51,430
What kind of gifts

488
00:30:52,190 --> 00:30:53,430
do mortals give for a wedding?

489
00:30:54,820 --> 00:30:56,780
It depends on whose wedding it is.

490
00:31:01,340 --> 00:31:03,190
You won't give Duan Xu a gift, will you?

491
00:31:03,990 --> 00:31:05,820
He invited me to his wedding.

492
00:31:05,820 --> 00:31:07,020
I can't go without a gift.

493
00:31:10,670 --> 00:31:13,020
Come on, Great Ancestor.

494
00:31:13,340 --> 00:31:14,470
You always hate

495
00:31:14,470 --> 00:31:16,100
going to weddings or funerals.

496
00:31:16,260 --> 00:31:18,150
You didn't even attend
the wedding or funeral

497
00:31:18,150 --> 00:31:19,260
of my parents.

498
00:31:20,150 --> 00:31:21,100
You really

499
00:31:21,540 --> 00:31:22,540
favor him

500
00:31:23,230 --> 00:31:24,070
and prioritize love.

501
00:31:25,230 --> 00:31:26,070
He's different.

502
00:31:27,260 --> 00:31:28,740
It's his condition for sense exchange.

503
00:31:29,910 --> 00:31:31,020
I've realized

504
00:31:31,300 --> 00:31:33,060
you're tolerant of him for no reason.

505
00:31:36,150 --> 00:31:37,190
This is just a deal.

506
00:31:38,990 --> 00:31:40,910
I happened to prepare

507
00:31:40,910 --> 00:31:42,230
a big gift for him.

508
00:31:43,190 --> 00:31:44,390
The horse administration case

509
00:31:44,390 --> 00:31:45,540
is being investigated.

510
00:31:45,910 --> 00:31:47,150
The key witness backtracked,

511
00:31:47,150 --> 00:31:48,000
accusing Duan Xu

512
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,500
of forging some evidence

513
00:31:49,500 --> 00:31:50,630
to attack the two cities.

514
00:31:50,910 --> 00:31:51,760
Duke Pei's men

515
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,100
are keeping an eye

516
00:31:53,100 --> 00:31:53,940
on this case.

517
00:31:53,950 --> 00:31:54,910
I guess they'll probably

518
00:31:55,060 --> 00:31:56,540
give him more trouble.

519
00:31:56,820 --> 00:31:57,660
And I...

520
00:32:01,950 --> 00:32:04,260
What I'm working on

521
00:32:04,820 --> 00:32:06,780
can do Duan Xu a big favor.

522
00:32:12,430 --> 00:32:13,500
This is your gift.

523
00:32:14,990 --> 00:32:16,670
What should I give him?

524
00:32:16,990 --> 00:32:18,820
You've been getting along with him.

525
00:32:18,820 --> 00:32:20,300
Don't you know what he likes?

526
00:32:23,300 --> 00:32:24,340
Come on, Great Ancestor.

527
00:32:24,780 --> 00:32:25,870
When you gave gifts,

528
00:32:25,870 --> 00:32:27,340
you used to be decisive.

529
00:32:27,710 --> 00:32:29,500
Why are you so cautious now?

530
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:32,100
You still have some days.

531
00:32:32,260 --> 00:32:34,150
It's hard to prepare a gift

532
00:32:34,950 --> 00:32:36,580
that brings real joy.

533
00:32:49,580 --> 00:32:50,420
That's right.

534
00:32:52,630 --> 00:32:53,500
Farewell.

535
00:33:22,470 --> 00:33:24,340
The Fire Star is off track.

536
00:33:26,230 --> 00:33:28,710
A lucky day is coming.

537
00:33:39,820 --> 00:33:40,740
Young Master Xu,

538
00:33:40,870 --> 00:33:42,100
want to see the top beauty?

539
00:33:42,740 --> 00:33:43,580
Unfortunately,

540
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:44,610
she was bored with stories

541
00:33:44,670 --> 00:33:45,870
and then left this place.

542
00:33:46,060 --> 00:33:47,630
I'm here for Luoxian.

543
00:33:48,780 --> 00:33:49,710
But Young Master,

544
00:33:49,710 --> 00:33:51,500
Luoxian is receiving an important guest.

545
00:33:51,670 --> 00:33:52,540
She can't see you now.

546
00:33:54,470 --> 00:33:55,310
Mr. Duan.

547
00:34:10,990 --> 00:34:11,830
Mr. Duan.

548
00:34:14,140 --> 00:34:14,990
Luoxian,

549
00:34:15,270 --> 00:34:16,180
Mr. Duan...

550
00:34:16,580 --> 00:34:18,220
I must see Luoxian today.

551
00:34:20,470 --> 00:34:21,620
Mr. Fang, do you mind?

552
00:34:25,620 --> 00:34:27,020
Don't be angry, gentlemen.

553
00:34:27,910 --> 00:34:29,870
Sharing music is also a pleasure.

554
00:34:30,500 --> 00:34:33,540
I'd like to play music and sing for you.

555
00:35:10,580 --> 00:35:14,380
(Wang Jin, Vice Minister
of the Judicial Review)

556
00:35:20,470 --> 00:35:21,750
What a nice day today.

557
00:35:22,700 --> 00:35:23,830
The top three scholars

558
00:35:23,990 --> 00:35:25,060
of the same imperial exam

559
00:35:25,060 --> 00:35:25,900
are all here.

560
00:35:27,620 --> 00:35:29,140
Shall we close the net?

561
00:35:29,430 --> 00:35:30,620
I've prepared the net

562
00:35:30,990 --> 00:35:31,830
and had it in place.

563
00:35:32,220 --> 00:35:33,390
I've heated the stove

564
00:35:33,580 --> 00:35:34,430
with the ingredients.

565
00:35:34,750 --> 00:35:35,700
We're waiting for you.

566
00:35:37,350 --> 00:35:38,310
The fish is in the net.

567
00:35:38,790 --> 00:35:39,630
We'll close the net

568
00:35:40,220 --> 00:35:41,060
and eat the fish.

569
00:35:42,830 --> 00:35:43,670
To Great Liang.

570
00:35:44,390 --> 00:35:45,580
To people in the 17 Prefectures.

571
00:35:48,220 --> 00:35:54,740
(Lotusborn Pavilion)

572
00:35:59,870 --> 00:36:00,870
- Prophet.
- Prophet.

573
00:36:01,540 --> 00:36:02,380
Hey, destined one.

574
00:36:03,580 --> 00:36:04,790
Won't you return the umbrella?

575
00:36:26,310 --> 00:36:27,620
Give this umbrella to the Prophet.

576
00:36:28,350 --> 00:36:29,660
Tell him Duan Shunxi came by.

577
00:36:30,700 --> 00:36:31,990
The destined one must return

578
00:36:31,990 --> 00:36:34,060
the Red Lotus Umbrella himself.

579
00:36:34,870 --> 00:36:35,790
This way, please.

580
00:37:12,140 --> 00:37:13,540
This place is impressive.

581
00:37:14,310 --> 00:37:15,310
It takes a lot of trouble

582
00:37:15,750 --> 00:37:17,100
to see you.

583
00:37:18,870 --> 00:37:20,700
One must let go of his worries

584
00:37:20,990 --> 00:37:22,790
before he finds peace in himself.

585
00:37:23,580 --> 00:37:24,470
Every step here

586
00:37:25,100 --> 00:37:26,390
will erase a lie.

587
00:37:27,180 --> 00:37:29,020
There are white lotuses
in the front pond

588
00:37:29,540 --> 00:37:31,180
and red lotuses
in the hidden inner pond.

589
00:37:32,140 --> 00:37:33,910
This pavilion divides this place

590
00:37:33,910 --> 00:37:35,350
just like dividing one's heart.

591
00:37:35,870 --> 00:37:37,020
One side is full of peace

592
00:37:37,500 --> 00:37:38,830
while the other is full of heat.

593
00:37:39,700 --> 00:37:41,470
But you've never believed in gods.

594
00:37:41,790 --> 00:37:43,350
Sorry to have you come

595
00:37:43,790 --> 00:37:45,140
to my Lotusborn Pavilion.

596
00:37:53,180 --> 00:37:54,620
Since you're here,

597
00:37:55,140 --> 00:37:56,830
ask me what has confused you.

598
00:37:57,950 --> 00:37:58,790
For example,

599
00:37:59,580 --> 00:38:01,060
what's the relationship

600
00:38:01,060 --> 00:38:02,620
between He Simu and me?

601
00:38:05,540 --> 00:38:06,620
Since you know what I want

602
00:38:06,910 --> 00:38:07,790
and you're prepared,

603
00:38:09,020 --> 00:38:09,870
tell me about it.

604
00:38:10,910 --> 00:38:11,750
You should know

605
00:38:12,660 --> 00:38:14,180
He Simu had four family members.

606
00:38:15,020 --> 00:38:16,620
Her parents, her aunt, and her uncle.

607
00:38:17,310 --> 00:38:18,150
I am

608
00:38:18,750 --> 00:38:20,020
the twentieth generation

609
00:38:20,020 --> 00:38:21,430
of her aunt and uncle.

610
00:38:22,350 --> 00:38:25,470
In private, I call her Great Ancestor.

611
00:38:28,990 --> 00:38:29,910
My parents died young.

612
00:38:30,250 --> 00:38:31,090
When I was little,

613
00:38:31,090 --> 00:38:32,660
she took care of me for a while.

614
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:34,580
She watched me grow up.

615
00:38:36,580 --> 00:38:38,100
Actually, I invited you here

616
00:38:38,750 --> 00:38:40,100
because I prepared a gift

617
00:38:40,100 --> 00:38:40,940
for your wedding.

618
00:38:42,470 --> 00:38:43,310
Ziji.

619
00:38:51,580 --> 00:38:52,470
(In the fifth month, spring ends)

620
00:38:52,830 --> 00:38:53,790
(and peonies fall.)

621
00:38:55,700 --> 00:38:56,540
Everyone knows

622
00:38:57,660 --> 00:38:58,660
Consort Yu loves peonies most.

623
00:39:01,270 --> 00:39:02,110
Are you saying

624
00:39:02,700 --> 00:39:03,540
the 5th prince...?

625
00:39:04,020 --> 00:39:05,750
I heard you have a photographic memory.

626
00:39:06,470 --> 00:39:07,750
So you don't need it again.

627
00:39:14,830 --> 00:39:15,870
Thank you for your help.

628
00:39:17,950 --> 00:39:19,180
Is this your gift?

629
00:39:20,220 --> 00:39:22,270
- Or...
- Great Ancestor never cares

630
00:39:22,270 --> 00:39:23,310
about politics.

631
00:39:23,540 --> 00:39:24,500
I'm the one

632
00:39:24,500 --> 00:39:25,340
who prepared this.

633
00:39:30,580 --> 00:39:31,580
But we're strangers.

634
00:39:32,350 --> 00:39:33,190
Why do you help me?

635
00:39:34,700 --> 00:39:36,060
I don't mean to help you.

636
00:39:37,620 --> 00:39:38,500
When I was little,

637
00:39:39,990 --> 00:39:41,020
I secretly found a journal

638
00:39:41,020 --> 00:39:42,310
of Great Ancestor.

639
00:39:43,500 --> 00:39:45,390
The one in that journal

640
00:39:46,310 --> 00:39:47,750
was totally different

641
00:39:48,350 --> 00:39:49,500
from what she is now.

642
00:39:51,220 --> 00:39:53,140
The young girl named He Simu

643
00:39:53,660 --> 00:39:54,500
was arrogant

644
00:39:55,390 --> 00:39:56,230
and spoiled.

645
00:39:58,020 --> 00:39:58,870
Her mother said

646
00:39:59,430 --> 00:40:00,870
red suited her best.

647
00:40:01,540 --> 00:40:02,470
So she made

648
00:40:02,470 --> 00:40:04,180
over a dozen red robes.

649
00:40:08,470 --> 00:40:10,020
She actually couldn't see colors.

650
00:40:15,180 --> 00:40:16,270
But she said she loved them.

651
00:40:19,100 --> 00:40:19,950
The journal was thick.

652
00:40:20,870 --> 00:40:22,220
It recorded

653
00:40:22,220 --> 00:40:23,180
small daily routines.

654
00:40:24,830 --> 00:40:25,670
About friends,

655
00:40:25,990 --> 00:40:26,830
about families,

656
00:40:27,470 --> 00:40:28,310
and about partners.

659
00:40:34,870 --> 00:40:36,140
One page said,

660
00:40:38,540 --> 00:40:39,380
"Father died.

661
00:40:39,990 --> 00:40:40,830
I'd return to the Spirit World."

♪I'd be a guest in a sweet dream♪

663
00:40:42,990 --> 00:40:44,430
Then nothing more was recorded.

664
00:40:46,910 --> 00:40:48,060
I used to think

665
00:40:48,060 --> 00:40:49,100
Great Ancestor was weird.

666
00:40:49,700 --> 00:40:50,910
But I couldn't tell

667
00:40:50,910 --> 00:40:51,950
what was weird about her.

668
00:40:52,950 --> 00:40:53,870
After reading that,

669
00:40:53,870 --> 00:40:55,020
I suddenly realized

670
00:40:55,500 --> 00:40:56,830
that time had long stopped

671
00:40:56,830 --> 00:40:57,950
for her.

672
00:40:58,390 --> 00:40:59,660
It stopped 300 years ago

673
00:40:59,660 --> 00:41:01,140
when her father passed away.

678
00:41:11,790 --> 00:41:12,990
her family members taught her

679
00:41:13,270 --> 00:41:14,750
and expected her to do.

680
00:41:17,620 --> 00:41:19,620
She's becoming unfamiliar

681
00:41:20,790 --> 00:41:21,870
with this changing world.

682
00:41:22,540 --> 00:41:23,380
She's angry

683
00:41:23,540 --> 00:41:24,380
and frustrated.

684
00:41:26,310 --> 00:41:27,180
Just like the journal

685
00:41:27,180 --> 00:41:28,830
that stopped abruptly.

686
00:41:29,660 --> 00:41:31,660

She only needed to be feared.

690
00:41:42,270 --> 00:41:43,430
She buried those she valued

691
00:41:43,910 --> 00:41:44,870
in the journal

692
00:41:44,870 --> 00:41:46,270
and froze everything in time.

693
00:41:47,540 --> 00:41:48,790
Over the past 300 years,

694
00:41:50,430 --> 00:41:51,750

I have another favor to ask.

00:42:40,830 --> 00:42:41,670
What is it?
