♫ 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 15]

Yeah, when you turn around, you're going to tattle on me again.

Why are you so petty? I already apologized to you for this. Just forget about it.

I was joking.

Then tell me. Who are you undercover for?

Why did you have to get that letter? Why is everyone coming after us?

There was nothing on that letter; it was just a blank piece of paper. It's really weird.

Fine, fine. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. We are the Smith couple, so you'll tell me eventually. (Film spy couple)

Honestly, I don't know.

But I must reveal the truth behind this case.

I trust you, it's like playing the game of Werewolf.

- If the cards we have this round are bad, we can just play another round. - It's not that easy.

It's not that hard. Think about it.

Every time you were a werewolf, I was the judge. I could help you.

- How can you help me? - When the time comes,

I'll give the prophets the wrong information.

Don't move.

- How envious. Looks like I came at the wrong time. - Eldest Brother!

Eldest Brother, y--you guys chat. I'll cook for you two.

Third Brother, you recovered quite well, seeing how you were just then.

Where did you injure yourself?

Do you know why?

Last time, I said that you were soft-hearted. Immediately after, you took someone's life.

You made a fast improvement.

Eldest Brother, I had to kill Minister Yan. He knew I was a member of Black Wind Fortress.

If I had let him go, the consequences would have been dire.

Really?

Mahjong God and Minister Yan didn't know each other at all. With your ability, how could you expose yourself? Why?

- Because... - Don't give excuses,

I know why.

It was because of Ye Jinxuan right? You were working for me, why did you have to bring her along?

- Is it really that hard to separate from her? - No, it isn't, Eldest Brother.

This woman cannot reach success, but she can very well reach failure.

- You will eventually be destroyed in her hands. I should have killed her back then. - Eldest Brother, don't.

Where is Xinyi Court's gold?

Yao Yao and I were about to be killed; and fortunately, you came to save us. We didn't have the time to worry about the gold.

Where is Xinyi Court's gold?

Eldest Brother, if you interrogate me like this, I really can't cleanse my name this time.

Minister Gao isn't an incorruptible person.

He devoured this ill-gotten fortune and shoved the blame onto you.

You really don't suspect me?

Isn't the Young Master of Stone Forest's Xie family not attracted to even gold and silver?

Although Ding Qi didn't manage to get the salt license, you gave my Black Wind such a huge mess!

- I will accept any punishment, Eldest Brother. - All right.

Then stay here within these walls to show remorse. Without my order, you cannot leave Black Wind Fortress.

Then for the rest of my life, I wouldn't be able to help Black Wind Fortress and I'll also become your burden.

- You're so mature and thoughtful. Does your injury still hurt? - Yes.

Have a good rest, I'll think of a way.

Subbing and Timing brought to you by the Ancient Modern Chef Team @Viki

I, Chunyu, respectfully greet Your Highness.

Chunyu, you're finally back.

It's good that you are back safely.

Come, sit.

Your Highness, the letter is lost. I was ambushed on the way and lost the letter.

- That's a pity. - But the letter was just a piece of blank paper.

- You opened it? - No.

- Your titular (in name only) wife opened it? - She is indeed my wife.

Doesn't matter. What's more important is, how do you know she didn't lie to you?

- I believe her. - Even if what she said is true,

it doesn't mean that a blank piece of paper is actually blank. Do you remember you once told me about

the corrupt logs in the secret chamber of Black Wind Fortress? - I remember.

I looked through every file. While they link a lot of government officials, they can't prove Bai Chongye and the Crown Prince colluded.

Does the secret chamber only contain those?

Yes.

Even though the letter is lost, so we can't find the secret hidden in the letter,

and we can't prove the Crown Prince's treason, but we are clear on one thing.

The Crown Prince and the Black Wind Fortress have a close relationship.

- Really? - If it wasn't to get the Crown Prince's secret letter, why would Minister Yan die and why would you be ambushed?

What's wrong?

You suspect me?

Why would Your Highness think that?

Even though the letter is lost, I know that there's still one item in Black Wind Fortress.

What is it?

Do you know that Black Wind Fortress is a loyal army of the government?

Bai Chongye mentioned it to me once.

Fifty years ago, the barbaric tribe of Ximin invaded our country. There were great disparities between the two forces.

Suddenly there were clashes of thunder and lightning, as if the gods were angry.

After such a vision, the Ximin barbaric tribe acted strangely

and our army won easily!

How did that happen?

It was because back then, the leader of Black Wind Fortress, Wang Su,

had a weapon that could kill one hundred thousand men in a single moment.

After the death of Wang Su, the secret of this weapon was buried.

Black Wind Fortress has such a great weapon and the Crown Prince has such a close relationship with them.

If they were honest, they should've handed the weapon over to the government.

But I really have never heard Bai Chongye bring this up.

Bai Chongye is cunning. Why would he tell other people about this?

And because of this, he's already defending against you. So, you need to hurry and find this weapon.

I understand.

- Your Highness, I want to ask one thing. - Go ahead.

If the Crown Prince really is going to rebel,

what will you do?

What you really want to ask is, whether I want to become the Emperor or not.

I don't dare.

I've never been favored by my father since I was a child, this you already know.

I'm planning this now because I don't want the future days

to become full of blood and flesh, and affect the citizens.

If the Crown Prince is indeed committing treason, then he cannot be entrusted with important tasks.

I shouldn't have asked this. Rest assured, Your Highness. I'll do my best to accomplish my given task.

- I'll go now. - Wait a moment.

At this time since you're accompanying your wife through life and death, it does seem that you two

have real feelings for each other.

From the beginning, I shouldn't have brought her along and let her face such dangerous things.

I'm afraid you both met at the wrong time.

- Your Highness. - You were able to save her this time,

but can you ensure that next time you can protect her?

Or if you let other people know about your relationship,

wouldn't they use it to force you to pick between her and our mission?

How will you choose at that time?

I don't have the right to make any decisions for you.

If it weren't for me, you two could've fled away from Black Wind Fortress and lived a happy life.

Just act like I didn't say anything.

I already said that I'll do whatever I need to do to finish.

I will leave now.

Eldest Brother, you returned from the meeting room. Did you see my Stupid Donkey?

Shouldn't Stupid Donkey be with you?

No. I've been looking for him, but I haven't found him. I thought he was with you.

This little brat.

Oh, god! Did anything bad happen to him?

- My Black Wind Fortress is not a place where anybody can enter at will. - Yes, yes.

But, speaking of which, where would he go at such an hour now?

This is bad! Don't tell me this Stupid Donkey has gone to do his undercover mission.

Idiot. His injuries aren't healed yet.

Ye Jinxuan.

- Sister-in-Law! - Huh?

- He-- - He...

I know what you are thinking about because I'm thinking the same.

No way, Eldest Brother!

If you can save her this time, what about the next time? Can you guarantee that you'll be able to protect her every single time?

Or if other people know about your relationship with her,

perhaps they'll force you to pick between her and our mission.

What will you choose at that time?

Be careful!

Don't come closer! Don't, don't, don't!

Stupid Donkey!

Master Bai.

If Stupid Donkey isn't here, what will Bai Chongye think?

Master Bai.

Eldest Brother, let's not go in.

- Why? - Out of sight, out of mind. There's some things I don't want to see.

- Then just go back. - Eldest Brother--

Master Bai.

Who is it? It's already late, we can talk tomorrow.

I'm Bai Chongye.

Master Bai? It's so late already, you want to come in for a drink?

Where's Xia Chunyu?

He's not here.

No way...

Really?

Master Bai, everyone who comes here is a guest.

Even if I'm a woman who works in a brothel, I have self-respect.

It doesn't seem like a good idea for you to barge in.

The government officials are now searching for him, it's not safe for him to be here.

Third Brother?

I said he's not here.

It's all over, it's all over.

- Eldest Brother? - Third Brother,

you're already injured and you're still in such a mood.

I really admire you.

Stupid Donkey, how will you explain this to me?

- Why did you come here? - It was you who brought Eldest Brother here, right?

- You're the one having an affair and you think you're justified? - You don't believe I will divorce you?

Eldest Brother! Eldest Brother, don't leave!

Since there seems there is to be a bloody fight soon, I'd better go. That reminds me...

I said that day you would die in the hands of a woman, I was wrong.

It won't be just one woman.

You better make things clear to me today! Do you want me or her?

Adulterers! Adulteress Liu, I wanted to tear you to pieces a long time ago!

- How long do the two of you want to continue your jealous fighting? - Take care of yourself.

I came to see Yiyi, because I haven't seen her for many days! How is that wrong?

How is that wrong? You tell me how it's not wrong! You tell me! You tell me how it's not wrong! You tell me how it's not wrong!

- What are you doing? - What do you think I'm doing? What do you think I am doing?

Am I wrong? Am I wrong? Tell me! Am I wrong?

I'll castrate you! I'll castrate you! I'll castrate you! I'll castrate you! Castrate you!

Enough. It's all right now.

He left?

Yay!

That was so exhilarating!

Hey, how was I? Was my reaction fast enough?

I'm asking you. Can you really stop this stereotypical act of an adulterous couple?

Let's give the audience some really loving and sweet scenes, all right? Any disagreements, we'll just throw ourselves at each other!

Any other disagreements and you'll pin me against the wall. Something like that!

Is everything a game to you?

Aiyo, I was just kidding.

Who is kidding with you?

Okay, okay, Great Master 007. I know I'm wrong.

But the situation earlier was really dire.

Liu Yiyi, you're quite good. Your acting wasn't bad either. Not bad. Not bad. Not bad.

- I wasn't acting. - What do you mean?

I really did come here to see Yiyi.

Enough, it can't really be real between you two.

Impossible. Impossible. Impossible. Just tell me where you went earlier.

I already said it, I really came to see Yiyi.

Oh... I know now. Are you all planning something huge?

- Hey, bring me next time. I will only be an advantage not a disadvantage. - There won't be a next time.

You came at just the right time. I have something to give you.

What is this?

- A divorce document? For me? - Yes.

The black words on the white paper explain everything clearly.

- Young Master. - You don't have a right to speak!

I know now. Is Bai Chongye still around here spying on us?

I've already given you the divorce papers.

If you refuse to listen to the truth, I can't do anything about it.

Stupid Donkey!

- Hurry and go chase him! - It's none of your business!

Stupid Donkey! Stop right there!

Stupid Donkey! Stop right there! You stop, stop, stop right there!

Don't try to trick me.

I won't be fooled.

I understand already.

What do you understand?

This storyline of yours is really too old-fashioned.

The male lead clearly likes the female lead, but for her safety, he insists on pushing her away.

This divorce paper is to ensure my safety, right?

I think you're overthinking it a bit.

Reality is not acting.

I'm divorcing you because you are no longer of use to me.

What do you mean?

As you said before,

acting as an adulterous man can only be acted once or twice, but we can't continue to put on the same act a third or fourth time.

If we keep putting on this act, Bai Chongye will become suspicious.

Since things have already developed like this, I really should divorce you now.

You're talking rubbish.

Can't we just reconcile? Why don't you just stop going to look for Liu Yiyi?

If you can't continue acting as an unfaithful man, then act as a devoted man! Bai Chongye will believe you.

It's because I can't leave Liu Yiyi.

I don't believe you.

I don't believe you like Liu Yiyi.

You kept defending and protecting me from attacks all along the way. Were all those fake?

Who said those were fake?

Since I'm such a good player at Werewolf, I'm also naturally the best undercover person.

Can you really decipher when I'm being real and when I'm faking it? Never mind you,

sometimes I can't even tell the difference myself.

But sometimes when you keep on acting and acting, it becomes real!

If that was the case, then why don't you know the things that Liu Yiyi knows?

You once told me to treat you as a partner. That won't ever be possible! Do you know why?

Because before you came, I had already chosen Yiyi.

That's true. You guys did meet earlier.

Who knows what kind of past you both have had?

Not only that,

at least she won't ever betray me.

Even if I was forced to marry you and used you as a shield for the mission,

she has never complained not one word.

But what about you?

Didn't you already forgive me?

One case of disloyalty means you can't ever be trusted.

Excuses... All of these are excuses!

Don't you just want to say that you like her more than you like me?

As long as you know it.

- Do you believe that I'll snitch on you? - Can you bear to?

Yes, you're right. I can't bear to.

I, Ye Jiayao, have never truly been serious about a man before.

It's even because of an ancient man that I've become lovesick.

Just think that I was simply using you.

Using you to get Bai Chongye to let his guard down.

Ye Jinxuan, I'm telling you.

It's best that you go and find someone who actually likes you.

And start over again.

What if I can't do that?

It doesn't matter to me whether you can do it or not.

Anyway, if there's just one more woman, then there's one more.

If you can accept Yiyi,

then maybe we can all be happy together.

What do you think?

Nonsense!

You want me to accept polygamy? You want me to become a pitiful wife who turns a blind eye?

Forget it!

These are just divorce papers, right?

Fine, I'll let you divorce me! Divorce! Divorce!

- There's no use even if you tear it. - I just want to tear and shred it apart!

I, Ye Jiayao, don't need you to divorce me.

You betrayed me first by having a mistress. You had an affair, why should you get to divorce me?

You just wait at Black Wind for my divorce letter!

On there, I will write that Xia Chunyu is not a man of his word, flirts around, and has loose morals.

I, Ye Jiayao, proudly and righteously divorce him. From now on, the two of us will have nothing to do with each other!

Oh, right.

I forgot one thing.

I'm returning this one slap to you!

Also, this lousy key to Paris, London, and Japan!

Goodbye!

Boss...

I mean, Shopkeeper, please just let me rent it for 200 taels of silver for now!

In any case, you don't have much business here. Why can't you just lower the rent for me?

300 taels. I won't accept anything less.

- Come on, shopkeeper! - Miss, if I were you

I would go back to my family and figure out how to get money instead of coming here and wasting time talking to me.

Shopkeeper, I...

I don't have any "family."

Why do I feel like that even in ancient times, I have to be an entrepreneur again?

You can do it! I am the unbeatable cockroach!

- How dare you try to rob me? How dare you try to rob me? - It's me.

Little Manager Shen?

Why are you being so sneaky and following me around?

Nainai, since you left, I, of course, had to leave with you.

You are one of Black Wind's people, why are you following me?

Nainai, people like me with bad kungfu and stupid brains,

no matter how many years I work at Black Wind, I won't ever have a proper position.

I might as well just leave to do business with you and achieve our 10 million dollar "fancies" (dream). That's better.

Stupid Donkey and I divorced, you know that. Right?

- What do you have to say? - I already said what I wanted to say. I want to leave with you!

That's true. What else can you say? I can't expect that he sent you here to persuade me to go back.

- Okay then. If you follow me, I will warmly welcome you, but there is no salary. Okay? - Yes.

If we earn money, I promise you'll get your fair share.

Whatever you say! I'll listen to you always. Nainai, what do you plan to do now?

Since I don't have lots and lots of love, then I will make lots and lots of money!

It's just a breakup! I won't cry in pity and give up on myself.

Little Manager Shen. Let's go!

Shopkeeper, I brought my business proposal here today.

I know that you won't back down on the 300 taels of silver. That's okay. Don't worry, I won't give you a single cent less!

It's just that 200 taels are in cash and the remaining 100 taels means you're joining us as a shareholder.

- Wait one second. I'll tell you about my idea and proposal. - Stop with the talk and nonsense.

Show me the money.

The money!

I really only have 200 taels left in money.

100 taels.

It's a deal.

I can rent this shop to you for 100 taels.

Huh?

Yesterday, didn't you say that you're not backing down from 300 taels?

My business in Jingzhou has had a few problems, I urgently need money.

This is the contract.

This...

Nainai, your first step towards your "dream" was already so successfully completed.

Why don't you look happy at all though?

How can there be such a coincidence?

Yesterday, he still insisted on 300 taels of silver.

Little Manager Shen, is all of this being secretly arranged by him?

You are also sent by him, right?

He... He... who is "he?"

You're asking the obvious.

Then, are you hoping that this is Third Master arranging everything secretly?

I...

Of course, I don't hope it's so! Divorce is divorce!

Only jerks will drag things out.

That's correct then. Nainai, I won't do anything that you don't want me to do.

No matter what, I will always stand by you.

Maybe that boss really is short of money.

Obviously so! It's all just a coincidence.

Nainai, then what big business do you plan to do next?

You'll find out soon enough!

Table. Table... Just put it here.

Gently, gently, gently!

Flowers! Put them here on this side. Here.

- Xiao Wang! - Ah? - Be careful.

Yes.

My business, Yummy Yummy Cupid,

is going to combine amazing food and love

all in a private room for you to relax.

A place where men can worship their goddesses and women can seduce their husbands.

A romantic, sweet place for those in love.

A place to host single parties for those who fell out of love or dealing with heartbreak.

A creative concept sure to satisfy you!

I just need a "like" from you, Little Manager Shen, to support my entrepreneurial efforts!

Dreams can be achieved no matter the time period, as long as you can make them come true!

Nainai, are you making the Black Wind Divine Water again?

I don't see any brown sugar today. Let me help you get it!

No need.

We're not in Black Wind, so we are not drinking the Black Wind Divine Water anymore.

Today, we have a new product. Called Peach-flavored carbonated drink!

Here, try it!

- It's sweet! - Right, right?

It has a light peach taste, quite different from the Black Wind Divine Water!

This is our Yummy Yummy Cupid's new product!

So then it's called Cupid Divine Water?

Don't you have any creativity?

All of my recipes came from my world's time.

My people's favorite drink, Sprite!

Hey, maybe I'll just use it's original name, Bi Chun. (Purity or Sprite).

It means the new, pure beginning of my life, turning back into the original Ye Jiayao!

Little Manager Shen. Come on, let's do cheers!

We must be happy every day! Forget about all of the unhappy matters!

Happy every day and earn 10 million!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Shopkeeper Feng.

This is the remaining 200 taels. These 50 taels are a bonus for you.

Please keep our secret. Don't betray Third Master!

Of course, of course!

Little Manager Shen?

I'm coming! I'm coming!

- Why aren't you leaving quickly? Go that way! - Okay.

- Nainai! - What's the matter? Acting so suspicious and sneaky.

I urgently needed to pee earlier.

Let me warn you, you can't be lazy today.

We are starting our business today.

When these are placed, we still have to hang up the sign board!

Nainai, why do we have to call our place, "Cupid?"

"Cupid" is the meaning of love!

Our restaurant is centered on the theme of love.

I want to connect love and food together.

I think I understand now. It must be something fun in your world, then!

I didn't expect that Manager Shen (of her time) refused to invest in my restaurant,

but now he's my employee! (referring to ancient Little Manager Shen)

I have more tricks up my sleeves for the future!

We can even do a midnight restaurant mobile cart as well!

I don't think I'll be fined during ancient times, right?

Nainai, no matter what you do, I will give you my full support.

Okay, okay!

- But I still don't think we can do it all just with the two of us. - I don't think so!

Look, we used half of our money on renovations

and the rent cost the other half of our money. We don't have any money left to hire employees!

Not so. Some people will come to help!

- Look, see! - Sang Sang and Sheng Sheng are here!

The two of you?

Thank you for what you told us last time.

Ever since we took over Yongcui Pavilion,

- my dowry has multiplied many times already! - Really?

You're still thinking about marrying?

I don't even have time to deal with those stinky men anymore!

You? Don't bother lying!

I see you hanging out and toying with different young boys every day, eating and drinking!

That's... That's all for Yongcui Pavilion's business!

- You... - All right, that's enough. Are you two here to help or what?

This is all to repay you!

Really?

Yongcui Pavilion's business is doing so well now, but you don't want to come back?

Exactly.

Third Sister-in-Law, how about you...

I'm not your Third Sister-in-Law now.

From now on, you can just call me, Jiayao.

- Jiayao? - Jiayao?

Aren't you called Ye Jinxuan?

I gave myself a new name!

Jiayao cooks fine food. ("Jia yao" sounds like good food)

A good beginning for my restaurant!

That's right. A new name, a new beginning!

You're the one full of nonsense. Hurry up,

let's help Jiayao hang up this sign quickly!

Yes, yes, yes! Come on.

Let's do it together!

One, two, three!

Let's go!

[Cupid]

Welcome, welcome! Welcome!

Welcome! Welcome, everyone!

Welcome, welcome!

It's so great!

You idiot.

I lost 3000 taels of gold and didn't even get the salt license.

You're even asking me to go out for a meal?

Master, this shop is different from the rest, though!

- What's different? - Take a look.

- Welcome to Yummy Yummy Cupid! - Welcome to Yummy Yummy Cupid!
