1
00:01:42,459 --> 00:01:44,379
This play about Lv Bicheng and Qiu Jin,

2
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,280
the two roles are hailed the Twin Heroines,

3
00:01:47,379 --> 00:01:48,920
both devoted to putting the world right.

4
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,280
We need to dig deeper

5
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,159
into their different philosophies.

6
00:01:52,879 --> 00:01:54,640
Both fought for women's standing,

7
00:01:55,159 --> 00:01:57,159
but Qiu Jin advocated revolution

8
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,260
while Lv Bicheng advocated education.

9
00:02:00,060 --> 00:02:00,819
Qiu Jin believed external oppression

10
00:02:00,900 --> 00:02:03,180
had to be removed without delay.

11
00:02:03,420 --> 00:02:04,680
Lv Bicheng believed that

12
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,459
if a woman had no strong inner longing

13
00:02:07,459 --> 00:02:09,960
for independence and freedom,

14
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,319
what use was even the

15
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:17,379
fiercest external struggle?

16
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:18,400
Director Liang,

17
00:02:18,439 --> 00:02:19,939
do you think my understanding is right?

18
00:02:20,060 --> 00:02:20,539
I believe

19
00:02:20,539 --> 00:02:21,599
both of their views

20
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:22,400
are valid.

21
00:02:22,479 --> 00:02:23,460
They simply approach the question

22
00:02:23,460 --> 00:02:24,319
from different angles.

23
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:24,960
Exactly.

24
00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:26,639
All of you, keep refining it.

25
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:27,400
- Yes.
- Yes.

26
00:02:40,479 --> 00:02:41,000
Pingjun,

27
00:02:42,979 --> 00:02:43,740
what's wrong?

28
00:02:44,479 --> 00:02:45,460
Is something the matter?

29
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,120
It's just some family matters.

30
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:51,300
Director,

31
00:02:51,719 --> 00:02:52,680
may I

32
00:02:52,939 --> 00:02:54,439
leave work early today?

33
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:55,379
Of course.

34
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,520
If anything is wrong,

35
00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:02,479
be sure to tell me.

36
00:03:04,259 --> 00:03:05,060
Thank you.

37
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,900
Let go! Who are you?

38
00:03:57,719 --> 00:03:58,479
Help!

39
00:03:58,580 --> 00:03:59,500
- Somebody!
- Don't scream.

40
00:04:00,539 --> 00:04:01,219
Help!

41
00:04:02,139 --> 00:04:02,939
Somebody!

42
00:04:22,540 --> 00:04:23,180
Mr. Jin.

43
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:24,100
Mr. Jin.

44
00:04:24,319 --> 00:04:25,819
Something terrible has happened.

45
00:04:52,980 --> 00:04:55,759
[Thank you for bringing him safely.]

46
00:04:56,060 --> 00:04:57,519
[Have you also come to honor a loved one?]

47
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,220
[You miss him deeply, don't you?]

48
00:04:59,220 --> 00:05:01,620
[Otherwise, this humble woman would never]

49
00:05:01,620 --> 00:05:02,680
[have another chance to thank him.]

50
00:05:02,779 --> 00:05:04,540
[Is he someone you love deeply?]

51
00:05:05,220 --> 00:05:06,779
[It is painful to pretend]

52
00:05:06,860 --> 00:05:07,959
[not to love someone.]

53
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,019
[I have come to fulfill my vow.]

54
00:05:10,259 --> 00:05:12,439
[May we both be well from now on,]

55
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,220
[and may all go smoothly for him.]

56
00:05:22,819 --> 00:05:23,459
Changxuan.

57
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:25,639
Ruitong, what brings you here?

58
00:05:25,860 --> 00:05:26,759
Mr. Jin called.

59
00:05:27,060 --> 00:05:27,560
He said Miss Ye

60
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:28,379
was abducted

61
00:05:28,379 --> 00:05:29,019
outside the Imperial West.

62
00:05:31,819 --> 00:05:32,560
Who did it?

63
00:05:33,019 --> 00:05:34,220
He has traced the license plate

64
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:35,100
to the Tao household.

65
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:36,620
The gatekeeper saw the car

66
00:05:36,620 --> 00:05:36,980
heading west

67
00:05:36,980 --> 00:05:38,160
from East Second Street.

68
00:05:38,379 --> 00:05:39,579
The intersections are blocked.

69
00:06:28,759 --> 00:06:29,360
Changxuan,

70
00:06:29,420 --> 00:06:30,120
the city guards confirmed that,

71
00:06:30,220 --> 00:06:31,379
at the time Mr. Jin mentioned,

72
00:06:31,420 --> 00:06:31,899
a car did head this way

73
00:06:31,899 --> 00:06:33,379
toward Yuhe Bridge.

74
00:06:33,519 --> 00:06:33,879
I've sent

75
00:06:33,879 --> 00:06:34,899
two guard units there.

76
00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:36,399
To Yuhe Bridge.

77
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:36,860
Yes.

78
00:06:36,939 --> 00:06:37,699
Come on, hurry.

79
00:06:40,420 --> 00:06:41,220
- Get in.
- Move.

80
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,000
I didn't want

81
00:06:50,420 --> 00:06:51,199
to use force

82
00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:52,839
against a young girl like you.

83
00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:54,339
But

84
00:06:54,980 --> 00:06:57,759
you injured my daughter's face before,

85
00:06:58,079 --> 00:06:59,100
and I spared you once.

86
00:06:59,579 --> 00:07:01,540
Now you shamelessly

87
00:07:02,060 --> 00:07:03,959
try to steal my daughter's fiancé.

88
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,180
As her father,

89
00:07:06,660 --> 00:07:08,199
I must give her justice.

90
00:07:20,420 --> 00:07:20,939
Do you...

91
00:07:24,819 --> 00:07:26,860
do you know Ye Zhaohe?

92
00:07:37,379 --> 00:07:38,839
Now you're frightened?

93
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:41,779
It's too late.

94
00:07:42,759 --> 00:07:44,420
No one can save you today.

95
00:07:45,519 --> 00:07:46,519
Listen carefully:

96
00:07:47,439 --> 00:07:49,379
kneel before my daughter

97
00:07:49,379 --> 00:07:50,660
and apologize,

98
00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:52,660
then take your mother

99
00:07:53,379 --> 00:07:54,759
and leave Nanhuai.

100
00:08:02,759 --> 00:08:05,019
I haven't done anything wrong.

101
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:07,079
Why should I

102
00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:08,579
apologize to Tao Ziyi?

103
00:08:09,860 --> 00:08:10,439
And why should I

104
00:08:10,439 --> 00:08:12,040
leave Nanhuai?

105
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:13,819
You insolent wretch!

106
00:08:15,540 --> 00:08:16,660
A lowly

107
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,660
illegitimate girl like you,

108
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:20,779
what right do you have

109
00:08:20,779 --> 00:08:21,740
to compete with my daughter?

110
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,699
I've never let her

111
00:08:25,220 --> 00:08:26,779
suffer a single grievance

112
00:08:26,779 --> 00:08:28,160
since she was little.

113
00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:29,920
She is the moon in the sky,

114
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:30,759
while you

115
00:08:31,279 --> 00:08:33,120
are a blade of grass in the mud.

116
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,080
You really are a devoted father.

117
00:08:44,580 --> 00:08:46,220
Tao Ziyi has been doted

118
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,019
on by you all her life.

119
00:08:49,019 --> 00:08:50,960
It's truly enviable.

120
00:08:52,980 --> 00:08:53,860
I know.

121
00:08:54,580 --> 00:08:56,120
It is because you never

122
00:08:57,059 --> 00:08:59,279
had your father's guidance

123
00:09:00,759 --> 00:09:03,419
that you've become so unreasonable,

124
00:09:03,940 --> 00:09:05,500
determined to climb above your station

125
00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:07,000
and become a phoenix.

126
00:09:07,740 --> 00:09:08,779
Too bad

127
00:09:09,460 --> 00:09:10,779
everyone has their own fate.

128
00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:13,179
If you try to climb into the Yu family

129
00:09:13,379 --> 00:09:14,860
by stepping on my daughter,

130
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,740
you'll fall and shatter to pieces.

131
00:09:22,460 --> 00:09:23,779
Then what do you want?

132
00:09:24,659 --> 00:09:25,980
Are you going to kill me?

133
00:09:31,419 --> 00:09:33,179
I'll give you one last chance.

134
00:09:34,179 --> 00:09:35,279
Kneel before

135
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:36,360
my daughter

136
00:09:36,460 --> 00:09:37,679
and apologize,

137
00:09:37,980 --> 00:09:39,139
and I may spare your life.

138
00:09:44,179 --> 00:09:45,080
Mr. Tao,

139
00:09:46,379 --> 00:09:47,539
I may not have a father,

140
00:09:48,879 --> 00:09:49,840
but that doesn't mean

141
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,379
I can be bullied at will,

142
00:09:52,860 --> 00:09:53,740
or that

143
00:09:54,100 --> 00:09:55,360
I'll admit to

144
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:56,720
something I never did.

145
00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,419
I won't beg Tao Ziyi

146
00:09:59,419 --> 00:10:00,639
for forgiveness,

147
00:10:02,259 --> 00:10:03,080
because I've done

148
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:05,919
nothing wrong.

149
00:11:59,220 --> 00:11:59,620
Don't move.

150
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:01,080
Get down!

151
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:01,559
Get down!

152
00:12:01,740 --> 00:12:02,059
Down!

153
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:04,779
Down!

154
00:12:05,700 --> 00:12:06,240
Changxuan.

155
00:12:06,299 --> 00:12:06,860
Changxuan.

156
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:42,279
First you break off

157
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:45,480
your engagement to my daughter,

158
00:12:45,620 --> 00:12:46,720
and now you brazenly

159
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:47,919
come to rescue this woman.

160
00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:49,139
You clearly have

161
00:12:49,139 --> 00:12:50,080
no respect for me.

162
00:12:50,460 --> 00:12:52,139
Every mistake began with me.

163
00:12:52,740 --> 00:12:53,899
I will take full responsibility

164
00:12:54,419 --> 00:12:55,679
for all the hurt done to Ziyi.

165
00:12:56,500 --> 00:12:57,860
Direct your anger at me.

166
00:12:58,539 --> 00:12:59,559
Pingjun has been innocent

167
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:00,799
from the start.

168
00:13:01,379 --> 00:13:02,440
I will never allow anyone

169
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:03,320
to harm her.

170
00:13:08,919 --> 00:13:09,600
Let's go.

171
00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:46,179
[Do you know Ye Zhaohe?]

172
00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:53,259
Hurry,

173
00:13:53,659 --> 00:13:54,919
chase Yu Changxuan's car.

174
00:14:03,299 --> 00:14:04,120
General Yu,

175
00:14:04,220 --> 00:14:05,200
please rest assured.

176
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,120
The young lady inhaled some water,

177
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,340
but she was rescued in time.

178
00:14:08,340 --> 00:14:09,220
She is in no serious danger.

179
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:10,919
She only needs

180
00:14:10,919 --> 00:14:12,299
to rest and recover.

181
00:14:13,299 --> 00:14:14,299
We'll step outside now.

182
00:14:23,159 --> 00:14:23,779
Out of my way.

183
00:14:24,759 --> 00:14:25,600
Let me in.

184
00:14:25,879 --> 00:14:27,100
I want to see Yu Changxuan.

185
00:14:27,659 --> 00:14:29,059
Mr. Tao, you cannot go in.

186
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:30,659
Then have him come out and see me.

187
00:14:47,019 --> 00:14:47,759
Mr. Tao,

188
00:14:48,100 --> 00:14:48,940
I've already said

189
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,460
I will bear all the consequences.

190
00:14:51,980 --> 00:14:53,259
I don't mean to harm her.

191
00:14:53,259 --> 00:14:54,059
I want to ask

192
00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:54,820
where she got

193
00:14:54,820 --> 00:14:55,659
this half of the jade pendant

194
00:14:55,659 --> 00:14:56,899
and who gave it to her.

195
00:14:57,460 --> 00:14:58,759
It isn't convenient for you to go in now.

196
00:14:58,980 --> 00:15:00,539
I must get a clear answer from her.

197
00:15:01,460 --> 00:15:02,340
Pingjun.

198
00:15:02,740 --> 00:15:04,019
How is my daughter?

199
00:15:05,659 --> 00:15:06,539
Changxuan,

200
00:15:07,179 --> 00:15:08,779
how is Pingjun really?

201
00:15:09,139 --> 00:15:10,000
Rest easy.

202
00:15:10,220 --> 00:15:11,379
The doctor has already examined her.

203
00:15:11,740 --> 00:15:12,399
She is in no danger.

204
00:15:13,759 --> 00:15:14,779
Who was it?

205
00:15:16,779 --> 00:15:18,600
Whom did Pingjun offend?

206
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,340
I heard Major Li say on the phone

207
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,639
that she was pushed into the lake.

208
00:15:25,559 --> 00:15:27,019
Who could do

209
00:15:27,019 --> 00:15:28,620
such a beastly thing?

210
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:32,299
Shuwan?

211
00:16:04,679 --> 00:16:05,559
Shuwan,

212
00:16:07,700 --> 00:16:09,259
you left without a word.

213
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,500
Where did you go?

214
00:16:13,299 --> 00:16:14,940
I kept searching for you,

215
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,980
but there was never any news.

216
00:16:20,519 --> 00:16:22,659
When I decided to leave,

217
00:16:23,740 --> 00:16:24,799
I wanted nothing more

218
00:16:24,799 --> 00:16:26,179
to do with you.

219
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,480
I know

220
00:16:30,039 --> 00:16:31,299
it was all my fault,

221
00:16:31,820 --> 00:16:33,360
but listen to me.

222
00:16:33,919 --> 00:16:34,980
I truly had no choice

223
00:16:34,980 --> 00:16:36,320
back then.

224
00:16:37,059 --> 00:16:37,799
I...

225
00:16:41,460 --> 00:16:43,419
No choice?

226
00:16:46,919 --> 00:16:48,059
Tao Xili,

227
00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:50,460
you settled me

228
00:16:51,379 --> 00:16:53,879
in a small courtyard in Yixian

229
00:16:55,799 --> 00:16:57,240
and kept saying

230
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,399
you would marry me.

231
00:17:00,159 --> 00:17:01,759
I believed with all my heart

232
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,279
that a promise had finally come.

233
00:17:05,380 --> 00:17:08,420
Instead, what I waited for

234
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:12,299
was your wedding announcement

235
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,779
to Miss Tang

236
00:17:14,779 --> 00:17:16,619
in the newspaper.

237
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,420
You call that no choice?

238
00:17:21,299 --> 00:17:22,119
I know

239
00:17:23,220 --> 00:17:24,519
nothing I say now

240
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,799
can make up for my fault,

241
00:17:27,279 --> 00:17:28,940
but one opportunity

242
00:17:29,059 --> 00:17:30,460
can change

243
00:17:30,660 --> 00:17:32,400
a person's whole life.

244
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:33,839
You know

245
00:17:34,420 --> 00:17:35,480
I was only

246
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,319
a junior bank clerk then,

247
00:17:37,700 --> 00:17:38,819
unable to make ends meet.

248
00:17:39,259 --> 00:17:40,440
I couldn't

249
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:41,200
even support myself,

250
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,660
let alone you.

251
00:17:43,339 --> 00:17:45,700
But one marriage

252
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:47,799
could raise me to the top overnight.

253
00:17:49,339 --> 00:17:51,039
I couldn't turn it down.

254
00:17:52,420 --> 00:17:53,359
I did

255
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:54,339
think of our future.

256
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:55,920
I planned that

257
00:17:56,319 --> 00:17:57,240
after three years,

258
00:17:57,500 --> 00:17:59,059
once I had secured my position,

259
00:17:59,259 --> 00:18:00,599
I would

260
00:18:00,859 --> 00:18:02,119
bring you home at once. I...

261
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,220
How can you be so shameless?

262
00:18:06,019 --> 00:18:07,859
You broke your word,

263
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,259
clung to wealth and power,

264
00:18:09,700 --> 00:18:11,079
and even planned to make me

265
00:18:11,079 --> 00:18:12,619
a hidden concubine.

266
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,119
Are you even human?

267
00:18:29,700 --> 00:18:31,140
Thank you for saving Pingjun today,

268
00:18:31,259 --> 00:18:32,220
General.

269
00:18:33,599 --> 00:18:34,579
It's getting late,

270
00:18:35,559 --> 00:18:36,480
so I won't keep you.

271
00:18:37,839 --> 00:18:38,700
I'll stay here

272
00:18:39,519 --> 00:18:40,539
until she wakes.

273
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,420
You have a great deal to attend to.

274
00:18:47,059 --> 00:18:48,980
There is no need to trouble yourself

275
00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:50,660
with our family's affairs.

276
00:18:51,619 --> 00:18:52,519
I saved her,

277
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,119
so I have a duty to care for her.

278
00:18:59,180 --> 00:19:00,299
I'll take good care

279
00:19:01,500 --> 00:19:02,799
of my fiancée.

280
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:08,980
If you

281
00:19:08,980 --> 00:19:10,599
truly could protect her,

282
00:19:11,799 --> 00:19:12,819
I wouldn't have to

283
00:19:12,819 --> 00:19:13,460
appear at her side

284
00:19:13,460 --> 00:19:14,740
again and again,

285
00:19:16,339 --> 00:19:17,019
would I?

286
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:26,359
Tao Xili,

287
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:28,359
let me tell you this:

288
00:19:29,759 --> 00:19:30,880
my daughter

289
00:19:31,599 --> 00:19:33,220
will not be dragged into

290
00:19:33,220 --> 00:19:34,700
anyone's romantic affairs.

291
00:19:36,299 --> 00:19:38,200
You destroyed my life,

292
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:42,200
and now you nearly

293
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,579
took my daughter's life.

294
00:19:46,279 --> 00:19:48,059
What kind of man are you?

295
00:19:53,319 --> 00:19:53,839
No, wait.

296
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,839
Pingjun is my daughter, isn't she?

297
00:19:56,700 --> 00:19:57,700
She isn't.

298
00:19:58,599 --> 00:20:00,359
She was born after I married

299
00:20:00,539 --> 00:20:01,660
another man.

300
00:20:01,900 --> 00:20:03,579
She has nothing to do with you.

301
00:20:03,579 --> 00:20:04,720
Impossible.

302
00:20:05,220 --> 00:20:06,440
If she weren't my daughter,

303
00:20:07,019 --> 00:20:07,740
how would she

304
00:20:07,740 --> 00:20:08,519
have this half

305
00:20:08,519 --> 00:20:09,779
of our love-token jade pendant?

306
00:20:10,220 --> 00:20:10,799
Look.

307
00:20:16,079 --> 00:20:17,119
How come?

308
00:20:18,220 --> 00:20:19,220
She always

309
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:21,160
thought I

310
00:20:21,279 --> 00:20:22,079
had pawned

311
00:20:22,079 --> 00:20:23,339
this pendant.

312
00:20:23,599 --> 00:20:24,079
You...

313
00:20:24,380 --> 00:20:25,400
then she is...

314
00:20:33,460 --> 00:20:34,259
Pingjun,

315
00:20:35,319 --> 00:20:36,339
you're awake.

316
00:20:53,220 --> 00:20:54,279
So,

317
00:20:57,220 --> 00:20:59,299
you abandoned my mother

318
00:21:00,519 --> 00:21:02,240
and me for your future.

319
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:08,720
I'm a sinner.

320
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,000
I failed you and your mother.

321
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:11,680
I...

322
00:21:11,859 --> 00:21:12,519
Mother,

323
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,859
why did you lie to me?

324
00:21:18,579 --> 00:21:20,579
My real father was never

325
00:21:20,579 --> 00:21:22,579
an honorable, stand-up man.

326
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:24,960
He never

327
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,220
loved our family,

328
00:21:26,220 --> 00:21:28,440
never wanted me as a daughter,

329
00:21:29,420 --> 00:21:30,000
and never

330
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,339
worked tirelessly for us

331
00:21:31,339 --> 00:21:33,180
before dying

332
00:21:34,140 --> 00:21:36,339
in an accident, did he?

333
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:41,460
Pingjun,

334
00:21:41,519 --> 00:21:42,619
forgive me.

335
00:21:43,700 --> 00:21:45,279
I shouldn't have hidden it.

336
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,119
I've wronged you.

337
00:21:48,859 --> 00:21:50,440
So my own father

338
00:21:51,940 --> 00:21:53,079
nearly killed me

339
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,839
just now.

340
00:21:59,460 --> 00:22:00,960
I'm not fit to be called a man.

341
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,200
I'm a sinner.

342
00:22:02,299 --> 00:22:04,259
I know you hate and resent me,

343
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:05,799
but why didn't you

344
00:22:05,799 --> 00:22:06,859
tell me at the river?

345
00:22:06,859 --> 00:22:08,460
What was I supposed to say?

346
00:22:09,700 --> 00:22:11,519
That I was your daughter?

347
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,619
Would you then not have kidnapped me,

348
00:22:15,799 --> 00:22:16,880
not made me kneel

349
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,299
before Tao Ziyi,

350
00:22:18,819 --> 00:22:20,160
not called me a bastard,

351
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,299
not thrown me into the river

352
00:22:21,299 --> 00:22:22,599
to drown?

353
00:22:24,619 --> 00:22:25,019
I...

354
00:22:26,259 --> 00:22:29,059
As long as I had no money or power,

355
00:22:29,980 --> 00:22:30,519
I could be insulted

356
00:22:30,519 --> 00:22:32,740
and crushed by you at will.

357
00:22:34,599 --> 00:22:35,599
Mr. Tao,

358
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:38,740
listen carefully:

359
00:22:39,660 --> 00:22:42,160
I have no father like you, an awful man

360
00:22:42,259 --> 00:22:43,779
who abandoned his wife and daughter.

361
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:44,700
I...

362
00:22:47,819 --> 00:22:48,819
My father

363
00:22:49,579 --> 00:22:50,960
is at Guanyin Pavilion.

364
00:22:51,319 --> 00:22:52,220
His name on the memorial tablet

365
00:22:52,220 --> 00:22:53,240
is Ye Zhaohe,

366
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,799
and he died long ago.

367
00:22:55,579 --> 00:22:56,259
But...

368
00:22:56,519 --> 00:22:57,819
But what?

369
00:22:58,180 --> 00:22:59,559
You want to drive my daughter to death?

370
00:23:00,099 --> 00:23:01,099
Get out!

371
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:01,559
Go!

372
00:23:01,619 --> 00:23:02,160
Fine.

373
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:02,640
I'll go.

374
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:03,220
I'll go.

375
00:23:03,500 --> 00:23:03,900
I...

376
00:23:04,039 --> 00:23:04,480
I...

377
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:08,799
Pingjun,

378
00:23:09,500 --> 00:23:10,299
Pingjun,

379
00:23:11,099 --> 00:23:12,180
it's my fault.

380
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,079
All my fault.

381
00:23:14,799 --> 00:23:15,539
Pingjun.

382
00:23:29,259 --> 00:23:30,119
Mr. Yu,

383
00:23:30,700 --> 00:23:32,519
thank you so much for today.

384
00:23:33,019 --> 00:23:33,720
We've caused you

385
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:34,920
too much trouble.

386
00:23:35,759 --> 00:23:36,859
I'm sorry,

387
00:23:37,140 --> 00:23:38,440
but please go back now.

388
00:23:39,259 --> 00:23:40,160
Don't say that.

389
00:23:41,220 --> 00:23:42,799
I've made arrangements with the hospital.

390
00:23:43,059 --> 00:23:44,319
Whatever you need,

391
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,039
find Dr. Dai.

392
00:23:48,460 --> 00:23:49,160
Or

393
00:23:50,819 --> 00:23:51,660
notify me.

394
00:24:37,940 --> 00:24:38,720
Have you heard?

395
00:24:38,900 --> 00:24:40,099
It's enormous news.

396
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:41,319
Ye Pingjun

397
00:24:41,319 --> 00:24:42,180
is actually Mr. Tao's

398
00:24:42,180 --> 00:24:43,119
biological daughter.

399
00:24:43,299 --> 00:24:43,839
Really?

400
00:24:44,019 --> 00:24:44,779
How could that be?

401
00:24:45,059 --> 00:24:45,779
It's true.

402
00:24:45,779 --> 00:24:47,480
It came from Ren'ai Hospital.

403
00:24:47,740 --> 00:24:49,779
There was quite a recognition scene.

404
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:52,319
That pheasant

405
00:24:52,740 --> 00:24:54,079
has really sprouted wings

406
00:24:54,079 --> 00:24:55,200
and become a phoenix.

407
00:24:55,460 --> 00:24:56,240
Peachbud,

408
00:24:56,460 --> 00:24:57,519
can't you

409
00:24:57,519 --> 00:24:58,740
wash your mouth out

410
00:24:58,900 --> 00:25:00,180
before you speak?

411
00:25:01,759 --> 00:25:03,059
What are you all so smug about?

412
00:25:03,539 --> 00:25:04,440
Do you think

413
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:05,259
once she is

414
00:25:05,259 --> 00:25:06,960
a banker's daughter,

415
00:25:07,099 --> 00:25:08,000
she'll come back and put on plays

416
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,200
on your shabby little stage?

417
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:09,740
Modern drama

418
00:25:09,740 --> 00:25:10,740
is her dream

419
00:25:10,740 --> 00:25:11,740
and life's work.

420
00:25:11,859 --> 00:25:12,680
It has nothing to do with whether

421
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:13,579
she's a rich man's daughter.

422
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:21,400
Before,

423
00:25:21,619 --> 00:25:23,059
Mr. Yu And Pingjun

424
00:25:23,059 --> 00:25:24,440
were separated by class.

425
00:25:24,579 --> 00:25:27,019
Now they're perfectly matched.

426
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,579
If he really loves her,

427
00:25:29,819 --> 00:25:31,599
he should marry her immediately.

428
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,299
He could book the whole

429
00:25:33,299 --> 00:25:34,599
Imperial West for you

430
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,960
and rename it the Modern Drama Hall.

431
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:38,279
Let's go.

432
00:25:52,660 --> 00:25:53,319
Sir,

433
00:25:53,460 --> 00:25:55,039
all the tonics are ready.

434
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:56,200
Would you like me to go with you

435
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,039
to the hospital?

436
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:57,720
No need.

437
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,200
I'll go myself.

438
00:25:59,799 --> 00:26:00,539
Very well.

439
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,440
Don't let Ziyi find out.

440
00:26:08,799 --> 00:26:09,579
If she asks,

441
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,980
tell her I've gone to the bank.

442
00:26:13,599 --> 00:26:14,299
Yes.

443
00:26:30,799 --> 00:26:31,680
Redo the layout?

444
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:34,279
Does it have to be delivered tonight?

445
00:26:37,279 --> 00:26:38,079
I'm sorry,

446
00:26:38,539 --> 00:26:39,559
I really can't get back.

447
00:26:40,059 --> 00:26:41,200
Can you think of another way?

448
00:26:44,980 --> 00:26:45,779
Xueting,

449
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:46,940
if the newspaper has an emergency,

450
00:26:46,940 --> 00:26:48,000
go ahead.

451
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:49,900
You have work to do.

452
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:51,779
I'll stay here at the hospital.

453
00:26:53,740 --> 00:26:54,740
It's all right.

454
00:26:55,180 --> 00:26:56,339
I've asked a colleague to handle it.

455
00:26:58,599 --> 00:26:59,400
Go.

456
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:01,819
And come back and take over for me.

457
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,460
Then we can take turns

458
00:27:03,460 --> 00:27:05,240
watching over Pingjun.

459
00:27:10,859 --> 00:27:12,200
If anything changes with her,

460
00:27:12,799 --> 00:27:13,880
let me know immediately.

461
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:16,240
Don't worry.

462
00:27:16,380 --> 00:27:17,240
Hurry along.

463
00:27:31,059 --> 00:27:31,680
Changxuan.

464
00:27:32,579 --> 00:27:33,859
How is Ye Pingjun?

465
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:34,819
Dr. Dai says

466
00:27:34,819 --> 00:27:35,779
she isn't doing well.

467
00:27:36,299 --> 00:27:37,500
She hasn't eaten or drunk

468
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:38,900
since last night.

469
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,299
Move all this afternoon's meetings

470
00:27:42,299 --> 00:27:43,339
to tomorrow.

471
00:27:43,900 --> 00:27:44,460
Yes.

472
00:28:01,220 --> 00:28:02,019
Come on,

473
00:28:02,660 --> 00:28:04,359
these oranges are fresh.

474
00:28:04,819 --> 00:28:05,940
Try one.

475
00:28:27,500 --> 00:28:28,299
Shuwan.

476
00:28:28,799 --> 00:28:29,480
Pingjun.

477
00:28:30,299 --> 00:28:31,599
What are you doing here again?

478
00:28:32,660 --> 00:28:33,460
Shuwan,

479
00:28:34,619 --> 00:28:37,519
I know my sins are unforgivable,

480
00:28:37,859 --> 00:28:39,599
but it took everything

481
00:28:39,599 --> 00:28:41,019
to find you and Pingjun.

482
00:28:41,460 --> 00:28:43,059
Won't you give me

483
00:28:43,059 --> 00:28:44,460
one more chance

484
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:45,720
to make amends?

485
00:28:46,099 --> 00:28:46,880
The best amends would be

486
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:47,819
to stay out of

487
00:28:47,819 --> 00:28:48,740
our sight.

488
00:28:48,859 --> 00:28:49,579
Get out!

489
00:28:49,660 --> 00:28:50,460
Get out!

490
00:28:50,599 --> 00:28:51,059
Get...

491
00:28:51,059 --> 00:28:51,819
Please,

492
00:28:52,819 --> 00:28:54,000
let me finish.

493
00:28:57,500 --> 00:28:58,720
I'll put an announcement right now

494
00:28:59,599 --> 00:29:01,019
and tell everyone

495
00:29:01,819 --> 00:29:03,519
Pingjun is not fatherless.

496
00:29:04,299 --> 00:29:05,720
She is my

497
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:07,920
biological daughter.

498
00:29:09,099 --> 00:29:11,299
Whether you live in Nanhuai

499
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:12,980
or anywhere else,

500
00:29:13,079 --> 00:29:14,519
I'll buy you a house

501
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,200
and hire the best servants

502
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:17,140
to wait on you.

503
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:20,000
Pingjun,

504
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,099
whatever you want to do,

505
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:24,420
I will support you

506
00:29:24,420 --> 00:29:25,900
with everything I have.

507
00:29:25,900 --> 00:29:26,759
Mr. Tao,

508
00:29:27,859 --> 00:29:29,839
stop indulging in wishful thinking.

509
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,319
My mother and I

510
00:29:33,559 --> 00:29:35,420
have lived perfectly well without you.

511
00:29:35,859 --> 00:29:38,319
But I'm your real father.

512
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:39,940
Once more,

513
00:29:40,859 --> 00:29:42,299
I have no father

514
00:29:42,900 --> 00:29:44,200
who clings to the powerful

515
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,500
and abandons his wife and child.

516
00:30:00,660 --> 00:30:01,160
What?

517
00:30:01,299 --> 00:30:02,039
Ziyi?

518
00:30:05,299 --> 00:30:05,940
What...

519
00:30:07,119 --> 00:30:08,380
what are you doing here?

520
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:09,819
Father,

521
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,579
what did she just mean?

522
00:30:15,619 --> 00:30:16,359
Listen,

523
00:30:17,339 --> 00:30:18,779
don't get upset.

524
00:30:19,279 --> 00:30:20,900
Let's go home,

525
00:30:20,980 --> 00:30:22,279
and I'll explain everything.

526
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:23,980
I want one answer now.

527
00:30:26,099 --> 00:30:27,880
Is what you said true?

528
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:37,700
Ziyi,

529
00:30:38,980 --> 00:30:42,200
I've wronged you,

530
00:30:43,140 --> 00:30:44,599
and I've wronged them too.

531
00:30:45,039 --> 00:30:46,740
This is all my fault.

532
00:30:47,039 --> 00:30:47,819
Please don't

533
00:30:47,819 --> 00:30:49,119
take it out on them.

534
00:30:49,819 --> 00:30:50,279
I...

535
00:30:54,380 --> 00:30:56,079
It's not me you've wronged;

536
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:58,240
it's my mother.

537
00:30:59,059 --> 00:31:00,400
If you announce that

538
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:01,559
Ye Pingjun is

539
00:31:01,559 --> 00:31:02,700
your daughter,

540
00:31:03,279 --> 00:31:04,400
what does that make me?

541
00:31:05,099 --> 00:31:06,740
What will people think of me,

542
00:31:06,740 --> 00:31:07,940
of my mother?

543
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,180
My mother has been dead for years,

544
00:31:12,779 --> 00:31:14,400
and now she's to be mocked as well?

545
00:31:15,900 --> 00:31:17,420
Have you no conscience?

546
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,299
This is your family's private affair.

547
00:31:20,079 --> 00:31:21,299
It has nothing to do with us.

548
00:31:22,180 --> 00:31:23,980
Settle it at home, please.

549
00:31:25,079 --> 00:31:26,740
For now, I must ask you to leave.

550
00:31:39,700 --> 00:31:40,599
Ye Pingjun,

551
00:31:41,700 --> 00:31:42,900
you play innocent

552
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:44,339
and pure,

553
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,599
and none of this concerns you, right?

554
00:31:48,380 --> 00:31:50,279
None of it concerns me.

555
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:52,740
He is your father,

556
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:54,500
not mine.

557
00:31:55,779 --> 00:31:56,839
I never wanted

558
00:31:56,839 --> 00:31:58,200
to be his daughter.

559
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,299
You're pleased with yourself, aren't you?

560
00:32:01,500 --> 00:32:03,099
A sparrow becoming a phoenix,

561
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,400
about to fly up to the high branch.

562
00:32:06,099 --> 00:32:07,220
You think that makes you

563
00:32:07,220 --> 00:32:08,440
a wealthy young lady?

564
00:32:09,740 --> 00:32:10,740
Dream on.

565
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:11,779
Miss Tao,

566
00:32:12,099 --> 00:32:13,339
show some respect.

567
00:32:14,299 --> 00:32:15,579
My daughter and I

568
00:32:16,079 --> 00:32:17,619
only want to live

569
00:32:17,619 --> 00:32:18,480
quietly.

570
00:32:23,700 --> 00:32:24,640
Then why bring this

571
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:25,700
illegitimate girl back?

572
00:32:26,740 --> 00:32:27,539
Blackmail?

573
00:32:29,279 --> 00:32:30,200
To marry him as a second wife?

574
00:32:30,980 --> 00:32:31,960
Buy yourself

575
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,119
a life of luxury?

576
00:32:34,539 --> 00:32:35,400
Tao Ziyi,

577
00:32:37,299 --> 00:32:38,880
don't you dare insult my mother.

578
00:32:43,839 --> 00:32:44,700
Well,

579
00:32:46,579 --> 00:32:47,359
do you know

580
00:32:47,359 --> 00:32:48,779
how my father described you?

581
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:53,519
He said you were

582
00:32:53,519 --> 00:32:55,380
an ill-bred bastard,

583
00:32:57,099 --> 00:32:59,380
a shameless little fox,

584
00:32:59,980 --> 00:33:00,859
low enough to steal

585
00:33:00,859 --> 00:33:02,640
another woman's fiancé.

586
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:05,579
He also said

587
00:33:06,940 --> 00:33:08,700
a woman like you

588
00:33:10,099 --> 00:33:11,880
wasn't even fit to kneel before me

589
00:33:12,740 --> 00:33:14,880
and carry my shoes.

590
00:33:18,299 --> 00:33:20,200
He called you worthless.

591
00:33:20,980 --> 00:33:22,099
Even mentioning your name

592
00:33:22,099 --> 00:33:23,240
disgusted him,

593
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:24,039
soiled his mouth.

594
00:33:24,039 --> 00:33:24,799
Let go!

595
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,039
Father,

596
00:33:31,980 --> 00:33:33,339
have you forgotten?

597
00:33:34,599 --> 00:33:36,339
When you went out yesterday,

598
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:37,940
you promised

599
00:33:38,079 --> 00:33:39,359
you would make her

600
00:33:39,359 --> 00:33:39,900
unable to stay

601
00:33:39,900 --> 00:33:41,000
in Nanhuai.

602
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,440
You'd make her life worse than death.

603
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:44,380
You said

604
00:33:47,079 --> 00:33:49,400
you'd take her life.

605
00:34:02,380 --> 00:34:03,180
Well?

606
00:34:05,940 --> 00:34:06,940
Speak.

607
00:34:09,340 --> 00:34:10,280
Cat got your tongue?

608
00:34:11,340 --> 00:34:12,679
Why won't you talk?

609
00:34:12,980 --> 00:34:14,000
Talk to me!

610
00:34:14,500 --> 00:34:15,400
Talk to me!

611
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:16,380
Please!

612
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:18,199
You insolent girl!

613
00:34:19,579 --> 00:34:20,500
Are you all right?

614
00:34:30,500 --> 00:34:31,880
Since I was little,

615
00:34:33,900 --> 00:34:34,699
you never even

616
00:34:34,699 --> 00:34:36,400
had the heart to speak harshly to me.

617
00:34:39,539 --> 00:34:41,079
Now you strike me

618
00:34:41,079 --> 00:34:42,539
for these two people

619
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,000
of unknown origin.

620
00:34:46,579 --> 00:34:47,380
Ziyi,

621
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:48,360
I...

622
00:34:48,639 --> 00:34:50,380
I can explain.

623
00:34:50,380 --> 00:34:52,139
I would never...

624
00:34:53,079 --> 00:34:54,679
I'll kill you today!

625
00:34:55,179 --> 00:34:56,539
You ruined everything!

626
00:34:56,739 --> 00:34:57,739
You ruined me!

627
00:34:57,739 --> 00:34:58,099
Let go!

628
00:34:58,099 --> 00:34:59,300
I'll kill you!

629
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:00,679
I'll kill you!

630
00:35:00,980 --> 00:35:02,000
I'll kill you!

631
00:35:02,340 --> 00:35:03,599
I'll kill you!

632
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,139
I'll kill you!

633
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:06,400
Calm yourself.

634
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:07,800
This is a hospital.

635
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:09,480
Yu Changxuan?

636
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:16,599
Seeing you is harder

637
00:35:17,980 --> 00:35:19,599
than climbing to heaven.

638
00:35:21,900 --> 00:35:24,079
But the moment anything happens to her,

639
00:35:25,900 --> 00:35:27,280
you panic like this.

640
00:35:30,539 --> 00:35:32,539
You were born to destroy me!

641
00:35:33,599 --> 00:35:35,460
You stole my fiancé,

642
00:35:37,119 --> 00:35:39,079
and now you steal my father!

643
00:35:39,519 --> 00:35:40,239
Everyone sides

644
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:41,460
with her

645
00:35:41,659 --> 00:35:43,300
and gangs up on me.

646
00:35:47,179 --> 00:35:48,300
I tell you,

647
00:35:49,340 --> 00:35:50,059
I, Tao Ziyi,

648
00:35:50,059 --> 00:35:51,500
will not endure this.

649
00:35:52,099 --> 00:35:53,980
I will make you all regret it!

650
00:35:55,139 --> 00:35:55,739
Ziyi!

651
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:56,639
Ziyi!

652
00:35:59,139 --> 00:35:59,639
Pingjun!

653
00:35:59,699 --> 00:36:00,300
Pingjun!

654
00:36:00,380 --> 00:36:01,039
Pingjun!

655
00:36:01,159 --> 00:36:01,880
Pingjun!

656
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:02,739
Get out!

657
00:36:04,179 --> 00:36:05,820
Get out!

658
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:07,679
Pingjun!

659
00:36:08,139 --> 00:36:08,940
Pingjun!

660
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:10,079
Mr. Tao,

661
00:36:10,980 --> 00:36:11,960
under the circumstances,

662
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:13,500
you should leave.

663
00:36:28,039 --> 00:36:28,840
What?

664
00:36:29,539 --> 00:36:30,539
So Changxuan

665
00:36:31,039 --> 00:36:32,199
broke off

666
00:36:32,199 --> 00:36:33,380
with Tao Ziyi,

667
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:34,699
and then Uncle Tao,

668
00:36:34,699 --> 00:36:36,380
to avenge her,

669
00:36:36,380 --> 00:36:37,980
nearly drowned Ye Pingjun,

670
00:36:38,300 --> 00:36:40,139
only for a twist of fate

671
00:36:40,300 --> 00:36:41,199
to reveal that

672
00:36:41,199 --> 00:36:42,440
Ye Pingjun is his

673
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:43,679
own biological daughter?

674
00:36:45,079 --> 00:36:46,179
My goodness.

675
00:36:46,599 --> 00:36:48,460
It's just like a stage play.

676
00:36:48,940 --> 00:36:50,780
Those three words fit perfectly:

677
00:36:51,039 --> 00:36:52,480
tangled by fate.

678
00:36:53,139 --> 00:36:54,500
Don't talk nonsense.

679
00:36:55,539 --> 00:36:57,780
Your father doesn't know yet.

680
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,159
If he finds out,

681
00:36:59,639 --> 00:37:00,739
he'll be furious.

682
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,940
But this has already caused

683
00:37:02,940 --> 00:37:04,719
an uproar at Ren'ai Hospital.

684
00:37:05,179 --> 00:37:05,960
I heard

685
00:37:06,340 --> 00:37:08,179
Tao Ziyi even came to blows.

686
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,099
The whole place was turned upside down.

687
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,500
What's all this uproar?

688
00:37:31,539 --> 00:37:32,340
Go on.

689
00:37:39,380 --> 00:37:40,400
Damn that boy.

690
00:37:41,079 --> 00:37:42,599
He was the one who insisted

691
00:37:42,599 --> 00:37:44,179
on being with Tao Ziyi,

692
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,900
and now he ends it just like that,

693
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:49,940
causing such a scene.

694
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,139
That brat

695
00:37:53,139 --> 00:37:54,739
keeps pulling these reckless stunts.

696
00:37:56,139 --> 00:37:57,460
Calm down first.

697
00:37:57,739 --> 00:37:59,340
Don't harm your health.

698
00:37:59,900 --> 00:38:01,340
Miss Ye is educated,

699
00:38:01,699 --> 00:38:03,880
refined, and generous.

700
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:05,900
I quite like her.

701
00:38:06,340 --> 00:38:07,699
Didn't you praise her

702
00:38:07,699 --> 00:38:09,079
recently yourself?

703
00:38:09,500 --> 00:38:12,340
You said she dared stand firm before

704
00:38:12,340 --> 00:38:15,039
Chu Wenfu and argue Changxuan's case

705
00:38:15,039 --> 00:38:15,880
without yielding an inch.

706
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,380
She had real spirit.

707
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:20,980
Besides,

708
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:22,800
our families were already going to be

709
00:38:22,940 --> 00:38:24,420
connected through marriage.

710
00:38:24,539 --> 00:38:26,780
Why not let Changxuan have his way?

711
00:38:27,179 --> 00:38:29,199
We could be happy to see it.

712
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:30,699
It's not that simple.

713
00:38:32,380 --> 00:38:33,699
I still don't know

714
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:34,860
how to explain myself

715
00:38:34,860 --> 00:38:35,940
to Tao Xili.

716
00:38:37,099 --> 00:38:39,079
He is a clever man.

717
00:38:39,579 --> 00:38:41,679
Surely he can see how the ledger balances.

718
00:38:43,900 --> 00:38:45,179
Let's wait and see.

719
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:48,480
Wait and see.

720
00:38:56,039 --> 00:38:56,840
Please,

721
00:38:58,340 --> 00:39:00,340
say something.

722
00:39:01,900 --> 00:39:02,880
I know

723
00:39:03,900 --> 00:39:05,519
it's all my fault.

724
00:39:06,539 --> 00:39:08,280
I shouldn't have kept it from you.

725
00:39:11,039 --> 00:39:12,300
Say something,

726
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:13,780
won't you?

727
00:39:16,139 --> 00:39:17,400
Please.

728
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,440
You stayed here all night?

729
00:42:03,380 --> 00:42:04,860
I thought if you woke

730
00:42:05,219 --> 00:42:06,519
and wanted someone to talk to,

731
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:08,380
I'd be right here.

732
00:42:13,559 --> 00:42:14,420
Yu Changxuan,

733
00:42:16,619 --> 00:42:17,380
thank you.

734
00:42:22,579 --> 00:42:23,380
I know

735
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,179
you must be heartbroken

736
00:42:29,699 --> 00:42:30,420
and in pain,

737
00:42:32,260 --> 00:42:34,059
but you haven't done anything wrong.

738
00:42:35,820 --> 00:42:37,420
There's no need to punish yourself

739
00:42:38,980 --> 00:42:40,019
for someone else's mistakes.

740
00:42:44,659 --> 00:42:45,679
All these years,

741
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,139
no matter how hard life was,

742
00:42:52,519 --> 00:42:54,179
I did everything I could

743
00:42:56,420 --> 00:42:58,559
to give my mother a better life.

744
00:43:00,019 --> 00:43:02,119
I wanted to be my father's pride,

745
00:43:05,079 --> 00:43:06,099
to become as fine a person

746
00:43:06,099 --> 00:43:07,360
as he was.

747
00:43:11,199 --> 00:43:12,239
Now

748
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,079
I find

749
00:43:19,679 --> 00:43:21,179
it was all a joke.

750
00:43:30,119 --> 00:43:30,980
Do you remember

751
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:34,659
my elder brother, the one I mentioned

752
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:37,460
at Guanyin Pavilion?

753
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:42,380
There are things

754
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:44,719
I've kept hidden

755
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:48,460
for years.

756
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,300
Once, my brother and I

757
00:43:55,099 --> 00:43:56,300
went into battle together

758
00:43:56,940 --> 00:43:58,400
and were caught in an enemy raid.

759
00:43:59,820 --> 00:44:00,760
We were both buried

760
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:01,760
under rubble.

761
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:04,019
The situation was so desperate

762
00:44:04,860 --> 00:44:05,980
that only one of us could be saved.

763
00:44:07,659 --> 00:44:08,880
My father saved my brother

764
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:11,880
and gave me up.

765
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:16,619
But fate played its cruel hand.

766
00:44:18,460 --> 00:44:19,380
My brother died,

767
00:44:21,139 --> 00:44:22,260
and I survived.

768
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:27,860
He was outstanding.

769
00:44:29,059 --> 00:44:30,260
From childhood,

770
00:44:31,539 --> 00:44:32,519
he had

771
00:44:32,519 --> 00:44:33,699
everyone's attention

772
00:44:34,980 --> 00:44:36,940
and was my father's chosen successor.

773
00:44:41,039 --> 00:44:41,920
For a time,

774
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:42,940
I treated him as a rival,

775
00:44:44,119 --> 00:44:45,519
comparing myself to him at every turn,

776
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,019
trying to catch up

777
00:44:49,059 --> 00:44:49,980
and beat him.

778
00:44:51,780 --> 00:44:53,780
I grew used to chasing his back.

779
00:44:55,780 --> 00:44:56,579
So

780
00:44:58,219 --> 00:44:59,320
after he died,

781
00:45:01,059 --> 00:45:02,059
everything in my life

782
00:45:04,460 --> 00:45:05,400
suddenly seemed

783
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:06,500
to lose meaning.

784
00:45:18,179 --> 00:45:19,079
What happened then?

785
00:45:28,059 --> 00:45:29,559
Then I met a girl.

786
00:45:30,519 --> 00:45:31,760
She taught me

787
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:34,840
not to be trapped

788
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:36,719
in empty, unreal obsessions,

789
00:45:38,039 --> 00:45:39,840
that one should live for oneself

790
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:43,500
and not need to prove

791
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,219
the worth of one's life to others.

792
00:45:50,260 --> 00:45:51,119
You've written so many

793
00:45:51,119 --> 00:45:52,760
passionate stage lines,

794
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,780
taught orphans to read and write,

795
00:45:57,079 --> 00:45:57,960
and given so many people

796
00:45:57,960 --> 00:45:59,920
the dignity and courage to keep living.

797
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,360
Did you do all that merely to prove

798
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,440
you were a good daughter to your father?

799
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,119
Because the image of your father

800
00:46:08,119 --> 00:46:08,940
has collapsed,

801
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:10,179
do you truly have

802
00:46:10,179 --> 00:46:11,460
no courage or strength

803
00:46:11,659 --> 00:46:12,519
to stand

804
00:46:13,980 --> 00:46:15,219
and walk on?

805
00:46:19,739 --> 00:46:20,360
Listen,

806
00:46:22,699 --> 00:46:23,320
you've always

807
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:24,639
had clear judgment.

808
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:28,059
You'll work this through.

809
00:46:30,980 --> 00:46:31,579
If a relationship

810
00:46:31,579 --> 00:46:32,920
harms you,

811
00:46:34,559 --> 00:46:35,559
you can keep your distance

812
00:46:35,559 --> 00:46:36,659
from it,

813
00:46:37,659 --> 00:46:38,460
even

814
00:46:39,179 --> 00:46:40,880
redefine it.

815
00:46:42,559 --> 00:46:44,019
You don't have to be

816
00:46:44,780 --> 00:46:46,239
bound by the so-called ties of blood.

817
00:46:47,820 --> 00:46:48,960
What matters now

818
00:46:50,260 --> 00:46:51,760
is living your own life well.

819
00:47:15,780 --> 00:47:16,400
Look,

820
00:47:18,099 --> 00:47:19,539
the sun rises every day.

821
00:47:22,119 --> 00:47:23,119
However long the night,

822
00:47:25,559 --> 00:47:26,679
it always passes.

823
00:47:49,199 --> 00:47:50,340
Your future

824
00:47:51,639 --> 00:47:53,559
holds so many good things

825
00:47:54,519 --> 00:47:55,639
waiting for you.

826
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:10,820
[Ye Pingjun,]

827
00:48:11,679 --> 00:48:12,940
[I've finally found you.]

828
00:48:14,300 --> 00:48:15,219
[From now on,]

829
00:48:16,980 --> 00:48:18,480
[I will never let you leave again.]
