A thousand years ago,

I was a little enchanted herb

who fell in love with my superior deity.

I could do anything for him.

When he could not defeat the God of Plague,

I risked my life to save him

and lost my three souls and six senses.

Later on,

I heard that in order to save me, my superior deity also

descended to the human world and became Herbal Lord Chu Zhimo,

while I became a little indigowoad herb

in Herbal Lord Valley.

And many years have passed.

My Herbal Lord Season 1

Episode 1

Little Woad.

Little Woad.

Little Woad!

Why are you staying in bed again?

Get up quick for me!

Let me sleep some more.

Look, your indigowoad leaves are about to wither,

and you are still sleeping!

Go and sleep under the sun if you want to sleep.

Look at the other people.

They are all doing morning exercises.

Only you are sleeping.

Based on my observations over the past days,

you'll incarnate into a human being in just a few days.

I tell you what,

try hard to incarnate into a good-looking human.

Don't bring shame to me.

But make sure you don't incarnate into

a sleek-haired and cream-faced young man.

I told you to walk faster.

In case we don't get good seats in a while.

Can't I go and bask in the afterglow at dusk?

No, no.

Here come the herb pickers!

Run away!

Run away! Run away!

This way! This way!

Why are you dawdling?

Be quick to find a place to hide yourself.

What's going on?

Where am I?

What a big yard!

With so many people!

Hello.

What sound is it? It's so noisy.

What is he doing?

Let go of me, let go!

It hurts so much!

Don't, don't!

It's scalding!

Your Ladyship, you've come around at last.

My goodness!

Could it be I've incarnated into a human being?

My dear daughter, you've woken up at last.

Are you OK?

Where does it hurt?

What are you doing?

Come on.

Let dad feel your pulse.

My deity friend,

who are you?

My dear daughter,

I'm your dad.

Don't you even know me?

Did you

fall and damage your brain?

Dad?

How can I have a dad?

Qingyun,

I brought you up with my own hands,

how could you forget me?

I'm your dad.

You don't even know dad?

Here, let dad feel your pulse.

Let go of your hand!

Your Lordship,

Her Ladyship got frightened this time,

and it's only natural for her to act weird.

She'll probably get better after a few days' rest.

Her pulse is normal though.

Lyuluo,

go and tell the chef

to decoct Ganoderma lucidum

and mountain ginseng for Her Ladyship.

Aye.

Sister Ganoderma Lucidum

and Brother Mountain Ginseng

to be stewed for soup?

Guys,

please show mercy on me.

I taste very bitter.

I don't taste good at all!

You…you…you…you…

Why are you talking nonsense?

Don't scare dad.

Your Ladyship.

Get to your feet quickly, get to your feet quickly.

Your Ladyship, be careful.

Turns out this is how I look!

What's gotten into this child?

Your Ladyship, get to your feet.

Here, here, here.

My dear daughter.

Look!

Here, here, here.

You've just recovered from a severe illness,

be quick to stay in bed and have some rest.

Here, here, here.

Sit down, sit down, sit down.

Your Ladyship, don't worry.

His Lordship is the best doctor in Daxing City.

He'll surely cure your illness.

I'll go and write a prescription now.

Take time to recuperate.

You mustn't rush about.

Your Lordship!

Your Lordship, Herbal Lord is here.

Don't bring up Herbal Lord to me.

I get angry at the thought of that man.

I don't know what enticing spell Chu Zhimo

has cast on Qingyun

to make her so keen on marrying him all day long!

This time, she almost fell from the cliff when following him

to gather herbs in Herbal Lord Valley!

Thank Heaven,

she had a narrow escape.

What is he here for again?

My deity friend,

who is Herbal Lord?

Your Ladyship,

why did you even forget Herbal Lord?

Didn't you say

you are gonna marry him?

Marry him?

Yes.

Everybody in Daxing City knows about it.

I still remember that day.

This is so nice.

Here comes Herbal Lord! Here comes Herbal Lord!

Your Lordship! Your Lordship!

Your Ladyship.

Your Ladyship!

What's wrong with you?

Your Ladyship, what are you looking at?

I'm gonna marry him!

Your Ladyship!

Did I really say that?

As sure as fate.

Your Lordship,

Herbal Lord is waiting in the front hall.

He'd like to check up on Her Ladyship.

He's just shedding

crocodile tears.

Go and send him away.

I don't want to see him.

But now Her Ladyship could wake up

thanks to the thousand-year indigowoad herb

Herbal Lord brought here.

The indigowoad herb?

After all,

he's saved Her Ladyship's life.

Just for the sake of that thousand-year indigowoad herb,

I'll go and thank him in person.

Lyuluo,

take good care of Her Ladyship.

Aye.

Indigowoad herb?

What indigowoad herb?

Make it clear to me!

Your Ladyship…

Who are you then?

Why do you keep calling me Your Ladyship?

Your Ladyship,

I am Lyuluo (Scindapsus).

Lyuluo?

Are you from the vine family?

Hello.

I…I am Woad.

I am an indigowoad herb.

What are you talking about?

You are Jiang Qingyun, daughter of the Jiang family.

The indigowoad herb has been consumed by you long ago.

What?

You were in a coma for three days and three nights.

You didn't wake up until you

took a decoction of the thousand-year indigowoad herb Herbal Lord brought here.

The indigowoad herb is only good for headaches and fever.

Why did I take the decoction?

How could it be used to save lives?

Damn it, damn it.

Not only was my real body ruined,

I've also lost much of my cultivation.

What evil have I done?

Your Ladyship,

are you all right?

I'm not all right! I'm in big trouble!

This won't do. It's no good staying here for long.

I must rush back to my home in Herbal Lord Valley for cultivation.

Your Ladyship!

Your Lordship,

Miss Jiang has taken the medicine you sent.

What's the effect?

Not known yet.

Jiang Buyan loves his daughter so much,

but he doesn't believe in my medical skill.

It seems nothing can be done this time.

Lord Jiang.

Many thanks for bringing the medicine, Your Lordship.

The thousand-year indigowoad herb

turns out to be highly efficacious.

I just lifted a finger to help.

That's an overpraise of yours, Lord Jiang.

Since Miss Jiang is fine,

I shall take leave for now.

Please stay, Herbal Lord.

The thing happened today

all because of my daughter's transgressive act

and my ineptitude in educating my daughter.

I hope you don't take offense at her.

Since Miss Jiang has an engagement to the son

of the merchant Mr. Xiao's family,

I know where the line is.

Many thanks then, Your Lordship.

Your Ladyship! Your Ladyship!

Where are you going?

Stop going after me!

Your Ladyship!

Qingyun! Qingyun!

Where are you going?

Qingyun!

I'm going home!

Where are you going, Qingyun?

Let me go!

This is your home, child.

It's not.

Don't stop me!

It's your home, child.

What smell is that?

Qingyun,

don't be rude to Herbal Lord.

Herbal Lord?

No wonder he smells of herbs.

Great tonic!

Well, well…

Your Lordship, you smell so good.

Miss Jiang,

please conduct yourself with propriety.

Qingyun, you…

What impropriety this is!

Something is not right.

You are toxic!

Qingyun!

What did you say?

Qingyun,

stop horsing around, go back to your room.

He's really toxic!

What's to be done?

Come closer.

My deity friend, were you talking just now?

What did you mean by that just now?

Come even closer.

Closer.

Qingyun, Qingyun.

Closer.

What…what's wrong with you?

Go kiss him quickly.

Be quick!

Your Lordship, marry me quickly!

Qingyun, Qingyun!

Here, here, here.

Your Ladyship!

Help Her Ladyship back to her room first.

Your Ladyship! Your Ladyship!

What's wrong with you, Your Ladyship?

Someone is here.

Wake up.

Why does she look exactly the same as me?

Could we become incarnate as a same person nowadays?

You are Jiang Qingyun, the young lady of the Jiang family.

The indigowoad herb has been consumed by you long ago.

You were in a coma for three days and three nights.

You didn't wake up until you

took a decoction of the thousand-year indigowoad herb Herbal Lord sent here.

This turns out to be Jiang Qingyun.

I'll let it go.

She ate me

and I took over her body.

We are even.

This Miss Jiang

looks very cute though.

Who are you?

Who are you?

Why do you look the same as me?

That's…

a long story.

How insolent you are!

You even dare to be my impostor!

No, no.

I mean no harm.

My real body was ruined,

I just want to borrow your body.

You wouldn't mind, would you?

I'm alive and well,

why do I have to lend my body to you?

You are only a wisp of spiritual being anyway.

It makes no difference with being dead.

How dare you curse me to die!

Don't you believe I'm gonna pull out your tongue?

That's just how things are.

People say you fell off a cliff

and lost your consciousness for good.

Your Lordship, here I am.

How did I fall down?

I'm not married yet.

I'm still so young.

How did I fall down?

Stop, stop, stop.

You are still alive.

What did you say?

Although you've been in a coma,

you still have spiritual sense.

Just that

you can only live in the space of spiritual beings.

Do you mean

I'm not a human being now,

but only a spiritual being?

All right, all right, don't cry.

I won't take advantage of you for nothing.

If you have any unfulfilled wishes,

I'll fulfil them for you.

Really?

I am a trustworthy immortal.

I'm as good as my word.

You can count on me!

I only have one wish,

which is to marry Herbal Lord Chu Zhimo.

Chu Zhimo?

The man who has poison in him?

The Herbal Lord has been suffering from a chronic illness since childhood.

I heard he's been having it ever since he was born.

That's poisoning indeed.

Are you gonna say yes or not?

Yes, yes.

Let's talk nicely.

How would I be bullied by such a little girl like you

if I didn't lose much of my cultivation?

OK.

You'll help me fulfil my wish

to marry Herbal Lord,

and I'll lend my body to you.

Really?

Let's have a high-five to vow alliance.

It's a deal.

Your Ladyship,

I'm here to give you a foot bath.

No, thanks. No, thanks.

Lyuluo,

I'll do it myself.

I'm not used to having you do this.

I'll have a foot bath later.

Your Ladyship,

you've been acting weird since you came around.

Not quite the same as you were before.

Don't you mortals have a saying that

"A scholar must be looked at with new eyes after three days' absence?"

I've been in a coma for three days.

It's only natural for me to change a little.

Don't you think so?

All right, all right, don't overthink.

Withdraw for now.

Aye.

OK.

As long as you help me fulfil my wish

to marry Herbal Lord,

I'll lend my body to you.

It's not necessarily a bad thing

to marry Herbal Lord.

He has so much herbal essence over his body after all.

If I could marry him,

wouldn't I have a pot of herbal medicine for myself?

Not only can I absorb the herbal essence for cultivation,

but also fulfil Jiang Qingyun's wish.

I'll be killing two birds with one stone.

I can smell so much herbal essence

simply by being close to him.

If I could eat him…

Sister Woad!

Sister Woad!

There's a man outside

who's been peeking at you.

Qingyun,

do you feel any better?

Who are you?

We are childhood sweethearts.

And we are engaged.

Did you forget it all?

You know me?

Young gentleman,

I fell seriously ill a few days ago,

do you know that?

I've been here.

I came to check in on you quite a few times.

But

you seem to be in a good state today,

I suppose you've made a good recovery?

I'm getting better indeed.

But since I came around,

I don't quite remember what happened before.

Even dad has just come to my mind.

So you are…

I am

Xiao Ziming, the oldest son of the Xiao family.

When you were very young,

you always liked to call me

"Brother Ziming, Brother Ziming".

Did you forget all of this?

I'm really sorry.

But I'll bear it in mind from now on.

Mr. Xiao.

Forget it.

It's OK as long as I remember you.

It doesn't matter who remembers whom,

right?

All right.

I'll come to see you again next time.

Don't bother.

I have Lyuluo to keep me company.

You don't need to come to see me.

I'm going for now.

Sister Woad,

there's another man outside.

Why is there another one?

Can't I just go to bed?

Come out.

I've seen you.

Come out quickly.

You are still hiding, aren't you?

I've really seen you.

Sister Woad.

I'll do it.

The Herbal Lord has come to deliver the herbal essence himself.

I can't miss such a good opportunity

of improving my cultivation.

I know who you are.

You are Herbal Lord.

Are you here to see me?

Let me ask you,

why did you say I'm toxic?

The poison shows effect on the days of a month when the moon wanes.

During that time, your body is like being gnawed by insects and ants,

which makes you feel like a disabled man.

Not only that,

the poison has penetrated into your bone marrow.

You won't live beyond 30!

How did you know?

That's an easy job.

I know it by smelling.

Do you know how to cure it?

What's wrong with you?

Your Lordship, be quick to marry me!

Where have you been?

It's nothing.

I'm your personal physician.

Of course I know

you keep sneezing once you

have physical contact with women.

Now the reaction gets so intense?

Tell me,

did you do anything improper on the sly?

I have a proper question for you.

What is it?

Does Jiang Qingyun have any knowledge of medicine?

Forget it.

She knows nothing about medicine.

Lord Jiang

is such a skilled doctor.

Hasn't he thought of

teaching his daughter about it?

Unfortunately, my junior apprentice-sister doesn't want to learn.

My master loves his daughter very much.

How does he have the heart to let his daughter to suffer such hardships?

He's never taught her

in so many years.

Why?

Do you have a thing for Qingyun?

No.

You can have a thing for her.

Qingyun is deeply attached to you.

I don't know what's gotten into her in recent days.

There is suddenly a great change in her temperament

and she badgers her dad

to cancel her engagement to her childhood sweetheart Xiao Ziming

and marry you instead.

Your Lordship, you are ruining others' marriage.

You are committing a sin.

A great change in her temperament?

I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it?

As a doctor,

I only take care of your body,

I don't know what you are talking about.

Xuhuai.

What can I do for you, Your Lordship?

Keep a close watch on the Jiang family.

Report to me in time

if there is anything abnormal.

Aye.

You still say you don't have a thing for her?

No.

Why do you suddenly occupy your body again?

We can't appear at the same time.

I pass out

every time you appear.

How dare you blame me?

Did you forget what you've promised me?

To help you court Herbal Lord.

When can you do that

with so few tricks?

I'm just an indigowoad herb.

How would I know how to court a man?

I knew you'd be flaky.

Fortunately, I'm well prepared.

How to Get a Husband Through Courtship?

Yes.

Just do what it says for me.

But this is too…

Perfect.

Seamless.

I'll certainly go by what it says.

Your Lordship!

Lyuluo,

who's that girl in the behind?

Why is she staring at me

and going after me all the time?

She's the daughter of the Xiao family Xiao Ya.

She's probably also going after Herbal Lord.

Let's

get a move on.

We mustn't let her overtake us.

Herbal Lord.

Herbal Lord.

Get out of the way!

Get…get out of the way!

Herbal Lord!

Herbal Lord!

Herbal Lord!

Let go of your hand.

No!

It serves you right!

Miss Jiang,

can we put the husband-courting plan on hold for a moment?

I'm really tired in both mind and body,

I have no heart for fighting anymore.

No.

Now you must wait

at the gate of the Qinghe Residence.

When Herbal Lord goes in and out of the residence

and sees how pathetic you look,

I bet his heart will soften.

Life is so hard for me!

Your Ladyship, look!

Steamed stuffed buns hot off the steamer.

Have some.

I'm not eating!

How does Jiang Qingyun

look like a lady from a respectable family even in the slightest way?

With so much stalking and badgering from her,

it'd be strange if the Lod of Herbs sets his eyes on her.

Your Ladyship,

just take a bite.

You've been going after Herbal Lord for so many days,

you'll suffer burnout

if you go on like this.

Shall we

go back to our residence for now?

All right.

Let me help you up.

Lord…

of Herbs…

Your Lordship.

Your Ladyship!

Your Ladyship!
