♫ Pushing open the windows and looking out, the scenery is breathtaking ♫

♫ The beauty of the spring flower is unforgettable ♫

♫ Lush and ruthless, but always fascinating ♫

♫ Getting drunk alone, I temporarily forget your scent ♫

♫ Beside the broken bridge, loneliness hid under the rocks ♫

♫ The liveliness belongs to the passerbys ♫

♫ Drowning my sorrows with wine, the prosperity can't hide the sorrow ♫

♫ I'm left with the deep feelings alone, missing you with nothing to rely on ♫

♫ I don't wish to admit that this was just a dream ♫

♫ I don't want to see the separation, everything for naught ♫

♫ Past midnight, I allow the sound of the flute to ponder upon the past ♫

♫ I'm drunk tonight, hugging the shadow to sleep ♫

[Episode 1]

[Shanghai]

It's the fifteenth day of the sixth month on the lunar calendar.

We'll be observing the rare blood moon lunar eclipse.

Chinese history has it that this is a bad omen,

but modern science has proven that this is just a superstition.

The last time the blood lunar moon eclipse appeared was two years ago during winter.

After that, the Pleiades were observed. (T/N: Pleiades are an open star cluster containing middle-aged, hot B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus.)

[Huaisong, Nan'an City]

♫ If I get obsessed for a lifetime, I will not get arrogant easily ♫

♫ If I have not seen her, I'll not miss her ♫

♫ The scars left from crying, the feeling of panic ♫

♫ Can I forget about it? ♫

♫ Listening to the story of the flute ♫

♫ Are the tears of a couple ♫

♫ We'll need a marriage and a ring ♫

♫ The feeling of missing you transforms to a butterfly ♫

I love you.

I love you, too.

♫ If our fate gets to be continued, even if it was to wither ♫

♫ I'll use my life to hold on to that stubbornness ♫

[Two years ago]

We're going to be hosting the sales manager of a listed company.

He often goes to southeast Asia for his work trips.

Today, he wants to eat the leopard coral grouper.

The leopard coral grouper comes from the sea region in Southeast Asia.

Chefs all around the world like to use native ingredients when they cook this.

As a Chinese chef, I plan to use the green pepper.

So, I'll call this dish "the drifting pepper leopard coral grouper."

The characteristic of this fish is that the flesh is smooth.

The shortcomings of it is that the flesh is too tight, the fragrance of it is not strong enough.

Using the green pepper,

will make the fish even more tender and smooth

with a special flavor.

You've a huge group of supporters there.

I can't be compared to you.

You can get off work now.

I have not introduced the dish to the customer.

You're doing the introduction? Then am I getting off work now?

Stop joking, Head Chef. You promised to let me go alone.

Do I look like I am joking?

Ye Jiayao, you have to get this clear.

You are only a temporary staff here in my kitchen.

I have given you enough opportunity by allowing you to cook.

You are clearly plagiarizing my creativity now.

You'd also promised me!

Don't you guys agree with me?

Then I...

Get off work and change out of your uniform.

It's so pretty. It can allow me to be wealthy for a few lifetimes.

Who are you?

Come out.

Ghost!

Don't come near me! Don't!

Get away!

Help!

Don't get near me! Don't come!

What's wrong?

There's a ghost! Ghost!

A ghost?

Help!

Where is the ghost?

Ghost!

Do ghosts feel pain?

Who are you?

I'm someone who was disturbed by you.

No, you're a dead person.

Ghost!

You're doing all sorts of things.

It's so pretty! It's mine now.

Little Manager Shen, hi!

What are you doing?

What I'm doing isn't important.

The most important thing is that you must have worked overtime and you should be feeling tired now.

When you're tired, you should eat!

Eating helps to warm your heart and your stomach.

This dish comes out the most often among your 13,000 photos on your Weibo. (T/N:Chinese version of Facebook)

And it's normally posted late at night, you must certainly love to eat late night snacks.

I am Ye Jiayao, the boss of this mobile night canteen.

Do I know you?

Manager Shen, you're a famous angel investor.

It's rare for someone who wants to start up their own business to not know you.

Where's the PowerPoint presentation?

[Cupid]

In modern society, people are not lacking material satisfaction.

The highest class in the service industry doesn't sell food to their customers.

What do they sell? They sell concepts.

- Get to the point. - My point is...

This "Yummy Yummy Cupid" of mine can connect love and food together.

The whole room can let you relax, the male dorks can look up to their goddess and the female dorks can fantasize about their husbands.

People in a relationship can show off all they want and people who have fallen out of love can attend a singles party.

The concept is bound to make you satisfied and would require you to give it a thumbs up.

Please support the efforts of Ye Jiayao's start up.

This is my PowerPoint.

Actually, I don't need a lot.

I only need ¥1,500,000.

¥1,500,000? For you?

Can I ask which university are you from?

My university is very average.

Talking about themed restaurants, our company is planning to invest in an app called "Eros's Private Kitchen."

The team comprises of graduates with master's degrees.

From the food supply to the research and developing of the dishes, we have everything.

We have a three-star Michelin chef. What do you have?

I...

Little Manager Shen! You have not tasted my dishes.

A friendly reminder, get rid of that "little."

Manager Shen!

Manager Shen! Give me another chance!

Little Manager Shen!

I only host a table per day.

I don't have enough ingredients.

But I have a very, very unique ingredient.

This is called the "devil's cigar." It's a kind of mushroom that growls!

I'll make you a...

"Let's growl! Mushroom steamed egg."

It's good!

Scared me to death!

Cheers!

I have to tell you.

Today! It's the last day of my life.

You're the last person I'm seeing for my entire life.

Yay!

I'll be truthful.

Today! Is also the last night I'm doing business.

You're my last customer.

The last one!

Something is not right.

Are you sick of living?

Yes. I don't want to live anymore.

I... I used ten years

to research and the results

were plagiarized by other people.

It's the professor that cared for me every single day

in the period of ten years.

What the f... ?

You should find evidence of his plagiarism.

You should put him to justice.

Catch this murderer!

Catch Xia Chunyu by all means!

See this? It's a time machine.

Time machine?

Too sad, the project failed.

Can this thing travel through time?

Theoretically, it is possible.

You almost made me believe in it.

Let's do what's important first.

They have certainly hidden my computer in this room.

There's a huge amount of evidence inside that my professor plagiarized my research results inside.

Look! The color of the moon is weird tonight.

Blood moon!

The Pleiades are covered by the moon!

Wow! What is this?

This is a ring that is filled with mystical force.

It's of a material that does not belong on earth.

A mystical force?

My professor told me that during the full moon,

the ring will have an effect on another dimension through the wormhole.

Open it, open-open-open it!

Okay!

How is it?

I want to save the world; save the people.

I want to destroy you on behalf of the moon!

Okay!

Why do I feel a little dizzy?

You do? Is that feeling different from the dizziness you get when you're drunk?

Did I eat something wrong?

That "devil cigar."

That's a poisonous mushroom?

No.

I think I saw it.

I saw it, too.

Stop!

Don't come over!

Miss Ye, don't be rash!

It doesn't work.

What happened?

Hey! What are the both of you doing?

Why are you forcing me?

We're letting you live a good life. How is that forcing you?

I'll not let you bandits tarnish my reputation even if it means dying.

Don't be scared.

- I'll protect you! - Okay!

Where are they?

Miss Ye!

Come up!

What is happening now?

Kidnapping?

These clothes, and these shoes?

Am I dreaming?

Little Manager Shen?

Is this a reality series?

Where are you going? Where are the cameras?

- Miss Ye, let me tell you. The Black Wind Fortress is just upfront. - Oh.

Little Manager Shen, have you changed your mind?

You thought that my PowerPoint (PPT) presentation wasn't bad, right?

What pi pi pi? (T/N: Pi=fart)

Miss Ye, just stay here and enjoy your life on the mountains.

Wei Liujia, this rascal, doesn't cherish girls well.

- What? What if you seek death again after I untie you? - Just untie me.

Miss Ye, just stay put.

The guys here at the Black Wind Fortress are nice; they won't mistreat you.

Is this Heng Dian? (T.N: Heng Dian= the place where most historical Chinese films are filmed at)

How are supporting actors paid here?

Who's the main lead?

This doesn't feel like a drama.

Do you see this? That machine is a time travel machine.

Can this thing time travel?

Song Qi, you've to answer my question truthfully.

First question: What is this place?

Second: Which dynasty is this?

Third: Who am I?

Have you become crazy because you were scared by us?

Answer me quickly! Tell me!

Oh my god! I've time traveled! I've time traveled!

Yiyi, thank you for getting involved in this mess.

It's my pleasure to be able to work for you.

Currently, the palace is spreading news that the Crown Prince is thinking of betraying the court

by colluding with Bai Chongye of Black Wind Fortress.

So destroying Black Wind Fortress is crucial.

But the Black Wind is a dangerous place, I'm worried for you.

We can only get close to Bai Chongye to obtain evidence.

Bai Chongye always carries a fan with him.

The painting on the fan is Master Wuliang's "Drunken Swallow Mountain."

He also likes to collect rare pearls all around the world.

I heard that the century-old pearl that was stolen was his.

If you were to help him find the pearl,

maybe you would have the opportunity to get into Black Wind.

Century-old pearl?

Stop!

Let's rest here.

We're here?

Let's go!

Go!

Come sit

This ring

will create an effect in another dimension during the full moon.

The time-traveling must have something to do with this ring.

This guys has good looks; he has what it takes to be a male lead.

When you bring me to that Black Wind place, what are you going to do with me?

The Black Wind, from the first in-charge, to the second in-charge, all the way until me,

we don't have a family.

I'm going to be the madame of the fortress?

Then does the first-in-charge look good? Like, is he handsome?

Regardless of how he looks, as long as he likes you, you have to obey him.

- Help! Help! - What are you doing?

Don't come over!

What do you want?

Didn't you hear me screaming for help?

I'm not deaf.

Then why are you not helping?

The first tip when you're out there: You don't mind other people's business.

That's not how dramas are acted out.

This brother knows the rules.

Miss Ye, are you offended?

Don't come near me! I know martial arts.

Let's go! Quick!

Help me! Help me!

Help!

What do you want?

Leave this lady and the horse carriage, you can leave here alive.

How bold. Do you know who I am?

If you offend me, you're offending the Black Wind; if you offend the Black Wind, you're offending Master Bai.

If you offend Master Bai--

Slow down!

My horse!

Wow! How thrilling!

Swordsman, thank you for saving my life.

I'm not some swordsman and I never wanted to save you.

Handsome dude, you don't have to be embarrassed. Take it easy.

You've a high-level of martial arts and you're acting in the name of justice.

In addition to your "yan zhi," I officially declare ("yan zhi" is online slang for "good looks")

that I am your little fangirl.

What is "yan zhi?"

It means that you look like a male lead.

You don't have to use Photoshop, you're handsome.

Then what's a little fangirl?

It means a little girl that is obsessed with you, just like me.

But I don't like you.

Do you have to be so direct? Why save me if you don't like me?

I've some things to settle later. Your clothing will bring unnecessary attention.

You haven't answered me! Why did you save me?

You can leave after we've settled some matters later.

I know. You're a fugitive, right?

You want me to cross the checkpoint with you acting as a couple, right?

Okay, okay. How thrilling!

Eldest Brother.

This way please, Eldest Brother.

You look a little pale after not seeing you for a few days.

The Black Wind doesn't care for these few businesses.

It'll be bad if you tire yourself out.

Noted.

You can't be too careful.

Oh, right.

I heard that your goods got discovered by the guards at Bei River, Third Brother.

This shouldn't happen to a careful guy like you.

I failed the task given to me

and caused the Black Wind to incur a loss. Please punish me.

I've said, the Black Wind doesn't care for a few businesses.

It's your turn.

It's a bad move.

Do you want to undo it?

No.

As compared to not reversing your chess move, I like a better saying, "Turning over a new leaf."

Eldest Brother,

when the previous incident happened, I already changed the people transporting the goods.

[The third day of the third month, transporting the goods out from Bei River.]

"The third day of the third month, transporting the goods out from Bei River." What is this?

Eldest Brother, this is not my handwriting. Someone is out to frame me.

Really?

Eldest Brother,

look at the chess board now. Does it look like the complicated situation we were in at Suohe Mountain?

You suddenly attacked and I settled what was behind.

The Black Wind won by just a little.

You lost your left arm because of this.

I said then that it's okay for you to have lost your left arm.

My arm belongs to you.

All these years, you've taken care of me well.

Eldest Brother, my chess skills are not compatible with your.

I ask to excuse myself.

During that fight at Suohe Mountain,

I told myself that

I'd do my best to satisfy you.

Who would have thought that you wanted Black Wind?

What do you expect me to do?

Eldest Brother!

Eldest Brother!

Eldest Brother, you gave me my life.

I'll give it to you if you want it.

I was wrong. My only fault was

not being able to let you believe me.

Eldest Brother, I hope you can

spare my woman.

Rest assured, I'll send her off as well. I'll won't let you go alone.

You...

Third Brother, you made a grave mistake.

Stop!

The two brothers here, we're going to my in-laws house there.

Yes.

Let me ask you. Where's the house?

It's at the tenth river in the east.

I remember that there is no tenth river in the east.

- There is! - Yes!

- I remember it is tenth! - Yes.

Maybe the drought dried up the remaining rivers and there's only eight left.

Right, right. Eight left.

It should be called the eighth river now.

Why does this guy look so much like Xia Chunyu?

Wife, what happened to you?

Please take pity on us, my mother in law has cancer.

If we don't go back soon, we'll be unable to see her for the last time.

Cancer? What's that?

An epidemic, vomiting non-stop.

What epidemic and cancer? Are you lying to us?

How can that be? I received the WeChat message yesterday-

I rushed back when we received the letter.

You're blabbering... What are you talking about?

And you! You talk like a county bumpkin. How could this pretty lady be your wife?

She's my wife!

There's so many people here. How annoying!

- How annoying! - Don't be shy.

Go, go.

That's about it.

Walk straight from here and you'll reach the city gates.

Fugitive, you're called Xia Chunyu?

Do you want me to repeat myself? I said you can leave now.

Don't you have to thank me then?

I risked my life to help you.

Also, you kissed me.

I kissed you, I'm sorry.

But I have also saved you, we're calling it quits now.

What if I meet the bandits again?

It's up to the gods to decide. Why should I care about your life and death?

Just one month; one month.

Let's go our separate ways after one month.

Don't mention one month. One day is not even possible.

You're a missing bride. Your family must be worried about you.

Plus, you're already married. It'll be bad for your reputation

It's okay, I don't care about those things.

That... I don't want to marry someone I don't know as well.

Get on the horse.

Get on it.

It's so high, how can a girl get on it?

You're not helping me.

Cool!

Are you ready?

I'm ready. Why are you not coming up?

This lady is interesting. I wonder who married her.

The pearl you wanted disappeared.

What happened?

The first day the pearl reached Yongcui Pavilion, Thief Fang went to steal the pearl,

then was likely cursed and died.

- What curse? - He was killed by a nail.

After he died, his eyes were dug out and there were scars on his face.

After he died, the Ninth Lady of Yongcui Pavilion stole the pearl,

then she also died

Where's the pearl then?

It went missing.

But it's good now that it went missing. The pearl is just too creepy.

Are there any people who did not die after seeing the pearl?

I think there's one.

But he's wanted now by the entire city, he's called Xia Chunyu.

Xia Chunyu?

Horse, you're so cruel.

Leave this lady and the horse carriage, you'll be able to leave here alive.

Not possible!

What do I do now?

The martial arts of this brother here is good.

Mind your own business, don't get into trouble.

There will be trouble as long as you live in this world.

I like this!

This brother also has good skills.

You're too polite.

Who are you? You actually dared to cover up for a murderer.

I am the well known master,

Fuyi! (T/N: Fu Yi=nothing in the sleeves= not corrupted/ upright)

You're Sir Fuyi?

You're that Sir Fuyi who broke Qianji Gate and chased back the Qilin bow?

I'll blow the whistle later and my horse will come. We can escape together.

"Drunken Swallow Mountain?"

Bai Chongye always carries a fan with him.

The painting on the fan is the "Drunken Swallow Mountain" by Master Wuliang.

Okay.
