[Why Women Cheat]

[This story began at the beginning of the last century]

[on a few small islands in Southeast Asia.]

[At that time,]

[Fresh Flower Island and Green Leaf Island]

[were at war for a year]

[Green Leaf Island, Seventeen Island]

[due to a water conflict.]

[Finally, Green Leaf Island was victorious.]

[Fresh Flower Island had no choice but to form a marriage alliance]

[by marrying off their princess]

[to the "Sleep King" of Green Leaf Island]

[as his new queen.]

[The Sleep King is terrible!]

[He insisted on not allowing the bride's family to attend the wedding.]

[The losing kingdom who asked for a marriage alliance cannot make requests.]

[That's so pitiful.]

[It must have been difficult for them.]

[Indeed.]

Wake up.

You should wake up.

I've heard them say that

you've recently become very fond of sleeping.

But

it doesn't matter.

Since you've arrived on this red carpet,

both of us

are now considered as husband and wife.

I will marry you.

Oh, here's my dowry.

You're awake.

You would have preferred

if I never woke up.

Isn't that right?

Why have you changed ever since you became the king?

Although I left without saying goodbye back then,

I was filled with sorrow as well.

Will you listen to my explanation?

Did you bring your dowry?

I'm really curious.

What did you bring

in exchange for marrying me?

I've brought you some fruit tree seeds.

Hold on.

Your kingdom is so weak and poor.

I would like to see

if you've brought

willow seeds as fickle as a woman

or seeds of a red apricot tree that resemble an unfaithful wife.

How did you know I brought willow seeds

and red apricots?

Try one.

It's really sweet.

In fact, it's exceptionally sweet!

I swear that it's not sour at all.

Back then, my heart was filled with joy

when you sent the marriage contract to Fresh Flower Island.

But when I arrived,

I heard that my relatives were not invited.

However, my younger brother is my only family member.

Do you know why I wanted to marry you?

Or why I accepted the marriage alliance?

Although it's my fault for not saying goodbye before I left previously,

and I never mentioned that I was the princess of the neighbouring Fresh Flower Island.

Yes, that was my fault too.

However, didn't you say that

a day would arrive when I would nag you nonstop

and constantly make you angry.

I would also

spend your money,

eat your food,

and sleep in your bed.

Have you forgotten all of this?

What should I do

so that you won't be angry anymore?

I want you to stay by my side.

You will never leave this island.

When I came to this island,

I never planned to leave.

Come on.

Let us officially become husband and wife.

We will have different dreams in the same bed

starting from tonight.

Wait.

♫ The light flickers during the cool spring night ♫

♫ I'm anxious and concerned ♫

♫ Muttering about the unending sorrowful days ♫

You can only move if I let you.

♫ How long will my lovesick heart yearn? ♫

♫ Until we can hold hands and lean on the railing ♫

You can sleep while remaining in this position.

♫ My heart aches and I can't sleep. My thoughts worsen ♫

♫ The twilight on the long journey makes feelings fade ♫

♫ I can only read the old books ♫

♫ And borrow my imagination ♫

♫ To keep my future self warm ♫

♫ Explore ♫

♫ Without results ♫

♫ Collide and shatter ♫

♫ To love is to open your mouth ♫

♫ But swallow your murmurs again ♫

♫ Bittersweet ♫

♫ Dried flowers ♫

♫ Locked hearts ♫

♫ Between us ♫

♫ There is surely more than a little sweetness ♫

♫ My heart aches and I can't sleep. My thoughts worsen ♫

♫ The twilight on the long journey makes feelings fade, I can only read the old books ♫

♫ And borrow my imagination ♫

♫ To keep my future self warm ♫

Did I say that you could get up?

♫ Explore ♫

♫ Without results ♫

♫ Collide and shatter ♫

♫ The strong wind and waves ♫

Sleep.

♫ Don't billow and splash anymore ♫

♫ Bittersweet ♫

♫ Dried flowers ♫

♫ Locked hearts ♫

♫ I am something ♫

♫ That you only cherish once lost ♫

[Princess.]

[Before you leave to get married,]

[I would like to say two things to you.]

[This world]

[Fresh Flower Island's Teacher of the State]

[is very vast.]

[It's so vast that you might fail to encounter a specific person]

[throughout your entire lifetime.]

[But this lifetime]

[is very short.]

[It's so short that you could encounter someone just by raising your head.]

[The Sleep King accepted this marriage alliance with you.]

[So it seems that he understands you.]

[Green Leaf Island, Sixteen Island]

You're rolling up this piece of paper into rubbish.

But that's not surprising for someone from Fresh Flower Island.

Do you know why I'm called the "Sleep King"?

I like sleeping for long periods of time without waking up.

When I am sound asleep,

I don't have to open my eyes and see you everywhere I go.

I left without saying goodbye

and this has already become reality.

Nobody can return to the past.

But we can start again from the present.

What do you mean by "present"?

Isn't the present only here because of the previous days that passed?

If we could really turn back time,

it should be like this.

Is there a problem?

What exactly did you like about me in the past?

I...

Back then, I...

Actually, I just came to travel around and look at flowers.

You wanted to enjoy the beautiful springtime scenery

during your journey.

This must be a usual pastime

that is unique to

the honorable princess.

Traveling and viewing beautiful flowers has always been

the most important matter to our island.

Whenever I travel and appreciate the beautiful flowers,

I will always learn many things.

Most importantly, you would have learned how to attract others.

What exactly do you like about me?

I...

I like you because you are

kind and adorable.

You strive to improve and you're competent.

Are you saying that I'm ugly?

I...

You resemble a sturdy eucalyptus tree in the wind, with red lips and white teeth.

Are you saying that I'm brainless?

You are smart, intelligent, and wise.

But when I see you,

I turn into an idiot.

I'm a fool.

Isn't that right?

You're neither an idiot,

nor a fool.

You're just blind.

You can't see my heart

and you're pretending not to see my love towards you.

You came from Fresh Flower Island

so you should understand what two roses symbolize.

We are the only two people

in this world.

Welcome to a world that belongs to me.

My Queen,

there will only be the two of us from now on.

Even if you don't say goodbye,

we will surely meet again.

After this,

we will still meet each other daily.

Go and change your clothes.

As the queen,

you need to go out and briefly observe with me.

Are you just doing this for everyone else to see?

No.

Your hands are huge

so you can hold mine like this in the future.

Why should I hold your hands?

Because if you grasp my heart,

it will break

and then your queen will leave.

As your queen whom you officially wed through this marriage alliance,

I don't wish to be replaced.

You must remember

to always hold my hands like this from now on.

Arguments will be met with more arguments,

but affection must be repaid with love.

I don't want the commoners

to think that we are a joke.

My King.

My Queen.

Both of you have arrived.

This morning, the king woke up and said that he wanted to come and visit.

He wanted to see if you needed any help.

Isn't that right, my King?

Yes.

That never crossed my mind.

My King,

you travel extensively

so this ship is probably suitable for you.

My King,

I've heard that

you constructed a ship on Sixteen Island.

Back then, you constructed the ship

while studying.

A man

needs to work

to fill his belly.

This line of work involves craftsmanship,

so we need to pay close attention to the delicate workmanship.

Yes, yes, yes.

Indeed.

As for you...

You are responsible for selling and buying the ships.

Regarding these ships,

we cannot rely on oppressing the boat people on our island

by just selling the ships to them to earn a profit.

I will coordinate with the departments in charge of the ports

to open up the ports

so that people from everywhere else

can sail their cargo ships

to our seventeen islands over here.

They can dock their ships throughout the islands.

I will allow them to enter and sell their goods,

or they can barter with their ships.

China

went to sea many times and travelled the Silk Road.

That's how the Tang dynasty and Song dynasty flourished.

We can only become stronger if we circulate outwards.

I visited Tanggu once.

That place was very lively.

Every ship that docked there had to pay a one-time fee.

Don't underestimate the docking fee. They earned a lot from that.

Our small islands

don't possess an abundance of land

and we don't have many resources apart from the sea.

That's why every source of income

that doesn't come from the bottom of the sea

is particularly important.

Moreover, when something beneficial from someone else arrives,

we must make an effort to learn from it.

What makes their items good?

Is it possible for us

to be as good as them?

Yes, my King.

My King, please have a taste.

You may leave.

Give it to me.

Here.

What's wrong?

Is it sour?

That look on your face.

Why does it look like you're in great pain?

It seems like a sword has been stuck down your throat.

It's terribly sour.

This tangerine is sweet.

Tangerines never lie.

By looking at the exterior of a tangerine,

you can tell whether it's sweet or sour.

In that case,

why couldn't you tell back then that I would be a king today?

Your island chooses the king

through an election.

Meanwhile, my island,

the same way we look at tangerines,

will decide based on one's outer appearance.

This one is male.

And this one is female.

The male tangerine is sour,

while the female is sweet.

Try it again.

Did you give me the male

or female tangerine?

Even the commoners used to say that

sons are sour while daughters are spicy.

Let's see what you like.

Eat one.

This one.

This one is really good.

Is it sour?

Is it sour?

Is it sour?

Here.

What are you doing?

It's really sour.

Work hard.

Alright.

I hate you!

[Green Leaf Island, Sixteen Island]

General,

please have a seat.

How have you been, my friend?

Come and try this.

Here you go.

This is banned throughout our little island nation.

I'd advise you to keep it.

I've heard about

Green Leaf Island's new king.

But let's look at it in terms of experience.

General Hei Shi, you have always been leading

Green Leaf Island's entire Sixteen Island.

With that reasoning, the new king who ascended the throne

was supposed to be you, General Hei Shi.

Green Leaf Island

holds a general election for the new king every thirty years.

The victor in terms of character and combat will naturally be the new king.

Deep down, I'm obviously unsatisfied with the outcome.

However, what is done cannot be undone.

Don't say that.

That's why I've brought you something this time.

I've never accepted a gift from anyone.

Messenger.

Pay him.

Ah Ying.

Ah Ying!

Do you know that dancer?

Ah Ying.

Ah Ying!

The car is waiting outside the gates for you.

Thank you, Granny.

That's right, my Queen.

The King is a good person

but he has a bad temper

and he particularly loves to sleep.

Ever since he won the Green Leaf Island election

and became our king,

the people have been singing his praises.

Here are fifteen roses

to express my apology.

Is sending flowers

the only way you can convey your regret?

Meanwhile, this

is the soup that I've made for you.

Come.

You should try it.

Come on.

Are you feeding a rabbit?

There is a good saying that goes,

"Soup without salt is just water,

and a person without love is just a demon."

I was just trying to remember,

during this evening,

whether I had added salt

or not?

Did you seriously make a special trip here to provoke me?

Don't hurt my feelings just because your heart is bitter.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

I'm itching to remove your braids.

I had just recently tied these braids.

I spent more than two hours doing it.

It's all messy now.

You...

Don't you need to work on your documents?

I've made some soup.

Why did you curse me?

There's salt in it.

You've wasted all my effort.

You must be happy now.

Happy?

The word "happy"

makes my blood boil.

Before I met you,

I had never experienced happiness.

After meeting you,

I understood that

happiness is fleeting.

I swear

I will definitely

make you experience

the extreme happiness that I felt back then.

I know, and I've already apologised for this so many times.

You're kicking up a big fuss for nothing.

If apologies worked,

would murderers still need to pay with their own lives?

Don't try to explain.

I don't want to hear your excuses either.

When you're here,

you become the villain.

Everything is your fault.

My heart

is your prison cell.

You will never escape this prison in my heart, for the rest of your life.

Is this really a big deal?

You're turning your heart into a prison

when other people build prisons on land.

Why don't we do this instead?

You can build a prison in my heart,

and then,

I will lock it up.

Can you do that?

You want me to do that

in your heart?

When I'm trying to say one thing,

you hear something else.

Are you accusing me of misunderstanding?

How do I explain this to you?

Look at it this way.

Let's look at things for what they really are.

I've already apologised to you so many times,

so you should forgive me.

Please, please.

I'm begging you.

Why don't you drink this soup and forgive me?

Messenger!

Prepare a table and a chair for me.

Put them here.

Yes.

This is your dedicated seat.

Next time,

you can sit here when you visit my office.

This is great.

I won't have to look after an empty house by myself in the future.

You

are a servant.

You'll be my servant for the rest of my life.

I won't get angry if you say these things.

Previously, my parents have already told me that

a husband and wife should be each other's servants.

Look.

You've even prepared such a beautiful table and chair for me.

You're such a considerate servant.

Alright then.

My servant,

I want to drink some soup.

Is your heart

really that small?

But anyway,

a man's heart

has always been this small.

Wait for me while I go and get your soup.

If you ever dare to play tricks on me again,

you should really be careful.

Drink some.

I'm helping you to try it

to check whether the soup is hot.

However, I never imagined that

somebody would really

let it happen twice.

You never imagined that someone would let themselves be tricked twice.

Isn't that right?

When you reminded me,

I started hating myself again.

Perhaps

you enjoy making your loved ones suffer while letting your enemies rejoice.

If you cannot even strike the people you hate,

can you really say that you're blessed?

Alright, I want to drink the soup.

Why are you just standing there?

There is no place to rest my head.

Are you expecting me to sleep on the floor?

If you wish to do that, then I won't stop you.

Do you want to sleep?

I have to wait for you to sleep, before I can sleep.

I can assure you that I'll fall asleep first.

My enemy, now that you are here,

I've already made up my mind.

Hurry up, don't let me make the first move.

Move backwards.

Move further backwards.

Move backwards.

Move backwards.

Half of my body is already over the edge now.

I'll fall off if I move any further backwards.

Who said you could lie flat on your back?

If you lay on your side,

half of your body would not be over the edge.

If you don't move,

you won't fall off.

Stay in this position.

Villains don't have the right to choose.

Where's my headrest?

I'm going to sleep comfortably.

Are you rebelling against me?

This is made of mugwort.

Mosquitoes are terribly afraid of this smell.

You can sleep soundly tonight.

Who allowed you to go downstairs in the middle of the night?

What would happen if you were kidnapped by a ghost?

Have you seen a ghost? Because I have never seen one.

Moreover, a ghost would never kidnap a good person.

Don't assume that I'll forgive you

just because you made a mosquito repellent for me.

You've hurt me so terribly

that it can never be erased from my mind.

Headrest, let's go to bed.

♫ My calmness has completely vanished because of you ♫

♫ Love and longing surge in my heart ♫

♫ Unfortunately, you have always been indifferent ♫

[Come and see. Have a look.]

[Green Leaf Island, Sixteen Island]

[We won't take your money if the goods are spoiled.]

[We won't take your money if the goods are spoiled.]

[The opened clams have pearls. The clams are open.]

♫ My heart closely beats alongside yours ♫

[Big Brother, here's some water.]

[So this is how pearls are formed.]

♫ My gaze hunts your shadow ♫

[It's good to come out often and expand my knowledge.]

♫ When I see you ♫

♫ I can't find the right words ♫

♫ They say the sea and sky expand when you step back ♫

♫ I think there must be a start and end to love ♫

♫ Although you may never know my intentions ♫

♫ Although I know you don't feel the same way ♫

♫ Perhaps meeting you was a trick by fate ♫

♫ It's worth singing praises of the destiny that binds us ♫

♫ Unspeakable love can be specifically measured ♫

[Granny, be careful.]

♫ How else can it be used? ♫

[Miss, are you hurt?]

[I'm fine, Granny. I'm fine.]

[How much do these clams cost?]

[Please give me a number, I would like to buy them all.]

[Then you can go home earlier and rest.]

[Thank you, Miss.]

[You're welcome, Granny.]

[Thank you. Thank you.]

[How are you planning to use the flesh from these clams?]

[Why don't you take the pearls and give me the clams?]

[This is my first time meeting such a straightforward person like you.]

[You're not embarrassed at all when asking for something.]

[You're blushing.]

[No, I'm not.]

[Why is this happening?]

[I...]

[I have to go and study.]

[I'll give you the pearls and the clams.]

[Can you properly listen to me?]

[I want to cook the meat from the clams]

[to give it to the elderly people in the old folk's home.]

[I'll give you the pearls.]

[No need. I have pearls at home.]

[I'll leave these pearls here for you.]

[I said that I'd return them to you, so that's what I'm going to do.]

[You are probably as precious as a pearl at home.]

[In my eyes, you're the most precious pearl.]

[Which inn are you staying at?]

[I'll come and look for you tomorrow.]

[In that case,]

[why don't you exchange the meat from the clams for money]

[and give it to those in need?]

[You can consider it as a favor from me.]

[I see, you're rejecting me.]

[The more you reject me, the less likely I am to give up.]

[I'm a stupid little brat who has nothing.]

[Ever since I was little, I embraced]

[a big dream to travel to faraway places.]

[You'll definitely succeed. Good luck!]

[Alright, let's meet here tomorrow.]

[I'll see you here.]

[You're here.]

[This is a hawthorn.]

[When covered in syrup, it's delicious.]

[Isn't it delicious?]

[Have another bite.]

[I've had enough.]

[Have a seat.]

[I'll fan you.]

[No need.]

[Things like fanning and chasing away mosquitoes]

[are lowly tasks that I should be doing from now on]

[Next time, I will always pamper you]

[and spoil you.]

[I've had enough.]

[Let me feed you.]

[It's tasty.]

[Slow down a little.]

[I made this.]

[Have a taste.]

[I made it.]

[Did you really make it?]

[It smells like cherry blossoms.]

[How did you know?]

[Do you grow cherry blossom trees at home?]

[I...]

[I won't ask if you don't want to tell me.]

[What is your name?]

[Where are you from?]

[How many siblings do you have?]

[I don't know any of these things.]

[However, meeting you]

[is already a blessing from the God of the Sea.]

[Here.]

[I want to ask you something.]

[I...]

[I wanted to ask you]

[what is your dream?]

[I want to help you.]

[You can't help me.]

[My dream]

[is to be the king of Green Leaf Island.]

[Green Leaf Island holds a strength competition once every thirty years.]

[The winner will become the king.]

[I've already started preparing ever since I was young.]

[I've been preparing for many years.]

♫ My heart noisily thumps ♫

♫ The redness in my cheeks cannot fade ♫

♫ My gaze chaotically shifts around ♫

♫ Yet it is still noticed ♫

♫ Perhaps I should say hello ♫

♫ Or smile at you ♫

♫ Quietly get closer to you ♫

♫ Afraid that the day disturbs you ♫

♫ Drink your favorite beverage ♫

♫ Secretly wear the same jacket as you ♫

♫ You have not come to me for a chat ♫

♫ Your phone is surely out of service ♫

♫ I rewrite and delete the greetings ♫

♫ How do I say I miss you ♫

♫ I roll around, unable to sleep ♫

♫ Keep thinking of our next meeting ♫

♫ This feels like love is fermenting ♫

♫ It is kind of mysterious ♫

♫ The uncertain feelings want to flee ♫

♫ Sweet worries ♫

♫ Are you just like me ♫

♫ With a hurrying heartbeat ♫

♫ These uncertain feelings really want to ♫

♫ Embrace you ♫

[Actually, I'm not that important.]

[Both of us]

[can only be friends.]

[No, but why?]

[Because my family members are against it.]

[Only my family members can make decisions on my behalf.]

[Moreover, there are a lot of people back home who are very opinionated.]

[I must follow their plans.]

[Hence, the both of us]

[can only be friends.]

[That young lady]

[has really not returned to the inn for many days.]

[Even if you stay here,]

[it's useless.]

[She didn't even bring anything with her when she left.]

[She has disappeared without a trace.]

[My King.]

[The king from the defeated kingdom and his older sister have arrived.]

[They're here to sign the contract.]

[This woman is...]

[She's the older sister of King Wu Tong of Fresh Flower Island.]

[Are you sure?]

[Yes, I'm sure.]

[I saw her in Fresh Flower Island several days ago.]

[Is she the princess?]

It looks like he doesn't completely hate me.

I need to think of a way

to overcome this challenge.

Things become more beautiful at a distance.

That's right.

Things become more beautiful at a distance.

Hold my hand.

If the slightest harm befalls you in Green Leaf Island,

I will cut off your water supply.

What nonsense are you saying?

What does our water supply have to do with me getting hurt?

Moreover,

people always take advantage of those who are kind and patient.

Yes, you've understood this principle long ago.

That's why it was like second nature to you

when you did this to me last time.

Next, you should properly love yourself

because you are the only person capable of doing that.

Will you let me go?

Everything that happened in the past was my fault.

I'm asking you to forgive me.

You'll definitely meet a better queen in the future.

She will neither provoke you,

nor steal your water source.

More importantly, she will not leave without saying goodbye.

She will love and cherish you,

and give birth to many healthy sons for you.

Are you saying that even though you married me,

you will not love and cherish me?

Are you saying that you will not give birth to sons for me?

despite us being officially married as husband and wife?

The distance between us

is further and deeper than

the distance between

two islands.

The oars are broken.

Are you thinking of returning to that island

to be even further away?

That island is your hometown.

Don't even imagine that you can return home.

None of the ships will sail for you.

Remember this.

Since you won't let me leave this place,

will you please promise me one thing?

I refuse.

No, you must make this promise to me.

I want to leave this place.

There is an empty house next to this place.

I want to move and live there.

Then this place will remain for your next queen.

When I arrived, I was fickle and wild like the willow and red apricot seeds I brought.

Since you find me so annoying,

I will go there and be quiet.

Let me think.

If you don't want me to move out,

then prove that you still love me.

Do you still love me?

Well, do you?

I've seen this in Laos.

But I've never seen one that's so powerful.

This was a present from a Westerner.

They wanted to trade it for some gold.

They exchanged three gold bars for this rifle.

Rumor has it that

they have a hundred rifles.

The national treasury is nearly empty now.

We need an abundant harvest, fish, and business.

I was just planning to give each village more boats this month.

I want the fishing industry to prosper.

We need ten of these things.

Yes, your word is my command.

These rifles,

once you have imported them,

go and see if there are any craftsmen on the island.

Guns are extremely important

because they are used to protect the country.

Moreover, since you are in charge of Sixteen Island on the outside,

you need to ensure that the fishing industry thrives and is prioritized.

Rely on the hills if they are nearby; rely on fish if you are near the sea.

When I visited several villages a few days ago,

I noticed that some of them are extremely good at breeding fish.

If you only eat the fish without breeding them,

your resources will be used up.

I will invite them here tomorrow

to share their experience.

Yes.

It's a rare to get an opportunity to return to the island and relax.

You should attend the Canal Administration Department's banquet tonight.

Alright.

The Canal Administration Department was recently established.

It's mainly responsible for the island's water drainage matters.

Next time, polluted and dirty water cannot be directly poured into the sea.

My King, you're wise.

My King, you've returned so early today.

The Queen is currently teaching the private classes that she set up.

[The first lesson]

Alright, students.

Let's start today's first lesson:

Green Leaves and Flowers

I'm here to broaden your horizons.

You don't have to thank me.

Broaden my horizons? I think you mean "break fresh ground".

This is great. You could use it to replace pearl powder.

Wipe it off! Wipe it off for me!

Are you going to bite me like a panicked rabbit?

I spent two hours putting on my makeup.

What are you doing?

I wiped it off for you.

No, I want you to wipe it off with your clothes.

Do you really think that you can outsmart me?

Is it a big deal if you're smarter than me?

What do you think?

There's a mosquito.

Am I not allowed to kill mosquitoes now?

There's another mosquito.

Haven't I told you?

Didn't you say that you wanted to broaden my horizons?

You, you...

You may be the king, but I'm still your queen.

Let me go!

Good evening, sir.

General Hei Shi must have arrived.

General Hei Shi.

Welcome, welcome.

Please.

Go ahead.

General Hei Shi, you must have had a difficult journey.

It wasn't difficult.

Ever since you returned from Outer Island,

I'm sure you must be used to drinking

Western beverages like this.

This wine is like a beautiful woman.

You'll get used to drinking it as long as it tastes good.

General Hei Shi, you're so funny.

Let's drink happily.

My King.

My Queen.

The king has arrived.

My King.

My King, welcome.

My Queen.

Welcome, welcome.

Please have a seat.

Ah Ying.

Come, come. Please have a seat, everyone.

Have a seat.

General Hei Shi, this is the queen.

During the marriage ceremony,

you were involved with external matters

so you were unable to rush back and attend the ceremony.

My Queen, this is General Hei Shi.

The war between our nations due to the water conflict,

was won by General Hei Shi and the army he led.

General, when did you return to Outer Island?

General.

General.

This is my first time meeting the queen

so let's raise our glasses to her.

The Queen cannot drink with any other man besides her king.

My King, I would like to ask for your permission.

I would like to refer to the previous records

and explore all seventeen islands again.

I just wanted to tell you

that you need a network to explore

and you definitely cannot make any careless mistakes.

When we were previously at Three Island and Four Island,

there was a heavy thunderstorm

that caused waterlogging and destroyed the people's livelihood.

These issues definitely cannot happen again when we work.

Alright, alright.

Moreover,

water drainage is extremely important to our island nation.

You must pay attention to this,

my humble subordinate.

I hope that we can do our work well this time

since we are an island nation

that mainly relies on the sea.

General,

things have changed.

General, I am the queen.

I'm the king's official queen.

Yes,

my Queen.

Which man wouldn't be attracted to your face?

It's not surprising at all that you became queen.

Are you drunk? I don't understand what you're trying to say.

Did you have too much to drink?

What are you two doing?

I was telling the general

that I'm thankful for his devotion and loyalty in serving you.

What did you do to the queen?

He was telling me that

I should take better care of you in your daily life.

Why are you speaking on his behalf?

Why isn't he speaking?

When someone in a higher position is speaking,

those in lower positions will not get a chance to speak.

Alright then, tell me why

you pushed his hand away just now.

My King, you're mistaken.

The general never held my hand earlier.

How could I have shrugged off his hand?

That's right, my King.

I was simply chatting with the queen for a while.

Excuse me, I must leave.

Stop.

I want to ask you.

Do you know the queen's real name?

General, are you talking about the queen from the marriage alliance?

Her real name is Ying.

How could you drag me home before the banquet ended?

I'm still hungry.

You look like you're drenched in lemonade from head to toe.

I've had enough.

Do you think I'm blind?

I should have sailed away on a boat,

or a ship,

or even a fleet of ships.

Nomads are given a nickname.

They're called leaders of the shipyard, right?

I'm not afraid of a tiger with two wings,

but I'm afraid of people with two hearts.

You, however, are the only woman I know with seven or eight hearts.

You were even fooling around with my general.

You had a drink with him as well.

Ask yourself, have you had a drink with me?

Have you ever been so generous to me,

or even looked at me with such a gentle gaze?

I had clearly seen you shrugging off his hand.

Yet you insisted on making a thousand excuses for him.

Are you boldly showing off

that you are a wild and unfaithful woman?

Have you finished scolding me?

I'm asking you, are you done?

Get out.

I'm telling you to get out.

Are you telling me to get out?

Are you planning to

cast flirtatious glances at him tonight?

Perhaps you want to carry on your secret affair?

Are you going to do secret things and hurt others in the dark?

I won't let you have your way.

You're my queen from a marriage alliance.

We're officially married.

Did you think that I would give up my queen?

I would never do that.

No matter what I do,

I can't win his heart back.

I had never decided to become the queen so soon.

Nobody had taught me how to become a queen so quickly.

Mother,

could you tell me why?

The dancers can be found everywhere.

I've searched several islands but still failed to find Ah Ying.

Sir, give me a bottle of alcohol.

How could she be the princess of Fresh Flower Island?

Back then, when I led the army and defeated Fresh Flower Island

and commanded them to form a marriage alliance,

I never saw their princess.

Ah Ying.

Ah Ying.

I thought that you had forgotten me.

Why are you here alone?

Are you drinking because you're bored?

When did you come to Green Leaf Island?

I wanted to ask you.

What are you doing here?

I came here to look for a man.

I'm looking for a man who is a hundred times stronger than you.

You're different

from earlier.

Earlier? What do you mean by that?

Did you see me earlier?

During the Canal Administration Department's banquet earlier,

wasn't that you?

Canal Administration Department's banquet?

The Canal Administration Department that was recently established by Green Leaf Island?

I wouldn't attend it

unless they paid me to come.

I want to drink too.

Do you have any money?

I'm asking you a question.

Do you have any money?

Is this all you have?

You're poor.

If you don't have any money, I'll go and have a drink with someone else.

But that person earlier

looked exactly like you.

What's wrong?

Did you make a mistake?

Tell me.

Did you bully someone else?

Thank goodness

she helped me explain.

Otherwise, this would be a serious misunderstanding.

Come, let's continue drinking.

Teacher,

you haven't finished drawing the flower.

There are no leaves.

Teacher, a flower without green leaves is incomplete.

It will be very lonely.

A fresh flower doesn't necessarily need green leaves.

Both of them breathe the same air and grow in the same soil.

Sometimes, the green leaves will steal the flower's nutrients.

My Queen.

The King is asking you to visit him.

Come.

Come on.

Do you like it?

I need to go and teach.

You're teaching the children about tree leaves that steal sunlight from fresh flowers.

Yes.

If the green leaves don't act as a foil to the fresh flowers,

we should definitely get rid of them.

Then I'm afraid that you're wasting your energy

because there is no flower in this world

that doesn't grow leaves.

Since you are teaching every day,

and that takes up two hours of your time daily,

you should spend the rest of your time sitting here

and accompanying me.

That's an order.

The highest order.

Give me your shoulders.

I want to rest for a while.

Sit straight.

You're not allowed to relax your shoulders.

Frankly, I don't understand.

If you hate me so much,

why do you still want to be with me?

Any bird that flies with a phoenix must be a beautiful bird.

I want to nurture you into becoming

a beautiful bird that noisily chirps.

There are many beautiful birds,

you can go and find another one.

You're overthinking.

Their beauty has nothing to do with you.

You're just a bird.

You're a really naughty bird.

My King.

we have successfully investigated the matter

but the situation is not that good.

The princess is currently living alone next to the Sleep King's residence.

Nobody is there right now.

Get in the car.

Yes.

Stop.

My King.

I've pushed open the door.

She's a princess of a nation.

But just because she got married,

she has actually placed the wash basin inside her own home.

My King.

Princess Ying and her husband

have returned to the king's official residence together.

It's getting late.

Alright.

Let's return to the inn for now.

We can't let the people here

discover that I am a king.

Yes.

The coast is clear.

Let's go.

My King,

I am here to report

that I saw a man entering the queen's private residence.

What did you say?

Are you sure?

Yes, I saw it clearly.

There was a young attractive man

who closed the door after that.

Open the door.

Open the door.

Why are you holding a gun?

Where is he?

Where is he?

What are you doing?

Where is he?

I'm asking you, where is he?

What are you looking for?

What exactly are you looking for?

What are you looking for?

What is this?

I have just entered but yet to go upstairs.

These are Western cigarettes.

It's not something that could be bought by just anyone.

I will investigate the entire Seventeen Island

and everyone from Fresh Flower Island

to find out who smokes these cigarettes!

If you're going to be so suspicious,

then you shouldn't have married me.

Your kingdom asked for a marriage alliance after being defeated.

Your defeated kingdom begged me to marry you.

I think that I finally understand now.

I'm certain that you were too wild and unfaithful.

That's why the men in your kingdom would never marry you.

You have a ruthless heart

so you deserve to be slapped.

As the princess of a kingdom,

this is the most suitable present that I can give you.

Let me go!

I hate it.

I hate it.

I hate how my weak tears

are trickling down again.

However,

there's no need for you to rejoice in my sorrows.

Don't assume that I'm weak and feeble.

I've been strong ever since I was inside my mother's womb.

No matter how badly you humiliate me,

I will just put it behind me.

Humiliate you?

Your disgusting behavior with that man on Sixteen Island

is something that I witnessed with my own eyes.

You idiot!

Even if I've sinnned, I don't deserve to be humiliated this way.

How could a princess like me tolerate such slander from a lowborn like you?

Lowborn?

Lowborn?

That's right.

You look down on me because I am a lowborn.

You are an esteemed princess of a kingdom,

while I'm a poor little brat.

You whispered sweet nothings to me,

but you were actually just playing with me like a toy.

You wanted to tame a wild stallion.

Isn't that right?

Let me go!
