(Shiqi)

What is it?

This... this...

I...

He...

Why are you up so early?

Master?

It's not...

We...

You...

You can't spread this around.

If this gets out, how can I face anyone?

Don't worry.

I will take responsibility for this.

What happened here isn't what you think.

You mustn't spread it around.

Yes, yes.

Yes, miss.

Right.

That's what I mean.

You can't spread it around.

Understood, Master.

Got it, got it.

You knocked so early in the morning.

What is it?

The King has sent a decree.

Please have a look.

Master,

how should we reply?

I...

Diviner Song will reply after reading it.

Right.

You may leave.

Yes.

Who told you to open the door?

What do I do now?

Sorry.

I'm still not used to this body.

Don't worry.

Shiqi won't tell anyone.

Hurry and think of a way.

Help me become Grand Shaman

and get the Myriad Souls Lamp.

You can't keep making me handle official business for you.

I don't know how.

I only told you to drive Chu Li out of Jinan City.

When did I tell you to take matters into your own hands and kill her?

Understood.

(42 Days Before the City Falls)

I'm so bored.

Can't you let me go out for a walk?

No.

At this hour every day,

I sit here and handle official business.

I really brought this on myself.

I shouldn't have saved you.

This afternoon you need to inspect the sacrificial vessels.

Then you can go out.

Really?

But

I'll go with you

to avoid suspicion.

Of course.

It's just that this outfit

isn't exactly practical.

How about

I change into men's clothes and go with you?

Sure.

No.

You can't change clothes.

You're not allowed to see my body.

I can't possibly

never change clothes, can I?

Anyway, you can't change clothes.

If you look at my body,

then I'll look at...

Yours too.

Suit yourself, miss.

You...

Fine.

Wait a moment.

Uncle Maple.

Uncle Maple.

Uncle Maple.

Uncle Maple!

You don't even recognize me now?

Uncle Maple...

(You brat.)

(Stop tormenting these old bones of mine.)

Uncle Maple,

I was forced into a soul swap

and ended up in this body.

Can you think of a way

for us to switch back two hours a day?

Please, Uncle Maple?

Master.

Master,

are you talking to a tree?

So jumpy.

No, I'm not.

You must've misheard.

Master,

the King has sent a decree.

Your leave has been approved.

You can rest well at home.

Master,

are you feeling unwell?

Shall I fetch a shaman healer to examine you?

I'm not unwell.

Go, go. Get back to work.

Yes.

Go, hurry.

(You brat.)

(Do you know how many years)

(of cultivation this will cost me?)

Uncle Maple,

help me.

Talk to your brothers and sisters.

Just two hours a day is enough.

Uncle Maple.

Please, Uncle Maple.

- (Last time, to save him,) - Uncle Maple.

(I lost two hundred leaves.)

(They just grew back and you're at it again.)

(You just)

(want me to become a bald old tree.)

Please, Uncle Maple.

Uncle Maple?

Uncle Maple.

Uncle Maple.

(Alright, fine. Stop scratching.)

(I give up.)

(Only one hour.)

Thank you, Uncle Maple. Thank you.

What are you doing?

You...

What are you trying to do?

We've swapped back?

Don't celebrate too soon.

I borrowed a wisp of spirit essence from a friend.

It only lasts an hour each day.

When this mark disappears,

we'll swap back.

When the mark fades,

remember to tell me in advance.

Those geezers.

Not a single one is reliable.

This works too.

Alright now.

Time is tight. We have much to do.

Hurry and get out.

I need to bathe and change.

Oh, right.

I'm the one leaving.

(38 Days Before the City Falls)

Are you satisfied, Diviner Song?

You make quite the handsome young man.

Careful, or someone might snatch you up as a husband.

(Vessel Shop)

Mr. Zhong.

Mr. Zhong?

Greetings, Diviner Song.

I was so focused just now

that I didn't see you come in.

I beg

your forgiveness, Diviner Song.

It's fine.

I trust your work more than anyone's, Mr. Zhong.

How is the work coming along?

The deadline is really tight.

I beg you

to allow a few more days, Diviner Song.

Mr. Zhong,

the deadline isn't mine to set.

If the King holds us responsible,

neither of us can bear the consequences.

Yes. Yes.
