Please, let me explain.

00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,080
I-I swear I didn't ask Father
to send those geese.

6
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,080
I had no idea he was planning
to arrange this marriage.

7
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:23,980
I'm telling the truth.

If I'm lying,

may I be struck by lightning!

If it wasn't Your Highness's instruction,

11
00:02:30,860 --> 00:02:32,420
then it must have been His Majesty's will.

As long as it's something
you don't agree to,

I'll never force it upon you.

How about this?

No.

20
00:02:39,950 --> 00:02:41,160
I'll go see Father right away,

clear things up,

22
00:02:41,950 --> 00:02:42,980

00:02:42,980 --> 00:02:43,760
alright?

24
00:02:45,230 --> 00:02:46,040
Okay.

25
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,360
Then I'll leave it to Your Highness.

the Five-Flavored Tea of Forgetfulness,

so that in her next life,

she can have an eye for some truly
good and worthy guys.

Those "good guys" you speak of

121
00:06:54,670 --> 00:06:56,550
Didn't His Highness just say

122
00:06:56,860 --> 00:06:58,040
this is a family gathering,

123
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,060
and there's no need for formalities?

124
00:06:59,060 --> 00:07:00,740
Why talk about manners?

125
00:07:02,840 --> 00:07:04,280
Don't go too far.

Don't you know that

129

the guy Yiting fell for is

130
00:07:11,550 --> 00:07:14,280

Today is the homecoming banquet for
Yimeng and His Highness.

Do you have to make everyone
uncomfortable?

134
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,420
Am I making everyone uncomfortable?

135
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:24,600
Have you forgotten

136
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,160
how badly they hurt you
in that shabby room

137

Well,

141
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,600
about what happened at Zijin Pavilion,

142
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,040
I was indeed in the wrong.

143
00:07:37,180 --> 00:07:38,520
I'd like to take this opportunity

144
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:39,400
to apologize to the Song family

145
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,280
and to Miss Song Yiting.

146
00:07:41,620 --> 00:07:43,480
If anyone in the Song Residence
has any needs in the future,

147
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:44,400
please don't hesitate to ask.

148
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:45,980
I'll certainly make amends.

149
00:07:45,980 --> 00:07:46,840
You're too kind.

150
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:47,360
It's nothing.

151
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:47,800
It's only right.

152
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,110
How could we possibly deserve
such a grand gesture?

153
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:51,180
Your Highness, that subordinate of yours,
Shangguan He,

154
00:07:51,180 --> 00:07:53,360
is still shamelessly hanging around our
Song family now.

155
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,110
If he hadn't been leading our Yiting on,

156
00:07:55,110 --> 00:07:55,980
would her marriage prospects

157
00:07:55,980 --> 00:07:57,550
be in such a state now?

158
00:07:57,740 --> 00:07:59,280
Would we have offended His Majesty

159
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:00,800
and the Eighteenth Prince?

160
00:08:01,420 --> 00:08:03,550
Mother, please stop making
baseless accusations.

161
00:08:03,550 --> 00:08:05,860
Not marrying the Eighteenth Prince
was my decision.

162
00:08:05,860 --> 00:08:07,360
It has nothing to do with His Highness

163
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:08,040
and Shangguan He!

164
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,160
Even so,

165
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,180
Your Highness still owes our Song family

166
00:08:11,180 --> 00:08:12,480
an explanation.

167
00:08:12,980 --> 00:08:14,720
If you truly feel sorry,

168
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,860
you should send your subordinate
Shangguan He

169
00:08:16,860 --> 00:08:18,670
back to Jiangnan immediately,

170
00:08:18,670 --> 00:08:20,800
so none of us ever have to see him again.

171
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,360
Your Highness.

172
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,180

If he truly has no feelings for her,

he should just tell her directly,

it's because he wants
to protect your sister.

Then why weren't you afraid that
you couldn't give me a future,

00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,240
we'll roll with the punches

344
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,430
and deal with everything as it happens.

345
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:39,780
You don't understand.

346
00:15:39,780 --> 00:15:41,400
If we've truly changed the plot,

347
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,550
it means all the information I had

348
00:15:43,550 --> 00:15:44,940
has become meaningless.

349
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:46,940
Without the cheat code,

350
00:15:47,220 --> 00:15:48,680
how can we change our fate?

351
00:15:51,700 --> 00:15:52,550
Don't worry.

352
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,000
Don't forget,

353
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,340
the part where we were supposed
to stab each other on our wedding day

354
00:15:56,340 --> 00:15:58,300
was successfully prevented, wasn't it?

355
00:15:58,300 --> 00:15:59,120
So you see,

356
00:15:59,420 --> 00:16:01,890
what changes our fate isn't
some cheat code,

357
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:02,820
but you and I.

358
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:07,060
But...

359
00:16:07,060 --> 00:16:07,870
In the future,

360
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,040
no matter what happens,

361
00:16:10,340 --> 00:16:12,070
I'll face it together with you.

362
00:16:26,180 --> 00:16:29,870
[The Late Empress's Residence,
Fengyi Palace]

363
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,760
I never thought that after years of
searching for the truth,

364
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,070
the culprit was right before our eyes.

365
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:33,640
Gao Changyin

366
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,000
has been hiding his true nature so well.

367
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:38,800
By the way, Your Majesty,

368
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,800
why did you appoint the Seventh Prince
as crown prince?

369
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:42,720
Uncle.

370
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,700
Heng is actually quite a decent person.

371
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,670
In the end, it was thanks to
his placing justice above family ties

372
00:16:47,670 --> 00:16:48,760
and exposing Gao Changyin

373
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,020
that the Qianyu Army's name was cleared.

374
00:16:51,060 --> 00:16:51,880
Besides,

375
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,280
I have neither the desire

376
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,200
nor the ability to be crown prince.

377
00:16:55,300 --> 00:16:56,280
It was perfectly reasonable for Father

378
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:57,670
to name him crown prince.

379
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:58,640
Uncle.

380
00:16:59,670 --> 00:17:02,060
The court has finally found peace.

381
00:17:03,060 --> 00:17:04,670
And regarding Guihong's attempt
to assassinate Heng,

382
00:17:04,670 --> 00:17:06,420
Heng has agreed
not to pursue this matter further.

383
00:17:06,420 --> 00:17:07,160
Let's just

384
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,920
call it even, shall we?

385
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,980
After my brush with death,

386
00:17:22,140 --> 00:17:24,620
I've come to terms with many things.

387
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:28,520
Guihong.

388
00:17:29,380 --> 00:17:31,060
Today, before your Aunt's memorial,

389
00:17:31,060 --> 00:17:32,520
don't you think you should

390
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,520
formally apologize to His Majesty?

391
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,240
Your Majesty, please forgive me.

392
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,600
I should have remained at my border post,

393
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:45,820
yet I abandoned my duty

394
00:17:45,820 --> 00:17:47,640
and rashly attempted
to assassinate His Highness.

395
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,100
My crime is unforgivable.

396
00:17:50,060 --> 00:17:51,240
I beg Your Majesty

397
00:17:51,620 --> 00:17:52,480
to consider the Chu family's

398
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,060
years of loyal service guarding
the Great Jing's borders

399
00:17:55,060 --> 00:17:56,480
and grant me another chance.

400
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:57,820
I will certainly redeem myself

401
00:17:57,820 --> 00:18:00,240
and serve the Great Jing
through fire and water

402
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,440
without hesitation.

403
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:08,720
Chu Guihong.

404
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:11,990
You were once Yurong's most beloved child.

405
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,030
When it comes down to it,

406
00:18:14,140 --> 00:18:15,860
the conflict between you and Heng

407
00:18:15,860 --> 00:18:18,520
all stems from old grudges.

408
00:18:20,550 --> 00:18:23,200
Now that Lord Qianyu has returned
to the capital,

409
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,340
I have no wish to keep you two apart.

410
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:27,870
You may remain in the capital

411
00:18:27,900 --> 00:18:30,060
for the time being.

412
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:33,280
Thank you, Your Majesty.

413
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:33,900
However,

414
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,120
if you dare show disrespect to
my Crown Prince again,

415
00:18:39,860 --> 00:18:40,970
you won't be so lucky

416
00:18:40,970 --> 00:18:43,660
next time.

417
00:18:58,100 --> 00:18:59,300
I wasn't wrong, was I?

418
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,520
His Majesty is totally lovestruck,

419
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:02,300
and Nan Rui

420
00:19:02,300 --> 00:19:03,520
is just brainless.

421
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,060
As long as you show your loyalty,

422
00:19:05,060 --> 00:19:06,100
all past transgressions

423
00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:07,580
can surely be wiped clean.

424
00:19:09,860 --> 00:19:11,320
Others are easy to manage,

425
00:19:11,580 --> 00:19:12,680
but as for Nan Heng,

426
00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:16,490
given how far things have deteriorated
between us,

427
00:19:16,490 --> 00:19:17,970
truly clearing the grudges

428
00:19:17,970 --> 00:19:19,160
and earning his trust

429
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,040
won't be so easy, I'm afraid.

430
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:22,440
Son,

431
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:25,580
why should you worry?

432
00:19:25,580 --> 00:19:26,960
I'm here, aren't I?

433
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,740
At tonight's banquet,

434
00:19:28,820 --> 00:19:29,620
I'll make sure

435
00:19:30,340 --> 00:19:32,800
to help you smooth things over
with Nan Heng.

436
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:45,520
Uncle.

437
00:19:46,060 --> 00:19:47,900
You've had a hard time out there lately.

438
00:19:47,900 --> 00:19:49,900
Have more meat to nourish yourself.

439
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:01,650
Your Highness.

440
00:20:02,380 --> 00:20:03,720
I must apologize to you.

441
00:20:03,860 --> 00:20:05,100
On Your Highness's joyous day,

442
00:20:05,100 --> 00:20:06,440
I caused a disturbance.

443
00:20:06,900 --> 00:20:08,300
Though Your Highness,
magnanimous as ever,

444
00:20:08,300 --> 00:20:09,680
did not hold me accountable,

445
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,680
I still feel deeply ashamed.

446
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,340
I'll punish myself with this drink.

447
00:20:14,340 --> 00:20:16,300
Thank you for your magnanimity,
Your Highness,

448
00:20:16,300 --> 00:20:18,510
and for not holding the past against me.

449
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,000
You see, I told you before,

450
00:20:27,030 --> 00:20:28,240
Heng is magnanimous

451
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,560
and not someone who holds grudges, right?

452
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:34,400
Lord Qianyu.

453
00:20:36,100 --> 00:20:37,210
There's something

454
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,240
I've been puzzling over.

455
00:20:43,140 --> 00:20:44,950
Please go ahead, Your Highness.

456
00:20:46,140 --> 00:20:47,890
When Pingrong City fell,

457
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,880
not even a small bird could fly out.

458
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,060
How did you manage to escape?

459
00:20:56,300 --> 00:20:58,260
I remember when the city fell,

460
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,760
I intended to protect our banner
and fight to the last moment.

461
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,020
However, several Deputy Generals
knocked me unconscious,

462
00:21:04,020 --> 00:21:06,320
put on my armor to impersonate me,

463
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,480
and dressed me in Heyuan Army's armor,

464
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,320
hiding me among their dead.

465
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:11,240
I

466
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,250
only survived because of this.

467
00:21:14,100 --> 00:21:15,660
After escaping from Pingrong,

468
00:21:15,660 --> 00:21:17,620
why did you not come to rendezvous with me

469
00:21:17,620 --> 00:21:20,380
and choose to run for your life instead?

470
00:21:21,820 --> 00:21:24,300
I had deep misunderstanding
about Your Highness before,

471
00:21:24,300 --> 00:21:25,410
even suspecting

472
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,070
you were behind the defeat
of Pingrong battle.

473
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,000
So of course, I was reluctant to seek out
the Xuanjia Army.

474
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,240
Then after the Xuanjia Army
returned to the capital,

475
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,440
why didn't you come back
to report to His Majesty?

476
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:36,720
Did you not trust

477
00:21:37,550 --> 00:21:38,680
His Majesty either?

478
00:21:40,580 --> 00:21:41,800
During those days,

479
00:21:42,380 --> 00:21:44,800
I wandered through the countryside,

480
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,540
and whenever I thought of
the 20,000 soldiers who died,

481
00:21:48,550 --> 00:21:50,900
I wanted to take my own life to atone.

482
00:21:51,340 --> 00:21:53,380
But I still have my son, Guihong,

483
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:54,820
who lost his mother at a young age

484
00:21:54,820 --> 00:21:56,300
and has no siblings.

485
00:21:56,380 --> 00:21:58,580
How could I leave him with peace of mind?

486
00:21:58,860 --> 00:21:59,680
For his sake,

487
00:22:00,340 --> 00:22:02,800
I forced myself to carry on,

488
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,240
fleeing to the outskirts of the capital

489
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,890
to find an opportunity
to reunite with Guihong.

490
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:11,720
As parents,

491
00:22:11,820 --> 00:22:13,240
this is all we care about.

492
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:14,310
Chu Li.

493
00:22:14,820 --> 00:22:15,300
Here.

494
00:22:15,820 --> 00:22:16,820
I understand you.

495
00:22:18,900 --> 00:22:20,300
Thank you, Your Majesty.

496
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:28,810
Your Highness.

497
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,100
I know

498
00:22:30,380 --> 00:22:32,820
the Chu family and Your Highness
have been entangled for years,

499
00:22:32,820 --> 00:22:34,440
with deep misunderstandings between us.

500
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:35,860
I have no intention of

501
00:22:35,860 --> 00:22:38,000
threatening Your Highness upon my return.

502
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,040
I hope Your Highness can
put aside past grievances.

503
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:40,720
From now on,

504
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,240
I will serve with utmost loyalty

505
00:22:43,340 --> 00:22:45,620
and work together with Your Highness

506
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,000
to defend our state.

507
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,050
Lord Qianyu, you jest.

508
00:22:51,340 --> 00:22:53,580
Junior General and I
share the same banner.

509
00:22:53,580 --> 00:22:55,380
We'll certainly put aside past grievances

510

as soon as possible.

00:30:47,300 --> 00:30:48,560
So you did get it.

680
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,090
Then why aren't you showing any reaction?

681
00:30:52,550 --> 00:30:54,800
He knows the entire plot.

682
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,260
He's basically cheating.

683
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:58,440
If you ask me,

684
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,760
you should quickly prepare
some valuable gifts

685
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,240
and pay a visit to the Qianyu Mansion.

686
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:03,140
You should know,

687
00:31:03,140 --> 00:31:05,100
actors who offend the screenwriter

688
00:31:05,100 --> 00:31:06,440
never end up well.

689
00:31:08,820 --> 00:31:10,220
Let me ask you,

690
00:31:10,580 --> 00:31:12,580
do you know why he came here?

691
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,110
Have you noticed anything unusual lately?

692
00:31:27,340 --> 00:31:28,480
And have you heard

693
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:29,720
that so-called

694
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,260
keyboard sound again?

695
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:37,040
No.

696
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:39,620
Well, if nothing's unusual,

697
00:31:39,620 --> 00:31:41,040
and the rules of this world

698
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,550
have already been broken by us,

699
00:31:42,550 --> 00:31:44,340
then there's no need to fear him.

700
00:31:44,620 --> 00:31:46,950
Even if he created everything
from outside,

701
00:31:46,950 --> 00:31:47,910
in here,

702
00:31:48,100 --> 00:31:49,860
the plot has already changed.

703
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,100
Therefore, the one who should be worried

704
00:31:51,100 --> 00:31:52,380
and can't sit still right now

705
00:31:52,380 --> 00:31:53,380
is him, not us.

706
00:31:58,820 --> 00:32:00,300
So according to you,

707
00:32:00,300 --> 00:32:01,300
Mr. Screenwriter

708
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,600
should even come curry favor with you?

709
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,550
That might actually happen.

710
00:32:07,140 --> 00:32:07,960
Oh, you.

711
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:09,340
Remember,

712
00:32:09,340 --> 00:32:10,960
you're just a fictional character,

713
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,280
not a producer.

714
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,550
So stop being so arrogant, okay?

715
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:19,300
Your Highness,

716
00:32:19,620 --> 00:32:20,760
Lord Qianyu is here.

717
00:32:21,860 --> 00:32:22,930
What did I tell you?

718
00:32:24,060 --> 00:32:25,580
Let's go meet this

719
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:27,240
Mr.

720
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:28,610
Screenwriter.

721
00:32:29,430 --> 00:32:39,280
[Jize Palace]

722
00:32:34,380 --> 00:32:36,240
You've even come out
to greet me personally.

723
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:37,040
Come on,

724
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:37,720
bring the gifts inside.

725
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,720
So you really guessed it right?

726
00:32:39,820 --> 00:32:41,760
He really is here to win your favor?

727
00:32:48,550 --> 00:32:49,480
Your Highness.

728
00:32:50,050 --> 00:32:51,340
I'm new here

729
00:32:51,340 --> 00:32:52,300
and don't understand many of the rules.

730
00:32:52,300 --> 00:32:53,440
You have to help me.

731
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,040
So the gifts...

732
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:55,970
They're for you.

733
00:32:56,580 --> 00:32:57,440
And if these aren't enough,

734
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,630
there's plenty more at Qianyu Mansion.

735
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:13,760
What are you looking at?

736
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,150
Got nothing better to do?

737
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:16,280
With so many strangers going in,

738
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:17,800
don't you know to stop them?

739
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,770
[Cultivate Virtue and Pursue Knowledge]

740
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:25,040
Hey, Xiaoyu.

741
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,090
He looks exactly like Nan Feng.

742
00:33:28,340 --> 00:33:30,440
Even that stuck-up celebrity attitude

743
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,760
seems like they were cut
from the same cloth.

744
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,040
You and Lord Qianyu

745
00:33:34,060 --> 00:33:35,800
are quite different, however.

746
00:33:35,860 --> 00:33:37,620
Lord Qianyu didn't eat venison,

747
00:33:37,620 --> 00:33:39,430
and his behavior was dignified,

748
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,960
unlike you, who are so frivolous and rude.

749
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:44,960
He knows everything?

750
00:33:46,380 --> 00:33:46,950
You...

751
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,840
We're husband and wife.

752
00:33:49,900 --> 00:33:52,140
What secrets could there be between us?

753
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,630
But none of that matters now.

754
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,720
Let's just get straight to the point.

755
00:33:57,860 --> 00:33:59,010
Mr. Screenwriter,

756
00:33:59,300 --> 00:34:01,540
how exactly did you time-travel here?

757
00:34:04,100 --> 00:34:06,000
It was all thanks to you two.

758
00:34:06,580 --> 00:34:07,960
I've been pulling my hair out every day

759
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,340
just to squeeze out a tiny bit
of final draft,

760
00:34:10,340 --> 00:34:11,240
yet you two have been

761
00:34:11,240 --> 00:34:13,710
changing it all inexplicably the next day.

762
00:34:13,860 --> 00:34:14,820
At first, I didn't know

763
00:34:14,820 --> 00:34:16,080
and didn't believe it,

764
00:34:16,140 --> 00:34:17,300
so I kept writing,

765
00:34:17,300 --> 00:34:18,380
and you kept changing it.

766
00:34:18,380 --> 00:34:19,200
I write,

767
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:19,800
you change.

768
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:20,200
Write,

769
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:20,800
change.

770
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,200
Now the drama's about to start shooting.

771
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,560
How am I supposed to explain this
to the client?

772
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:25,390
Am I supposed to tell them that

773
00:34:25,390 --> 00:34:26,510
the male and female leads
aren't cooperating

774
00:34:26,510 --> 00:34:28,160
and keep changing the script?

775
00:34:28,350 --> 00:34:29,310
Or should I tell them

776
00:34:29,310 --> 00:34:32,160
the female lead has time-traveled
into the script?

777
00:34:36,390 --> 00:34:38,120
In the end, I ran out of options,

778
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:39,280
so I wrote a story

779
00:34:39,310 --> 00:34:41,680
about the screenwriter
traveling into the script,

780
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,470
just to see what would happen.

781
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:45,870
Unexpectedly, I dozed off that night,

782
00:34:45,870 --> 00:34:47,530
and when I woke up the next day,

783
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:49,990
I was actually here. Can you believe it?

784
00:34:51,720 --> 00:34:53,910
So you wrote yourself into this world.

785
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,160
But I have to admit that
your time-traveling method

786
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,280
is a bit more sophisticated than mine.

787
00:34:59,720 --> 00:35:01,100
So you came here

788
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:02,930
to restore the original plot?

789
00:35:07,720 --> 00:35:08,560
I...

790
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,240
I believe Your Highness

791
00:35:16,260 --> 00:35:18,870
wouldn't let that kind of thing
happen, right?

792
00:35:19,300 --> 00:35:20,030
Well...

793
00:35:20,050 --> 00:35:21,100
By the way, Xiaoyu,

794
00:35:21,240 --> 00:35:22,160
enough about me.

795
00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:24,160
Have you gotten used to being here?

796
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:25,870
I'm doing fine here.

797
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,720
There are carriages and houses here,

798
00:35:28,720 --> 00:35:29,850
and there's no smog.

799
00:35:29,990 --> 00:35:31,560
And I even managed

800
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,560
to snag a boyfriend while I was at it.

801
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:44,950
Really?

802
00:35:46,140 --> 00:35:48,390
Is this more delicious than
the Starbucks afternoon tea?

803
00:35:48,390 --> 00:35:49,200
Well,

804
00:35:49,310 --> 00:35:50,640
each has its own merits.

805
00:35:52,450 --> 00:35:54,720
Can that thing provide warmth
like modern underfloor heating?

806
00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:56,120
I won't freeze to death here anyway.

807
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:56,910
It's fine.

808
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:00,740
There's no water heater for bathing here,

809
00:36:00,740 --> 00:36:02,470
no automatic toilets in the bathroom,

810
00:36:02,470 --> 00:36:04,510
and you can't even scroll through
your phone before bed.

811
00:36:04,510 --> 00:36:05,720
What kind of life is this?

812
00:36:05,720 --> 00:36:07,720
It's like living as an ascetic monk.

813
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,800
"Dream of Qingning" will start shooting
at the end of the month.

814
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,780
It's definitely a top-tier production.

815
00:36:16,950 --> 00:36:17,870
I'm telling you,

816
00:36:17,910 --> 00:36:19,390
if you were in the modern world,

817
00:36:19,390 --> 00:36:22,240
you'd definitely be the next
hit-leading actress.

818
00:36:22,310 --> 00:36:24,600
Lord Qianyu, are you implying something?

819
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:25,390
No, I'm not.

820
00:36:25,990 --> 00:36:27,080
How to live

821
00:36:27,470 --> 00:36:29,030
and where to settle down

822
00:36:29,470 --> 00:36:31,200
are Song Yimeng's own choices.

823
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,410
If you have ulterior motives,

824
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,200
I'll be the first to object.

825
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:38,800
Which eye of yours saw

826
00:36:39,240 --> 00:36:40,890
that I have ulterior motives?

827
00:36:41,470 --> 00:36:42,530
Then let me ask you,

828
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,390
what brought you here today?

829
00:36:44,470 --> 00:36:45,680
To visit a hometown folk.

830
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:46,600
Visit a hometown folk,

831
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,680
yet criticize their way of life like that?

832
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,600
Can't I, as a modern person,
make a few complaints?

833
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,350
I think you're just being sarcastic

834
00:36:52,350 --> 00:36:53,950
with malicious intentions!

835
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:54,950
You're just over-interpreting

Alright, alright.

Stop arguing.

I understand

all your concerns.

Mr. Screenwriter,

I've figured out
what you're getting at too.

Come on.

847
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:08,970
Come out with me for a bit.

[Achieve Great Ambitions]

849
00:37:23,430 --> 00:37:24,760
Let me have a sip of that herbal tea.

850
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,080
Last night, His Lordship
made me bow to him

851
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:28,430
for four hours,

852
00:37:28,430 --> 00:37:30,510
and insisted I address him
with genuine feeling in every word.

853
00:37:30,510 --> 00:37:31,560
This morning when I woke up,

854
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:32,990
my throat was on fire.

855
00:37:33,510 --> 00:37:35,560
That's nothing compared to my situation.

856
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,200
Yesterday, His Lordship made me
hold a horse stance

857
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,660
for the entire afternoon,

858
00:37:38,830 --> 00:37:41,720
saying something about experiencing
the strength of the Qianyu Army.

859
00:37:41,720 --> 00:37:42,830
This morning when I got up,

860
00:37:42,830 --> 00:37:44,950
my legs were shaking uncontrollably.

861
00:37:46,240 --> 00:37:47,260
What are you doing?

862
00:37:47,260 --> 00:37:48,530
What are you all doing?

863
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,700
Don't you have anything better to do?

864
00:37:51,510 --> 00:37:52,760
Now that we're not at war,

865
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,760
you've even forgotten
how to train yourselves, huh?

866
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,160
Go run ten laps
around the training ground!

867
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:58,080
Let's go.

868
00:38:02,910 --> 00:38:03,720
General.

869
00:38:04,240 --> 00:38:05,490
I've failed in my duty.

870
00:38:05,950 --> 00:38:07,720
Our men like to make

871
00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:09,950
silly jokes during their free time.

872
00:38:10,350 --> 00:38:12,010
Please don't take it to heart.

873
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,080
Do you know which of them

874
00:38:17,720 --> 00:38:19,470
witnessed my father's death in battle

875
00:38:19,470 --> 00:38:21,660
from the Pingrong City Tower back then?

876
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,950
Why would you ask
such a question, General?

877
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,010
There are some matters

878
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:32,850
I've always had doubts about.

879
00:38:33,240 --> 00:38:34,030
Rong Hua,

880
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,470
I want you
to investigate something for me.

881
00:38:45,310 --> 00:38:46,240
Let me ask you,

882
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,510
did you come to
the Crown Prince's Residence

883
00:38:48,510 --> 00:38:50,120
to take me back with you?

884
00:38:50,350 --> 00:38:51,160
That's right.

885
00:38:51,310 --> 00:38:52,950
I wanted to talk to you alone,

886
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:54,760
but I didn't expect Nan Heng to be here,

887
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,760
so I couldn't speak plainly.

888
00:38:58,030 --> 00:38:58,990
What do you mean?

889
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:00,740
Are you saying

890
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:02,510
you know how to get back?

891
00:39:02,510 --> 00:39:03,280
Of course.

892
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:05,240
Who am I?

893
00:39:05,430 --> 00:39:06,350
I'm the screenwriter.

894
00:39:06,350 --> 00:39:08,030
I set all the rules here.

895
00:39:08,240 --> 00:39:09,100
Let me tell you,

896
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,120
the script world has four...

897
00:39:13,430 --> 00:39:14,680
Three rules.

898
00:39:15,310 --> 00:39:17,430
Besides the hero always saving the heroine
when she's in danger,

899
00:39:17,430 --> 00:39:19,120
and the iconic scenes must happen,

900
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:20,350
there's one more rule:

901
00:39:20,350 --> 00:39:23,470
once we complete all the iconic scenes
until the finale,

902
00:39:23,510 --> 00:39:24,720
we can get back.

903
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:30,870
I see.

904
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,200
You want me to help you complete

905
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:34,390
the city tower choice scene,

906
00:39:34,390 --> 00:39:35,160
and also go through

907
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:36,560
the scenes where I become a human pig,

908
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:37,240
right?

909
00:39:38,390 --> 00:39:39,470
Smart.

910
00:39:40,470 --> 00:39:41,830
But if you're afraid of pain,

911
00:39:41,830 --> 00:39:44,490
I can have Zhao prepare
some anesthetic for you.

912
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,220
The doctor who saved Nan Heng's life.

913
00:39:49,030 --> 00:39:51,080
But if we follow the original plot,

914
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:52,390
the entire Song family will be executed.

915
00:39:52,390 --> 00:39:53,310
Do you know that?

916
00:39:54,010 --> 00:39:55,430
What Song family or Li family?

917
00:39:55,430 --> 00:39:57,430
They're all just fictional characters.

918
00:39:57,430 --> 00:39:58,240
You...

919
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:00,390
What?

920
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:06,390
Nothing.

921
00:40:09,950 --> 00:40:11,350
So what if

922
00:40:11,950 --> 00:40:13,800
we don't follow the original plot?

923
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:14,800
What will happen?

924
00:40:16,830 --> 00:40:19,560
Then we'll be trapped here forever.

925
00:40:19,580 --> 00:40:21,310
I won't become a top-tier screenwriter,

926
00:40:21,310 --> 00:40:22,760
and your dream of becoming an actress

927
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,810
will shatter like broken glass, too.

928
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,430
Alright, that's fine.

929
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,680
As long as this world doesn't collapse.

930
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,010
What do you mean "fine"?

931
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,030
Do you really want to stay here

932
00:40:40,030 --> 00:40:42,160
and be the God of Death's beloved wife?

933
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:45,260
Listen carefully,

934
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,200
Nan Heng is not some God of Death,

935
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:48,310
and I'm not that

936
00:40:48,310 --> 00:40:49,720
love-obsessed Song Yimeng
from your writing.

937
00:40:49,720 --> 00:40:51,240
I'm very happy with this world,

938
00:40:51,240 --> 00:40:52,430
and I won't go back with you.

939
00:40:52,430 --> 00:40:53,510
You've gone crazy!

940
00:40:55,430 --> 00:40:56,800
He's put a spell on you.

941
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,330
Don't forget he's going to kill you
in the end.

942
00:41:00,350 --> 00:41:01,470
I know.

943
00:41:01,990 --> 00:41:03,240
At first,

944
00:41:03,390 --> 00:41:04,830
he did want to kill me,

945
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:06,950
but everything is different now.

946
00:41:06,950 --> 00:41:08,510
The keyboard sounds have disappeared,

947
00:41:08,510 --> 00:41:10,870
and he's already broken free from
his original character design.

948
00:41:10,870 --> 00:41:11,760
How could he hurt me

949
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,080
or harm the Song family?

950
00:41:13,310 --> 00:41:15,120
This is just a fictional world.

951
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:16,160
The sky is fake,

952
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:16,870
the ground is fake,

00:41:16,870 --> 00:41:18,310
everything here is completely fake,

as well as our bodies.

00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:20,680
Wake up, will you?

956
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:23,800
Fine.

957
00:41:26,310 --> 00:41:27,390
What are you doing?

958
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:29,640
Does it hurt, Mr. Screenwriter?

959
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:30,310
Of course it does!

960
00:41:30,310 --> 00:41:31,510
Good, it should hurt.

961
00:41:32,510 --> 00:41:33,390
Let me tell you,

962
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,720
from the moment you entered this world,

963
00:41:35,720 --> 00:41:37,240
this entire world became real.

964
00:41:37,240 --> 00:41:37,950
The sky is real,

00:41:37,950 --> 00:41:38,640
the ground is real,

966
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:39,640
everything is real,

967
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,510
as well as our bodies.

968
00:41:41,510 --> 00:41:42,240
Understand?

969
00:41:42,510 --> 00:41:43,430
Why are you copying what I said?

970
00:41:43,430 --> 00:41:44,200
Be quiet.

971
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:45,890
I haven't finished yet.

972
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:48,760
You're right.

973
00:41:48,990 --> 00:41:50,240
Outside the script,

974
00:41:50,350 --> 00:41:51,760
you are indeed the creator
who makes the rules

975

and commands the world.

976

But in this world,

977
00:41:55,310 --> 00:41:56,640
you're just a rookie.

978

Instead of trying to convince me,

979
00:41:58,030 --> 00:42:00,510
why not let me, your senior,

980
00:42:00,720 --> 00:42:02,640
show you what this real world is like,

[Achieve Great Ambitions]

984
00:42:15,470 --> 00:42:16,330
Your Highness,

985
00:42:16,470 --> 00:42:17,600
something terrible has happened!

986
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:18,510
Her Highness and Lord Qianyu

987
00:42:18,510 --> 00:42:20,350
were whispering to each other
for quite a while,

988
00:42:20,350 --> 00:42:22,640
and she even said she wants to take him
to Waning River Crescent for a visit.

989
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,100
To Waning River Crescent?

990
00:42:24,470 --> 00:42:25,510
The Crown Princess said that?

991
00:42:25,510 --> 00:42:26,240
Yes.

992
00:42:26,720 --> 00:42:27,990
And she asked me to tell Your Highness

993
00:42:27,990 --> 00:42:29,240
not to worry at all.

994
00:42:29,310 --> 00:42:30,640
How can you not worry?

995
00:42:30,830 --> 00:42:33,120
Back then, the engagement between
Her Highness and Chu Guihong

996
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:34,950
was arranged by Lord Qianyu himself.

997
00:42:34,950 --> 00:42:36,910
What if he's now trying
to steal Her Highness away

998
00:42:36,910 --> 00:42:38,760
to rekindle her relationship
with Chu Guihong?

999
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:40,010
What should we do then?

1000
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:42,660
Your Highness?

1001
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:43,760
Are you alright, Your Highness?

1002

Are you okay?

00:42:44,950 --> 00:42:45,600
Please sit.

ever since you got married,

1006
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,030
your health has weakened.

1007
00:42:53,030 --> 00:42:54,760
You should moderate yourself.

1008
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:58,560
Your Highness, why are you
coughing up blood?

1009
00:42:58,560 --> 00:42:59,510
I'll go fetch the imperial physician!

1010

Wait!

1011

Keep this quiet.
