[Episode 37]

3
00:02:14,670 --> 00:02:15,800
Wait for me outside.

4
00:02:15,810 --> 00:02:17,060
Yes, Your Highness.

5
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:19,670
Xiaoyu, you're here.

6
00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:20,510
Come, come, come,

7
00:02:20,510 --> 00:02:21,510
have a seat.

8
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:22,760
His Majesty was poisoned,

9
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,010
and Nan Rui was framed—

10
00:02:24,260 --> 00:02:26,510
these were all your doing, weren't they?

11
00:02:26,510 --> 00:02:28,570
You actually harmed innocent people

12
00:02:28,700 --> 00:02:31,230
just to make the iconic scenes
happen sooner.

13
00:02:34,490 --> 00:02:36,330
If a man wants to fill his belly,

14
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,260
he must plant crops in the fields.

15
00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:40,390
As spring turns to autumn,

16
00:02:41,110 --> 00:02:42,870
seeds grow into fruit

17
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:44,320
and are eventually harvested.

18
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,850
This is the way of the world.

19
00:02:46,510 --> 00:02:47,920
Just like this sweet potato—

20
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:49,330
do you feel cruel

21
00:02:49,510 --> 00:02:50,760
when you eat it?

22
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,670
So, in your eyes, human lives

23
00:02:54,110 --> 00:02:55,910
are no more than sweet potatoes?

24
00:02:56,110 --> 00:02:57,480
You really are absurd.

25
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:58,390
They're just a bunch of

26
00:02:58,390 --> 00:03:00,700
fictional characters I created myself.

27
00:03:01,230 --> 00:03:02,420
How much more precious

28
00:03:02,420 --> 00:03:03,870
can their lives be
than this sweet potato...

29
00:03:03,870 --> 00:03:05,600
Even if they're just fictional characters,

30
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,450
you created them yourself.

31
00:03:07,550 --> 00:03:08,980
Didn't you invest your emotions

32
00:03:08,980 --> 00:03:10,360
and effort?

33
00:03:12,510 --> 00:03:13,830
On a screen,

34
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:15,390
they're nothing more than

35
00:03:15,390 --> 00:03:18,110
lines of code—easily edited
and deleted at will.

36
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,450
Today I kill one emperor,

37
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,320
and tomorrow I can write 100,

38
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,110
1,000,

39
00:03:23,110 --> 00:03:24,040
or 10,000.

40
00:03:24,950 --> 00:03:26,010
Song Xiaoyu,

41
00:03:26,390 --> 00:03:28,980
you're the one who's
never been clear-headed.

42
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,640
How are the people in this world

43
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:31,480
any different from the Barbie dolls

44
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,230
you grew tired of as a child?

45
00:03:33,510 --> 00:03:34,510
They're all fake.

46
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,920
I really misjudged you.

47
00:03:41,610 --> 00:03:43,330
In the real world,

48
00:03:43,420 --> 00:03:45,040
you're a crap screenwriter who doesn't

49
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,550
cherish the characters you create.

50
00:03:46,550 --> 00:03:47,610
And here,

51
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:49,700
you're just a lunatic who kills
innocent people!

52
00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:50,550
So what?

53
00:03:51,550 --> 00:03:52,480
I have the power to kill

54
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:53,800
and the power to save.

55
00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:57,680
Do you want to know

56
00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,800
how Nan Heng got sick?

57
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:03,160
Wasn't it...

58
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,080
you who poisoned him?

59
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,320
Me? Poison him?

60
00:04:08,610 --> 00:04:10,160
I wouldn't bother

61
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,480
with such dirty tricks.

62
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,390
Do you really think

63
00:04:13,830 --> 00:04:14,830
those three rules I told you

64
00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:17,110
are the only ones in this scripted world?

65
00:04:19,730 --> 00:04:20,760
Let me tell you,

66
00:04:20,770 --> 00:04:21,800
in this scripted world,

67
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:22,800
there are four...

68
00:04:24,830 --> 00:04:26,520
there are three rules.

69
00:04:26,630 --> 00:04:28,190
There are other rules?

70
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,160
They're related to Nan Heng's illness?

71
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,040
Didn't he tell you the truth?

72
00:04:35,740 --> 00:04:36,420
Fine.

73
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,060
Then I'll tell you.

74
00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:40,210
The fourth rule is

75
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,160
that those who change the iconic scenes

76
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,550
will suffer backlash.

77
00:04:47,780 --> 00:04:48,860
Nan Heng...

78
00:04:51,110 --> 00:04:52,480
What will happen to him?

79
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,180
If the plot continues to deviate
from its original course,

80
00:04:56,180 --> 00:04:58,160
he'll only grow weaker and weaker

81
00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,550
until he dies.

82
00:05:01,740 --> 00:05:02,550
Song Xiaoyu,

83
00:05:03,150 --> 00:05:04,300
don't you love him

84
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,070
and this scripted world?

85
00:05:06,230 --> 00:05:07,220
So, tell me,

86
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:08,600
are you going to go against
the plots I wrote

87
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:09,860
and watch Nan Heng die,

88
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,110
or help me complete all the iconic scenes

89
00:05:12,110 --> 00:05:13,800
and return to the real world together?

90
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,320
That way, he can still live.

91
00:05:22,110 --> 00:05:22,970
Offer incense?

92
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:24,600
Today's the first day of the month,

93
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:25,620
an auspicious day.

94
00:05:25,620 --> 00:05:27,840
To pray for a happy marriage
for Miss Yiting,

95
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:29,160
Madam got up early and took her

96
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,360
to the Temple of the God of Matchmaking.

97
00:05:32,230 --> 00:05:34,290
The Temple of the God of Matchmaking?

[Outskirts; Temple of
the God of Matchmaking]

100
00:05:43,980 --> 00:05:44,950
Hurry up.

101
00:05:44,950 --> 00:05:45,620
See?

102
00:05:45,620 --> 00:05:47,290
There are so many people here.

103
00:05:47,550 --> 00:05:48,360
So great.

104
00:05:48,370 --> 00:05:49,650
Come on, come on.

105
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:51,620
Mom, I told you,

106
00:05:51,620 --> 00:05:52,610
if you want to pray, do it yourself.

107
00:05:52,610 --> 00:05:54,280
I don't believe in this stuff.

108
00:05:55,860 --> 00:05:57,400
A happy marriage depends on

109
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,480
how you get along and work things out.

110
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:00,740
I can't even clearly say

111
00:06:00,740 --> 00:06:02,180
what my future with him will be like,

112
00:06:02,180 --> 00:06:03,180
so why put all our hope

113
00:06:03,180 --> 00:06:05,570
in something so intangible?

114
00:06:07,060 --> 00:06:08,420
Watch your words.

115
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:09,480
The God of Matchmaking is watching above.

116
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:10,610
Show some respect.

117
00:06:10,860 --> 00:06:11,740
Seriously.

118
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:14,100
God of Matchmaking,

119
00:06:14,230 --> 00:06:16,290
this devotee has only this daughter.

120
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:17,980
I vow three years of my life

121
00:06:18,060 --> 00:06:20,520
in exchange for my daughter's
lifelong peace

122
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:21,800
and a happy marriage.

123
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:23,920
God of Matchmaking, please bless her.

124
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,050
God of Matchmaking, please bless her.

125
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:27,670
Hurry.

126
00:06:27,740 --> 00:06:28,550
What are you doing?

127
00:06:28,550 --> 00:06:29,360
Why are you standing there like a statue?

128
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,920
Hurry up and make a wish.

129
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:32,300
Quick, quick, quick.

130
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,220
Please bless my daughter,
God of Matchmaking.

131
00:06:37,620 --> 00:06:40,320
God of Matchmaking, please bless
my daughter's marriage.

God of Matchmaking, please bless
my daughter

133

with a happy marriage.

134
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:43,850
Mom.

135
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:44,600
Please bless her.

136
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,160
Just a few days ago,

137
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,520
you were criticizing Shangguan He
like crazy.

138
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,340
You said his eyes were too flirtatious,

139
00:06:50,670 --> 00:06:52,040
destined to take concubines in the future.

140
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:52,920
You also said

141
00:06:53,060 --> 00:06:54,520
that his philtrum was a bit too short,

142
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,720
which meant he'd bring
misfortune to his wife.

143
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,720
You even said that I chose my own husband,

144
00:06:58,720 --> 00:06:59,860
and that if I ever regretted it,

145
00:06:59,860 --> 00:07:01,230
you'd let me cry myself to death
without caring.

146
00:07:01,230 --> 00:07:02,040
What?

147
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,900
Why are you praying so hard today?

148
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,230
What nonsense are you talking about?

149
00:07:05,230 --> 00:07:06,420
Come here, come here.

150
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,250
Show some respect to
the God of Matchmaking.

151
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,180
God of Matchmaking,

152
00:07:13,180 --> 00:07:14,920
please don't take offense.

153
00:07:14,980 --> 00:07:16,610
Please don't mishear.

154
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,040
What I meant was

155
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,160
that my husband at home
has flirtatious eyes

156
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,160
and a short philtrum.

157
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,800
I really wasn't talking about
my daughter's husband.

158
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,430
Please don't get it wrong.

159
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:26,520
Please, God of Matchmaking,

160
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:27,600
please.

161
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,190
I'll kowtow to you three times.

162
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,990
God of Matchmaking, please bless
my daughter.

163
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,250
Please bless my daughter
with a happy marriage.

164
00:07:38,740 --> 00:07:41,360
Please bless and protect my Yiting
for her entire life.

165
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:42,480
Madam!

166
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:43,110
Please.

167
00:07:43,110 --> 00:07:44,840
I've bought the Lovers' Knots.

168
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:46,160
Great.

169
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:46,920
Hurry up,

170
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,440
tie them up in the branches.

171
00:07:50,980 --> 00:07:52,300
Hang it higher.

172
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,340
The higher, the luckier.

173
00:07:56,550 --> 00:07:57,920
Why are you so clumsy?

174
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:58,520
Come on, come on.

175
00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:59,300
Give it to me.

176
00:07:59,300 --> 00:08:00,300
I'll do it myself.

177
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:02,740
Seriously.

178
00:08:05,230 --> 00:08:06,520
Hang it here.

179
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:07,450
Here.

180
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,420
This doesn't mean that I believe in
this sort of thing.

181
00:08:16,420 --> 00:08:18,780
But since I'm getting married,

182
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,850
everything must be done properly,

183
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,550
and I have to experience everything.

184
00:08:22,550 --> 00:08:23,400
Good girl.

185
00:08:25,980 --> 00:08:26,920
And these,

186
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:27,520
tell me,

187
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:28,980
where should we hang them?

188
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,230
Fortunately, there aren't too many people
praying today.

189
00:08:39,230 --> 00:08:41,360
Everything worked out just as I hoped.

190
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:43,340
In the future,

191
00:08:43,460 --> 00:08:44,920
I hope that God blesses you

192
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,320
and lets you live happily.

193
00:08:47,420 --> 00:08:48,400
Mr. Feng, wake up.

194
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:49,260
Time to go home.

195
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:54,340
Mr. Feng?

196
00:08:56,060 --> 00:08:57,030
Mr. Feng?

197
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,300
Mr. Feng!

198
00:09:00,420 --> 00:09:01,240
Mom,

199
00:09:01,300 --> 00:09:02,430
something's wrong!

200
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,040
What's wrong?

201
00:09:13,340 --> 00:09:14,340
What do you want?

202
00:09:19,910 --> 00:09:21,240
I know it's very hard for you

203
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,010
to make this decision.

204
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,600
But if you continue to resist stubbornly,

205
00:09:26,030 --> 00:09:28,630
I can only take action against
the Song family.

206
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,100
For example, your sister.

207
00:09:33,460 --> 00:09:34,620
What do you want?

208
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:36,700
Your Grace!

209
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:40,580
Is this from Rong Hua?

210
00:09:40,580 --> 00:09:41,240
Yes.

211
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,400
What did you do to Yiting?

212
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,550
Why don't you open it and see?

213
00:09:55,260 --> 00:09:57,330
Now, it's just one of her fingers,

214
00:09:57,370 --> 00:09:58,830
but whether Song Yiting lives or dies

215
00:09:58,830 --> 00:10:00,000
in the future

216
00:10:00,340 --> 00:10:01,460
is up to you.

217
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,270
If you dare to lay a finger on them again,

218
00:10:09,270 --> 00:10:11,040
I'll kill you first.

219
00:10:11,300 --> 00:10:13,030
The north wind is strong today.

220
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,810
The "Choice Between Two" scene
on the city tower

221
00:10:14,810 --> 00:10:16,420
must be quite the spectacle.

222
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:24,420
Mother,

223
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,700
you've been taking care of
His Majesty all morning.

224
00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:28,000
Let me handle things here.

225
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,120
Go back and rest.

226
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,310
The royal physician said

227
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,270
that your father

228
00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:40,940
likely won't make it through this time.

229
00:10:42,420 --> 00:10:43,520
I just want to

230
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,940
look at him properly once more.

231
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:48,300
That way,

232
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,880
if something really happens...

233
00:10:52,670 --> 00:10:53,880
when I think of him

234
00:10:55,060 --> 00:10:56,400
in the future,

235
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,420
it won't only be those years

236
00:10:58,550 --> 00:11:00,990
when we glared at each other
with cold resentment

237
00:11:00,990 --> 00:11:02,920
and endless disputes.

238
00:11:12,290 --> 00:11:13,470
Your Majesty.

239
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:16,040
Your Majesty!

240
00:11:16,550 --> 00:11:17,820
I'll go find Physician Qin.

241
00:11:17,820 --> 00:11:18,580
Okay.

242
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,240
Rest assured, Your Majesty.

243
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,580
I've already sent people to find
the antidote.

244
00:11:25,580 --> 00:11:26,800
You will be fine.

245
00:11:32,570 --> 00:11:33,560
I suspect

246
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,700
that all of this was orchestrated
by Chu Guihong.

247
00:11:35,700 --> 00:11:36,920
I will keep my guard up

248
00:11:36,930 --> 00:11:38,190
and find out the truth.

249
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,420
I also beg Your Majesty

250
00:11:41,420 --> 00:11:44,680
to send the Xuanjia Army back
to the capital to deal with it.

251
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:12,650
Heng.

252
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,130
Get up first.

253
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,190
Thank you, Your Majesty.

254
00:12:30,180 --> 00:12:31,250
Rui

255
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,040
has always sat by my side.

256
00:12:38,340 --> 00:12:39,200
Come on.

257
00:12:43,550 --> 00:12:44,340
Sit by my side.

258
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:47,800
Yes.

259
00:12:57,550 --> 00:12:59,070
Don't worry, Your Majesty.

260
00:12:59,180 --> 00:13:00,040
I've arranged everything

261
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,340
to protect Rui.

262
00:13:02,060 --> 00:13:03,120
I also promise you

263
00:13:03,670 --> 00:13:05,820
that I'll protect him with all I have.

264
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,920
I won't let anything happen to him.

265
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:14,550
Heng.

266
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:17,910
Yes, Your Majesty?

267
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,750
Rui never addresses me

268
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,300
as "Your Majesty."

269
00:13:32,270 --> 00:13:33,420
Don't let me hear you

270
00:13:33,420 --> 00:13:35,030
call me "Father" ever again!

271
00:13:39,700 --> 00:13:41,640
It was my fault.

272
00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:01,670
Can you...

273
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,120
Can you...

274
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:22,650
Father.

What are you doing here?

Fa...

280

[Huanning Hall]

282
00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:10,550
Your Majesty,

283
00:15:10,550 --> 00:15:12,060
today is your birthday.

284
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,000
This snow tiger

285
00:15:14,180 --> 00:15:17,550
must be a birthday gift from
the Seventh Prince.

286
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,460
Worthless and ignorant,

287
00:15:25,460 --> 00:15:26,760
only knowing how to mess around.

288
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:27,700
Go back now.

289
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:29,550
Yes.

290
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:35,060
Forget it.

291
00:15:35,060 --> 00:15:36,550
Since it's a gift from him,

292
00:15:36,550 --> 00:15:37,550
take it inside.

293
00:16:01,550 --> 00:16:02,370
Your Highness,

294
00:16:02,370 --> 00:16:03,510
are you alright?

295
00:16:04,550 --> 00:16:05,920
Didn't I tell you to protect Nan Rui?

296
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,100
Why are you here?

297
00:16:08,340 --> 00:16:09,750
It's the Crown Princess.

298
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,400
She went to Lord Qianyu's manor.

299
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:12,640
I don't know what she said to Lord Qianyu,

300
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,180
and she didn't let the Xuanjia Army
follow her.

301
00:16:14,180 --> 00:16:15,520
After that, she left

302
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,670
the manor alone with Lord Qianyu

303
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,050
and had the Xuanjia Army bring this back.

304
00:16:21,940 --> 00:16:22,520
Nan Heng,

305
00:16:22,670 --> 00:16:23,930
you lied to me again.

306
00:16:24,300 --> 00:16:25,240
In the next life,

307
00:16:25,290 --> 00:16:26,660
I will punish you

308
00:16:26,700 --> 00:16:27,760
to kneel on many,

309
00:16:27,870 --> 00:16:29,670
many, many washboards.

310
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,040
Go and gather 200 Xuanjia Army soldiers

311
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:32,920
to follow me to the city tower.

312
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,050
Yes, Your Highness.

313
00:16:39,060 --> 00:16:39,800
Well,

314
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,200
don't blame me.

315
00:16:41,340 --> 00:16:42,920
If I weren't in such a hurry to get back,

316
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,970
I wouldn't have treated you this way.

317
00:16:45,420 --> 00:16:47,160
Remember what you promised me.

318
00:16:47,420 --> 00:16:50,120
If Yiting and the Song family are
in the slightest danger,

319
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:51,760
even if I go back,

320
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,050
I won't let you off.

00:17:19,820 --> 00:17:21,330
Let her go now!

330
00:17:21,350 --> 00:17:24,060
We can't let her go
until this iconic scene is completed.

00:17:24,060 --> 00:17:25,000
Yimeng,

332
00:17:25,140 --> 00:17:26,870
Mother is still in their hands.

333
00:17:29,580 --> 00:17:31,040
This has nothing to do with Madam.

334
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,880
Release her right here and right now,

00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:33,880

00:17:34,380 --> 00:17:35,910
I won't cooperate with you.

337
00:17:36,590 --> 00:17:37,630
Relax.

338
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,380
She's perfectly fine in the carriage.

339
00:17:39,380 --> 00:17:40,480
She's just still unconscious

340
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:41,680

341
00:17:42,270 --> 00:17:43,800
You know exactly what I want.

342
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,200

at random?

00:17:52,180 --> 00:17:53,570
Please cooperate with me

344
00:17:53,590 --> 00:17:55,390

345
00:17:55,410 --> 00:17:56,180
I guarantee

346
00:17:56,210 --> 00:17:59,100
I'll safely send them back
in a grand eight-carrier sedan.

349
00:18:00,580 --> 00:18:02,050
don't believe a word of it.

00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:04,280
Rather than be held hostage
by someone else,

351
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,060
I'd rather take control of my own fate

352
00:18:06,060 --> 00:18:07,840

Don't worry.

357
00:18:21,410 --> 00:18:22,990
I will save you.

Tell me.

Shangguan He will come.

378
00:19:18,380 --> 00:19:19,300
does it have to be him?

00:19:19,300 --> 00:19:20,200
Can't I do it?

380
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,000
You have another job.

381
00:19:23,060 --> 00:19:23,860
Chief!

382
00:19:26,690 --> 00:19:27,770
What's wrong?

383
00:19:28,820 --> 00:19:29,900
By the time I arrived,

384
00:19:29,900 --> 00:19:31,580
Song Yiting had already been taken
by the Qianyu Army.

385
00:19:31,580 --> 00:19:33,550
We were even ambushed along the way.

386
00:19:33,550 --> 00:19:35,040
Yunlong and Shanhu stayed behind
to cover my retreat

387
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,560
so that I could make it back.

388
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:37,550
Chief,

389
00:19:38,060 --> 00:19:40,620
they've mobilized a large number
of the Qianyu Army.

390
00:19:40,620 --> 00:19:41,490
Your Highness,

391
00:19:41,630 --> 00:19:43,800
there are only 300 Xuanjia Army soldiers
in the capital in total,

392
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,320
and some were sent to the palace.

393
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:46,730
We may not stand a chance.

394
00:19:47,620 --> 00:19:49,140
The border troops are on their way back,

395
00:19:49,140 --> 00:19:50,520
but they'll need at least three days.

396
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:51,140
Until then,

397
00:19:51,140 --> 00:19:52,070
we must hold out.

398
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:53,590
Let's do this.

399
00:19:54,100 --> 00:19:55,100
Send someone to Waning River Crescent

400
00:19:55,100 --> 00:19:56,550
to ask the Nightwalker to help
Yunlong and Shanhu.

401
00:19:56,550 --> 00:19:58,380
Tell them to make sure they stall
the Qianyu Army

402
00:19:58,380 --> 00:19:59,740
for at least one hour.

403
00:19:59,770 --> 00:20:00,890
Yes, Your Highness.

404
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,300
You are already like this.

405
00:20:08,300 --> 00:20:09,520
Why don't you go back first?

406
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,440
Leave the "Choice Between Two" to me.

407
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,280
Choose? Like hell.

408
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:12,820
You save your woman,

409
00:20:12,820 --> 00:20:13,880
and I'll save mine.

410
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:15,060
Besides,

411
00:20:15,060 --> 00:20:16,610
Chu Li's real target is me.

412
00:20:16,900 --> 00:20:17,860
I have to go.

413
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:22,240
Fine.

414
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:23,680
Then tell me

415
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:24,720
how I can help.

[Yanxing Gate]

417
00:20:49,300 --> 00:20:50,510
It's really snowing.

418
00:20:54,340 --> 00:20:55,860
I told you.

419
00:20:57,380 --> 00:20:59,240
Fate can't be changed.

420
00:21:00,100 --> 00:21:01,340
Any resistance

421
00:21:01,340 --> 00:21:02,870
is just asking for trouble.

422
00:21:03,580 --> 00:21:04,630
In the end,

423
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:06,820
you'll all come back here

424
00:21:07,140 --> 00:21:08,620
and meet the same fate.

425
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,590
Even if it's the same city tower
and heavy snow,

426
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,350
and even if I'll

427
00:21:15,210 --> 00:21:17,270
go along with the storyline with you,

428
00:21:18,140 --> 00:21:20,070
it doesn't mean that everyone else

429
00:21:20,100 --> 00:21:22,040
will live the way you want them to.

430
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,300
Because everyone here

431
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,390
is no longer that group of...

432
00:21:29,300 --> 00:21:32,040
fictional characters to be manipulated
at will.

433
00:21:41,620 --> 00:21:42,440
General,

434
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:43,760
they're here.

435
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,480
Bring Song Yiting here.

436
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:47,140
Yes.

437
00:21:48,340 --> 00:21:49,440
Bring her here!

I'm here.

Nan Heng,

445
00:22:16,380 --> 00:22:17,280
listen up.

446
00:22:17,860 --> 00:22:20,240
The antidote for the Emperor
is in my hands.

447
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,550
The evidence proving that Nan Rui
poisoned him is also with me!

shoot the arrows immediately!

451

You know the ending I want.

452
00:22:31,860 --> 00:22:33,270
Today, at the city tower,

453
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,800
until this "Choice Between Two" scene
is complete,

everything

455
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,680

In this world,

00:22:46,620 --> 00:22:47,440
I've never done anything

459

to benefit everyone.

460

What have you done?

491

He was Lord Qianyu.

You actually killed him?

493

My loyalty lies not with Lord Qianyu

494
00:25:13,100 --> 00:25:15,100
but solely with the Junior General.

heed my command!

this will make for

567
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:42,960
but I didn't expect to let you

568
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,410
see me at my most pathetic.

569
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:47,810
I made a mistake.

570
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:48,860
At a time like this,

571
00:28:48,860 --> 00:28:50,570
you still have the mood to joke?

572
00:28:50,570 --> 00:28:51,240
Let's go.

573
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,060
Let's go home.

574
00:28:52,340 --> 00:28:53,140
Let's go!

575
00:29:00,380 --> 00:29:02,080
Song Yiting, listen carefully.

576
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,360
In the future, whoever you choose,

577
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:04,810
he can't be worse than me.

578
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:06,760
Fugui!

579
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:14,720
Yiting!

580
00:29:14,830 --> 00:29:15,790
Song Yiting,

581
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,460
there are things

582
00:29:17,580 --> 00:29:19,430
that should be done by men.

583
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,370
Like being the first to ask

584
00:29:21,820 --> 00:29:23,430
and the first to fall in love.

585
00:29:23,470 --> 00:29:24,790
The more you do,

586
00:29:25,340 --> 00:29:26,200
the less there is left

587
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,000
for me to do.

588
00:29:28,300 --> 00:29:29,520
But luckily,

589
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,820
there's still one last thing I can do,

590
00:29:32,340 --> 00:29:33,780
and that's to use my life

591
00:29:34,140 --> 00:29:35,640
to protect you well.

592
00:29:41,860 --> 00:29:42,890
Shangguan He.

593
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:44,370
Shangguan He!

594
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,100
Shangguan He!

595
00:29:55,380 --> 00:29:56,550
Shangguan He!

596
00:29:56,550 --> 00:29:57,240
Yiting.

597
00:30:02,060 --> 00:30:03,340
Shangguan He!

598
00:30:03,340 --> 00:30:03,960
Fugui!

599
00:30:03,980 --> 00:30:04,640
Take her away!

600
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:05,040
Yes.

601
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:05,800
Let go of me!

602
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:06,410
Nan Heng!

603
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:07,800
Nan Heng!

604
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:10,050
Nan Heng!

605
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,000
See?

606
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,280
When the female lead is in danger...

607
00:31:19,100 --> 00:31:20,830
the male lead comes to save her.

608
00:31:27,340 --> 00:31:28,040
Nan Heng.

609
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:29,710
Nan Heng.

610
00:31:30,580 --> 00:31:31,380
Nan Heng.

611
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:32,620
You're right.

612
00:31:34,390 --> 00:31:35,590
You're the male lead.

613
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,130
So you'll be fine,

614
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:38,960
right?

615
00:31:42,380 --> 00:31:43,310
Nan Heng.

616
00:31:43,820 --> 00:31:44,520
You can't die.

617
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:45,590
Do you hear me?

618
00:31:45,620 --> 00:31:46,580
Do you hear me?

619
00:31:46,580 --> 00:31:47,240
You can't die!

620
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,660
Do you hear me?

621
00:31:49,340 --> 00:31:50,300
Answer me!

622
00:31:50,300 --> 00:31:51,560
Do you hear me?

623
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:53,380
I hear you.

624
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:54,770
I hear you.

625
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:56,800
Don't worry.

626
00:31:59,300 --> 00:32:00,760
I'm your male lead.

627
00:32:02,340 --> 00:32:03,460
I won't die.

628
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:10,160
Nan Heng.

629
00:32:20,350 --> 00:32:21,250
Nan Heng.

630
00:32:21,990 --> 00:32:24,190
Hang in there, okay?

631
00:32:24,260 --> 00:32:25,200
Listen to me,

632
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,620
hang in there, okay?

633
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,080
You can't die, Nan Heng.

634
00:32:29,150 --> 00:32:31,550
You're the only one I have in this world.

635
00:32:31,550 --> 00:32:32,830
Do you know that?

636
00:32:33,100 --> 00:32:34,380
I have no one else.

637
00:32:34,380 --> 00:32:36,370
You really are... all I have left.

638
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,200
Please don't die.

639
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:39,800
I beg you.

640
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:41,400

Only...

647
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:32,930
only by dying...

648
00:33:34,950 --> 00:33:35,840
can I prove

649
00:33:36,770 --> 00:33:38,700
that I'm not a fictional character

650
00:33:39,060 --> 00:33:39,960
