I wondered who it was.

Turns out it's you, that useless live-in husband.

Trying to play hero, huh?

Want to do a hero rescue?

Idiot!

My boss is talking to you.

Pretending to be deaf?

Speak!

Pretending you can't talk?

I'll smash you!

Hey!

Is it your turn to speak?

Trying to be a hero, huh?

Fine.

But first, I need to ask my big bone if it agrees.

Boss!

Are you okay, boss?

Boss!

Whoa, boss!

Who attacked me just now?

Was it you?

Was it you?

I didn't see.

It was him.

Hey, slow down!

Ah!

Move aside!

Pretty boy!

Did you sneak attack me just now?

He didn't move!

Not a bit?

Not at all.

Not at all.

Could be a turtle.

Boss!

Qingfeng Stronghold may have other experts.

Other experts?

Go back and cook it.

It's still edible.

Retreat!

Li Chengyu.

Who?

Who exactly attacked me today?

Who was it?

How could I not see?

Impossible!

I will find out.

I will tear him to pieces.

Boss, how's Chengyu?

I'll take care of him here.

Go use the backup water and cook some mung bean soup.

Detox the others first.

Got it.

Taking care of me while being sick yourself.

Li Chengyu.

Thank you.

Thanks.

So many herbs, which one is it?

Which one?

Take this one.

(Dried Tangerine Peel)

Get up and take your medicine.

Feeling better?

It's working.

All good now?

Should be fine.

So hot.

Why is it so hot?

You okay?

Li Chengyu.

Too hot!

What did you make me drink?

I just followed the recipe you gave me.

It's right there.

Step aside.

Move.

What do you mean, move?

Fine, moving!

Hey.

I am a gentleman.

No, you're serious.

Testing me.

Definitely testing me.

Jerk!

I'll make you pay with blood!

You might not believe this.

Sometimes,

I don't even know who I am.

Years ago, I fell into a river and lost my memory.

I woke up at Shihou Stronghold.

It was a den of demons.

A nightmare.

I heard from the Forth Leader about everything before.

It was you who drove away Liu Pitang.

How did you do it?

I...

I poisoned them.

I poisoned everyone at Shihou Stronghold.

That was the first time

I used these hands

to kill.

They deserved it.

It wasn't your fault.

The other sisters said the same.

So, I blindly became the leader

and taking responsibility for the entire stronghold.

I wanted, through my effort,

to let others live carefree

and unburdened.

Three years had passed. I thought...

I was doing well enough.

I could protect them.

But they said...

You're already doing well.

They wouldn't blame you.

Crying too much won't be pretty.

In the rumors,

I was fierce and scary,

over seven feet tall.

Yet you

were the first to call me beautiful.

Because you truly are.

(Li Chengyu, I find it hard to trust others.)

(But today, I told you my true feelings.)

You won't do anything to betray the stronghold,

right?

I can trust you,

right?

(Can someone like this really rebel?)

(With the evidence I provide,)

(the court soldiers will immediately suppress the bandits.)

(Those following Chen Xinrou in Qingfeng Stronghold aren't wrong.)

(Forced into rebellion,)

(they'll surely go to jail.)

Feel softhearted?

Mm?

After being with them so long, don't you have any feelings?

How could I not?

These pieces of evidence are capital crimes.

How would I know?

But I don't want them to die.

Could the evidence be faulty?

I'm just speculating.

Have you noticed anything unusual recently?

You're asking me?

Checking evidence is your job.

I just record daily events

and deliver messages to Minister Li.

Alright.

Then show me the notes you've been keeping.

Let me see them.

Why should I show you?

Only Minister Li can see them.

No.

(General)

Is this enough?

General.

Yes, General.

Stop.

Don't give me that act.

I don't care who you obeyed before,

but now that I'm here,

you only follow me.

- Understood? - Yes.

♪If you've never seen a bloom, you can't know hope♪

♪If you weren't here, I wouldn't have come♪

♪On a soda-lit night, only the wind knows my love♪

♪It's a helpless kind of feeling♪

♪Like a feather of morning love falling into the deep sea♪

♪Being unnoticed, yet I still tell you I love you♪

♪But my confession is drowned out by the wind♪

♪You can't hear it♪

♪I also want to rush forward♪

♪To give you all my heart♪

♪Yet it's pushed away by you♪

♪Whether love is spoken or left unspoken♪

♪I know you understand♪

♪It's just an accident♪

♪You longed to wander once more, by my side through the throng♪

♪I know you weren't really here for me♪

♪Yet still, who else could bring a surprise quite like you♪

♪After you left, I didn't want to let go♪

♪You brushed past me, leaving your trace in the crowd♪

♪I didn't shut you out♪

♪But I couldn't wait for you to stop♪

♪Yet I seem to clutch you, unable to let you fade into the crowd♪
