It is better for a girl to refrain from drinking., If you drink too much it harms your health.

How could you know my feelings?

If it was not for me, Xiao Song would have been fine.

I have been through this.

How do you plan to punish Huai Yin?

We will punish him as the law dictates.

He is a suspect for murder.

I fear it will be capital punishment.

He cannot die!

Actually...the person buried in that tomb was my cousin.

Yin Wan Wan.

What was the cause of her death?

Because of me.

We were all still young then.

My family and the Huai clan were close for many generations.

And we were betrothed since birth.

Cousin! I am here!

Because Yin Wanwan had a crush on Huai Yin,

But the only one Huai Yin loved was me,

so my cousin who has always been proud

married someone else in a fit of anger.

I thought that after Wan Wan married,

everything will improve.

Who knew

her husband abused her as a habit, kicking and striking at her.

Wan Wan was tortured

and in the end died in her husband's home.

I did not expect such a tragic story behind this.

Huai Yin and I felt that

we destroyed Wan Wan's life.

we would bury Wan Wan in the place she loved the most, Suzhou.

And Huai Yin and I

decided to never marry in this life.

That is probably the most touching story.

Huai Yin does not wish to bring up the past,

but it's impossible he is the killer.

He has always been kind and merciful,

he will never murder anyone.

Do not worry,

we will definitely investigate this case thoroughly.

I hope my words can help Huai Yin.

You cannot forget about him?

Miss Ran.

We are both locked in the same dream.

It is growing late, I will go back now.

You rest up soon.

Thank you for pointing it out to me.

Farewell.

In the same dream?

If this is a dream,

then let me drink myself to a stupor.

It's impossible for Brother Huai Yin to be the murderer.

All evidence points to him and he refuses to say anything

I can only sentence him to the execution of a government minister.

What you mean is...

Execution tomorrow.

Team leader.

Do you not want to know the truth?

I want to know if His Lordship is dead or alive.

You better pray that His Lordship is still alive.

That way you have a chance to live.

As they say just before death, their words are kind.

Brother Huai Yin only wishes to tell the truth.

When Xiao fish is investigating a case, he often gets to the truth.

But,he will not give up on the truth.

Let him speak.

Speak.

The name of the woman in the tomb is called Yin Wan Wan.

She is the cousin of the owner of the Yingmei manor, Yin Miao Miao.

The Huai and Yin family have been close for generations.

And Miao Miao and I were betrothed since birth.

We grew up together and were childhood sweethearts.

Loved each other deeply.

We thought that she would be the one I would marry in this life.

But...

I betrayed her.

Yin Miao Miao's cousin stayed at the Yin family manor.

Cousin I'm here!

I was deeply

attracted by the purity of her nature.

I felt something special towards her.

From then on,

I discovered,

the feelings that I had towards Miao Miao,

were only the feelings between sibilings.

And what I felt for Wan Wan were the feelings you have for a lover.

betrayed Miao Miao.

I abandoned Miao Miao at the wedding alter.

And gave the cicada ornament that I was supposed to give to her

to Wan Wan as well.

Perhaps it was because of my hesitation,

that disappointed Wan Wan.

It was because of me she married an abusive man

and one who was addicted to drinking as well.

It was because I let her down

causing her to...

So to atone for your sins,

you buried Yin Wan Wan in the hiills

overseeing her forever,

and never marrying.

When Miao Miao told me

Wan Wan was no longer in the world,

I knew..

I will never be able to forget her.

There is poison in the flower! Hurry and put the mask on!

Why do l.find that this mask.-... is useless?

Xiao fish!

You're still alive?

Of course I have to make it back alive

in order to pay you for your service.

Li Yuan? Why is it you?

Why did you not faint?

Because I took the antidote beforehand.

Turns out...you were the snow demon.

It was you...who purposefully lured me out.

After Ran Yan left, I scratched the snow demon

And found her lair.

As everyone felt that I was captured by the snow demon,

so I turned the scheme to my advantage.

I did not expect the snow demon to reside here.

Why do you have this?

Who are you?

I secretly went to find Bai Yi yesterday night,

to announce to everyone

that he will execute him publicly.

Why did you do that?

The snow demon only kills couples who are engaged in affairs, elopes or abandons their spouses.

I suspected Li Yuan at first,

but when Huai Yin told me that

he originally planned to give this ornament to Yin Miao Miao

but in the end gave it to Yin Wan Wan,

I was thinking as Yin Wan Wan was already dead,

then why is this ornament in the snow demon's hands?

And why did she erect her lair near Huai Yin's dwellings?

I think Huai Yin and the snow demon,

have an intimate relationship.

The scent I could smell of the snow demon

was from this ornament?

Why do you have it?

I stole it from the owner of the manor.

I do not want her to yearn for that stinky man again

But I believe that...

the show demon was simply an accomplice.

The real mastermind may have turned her love to hatred

and went to kill those those couples engaged in affairs.

And it was for that reason,

she will not allow the man she loved to die so easily

in the hands of the authorities.

So you and Huai Yin set this up,

to lure that demon out, but did not expect... you would lure out the fake.

I pushed you into the passageway.

I am the murderer.

These stinky men,

went to find lovers behind their wives' backs

and used their wives as a tool.

for their frustration.

I do hate them.

And I hate Huai Yin too.

That man who once betrayed Mistress!

They all deserve death.

I must kill them all!

It was Mistress who gave me a 2nd chance in life.

I am indebted to her.

It's a shame...

I couldn't kill Huai Yin with my two hands!

Li Yuan!

How can you be so foolish?

I knew the snow demon would come so I prepared myself beforehand.

And got everyone to wear the masks.

But I still fell for it.

Seems like someone poisoned us again.

She is already dead.

There is no way to investigate it.

Before someone added something to our food.

So we checked each meal stringently.

And so...

it's impossible for you to add anything to our food.

I was poisoned too.

Perhaps...it was the water.

Yesterday night I did not drink the water at the manor.

I only drank wine.

I was wondering why Mistress Yin suddenly came to find me.

And told me the story behind her cousin and Huai Yin.

It seems, you did not only lie to me,

you also added something to my alcohol.

Miss Ran.

Come and find me after you find evidence.

Yin Miao Miao!

This minister needs to see your sachet.

Why is there Devil's Snare in your pouch?

Li Yuan is simply a scapegoat.

You used her to kill people.

Every time at the murder scene

you would throw those pear blossoms that were covered in Devil's snare using the wind.

Knocking them out so that they will have no strength left.

Then got Li Yuan to disguise herself as the snow demon and murder them.

You avenged yourself by killing 27 men.

As for the women who seduced them,

you would not kill them so easily.

You probably tortured them slowly.

My Lord you are wrong.

Yin Miao Miao said she only killed 26.

Not 27.

Guo Fu did not die from poisoning and then had his blood bled out.

Instead someone shot a metal arrow into his neck and then drained him dry of blood.

They then disguised it as a murder of the snow demon.

It's so chaotic.

The one who killed him was not Li Yuan and Yin Miao Miao.

And we have not been able to find those 26 women.

I fear they are more likely dead.

Oh yes.

I discovered something.

Yin Miao Miao seems to care about the light so much.

Light?

Could she be...looking at the time?

Fox, please help me out.

Fine, fine.

What?

You've switched.

Lord Xiao couldn't get me to talk, so you came.

You think that just because we're women,

I would tell you where those women are?

We are very similar.

We are both women who were abandoned.

My husband...

disappeared on the day of my wedding.

That story was such a coincidence.

Do you think someone will marry a female examiner?

We are both women who were abandoned

on the day of our wedding.

No-one knows,

how much I cared about this love.

Ever since I was able to comprehend the world,

I felt Huai Yin was mine.

never expected that

Yin Wan Wan could steal him away so easily.

Miao Miao,

can we cancel...our wedding?

For her...

I let you down.

it has nothing to do with Wan Wan.

But....

the wedding gift is delivered here

and the invitations have been sent out.

I really like this ornament,

I wish to wear it on my wedding day.

I wish to give this ornament to Wan Wan.

I let you down...

I wish to cancel the wedding.

Even that ornament....

Huai Yin wanted to give it to Yin Wan Wan.

So I hate them.

You hate those couples who betrayed the wife.

And you sucked the blood of those men and placed them in the flasks,

and buried them in her grave.

You wanted to use that blood to defile her.

It is already 7pm.

Are you still unwilling to tell me where those women are?

It is too late.

What do you mean?

I can tell you the truth now.

Those women are all alive.

All 26 are alive.

I've been torturing them all this time.

I've tortured some of them for over a decade.

But you said it was too late.

They would have been alive.

It's a shame..

Their blood has probably all been bled out by now!

Madwoman! You're mad!

Whether I am mad or not is no longer important.

What's important is, I won this round.

You just wait to collect their bodies!

Tell me where they are! Where are they?!

I transferred them to the secret passage.

You all heard.

I'll go immediately.

It's too late.

You lied to me?

Our acting was better than yours!

I know you hate me.

But I want to tell you something.

Put down your hatred.

And let those in love have their happiness.

That is the best way you can forgive yourselves.

Do you really think...

you won this time round?

What does she mean by this?

Could she..

Li Yuan is not the snow demon?

The snow demon is tall and slender.

But Li Yuan is not tall.

If the snow demon painted herself white,

then when she bites, she will leave some white powder behind.

Perhaps it is because she spends a lot of time in the caves

and comes out only in the night,

so she is much more paler than average.

Li Yuan is not the killer!

You got her to pretend to be the snow demon.

She knew that only if she dies

can you be safe.

She did it to repay her debt.

You used her kindness

You are too cruel!

Why is there nothing here?

We fell for her trap!

Ran Yan!

My Lord! The entrance we came in has been sealed.

Hurry! Let's go the other way!

Let's go!

After we go through the coming of the cups ceremony*, we can be together.

Do you not wish to marry me?

The destiny between

you and I are finished.

Do you wish to see those women die?

I seem to have come at a bad time.

My Lord?

You promised that you will marry me.

I fear he did not agree to marry you

rather is was you

who used the lives of those 26 women to threaten him.

So what?

We will be husband and wife very soon.

I discovered that you like pear blossoms very much.

The flower patch in your garden was tendered very well.

I am very curious

about what you used to fertilize it.

My Lord I've found that

Manor owner Yin used human bodes as a fertilizer.

26 female skeletons with 26 male skeletons.

In total 52 bodies, I found all of them.

Yin Miao Miao. Your crimes are unforgivable!

Why do you keep ruining my marriage?!

And you keep stopping me.

I only wish to be with Brother Huai Yin.

Miao Miao,

Turn back.

Put down that merciless weapon you have

and let's start afresh.

You told me to put down the past?

You told me to put this behind me?

if you did not abandon me at the altar back then,

how could I have become a murderer today?

It was you who pushed me.

It was you and Yin Wan Wan who destroyed me.

No-one destroyed me.

You make the decisions in your life.

You are all bullying me!

You are all evil!

All the love...All the hatred...

Let it all end here

Wan Wan!

Wan Wan is it you?

Wan Wan?

Wan Wan, I am Huai Yin

I am Huai Yin.

I am Huai Yin.

Bai Yi.

Do not come here.

Yin Wan Wan is not dead.

Who was buried in that tomb?

That was just to hide the truth, I found a female body around the same height at Yin Wan Wan to replace her.

Didn't expect you would believe it.

Where's Ran Yan?

You think I will tell you?

That is impossible!

I despise being threatened the most!

It's a shame...

I can tell how important she is to you.

I can use here to threaten you.

She is merely a girl.

Do you think I would care?

If I want a woman, there are plenty everywhere!

That Ran Yan, is merely a tool.

Once I get tired of her, I will dispose of her.

I do not care about,her at all!

These heartless men!

Cousin! Cousin!

Cousin!

I never expected...

that the person who would protect me

would be the one I despise the most.

My Lord! I am the cause of this.

Please can you punish Miao Miao lightly.

I am willing to be punished on her behalf.

And bear all punishments on her behalf.

Enough!

It's been over a decade.

You cannot forget each other.

But I cannot stand the two of you together!

But right now,

It's fine.

I do not want to hate anymore.

I am tired.

Where's Ran Yan? Hurry and tell me where Ran Yan is?!

Fox...

Where are you?

Mother!

I am always been indebted to you husband.

I should have abided my duty as your wife, and took care of our daughter

however today I allowed my daughter to commit such a sin

ruining the ancestral memorial tablets causing mother-in-law to die in a fit of fury,

causing such a grave sin.

I feel that I cannot atone for this sin.

I can repay it with my death.

It turns out she committed suicide.

My Mother did not commit suicide!

You only bring disaster, caused your Mother to commit suicide because of you.

You reflect on your actions here.

Mother...

Mother...

Mother.

Coming! Coming!

It's so late, who is it?

Girl?

What's wrong with her?

She's poisoned by the thunder god vine.

The poison has reached deep inside her, I cannot save her.

I came to find you so that you can save her!

Hurry!

My fault for leaving you this lifetime of loneliness

What's left is the scalding wait through all four seasons

Girl!

I am so useless!

I cannot save you!

Girl!

I came to find you, what do you mean by that?

What do you mean you're useless?

There is no way to cure her.

I do not care, you must save her in any way you can think of!

I remember now.

I once read a brilliant book

It has several ways to cure poisoning.

There was one way to cure poisoning that had reached the patient's heart.

Only the catalyst for it was too cruel.

What is it? Hurry and tell me!

It requires the venom of the poisonous asiatic toad mix it with 5 inches of spring onion.

As well as...

the flesh on the tip of a human heart!

Only then can you cure the patient of posion!

Freezing all the persistence I had from then on

Heat the water.

Prepare the knife.

Did my best to embrace that shadow of you but left with emptiness

My fault for leaving you this lifetime of loneliness

What's left is the scalding wait through all four seasons

The times when snow falls in your life

I cannot see them all

Fear that our love will be even further than separation from you

My Lord, you're here?

Is she alright?

That girl is fortunate, she will not die.

My Lord please come in.

I should have believed you.

And placed you in so much danger.

It is my fault.

Su Fu.

Su Fu.

Su Fu....

Su Fu..

It was fortunate you told me otherwise I would not have known

that her life was no longer at risk.

My Lord.

Please come here.

This girl is fortunate, she will nto die.

Why does she live in the ancillary building?

You're interested in something like that?

I want to know everything about her.

My Lord, she had always been different since young.

She was the alien in other people's eyes.

And was rejected by her family.

Only her mother encouraged and supported her allowing her to do the things she likes.

She has always been close with her Mother.

Then why did her Mother commit suicide?

When the girl was young, she accidentally smashed her ancestral memorial plate.

And on that day, the Ran family lost an important business venture.

And so her Father Ran Wen pushed all the blame onto her.

Causing her Mother to commit suicide in regret.

But she believes..

that her Mother did not commit suicide,

instead murdered.

Her Father Ran Wen did not believe the words of a child.

Despite suffering so much hardship, that pitiful girl

can still survive so optimistically until now.

She would run out and earn money.

And use this money to employ people

to investigate where her Mother was buried.

Said she plans to open the coffin to examine her body.

My Lord.

Right now her greatest wish in life

was to find her Mother's body and

overturn the case.

Do not inform Ran Yan what I found out tonight.

Yes.

Girl? You made it back alive?

Old Man, you didn't get your wish this time again.

Looks like I have to pester you for another few years.

No! For several decades!

Enough!

My old back.

When I heard you say that, I feel my blood pressure rising, difficult to breathe and wish to have a short life.

Master.

Thank You.

Why do I feel so touched by that?

I want to shed a few tears.

No, don't thank me.

I only mixed the antidote for you.

You should thank that future husband of yours who is willing to slice his flesh up for you.

What do you mean?

Girl you are so lucky.

In order to save you, yo'ur future husband Su

he sliced the flesh on the tip of his heart in order to produce the catalyst for your medicine!

Su Fu?
