The Legend of Fragrance

Episode 12

You didn't listen to mom and started all this trouble.

Fortunately, Lord Wen and Young Master Wen saved you.

Young Master Wen was almost mistaken for the devil impersonator

and was arrested by the police.

Lord Wen also lost his chairman postion for two districts.

So today when Lady Wen sent you home,

mom officially agreed to Wen family's marriage proposal.

What did you say?

You agreed to the Wen family's marriage proposal?

Yes

I have agreed accepted their wedding gifts.

Mom, I can't marry Wen Shi Xuan.

Why not?

This all started because of you. You signed up for their Bride Competition and competed to win.

When you were taken up the mountain, the Wen family sent the matchmaker again.

Mom promised at that very moment

that as long the Wen family can bring up back, I'll agree to their marriage proposal.

Now that the Wen family has bring you back and sacrificed so much,

I have to keep my word and you should be grateful.

But Mom, although the Wen family sacrificed a lot for me,

Mr. An...

In order to save me...

In order to save me, he sacrificed his own life.

What did you say?

What happened to Doctor An?

I never thought

so much happened last night on the devil's mountain.

Yesterday night was really dangerous.

Le Yan was attacked by unknown people.

By the time we've arrived, she had already fainted at the edge of the cliff.

Half of her body was hanging off the cliff, she could have fallen off at any moment.

What?

Is Le Yan okay?

She does not have any physical injuries.

I've checked her pulse, she seems okay.

I really should have followed Ning Zhi Yuan up the mountain to save Le Yan.

I thought that since we've made such a commotion at the foot of the mountain,

no devil, real or fake, would have showed up.

So Ning Zhi Yuan should be able to save Le Yan by himself.

Oh right, Lord Wen.

Have you seen Ning Zhi Yuan?

I haven't.

When we arrived, Le Yan was alone on that cliff.

But I noticed that there were three empty bullet shells and some traces of blood.

Evident that some sort of fight broke out on that cliff.

Three empty bullet shells?

Ning Zhi Yuan had previously thought Young Master Wen was the devil.

He fired three times because his gun has three bullet.

Those three shots were probably fired by him.

But why is he missing?

Who would attack him?

I'm not sure either.

Le Yan had already fainted by then.

We should wait until Le Yan wakes up before asking her for details.

Zhi Yuan fired three shots but was unable to rescue Le Yan.

That means there were many attackers and they were strong.

Le Yan also fainted by the cliff side.

Zhi Yuan didn't... fall down the cliff did he?

Zhi Yuan! Zhi Yuan! Zhi Yuan!

Zhi Yuan.

Zhi Yuan!

Zhi Yuan, Zhi Yuan.

Ning Zhi Yuan, Ning Zhi Yuan.

You didn't die already, did you?

I don't want to be responsible for your death.

Good, he still has hope. He still has hope.

Ning Zhi Yuan, did you know?

I only want to be a perfumer.

I don't want your life.

You must live, you must live.

Father

I'm only a perfumer.

I'm scared I'll change into something scary.

I'm scared to become someone who does not deserve the purity and greatness of fragrances.

You're a perfumer but you're also my daughter.

You're Xiao Ya family's only heir and a citizen of the Great Empire of Japan.

Hui Zi, in this world everyone has multiple identities.

There is nobody who can do as they wish.

Okay, I agree.

Father

Can you give some me some of the excellent medicine we brought from Japan?

What do you need medicine for?

Just in case.

To compete against all those Chinese people,

aren't you worried, Father?

To fight Chinese people, you have to use your brain.

With you smartness, I don't think you'll ever physically fight them.

But it's better to be safe than sorry.

Wait a minute.

I stepped down from being the chairman of two districts.

Ning Hao Tian will surely become the chairman of the four big districts.

And he will successfully be allow to compete in the World Fragrance Competition.

But if he has to sacrifice his son in order to do so,

then it will not be beneficial to him at all.

Dad, are you really going to force me to marry Le Yan?

You must marry Le Yan.

Life is hard, you cannot spend your youth doing whatever you want.

Ning Hao Tian holds a monopoly over Mo Wang's fragrance business,

But as long you marry Le Yan, we will be able to create the best perfume.

When that happens, we will win the World Fragrance Competition.

In the end, the real winner would be us, the Wen family.

Lord Wen, do you really like Le Yan that much?

Yes. I am the most confident in my people intuition.

My judgement has never been wrong.

I'm impressed.

Dad, I really don't want to marry Le Yan.

There is no room for negotiation.

Our Wen family sacrificed so much in order for you to marry Le Yan.

I'm telling you, you're marrying her

whether you want to or not.

It seems this two bottles of medicine are really effective.

Your life is no longer in danger.

But, I can't wait until you regain consciousness.

I have to go.

If someone finds out it was me who saved you,

my father will be mad.

Rest well.

No

What if he gets eaten by wild animals?

Or what he gets poisoned by a poisonous snake? Then what?

Fine

Since you called me beautiful swan,

I'll use this first-class perfume on you.

Mom, right now Mr. An could be dead.

How can I possibly marry anyone else?

Child

Mom never thought that Mr. An would sacrifice his life in order to save you.

It's not that Mom wants to make things worst

but Mr. An was already severely injured.

He also fell off such a high cliff.

I'm afraid there's no hope for him.

Once dead, people cannot come back to life.

You can't stay unmarried for the rest of your life, can you?

Even if he had feelings for you,

you two had no title or marriage.

You can't dedicate your life to him forever.

Although titles are important,

but my heart is more important.

Right now, my head is filled with thoughts

of Mr. An wearing the devil's mask and falling down the mountain.

My head is full of that image.

He will forever remain in my heart.

How can you expect me to marry someone else?

My heart does not have room for anyone else.

Mom can empathize with how you feel right now.

But you should look at it in a different way.

People are nurtured by their parents,

and life is gifted by Heaven.

You should to live a safe and happy life

as a way to repay your parents, to repay the Wen family, to repay Mr. An.

Right now, you're in danger.

You will only be safe if you marry into the Wen family.

Don't try to convince me anymore.

No matter what you say, I won't marry anyone else.

If Mr. An is still alive, I'll wait for his return.

If he's dead, I absolutely will not marry anyone else.

How about this?

You should just rest your body.

Let your emotions calm down first before making a choice, okay?

Flower Temple

Le Yan?

Le Yan, you're back.

Teacher, I, was worried about you the whole night.

Let me see, are you okay?

You didn't get injured, did you?

Teacher

Good child.

I know you must have experienced a lot of stress last night on the devil's mountain.

It's good that you're safe.

Don't cry, huh? As long as you came back safe.

Although I safely came back,

but Mr. An, he...

What happened to Mr. An?

To save me, he fell down the cliff.

What did you say? I don't understand.

Don't cry, let's sit down first.

Tell me everything slowly, don't leave out any details, okay?

It seems like medicine.

Who fed me medicine?

I dreamt of that dirty brat just right now.

Did that dirty brat feed me medicine in my dream?

So I didn't die.

I can see that dirty brat again.

Since you lost your sense of smell and taste,

and the person who saved you was wearing a mask,

how did you know that person was An Yi Chen?

Although I couldn't hear his voice or smell his fragrance,

I saw Mr. An's shoes.

I handmade that pair of shoes for Mr. An.

So that's how.

Yes, it was definitely him.

Other than him, who is willing to sacrifice their life to save you?

Did you know? When you were chosen as the reincarnated devil's wife and sent up that mountain,

your Mr. An was so worried.

But why did I smell the perfume that you made

on Lady Ning's body?

Could it be...

the reason the magic butterfly chose Lady Ning

was because you and Mr. An planned it?

I gave that bottle of perfume to Mr. An.

He secretly put a little on Lady Ning's body.

Why did Mr. An do that?

Why did he harm Lady Ning?

Le Yan, don't misunderstand Mr. An.

He wasn't trying to harm Lady Ning.

He was only trying to solve the devil looking for brides case.

Do you think that Mr. An is only a doctor?

Do you know his true identity?

To be honest, I did think it was weird.

With Mr. An's exceptional medical skills,

he could easy find work in better work in bigger cities.

But why does he stay in our Mo Wang region?

- Why did he choose such a simple and peaceful place to be a doctor? - Correct

Mr. An is a doctor

but he is also the newly appointed police commissioner.

Commissioner?

Correct.

This... But

But he...

But he chose Lady Ning as the devil's wife.

Is this related to solving the devil looking for brides case?

Everyone has their reasoning.

I believe Mr. An will definitely come back.

When he comes back, he'll personally explain everything to you.

But we don't know if Mr. An will come back.

He was so severely wounded yesterday.

And fell from such a high cliff.

No. Teacher, I must go and find him.

If he's alive, i have to see him. If he's dead, I have to see his body.

Or else in my heart...

Good child, Teacher understands how you must feel.

But you've already drawn the attention of so many strangers.

If you go out, you'll be in a lot of danger.

Go home quickly.

Your mom must be worried to death.

Go home.

I promise that I will find Mr. An.

Wait patiently at home.

Okay?

My hand doesn't hurt anymore.

Did the dirty brat really apply medicine on me?

I'm glad that diryt brat didn't see me like this.

Or else it would be embarassing.

What?

Le Yan thought Ning Zhi Yuan was me?

Yeah, this is a opportunity given by Heaven.

Even if Ning Hao Tian becomes the chairman of all four districts,

he has lost his only son and his hatred with the Wen family has only grown.

He lost more than he gained.

But Wen Jing Chang

is actually more calculation and harder to deal with than Ning Hao Tian.

Fortunately, all of Le Yan's affections is now aimed at you.

As long as you pretend you almost died and barely made it back,

she will definitely marry you and not Wen Shi Xuan.

No matter how calculating Wen Jing Chang is,

he'll lose out in the long run.

Dad, I...

Yi Chen, what is it?

I won't hide it from you. When Le Yan decided to take Ning Pei Shan's place,

I felt really guilty.

It look me so long to convince myself.

To put aside all my guilt towards Le Yan and focus only on revenge.

But when I found out Ning Zhi Yuan sacrificed his own life to save Le Yan,

my emotions were really shaken up.

Le Yan is such a kind girl, but I lied to her.

Zhi Yuan sees me as a brother, he trusts me so much,

but I plotted against him.

Yi Chen, Dad knows that you're

a honest, kind, and trustworthy person.

But we have to carry out our revenge.

If you now decide

not to revenge your mom and your little sister. To instead flirt with the girl you like

or do bad things with that friend of yours,

then you're worst than a monster.

Revenge has no bound and knows no law!

Do you think Dad doesn't feel guilty?

Everyday when I look into Le Yan's honest and kind eyes,

don't you think I feel remorse? But we're An family's men.

We have to carry the weight of avenging our family members.

We have to make whatever sacrifice is needed.

We need to have unshakable determination.

Dad don't worry. Although I feel really bad inside,

but I won't forget that we need to get revenge. I won't let you down.

Good.

Yesterday, I found out from Le Yan

where Ning Zhi Yuan was wounded.

Le Yan is very intelligent so we need more than just an irrefutable explanation.

I'm afraid you also need to get a little injured.

Yi Chen, does it hurt?

It hurts, but I can manage.

It's because you're my son.

Everything you've suffered through cannot be helped.

I understand, I don't blame you.

Dad, I've throughly thought it over.

I shouldn't marry Le Yan.

Why?

Do you still like that girl with the unique body odor?

I can't say.

I can't give up that girl nor can I betray Le Yan's trust in me.

As long as you marry Le Yan, it doesn't really count as using her.

And you also won't feel bad over the past, correct?

Dad, listen to me first.

Even if I marry Le Yan, I can't marry her like this.

After we get our revenge, I'll explain everything to her.

If she can forgive me and is willing to marry me,

then I can marry her with a clean conscious.

But if you don't her now, her mom will marry her off to Wen Shi Xuan.

We absolutely cannot let her marry Wen Shi Xuan.

Think about it. The Wen family knows everything that Ning Zhi Yuan and I did yesterday.

If Le Yan explains to them why she won't marry,

they would definitely tell her that the person who save Le Yan on that cliff yesterday was not me.

That it was Ning Zhi Yuan.

Then you have to convince Le Yan not tell anyone

what happened on the cliff last night.

Then what about Hui Zi?

Ning Hao Tian has not been caught yet.

We need Hui Zi to hypnotize the Ning mansion's housekeeper.

In order to find the missing women and destory Ning Hao Tian.

If I marry Le Yan,

do you think Hui Zi will still help me?

If she gets angry and tells Ning Hao Tian my real identity,

then how will we get revenge?

Then you mean...?

Wen Shi Xuan definitely does not want to marry Le Yan.

Pei Shan doesn't want Le Yan to marry into the Wen family even more.

We should think of way to make Pei Shan break off this engagement.

Which will also increase the hatred between the Wen and Ning family.

Good, good plan.

Thank you for all the trust you have placed in me. I will do by best

to help all Fragrance Society members.

We'll leave now. Only Lord Ning is able to do such a hard job.

Correct, correct.

Dad! Dad!

Stop, stop, stop.

Dad

Ning Zhi Yuan! What mischief are you up to now?!

Dad, help me pay first.

You...!

Ai yo.

Housekeeper, look. Good thing the Fragrance Society members have already left.

Or else my four major district Chairman reputation will be destroyed!

Lord, calm down. Lord, calm down.

Fu Lin, give him money!

Yes.

Thank you, thank you.

Mr. An, other than my mom I don't have any other relatives.

Right now, you and Teacher are my closest people.

Other than my dad, you are also the most intimate and important person to me as well.

Mr. An, you have to escape death.

If you're badly wounded,

I will take care of you for life.

Le Yan! Le Yan!

Heaven hs eyes, I've found Mr. An, Le Yan.

Although he is badly hurt, thankfully he was hanging on a tree.

I've already carried him back to the Flower Temple.

Le Yan! Don't run so fast!

I'm sorry child.

To be honest, I really like you. But I have to lie to you

and use you.

Don't cry anymore. This is proof that we're fated to be together.

We should smile instead.

But the wounds on your body are too severe. How about I take you to go see a doctor?

Silly thing, am I not a doctor?

These wounds aren't deep. I just need to rest for a few days.

Really?

You don't even believe me?

Le Yan, I like to see you smile.

Once you smile, my wounds will heal.

So you should smile more.

Mr. An, why are you staring at me like that?

No reason, I was thinking its fortunately that yesterday

you only temporarily lost your sense of smell and hearing.

Or else, if you really became a deaf who has no sense of smell,

what would you do?

If I really become a disabled person who has no sense of smell

or cannot hear,

would you still want me?

No matter what you become, I will always want you.

When you did that to me yesterday...

at the time, I was angry and scared at the same time.

But when I saw your shoes

and realize it was you,

I didn't know how to react anymore.

I, what did I do to you yesterday?

You forgot it all?

Yesterday night...was my first...

I was really scared at the time.

A lot of things happened last night, I don't remember any of it.

It's okay if you don't remember.

I haven't told anyone this.

Not even Mom and Teacher knows.

But don't worry, I don't blame you.

After last night,

I am more certain than ever, who I really love.

No way, Dad. Your son came back from the dead

but instead of worrying about me, you're going to punish me?

Stop lying so I'll feel sorry for you.

Ning Zhi Yuan, you've got guts!

You dare to drug your own dad?

If I don't teach you a lesson today, what nonsense will you do tomorrow?!

Dad, let me explain.

If you really found out what happened last night, you wouldn't bear to discipline me anymore.

I don't want to listen. That mouth of yours, you can talk a dead person back to life.

I won't fall for your tricks.

Dad.

Lay down!

Dad, I'm telling you the truth.

You have to know, I went through so much to get home

so our Ning family's blood won't die in your hands.

- Really? - Really.

I don't believe you!

Dad, I...

Why are you hitting so hard?

I didn't die by the devil's hand but I'm going to die by my own dad's hand.

What did you say?

You said you met the devil?

Not only did I meet the devil, I was cut seven or eight times by them and then thrown down the cliff.

You've become more and more fearless.

But your lying skills have gotten worst.

Ah!

Dad, please hit lighter.

If Mom wasn't deceased, she would feel so sorry for me.

How can you bear to hit me?

This is weird, why are you acting so well today?

Usually when you're being discipline, you aren't like this.

Runny nose and tear stricken.

I've never heard you call your own mom.

Dad, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, examine my injuries.

Examine it.

Fine. If you're lying,

I'll beat you to death!

Fu Lin! Go call Mr. An, quickly call him over!

Lord, Mr. An is not in the mansion.

After he sent you back last night, I don't know where he went.

Then go call a doctor, quickly, quickly!

What are you guys doing just standing there? Help Young Master up!

Quickly, quickly! Bring the best medicine!

Don't touch me, don't touch me.

Go away, go away. Just beat me to death, why do you care?

Zhi Yuan, this isn't the time to argue with Dad.

Look at how badly you're wounded. You should have told Dad sooner.

We'll settle this later, okay?

Settle? We have to settle this? Then do it now.

Since I'm injured everywhere expect my butt, just beat me to death.

Okay, okay. We'll forget about how you drugged me, okay?

Let's heal your injures first, okay?

I'll deal with the pain.

Quickly, quickly. Lift Young Master up.

Be careful! Hey, the hand!

My butt.

I can't believe you're really the police commissioner.

Le Yan, you have keep this a secret. Don't let anyone find out.

I understand. You have an important task at hand.

It's easier to investigate if you hide your identity.

I wanted to force Ning Hao Tian to let those kidnapped women go in order to save his daughter

I never thought you would interfere.

I'm sorry, Mr. An. I was being a know-it-all.

It's not that you're a know-it-all. It was all my fault.

I shouldn't have hidden my real identity from you.

What you did yesterday was really brave. Do you know how much I admire you?

But I created more trouble.

Mr. An, I really shouldn't have suspected you.

I should have realized earlier.

Why would you purposely harm Lady Ning?

You must have your own reasons.

However, I don't understand

why Teacher and you think that

this devil looking for brides case is related to the Ning family?

These are classified police information so I cannot tell you.

But please remember my words.

Ning Hao Tian is most likely the devil.

I believe you.

Mr. An, then was it Lord Ning who tried to kidnap me last night?

It can't be. Someone as cunning as Ning Hao Tian

would not have risked revealing his identity last night in that peculiar incident.

From what I understand, I believe there is another devil other than Ning Hao Tian.

The first twelve missing girls were Ning Hao Tian's doing.

But the recent six, including Chun Miao and Xia Chang,

must be the doing of devil.

Good thing my sense of smell has revived.

In the future, I can be of help to your investigation like Teacher is.

There are a lot of people I don't trust when it comes to this.

You must promise to help me keep this a secret.

Don't tell anyone else what happened on the cliff last night.

Why?

Because we don't know the identity of those kidnappers.

If they find out it was me who rescued you and sabotaged their plan,

it will be a lot harder for me to continue investigating this case.

No wonder you were wearing a mask the whole time last night.

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

My mom and I will are on your side.

I heard from Mr. Qui that your mom has already accepted the wedding gifts from the Wen family.

You are going to marry Wen Shi Xuan.

But I won't marry.

Then what will you tell your mom?

I...I'll wait until you explain it my mom.

I'm investigating the case right now so I don't want to focus on relationships yet.

Then, then I'll wait for you.

I'll just refuse to marry.

Your mom will be very sad if you do that.

How about this? Agree to this marriage first.

Huh?

We still have a few days before the Wen family comes to ask about the marriage.

After I get better, I'll definitely think of plan to prevent this marriage.

If that happens, you won't have to explain anything to your mom.

After I've solved the devil looking for brides case, I'll ask for your hand in marriage.

Really?

What? You don't believe even me?

I believe.

Good.

Zhi Yuan, why aren't you eating?

I don't have hands, how do I eat?

Subtitles by The Aromatic Team @Viki

Here, eat some.

Be careful, it's hot.

- Is it good? Eat some more. - It's good.

Zhi Yuan, does your wounds still hurt?

Other than my butt, it doesn't hurt anymore.

Dad, you beat me too hard.

Isn't is all because of you?

Weren't you cruel to me?

I used the drug that you made. How could it have harmed you?

I'm not as cruel as you are.

I'm not talking about how you drugged me.

I'm talking about how in the middle of the night, you almost gave up your life for a woman.

Do you not understand that I only have you, this one precious son?

Don't you understand why I usually expect so much from you?

It's because you are my life.
