Original subtitles

Though the gold mine thing

has been fully accounted for

to the central government,

the anonymous writer

called Junguan

hasn't been found out yet.

It's my fault.

Bingwen, no need to bother.

What's going on?

I've already found

this Junguan in the army.

Who?

Jiang Xueting, translation secretary

of the 9th Army.

Xueting.

What are your plans going forward?

I've found a few

like-minded friends.

We want to start a real

publication that speaks for the people.

And then?

Then, once you graduate,

we leave Nanhuai.

Get away from all this mess.

I'll rent

a small villa

with a huge courtyard

and great light.

That way

your mother can sit

in the sun every day.

And you

can fill the yard

with your favorite plantain lilies.

Pingjun.

I swear I'll give you

and your mother

a truly

peaceful, comfortable life.

I looked at several shops

before I picked this one.

I'm not sure

if you'll like it.

If you think it's too plain, I can

swap it for a new one at the silver shop.

No.

I really like it.

Let me put it on you.

Director Gu,

what is this?

Jiang Xueting, Translation Secretary

of the 9th Army General Staff.

It's been verified.

You stole military secrets and

defected to the enemy.

Arrested immediately.

Director Gu,

it must be a mistake.

Mistake or not,

Secretary Jiang knows perfectly well.

Xueting.

Pingjun.

I'm sorry.

Take him.

Move.

Don't worry.

I'm not going to do anything.

After all, you put a lot

of effort into this thing.

Is your wound better?

Much better.

Let me see.

It is healing fast.

Looks like

someone's applied medicine for you.

I'm a grown man.

This small wound

is nothing.

Brother.

When did your

acting get this good?

I almost

fell for your sincerity.

Do you remember?

Every year

on your birthday,

mom would cook noodles.

Dad and I would

go buy you this

ginger candy, rain or shine.

Qiao.

Brother.

You're back.

Here.

Dad and I searched

several alleys for this.

Try it.

It's ginger candy.

Of course I remember.

Only, those happy days

are never coming back.

Even the hardest days before

were sweet.

But now...

Brother.

When can we

leave this place?

I'm afraid you might

play along for so long that you

actually start to believe it.

Of course not.

I know very well

what's real

and what's fake.

The one who destroyed

it all is Yu Zhongquan.

I'll never

forget that.

Bingwen,

I'm going to be

with your father soon.

I'm sorry.

You and Wanqiao

must go on and live well.

Bingwen, listen to me.

Don't seek revenge.

We can't afford to cross the Yu Army.

Why's it raining this hard?

How am I supposed to go buy liquor?

This damn dog, barking nonstop.

Keep it up and I'll kill you.

Dad.

Mom.

Dad.

Mom.

Mother,

rest in peace.

I will avenge you.

Young Master, wait.

What's up?

There's something

only you can help with.

You want me to release Jiang Xueting?

Yes.

Drive.

Young Master.

Young Master.

Even if Xueting

really wrote that report,

he'd just joined the Yu Army.

How could he know

those high-level secrets?

Someone must have used him.

You sure you want this favor?

Yes.

Then you

should know your place.

What do you want?

Cut all ties with

Jiang Xueting from now on.

Be with me.

Just say yes,

and I'll give you

whatever you want.

Jiang Xueting and I are getting married.

How does a dead man get married?

Yu Changxuan.

I actually

thought better of you.

Thought there was

still some good in you.

Thought at least there was

some decency between us.

But turns out

you haven't changed at all.

Des...

Despicable.

Shameless.

Filthy.

What else?

I'll take it all.

If I want something,

I never care about the means.

Only the result.

Yu Changxuan, you're insane.

Yeah.

I'm insane.

From the day I found

this hairpin,

I kept it hidden.

No one could look at it

or touch it.

I just thought,

one day I'd give it back to you myself.

Put it on you with my own hands.

Psycho.

Let go of me.

Let go.

Always like this.

Don't think I'm easy to push around.

You are the one who won't let go.

Treat others the way you want to be treated.

Don't you get it?

Don't get smart with me.

I don't care about your philosophy.

I only know,

you're in my head

all day long.

Let go.

Shameless.

Fine. Then I'll

show you what shameless really is.

You think this hairpin

can kill me?

You won't.

I will!

You are fighting

so hard to save yourself for your man.

When Jiang Xueting did those things,

did he tell you?

Did he worry you'd get dragged in?

That you'd be put in danger?

I'm not in a hurry anyway.

I'll see how long

you can hold out.

Jiang Xueting has been sentenced to death.

When the time comes,

you'd better give him a proper burial.

Ye Pingjun.

What do you want exactly?

What is it I can't give you?

I want a pure love.

One with equality, respect.

A wholehearted love.

Love?

You're too naive.

Even now you still don't get it.

In this world,

what protects you,

what keeps you from danger and hardship

is power and status.

That's why I said

we're from

two different worlds.

Listen up, Ye Pingjun.

Whether you like it or not,

I want you, and you only!

Jin,

pull harder, and

you're gonna yank my arm off.

One wound after another.

That old one split

open again.

Turned into a hole.

Almost hit the bone.

Who's the girl

that broke your heart?

Whatever.

Yu men

are born with iron bones.

Don't get the wound wet.

I'll come check tomorrow.

Rest up.

See you, Mr. Jin.

See you.

Salute.

You're wounded.

So it shows

how brutal the war is and

how hard you fight.

Anyway, did you

nail her or not?

Cut the crap.

Calm down.

I came to tell you

Miss Ye went to the prison.

Wanted to visit that guy.

I stopped her.

Go. Leave.

Officer...

That spy will be

executed in three days.

You can collect the body then.

No visitor's allowed.

Mother.

Pingjun.

Did you see Xueting?

No.

How...

How could Xueting do something like that?

Could it

be some misunderstanding?

What sentence will he get?

Tell me.

Just tell me.

If...

if the evidence is solid,

in three days,

he'll be executed.

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Don't scare me, mother!

Mother!

Please don't scare me!

Mother!

Don't scare me, mother!

Mother!

What's with you?

Hurry, walk faster.

Nanny, don't drag me.

This is a matter of life and death.

Why can't you make one house call?

Go check again.

That poor girl Pingjun

cried herself sick.

It's not that I won't go.

I told you, I can't treat it.

Her mother needs

to go to a foreign-run

hospital.

I ran out of options already.

They only have each other.

And her son-in-law's been arrested.

Come on.

Just do a good deed.

Go take a look.

It's about someone's life. Hurry.

Pingjun, Pingjun.

The doctor's here.

I told you, I can't treat it.

Don't put me on the spot.

I...

Who are you people?

You can't go inside.

You can't go in. Stop.

Stop.

Mother.

Director Gu.

What are you doing here?

Your mother has to go

to a hospital.

If you don't trust me,

you can come along.

Kindness or ill intent, you'll find out

soon enough.

The doctor says

your mother's condition is stable for now.

I've told the hospital to

give her the best care.

You're exhausted.

Eat something first.

Yu Changxuan sent you

to guard my house?

He's just looking out for you.

Miss Ye,

if he wants something,

he always gets it.

Let me know if you need me.

Wanzhi.

Wanzhi.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Xueting. Xueting.

Please be safe.

Xueting.

I'll rent

a small villa with a huge courtyard

and great light.

That way

your mother can sit

in the sun every day.

And you

can fill the yard with

your favorite plantain lilies.

Go on, get her!

Open up.

Get in.

After Jiang Xueting came in,

he asked the guard for a few books.

I figured it was harmless, so I agreed.

You know what,

there are three kinds of people here.

Either they're

wailing and begging,

or they're toughing it out,

or they just want to die.

I've never seen

anyone like him,

reading books in here.

Gotta hand it to him.

He doesn't even flinch when facing death.

He's no ordinary man indeed.

What a pity he leaked military secrets

and defected to the enemy.

Even if heaven itself

couldn't save him now.

Miss Ye.

Your mother's lungs are already fragile.

She needs absolute quiet and rest.

And she must stay calm.

Otherwise,

no any doctor

can save her.

Pingjun,

You're a smart girl.

Look,

in Nanhuai City,

is there anything

Changxuan can't get?

He's the golden boy.

You keep resisting,

and in the end, it's your brother

who pays the price.

Right now,

there's no running.

You might as well be with him.

In a few years,

when he lets you go,

you'll still be young.

He won't shortchange

you with money.

Do the math.

Besides,

Jiang Xueting is still

waiting on you to save his life.

Pingjun,

time's ticking.

Pingjun,

what's wrong?

Mother,

I have good news.

Hanzhi's father

found a friend.

I'll be gone for a while.

I'll beg him to

let Xueting out.

Really?

Will he really help?

Don't worry.

Xueting will

come back safe and sound.

Miss Ye.

Director Gu.

Please take me to see Young Master Changxuan.

Finally came around?

I'm here, aren't I?

When are you releasing Jiang Xueting?

Releasing a suspect like him

isn't that simple.

The evidence is solid.

Procedures have to be followed.

But I will keep my word.

He'll come back alive.

Good.

Then let's begin.
