♪My heart shattered, withered into pieces♪

♪Yet I still can't find a trace of you♪

♪Like a whale drowning in the cracks of the deep sea♪

♪Thinking of you, I lose myself completely♪

♪My heart shattered, withered into pieces♪

♪Humbly, I still long to search for you♪

♪Screaming as I fall into the darkest abyss♪

♪Echoing back is only the tide of loneliness♪

Boss.

Mr. Lin.

How many pieces of Pu Cake today?

Teach me.

I want to make it myself today.

Gently.

Done.

♪Maybe we didn't make the right choice back then♪

♪All that burning passion blindly followed you♪

♪Now that things have come to this, there's nothing left to say♪

♪Nothing we can do♪

♪All my joys and sorrows were decided by your words♪

♪Conflicting emotions tearing me apart♪

♪This numb heart♪

♪Only aches at times to remind me♪

♪What's wrong? You're silent again♪

♪What pitiful role are you playing this time?♪

♪Forgive all the sadness♪

♪Perfectly repeating it once more♪

♪I won't say more. I'm tired, I'm worn out♪

♪Let's just end this♪

♪You cry and laugh♪

(Liang Yi, look at me.)

(You do love me, right?)

(What love or not love?)

(For the sake of protecting myself.)

♪You know it all♪

♪Don't wait anymore, forget the past♪

♪Remember to live well♪

♪Hold back your tears as you turn around♪

♪You said you would still miss me♪

♪Just not love me anymore♪

(I'm sorry.)

(I can't drag you down anymore.)

♪I won't say more. I'm tired, I'm worn out♪

♪Let's end this♪

♪You cry and laugh♪

♪But in the end, you still walked away♪

♪I'll feel reluctant too♪

♪There'll be sadness, loneliness♪

♪You know it all♪

♪Don't wait anymore, forget the past♪

♪Remember to live well♪

♪Hold back your tears as you turn around♪

♪You said you would still miss me♪

(I will always protect you.)

(Let's get married.)

I'll marry you.

(I want everyone in Rong City to know)

(that you are my woman.)

I'll use my blood

to wash away all the dirt from your past.

(No lies.)

(No betrayal.)

(I will become the one you trust most.)

(Little Fox. Next time, just tell me directly what you want.)

Not this one, not this.

The others,

get one of each

in her size.

(Is there really no such thing as karma in this world?)

(If there isn't,)

(I'll fight for justice on your behalf.)

(Don't worry.)

(We will definitely escape.)

(Even if it costs my life,)

(I will get her out safely.)

(No matter what you've become,)

(the one I have always loved is still you.)

(Liang Yi.)

Lin Yun,

What we have was a transaction from the start.

Once I avenge myself,

and you get what you want,

there will be nothing between us anymore.

(Without you,)

(I can live just fine.)

(We agreed not to interfere.)

(Mr. Lin, you should follow your own boundaries.)

Have you ever,

even for a moment, truly cared for me?

I'm sorry, Lin Yun.

My choice is

to let you go.

(Clearly, I was the one who pushed you away.)

(I chose hatred.)

(But,)

(why does my heart hurt so much?)

(It feels like it's being torn apart alive.)

(Was I wrong?)

(What am I supposed to do?)

I said

if you don't come, I won't leave.

♪Between the lines of words♪

♪Telling fragments of love and sorrow♪

♪Sun, moon, and stars♪

♪Speak not, for it is longing♪

♪Loneliness sealed in dust♪

♪The longer it stays, the deeper it grows♪

♪Seeing through all worldly things♪

♪All sorrow fades into nothingness♪

♪A lover's deep affection♪

♪Dwelling deep in my heart♪

♪Nowhere to hide♪

♪Loveless, yet fearing too much feeling♪

♪Loved you until it became a curse on my heart♪

♪Couldn't win your heart, so I foolishly tore myself down♪

♪My beloved is without fault♪

♪To understand is already so rare♪

♪Holding tight to what's not yours♪

♪Letting go of what wouldn't leave♪

♪No use persuading, one thought and the obsession deepens♪

♪Beloved, at this moment the southeast stretches endlessly♪

How were you so certain back then

that I would definitely acknowledge Song Ming to save my life?

Weren't you afraid I'd fall into utter despair and only seek death?

You wouldn't.

You would only hate me.

The more you hate me,

the more you'd want to live, just to take revenge on me.

Why are you so foolish?

Foolish enough to think I'd really bear to take revenge on you?

I think you bore it just fine.

That day at the Song Residence,

you asked me if I was also acting.

Song Ming was right outside the door. Did you know?

You almost got me killed.

But at the moment you asked me,

my heart warmed.

Because it made me feel that you still trusted me.

So everything you did

was to deceive Song Ming?

Why?

Song Ming has been secretly colluding with Yunzhou for a long time.

The opium was merely

one of the channels he used to funnel benefits to Yunzhou.

What he wants is Yunzhou's military force,

to help him seize Jiangzhou.

So you helped him amass money quickly

just to push him into rebellion?

Yes.

But what if he really succeeded in taking Jiangzhou?

He won't succeed.

Did you really think

I'd hand that money to Yunzhou?

What I wanted

was merely proof of his exposed ambition.

Lin Yun,

promise me,

let me deliver the final blow.

The one who killed my father

was Song Ming.

Yi.

Having porridge again?

Again?

Last time after we had porridge, we separated.

This time the flavor is different.

You're like a dog.

If you run off again,

I'll...

Are you bringing the chain to lock me to the bed?

Would you bear to?

Then swear it

that you'll never leave me again.

Alright.

I swear.

Unless...

Unless I die.

Liang Yi.

I was just joking.

I promise you,

I'll live until all our teeth fall out,

and I'll keep pestering you, alright?

Why must you go to Yunzhou?

If I don't go,

Song Ming will grow suspicious.

What if Marshal Jin finds out?

This is the arrangement between me and Marshal Jin.

You still need to stay cautious.

When I left the Song Residence,

did Song Ming get suspicious?

No.

I told him I had you locked up by my side

and was torturing you hard.

When are you leaving?

The afternoon boat.

Come with me to a place.

This fabric suits me.

I'll make you a summer shirt.

Madam, you truly have good taste.

The collar needs silver cloud embroidery.

Noted.

The waist shouldn't be made too wide.

You can do this too?

I used to measure all my father's clothes.

Madam, please look here.

Spring silk.

Summer gauze.

Autumn velvet.

Winter fur.

All are here.

Yunzhou is spring all year round.

You've prepared clothes for all four seasons.

What is all this for?

You wear those black suits all the time.

I'm sick of seeing them.

Naturally, these are for you to wear in the future.

I should go.

Be good and wait for me to come back.

Safe travels.

Mr. Lin.

Governor Song ordered that you don't need to go to Yunzhou.

Please come with us.

Let's go.

What are you doing?

No need to go to Yunzhou.

Good son.

Don't worry about it.

Yunzhou's troops have already entered Rong City.

Too bad.

Your performance failed.

You said you were going to Yunzhou in my place.

Were you planning to take my life?

Tell me, was ancestral grave of the Song family chosen wrong?

One son reckless and stupid at birth,

and then you,

a dagger hidden at the end.

Scheming every day to kill your old man.

You hid something inside the banner. Don't think I don't know.

(Proof)

With this proof, come to Chengyun Society in a month,

and reclaim all the property on the donation agreement.

The deeds.

One month.

You calculated it perfectly.

You're waiting for me to be dead,

then return everything to you.

Will Yunzhou give it back to you?

When their troops surround Jiangzhou,

do you think they'll agree?

Who will surround it?

Your Chengyun Society?

Tell me, who?

A treacherous minister starts a rebellion,

who will suppress it?

So you've already colluded with Marshal Jin in secret.

Planning to join forces to eliminate me.

Cruel enough.

A small-time gangster like you,

Marshal Jin is probably being played by you as well.

You want to borrow someone else's knife

to kill your own father, right?

It seems

you are even more ruthless than Zhichu.

Tell me, what have I been fighting for half my life?

What's the point?

Meaningless.

Even if I become Marshal,

no one will take the position of Young Marshal.

Marshal?

You think you deserve it?

Why did the Marshal's position go to Jin back then,

and not you?

You really don't know?

You didn't even dare raise your own troops.

You paid Yunzhou to buy soldiers.

Aren't you afraid they'll swallow you whole later?

You let your son kill and burn for you,

and when he died, you called him stupid.

Song Ming.

Your dream of being Marshal is utterly ridiculous.

Shut up!

(Presented to Mr. Wang Jiangzhou Honorary Citizen)

(Good Man of Rong City By Lin Yun of Chengyun Society)

Song Ming already sent the money to Yunzhou long ago.

They say Yunzhou's troops have entered Rong City.

Any news of Lin Yun and Song Ming?

The boss's life or death is unknown.

Break in!

Rescue the boss!

Song Ming won't fight to the death.

He's not that determined.

Everyone.

Follow me.

Yes, Madam Lin.

Let's go!
