Your Sensibility My Destiny

Episode 9

If you had ever been trapped in the dark

and got to see sunlight after that,

would you still want to return to the dark?

I don't know.

I just know that without you,

the light no longer carries any meaning.

Oh no, I forgot that my skills have been greatly reduced!

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Miss Lin.

Is he really okay?

Don't worry, Miss Lin.

His injury is not serious.

He just needs to rest a few days and he'll be fine.

Thank goodness it wasn't you who got hurt.

You're back.

How nice.

I came back just to get some things clear.

You're hurt?

When did I get hurt?

I didn't feel any pain at all.

Your senses...

I... I no longer have any senses.

I only felt something

when I held your hand just now.

Qiu Wan came to visit me a few days ago.

She said you lost your sense of taste and temperature.

I had a rough idea of what happened.

When you were in a fight just now,

your powers confirmed my inference.

Now that you have your senses,

you have lost your powers.

Why?

There must be a reason behind this.

Now that you've lost your senses,

you must stay in the manor.

Understood?

You've already imparted your ultimate skills to me.

What's there to fear?

I do fear. I fear losing you.

♫ Memory is slowly falling apart ♫

♫ I can barely remember the day we met ♫

You should recuperate yourself first.

I'm here this time

♫ That split second we touched ♫

to get my senses back.

Before you return them to me,

♫ The dizziness we felt shouldn't merely be an illusion ♫

I won't leave.

What if I never?

Would you agree to stay here?

♫ I thought it's fated love ♫

You should rest first.

♫ I thought lies could come true ♫

I'll wait for you at the guest room.

♫ But the incompleteness of this destiny can't be altered ♫

Sir, we've checked.

The assassin is very cunning.

No traces were left for now.

If the assassin was working for Ji Ding Yue,

he must be trying to find the secrets here.

Stay alert for the next few days.

Yes, sir.

The person who subdued you in a few moves was not Ji Ding Lan,

but Lin Chi?

I saw it with my own eyes.

Lin Chi has exceptional internal prowess,

while Ji Ding Lan's powers have greatly reduced.

While he was saving Lin Chi,

I struck him down easily.

This is getting more and more interesting.

Your Highness, I have failed in my task.

You may punish me.

Forget it.

Since Lin Chi is back,

we'll just stick to the original plan.

Yes, Your Highness.

Your Highness, are you looking for me?

Have a seat.

Leng Feng managed to injure Ji Ding Lan easily

while it was Lin Chi who defeated her.

What kind of trick is Ji Ding Lan trying to play?

Could this be the empress's idea?

From what I've observed,

Lin Chi has never been a stronger fighter than Leng Feng.

Ji Ding Lan has always been cold and distant,

yet he's in a passionate relationship with Lin Chi now.

He even imparted his skills to her.

Looks like Lin Chi

is more than just the empress's pawn.

You are absolutely right, Your Highness.

Yan'er.

Do you remember that I told you

that you and Lin Chi were acquainted as children?

I remember, but I do not know.

Ji Ding Lan is a careful man.

It's not easy to find evidence that incriminates him.

But Lin Chi is a chance for us to break through.

As long as we gain her trust,

our goal would be half-completed.

You mean, you want me to befriend Lin Chi?

The opportunity to break this deadlock

is probably right in front of us.

Miss Lin, eat something.

What kind of life did Mo Qing Chen have?

He couldn't taste anything even when eating such delicacies.

At least fighters like us who wander around

get to enjoy everything.

Miss Lin, why don't we eat with Young Master?

No need.

He doesn't need me now.

He needs you.

If he doesn't get to hold your hand when he eats,

even if he could taste food, he wouldn't have the appetite.

Miss Lin, just go.

Stop persuading me.

I left in a huff that day because of what his mother said.

Actually, I couldn't understand his pain back then.

It's like I know now

how it feels to lose my sense of taste.

Thank goodness you survived, my brother.

You must be more careful in the future.

You like this tea, my brother?

Why do you say so?

I have never seen you look so delighted

when drinking tea.

That day, I didn't stop Miss Lin from returning to Wu Mo Manor.

I wasn't spared from Miss Qiu Wan's reprimanding.

You seem to listen to her.

How could I listen to her?

I am merely trying to experience her grievances.

I know that you will not hurt Miss Lin,

and that Miss Lin cannot let you go.

How could I stop her?

But it wasn't wrong of Miss Qiu Wan

to worry about her junior.

So, despite your internal struggle,

you still try to experience someone's pain?

All dharmas are non-self. Everything that lives makes who I am.

I will just try my best to empathise.

Despite one's own struggle,

you can still try to experience someone else's struggle.

When did you start to take an interest in needlework?

My hands feel as if they're wrapped in a bag.

I can't feel anything.

Why is there blood?

It'll get better.

You said you'd help me perceive the world.

You can't stay by my side all the time.

I can.

Let's switch back.

I'll give your senses back

and make everything go back to how they were.

How they were...

I checked.

The weather was normal that day.

The biggest possibility

is that we ate something bad.

There has never been any problem with the manor's food.

What if someone brought it in?

So, you think that by finding the food that looks out of ordinary,

you can find a way to switch back?

My father told me

the story of Shen Nong, who tasted hundreds of herbs.

Who knows, we might find the secret

behind our exchange in normal food.

Ridiculous.

How would you know if you don't try?

Feel anything?

You're enjoying it.

Let me try some too.

No need.

Just monitor.

I'm worried.

It's better if you taste it like this.

What... What is this?

Whose is this?

Mine.

Since I was little, my mother has been taking me to see doctors for medications.

Some prescriptions do work like a miracle.

Otherwise, I'd have even lost

my sense of sight and hearing.

This bottle looks familiar.

Since it's that effective, let me try.

Medicine is not to be taken for fun.

There seems to be nothing wrong

with the food in the kitchen.

Let's go back to the room

and re-enact the situation of that day.

Who knows, we might get lucky

and find the secret behind our switch, let's go.

How is Chi?

I didn't see her.

But my brother said that she is fine.

Where are you going?

To find you.

Hadn't you come back,

I'd have been on my way to save Chi.

You misunderstood my brother.

He does love Miss Lin.

When Miss Lin returned to Wu Mo Manor that day,

she was followed by a crazy attacker.

It was my brother who risked his life to save her.

He even got injured.

That sounds more like it.

So, is Chi fine?

She's fine.

I always thought that my brother never worried about anything.

But now, he's risking everything just for Miss Lin.

I'm surprised and impressed.

If anyone ever risked his life to save me,

I would...

You would what?

No... Nothing.

That person probably hasn't even been born yet.

Since Chi is fine, I'm relieved.

If you ever get into danger,

I will risk my life to save you.

Your Highness!

It's me, Gu Yuan.

Mr Gu, how have you been?

Are you still busy

with your school building project recently?

I didn't expect you'd still remember this.

However, I haven't managed to gather enough funds.

Come, let's talk inside.

Sure, let's go.

Miss Qiu, do we have any surplus funds?

There are no surplus funds.

Account Ledger

It's fine.

Your determination to build a school

is an admirable effort.

I can request an allowance advance from the palace

so I can do my part to help.

Thank you, Your Highness!

Your part to help?

Help, my foot.

May I know where your school is, Mr Gu?

I can send the funds there.

The school has not been fully constructed.

The site is a mess.

I'd rather spare you the trouble of going there.

Then, which bank holds the account

for your school funds?

We don't have a bank account yet.

Fellow conman.

You should have checked before you came to swindle.

What is your name, miss?

Another fellow con artist.

I didn't expect to meet a fellow con artist here.

Sorry for intruding.

I take my leave.

Brother Gu, you're leaving already?

I've suddenly remembered

that I need to collect some money from Mr Li today.

I need to go.

I'll see you when I see you!

Why did he run off in a panic

after your brief conversation?

What were you talking just now?

Why couldn't I understand?

It's a secret code.

This guy, Gu Yuan,

has already borrowed money several times,

and he's never returned any of it.

Your Highness, don't you think he's a swindler?

Miss Qiu, don't suspect people for no reason.

What Brother Gu is doing is a noble cause.

I should help him.

Noble cause?

Your Highness Prince Jing.

Do you know that in Nan Lu,

building a school requires approval from the authorities?

Have you ever checked with the authorities?

I have not. Tomorrow morning...

No need.

Gu Yuan has used similar reasons to borrow money.

I've checked all his claims.

None of them were true.

He's just a swindler

who's trying to cheat you.

To think you're helping him count his money.

You were a swindler too, right?

You...

Is this what you think of me?

All this while, I've stayed at your residence

and did my best to manage your finances.

Now, your finances are finally improving.

In your eyes,

I'm actually the same as that guy?

That's not what I meant.

I think you've finally revealed your true thoughts.

If that's the case,

I have no need to stay here any longer.

Goodbye.

Miss Qiu!

I said something wrong.

Let go!

Let us part amicably.

From now on, we don't have to meet anymore.

Miss Qiu!

This room has been redecorated

in the manner of that day.

I don't even remember

that this room was so beautifully decorated that day.

Let's start, then.

That day...

I took something.

I took something,

and I got really angry.

Where did I put it?

Oh, right.

Then, I said I wanted to leave.

You pulled me.

I still can't feel anything.

That's right, the contract.

I was tearing the contract.

Nine: Wu Mo Manor must provide Lin Chi with any food she desires

Ten: Mo Qing Chen may not spend the night in Lin Chi's chamber

Didn't I tear up the contract that day?

Why are you still keeping it?

Had you really left that day,

this would have been the only souvenir you'd have left behind.

Agreement

Then, what if I hadn't come back here again?

Besides, what did you do during the horse ride?

I was worried that you couldn't sense the cold weather,

and you couldn't tell anyone

because no one else would have been able to understand you.

So, you were worried that I'd get cold.

That's why you looked for me?

What a blockhead.

Let's continue.

I tore the contract.

I...

What's wrong? Let me tear it.

Give it back.

You knew it clearly

that I went to look for you because I missed you.

That's more like it.

I heard from Ling Hua

that you talked back to your mother that day.

What were you thinking back then?

I said that I just want to keep you safe.

I don't want to marry anyone else.

I don't want you to get hurt.

It could only make my mother angry.

But what if

your mother just won't approve of us being together?

Then, I'll bring you out from Wu Mo Manor

and leave Nan Lu

to a place where no one knows us

and start anew.

That day, I thought about it.

I shouldn't have acted on impulse

and even blamed you.

I shouldn't have vented my anger on you.

I shouldn't have left in a whim.

I'm sorry.

So, you're not leaving anymore?

I'm sorry.

I still couldn't make you regain your senses.

Let's try again.

Chi.

Senior.

Have you been well for the past few days?

I have been fine.

Are you here today

to bring me news about my sister?

There was a letter from the south.

Our correspondent tried searching for clues, but to no avail.

This lead didn't work out.

It's okay.

It's not an easy task, after all.

Don't get disappointed yet.

Since all sorts of possibilities can be eliminated,

I'm sure the Supreme Court has previous records.

The Supreme Court?

Why would clues about my sister

be related to the Supreme Court?

The Supreme Court rules over criminal cases.

It's natural that they have some suspended cases.

Those would remain classified.

If your sister's adopted parents were involved,

her household register would be missing.

Then, how should we continue investigating?

Don't worry.

You forgot I'm the chief constable of the court.

Then, can I follow you?

No.

No unauthorized individuals can enter the Supreme Court.

You should just wait for my news.

Fine, then.

Trust me.

I heard that Du Ruo dropped by today.

If he visits you in the future,

please inform me first.

You weren't in the manor today.

He was just visiting me.

His visits are getting too frequent.

What did you say?

Nothing.

Thank you.

It's cold now. Don't catch a flu.

It's getting late now.

You should go back early and rest.

I'm getting sleepy too.

I'm going to sleep.

Why haven't you left yet?

I'm worried that you'd catch a cold at night.

Let me guard you here.

You want to keep staying here?

You're not planning to leave at all, are you?

I'm really worried that you cannot take care of yourself.

Starting from tomorrow, I'll teach you

how to adapt to a life devoid of senses.

How about it?

184.

185.

186.

187.

188.

189.

190.

191.

192.

19...

Focus.

I've finished counting the leaves on the right side of the tree.

How are you coming along?

I thought you wanted me to practise living a senseless life.

My eyes are getting strained from all this counting.

Why am I counting leaves here?

Do you know how to predict sensory stimuli

so you can look like a normal person?

Yeah, I'm curious too.

How did you pretend in the past?

First, you must remember

the touch and smell of normal things in life.

Your reactions cannot go against common sense.

Then, how do you observe temperature

and know how much clothes to wear?

There are many ways.

You need to find an object of reference

like the angle of sunlight streaming through the tree's crown

to observe the time.

Observe wind speed through the intensity of the leaves' rustling

and the change of seasons

through the leaves' shape and colour.

You could deduce so many things just by looking at this tree?

Then, why were you counting leaves?

The goal is not to count.

It's just to heighten my sensitivity.

What do you mean?

Usually, during palace meetings,

I can deduce senses by observing the things around me.

But sudden tests can throw me off guard.

Yeah.

Those people would go against the expected norm and test you.

How do you deal with them?

You must know

how to deduce everything through the reactions of people around you.

Even a barely unnoticeable detail

can expose all secrets.

If they can observe things within a five feet radius,

then you must observe things within a ten feet radius.

So, you trained yourself by counting leaves?

That's right.

No wonder you love counting.

You've been counting stuff like leaves and stars.

I thought you're trying to play a trick on me.

Not just those.

Birds, animals, flowers, insects, grass, trees, clouds and raindrops

are also the keys and opportunities for us to train.

For instance, I can memorize the Herb Almanac,

including the classification of herbs, grains, minerals and mediums

as well as the nature of each item.

You need to memorise them all, too.

I will test you.

I need to memorise them too?

I...

Buns!

Hot steamed buns!

You could devour that even without any dishes?

It's delicious.

I can't stay in Prince Jing's residence anymore.

Are you coming with me?

You're leaving Prince Jing's residence

for a nomadic life with no permanent shelter?

No.

Prince Jing may be broke,

but he's still got a stable life.

Fine.

You can stay here alone, then.

I'm off.

Miss Qiu, I implore you not to leave.

I'm just as good as a swindler now.

Your place doesn't suit me.

You're still angry?

I checked with the authorities.

Gu Yuan did lie to me.

It's you, Miss Qiu Wan,

who has been doing her best for my residence.

If you leave,

I'm going to get swindled again.

Does that have anything to do with me?

Of course it does.

Every living being in the residence

will probably cease to survive

without your care.

Would you bear to see the residence fall into destruction?

I hope that you will forgive me.

For the sake of Lin Chi,

Mr Zhuang

and the gods,

please don't leave.

Fine.

Out of respect for the gods,

I'll warn you this once.

If this happens again,

I'm not going to show respect for anyone!

Liquor

If she leaves Prince Jing's residence,

I won't be able to watch a good show like this anymore!

What is the smell of the herb Angelica biserrata, and and how is it different from Angelica sinensis?

Miss Lin.

As recorded in the Herb Almanac, what is the smell of the herb Angelica biserrata

and how is it different from Angelica sinensis?

While both are bitter, Angelica biserrata carries a tinge of sweetness,

and Angelica sinensis carries a tinge of warmth.

Angelica biserrata can treat headaches caused by wind-cold,

while Angelica sinensis replenishes the blood and eases constipation.

How should you detect your wounds in time when injured in a fight?

Now, if you get injured during a fight,

how should you detect your wounds?

Who cares about wounds during a fight?

That would look pathetic.

Just knock the opponent out and run.

The injuries don't matter.

Why didn't I come up with such idea?

It's a little awkward,

but it's a clever idea nonetheless.

You've passed.

Miss Lin, congratulations for answering all questions correctly.

Well done!

Why are you laughing?

Miss Lin, your mouth!

Mo Qing Chen, you trickster!

I answered all your questions.

You may have passed the official test,

but not the extra challenge.

Write ten copies of the entire Herb Almanac.

Before you complete, you may not leave.

Ten times?

How about less?

No.

Herb Almanac

Have you done copying?

This book is so thick.

Can't I copy a shorter version?

I mean,

this book should add a note at the end that says,

"No one may be punished by copying this book."

Otherwise, this is going to torture so many souls.

Then, how about you copy the Records of the Grand Historian?

That's so cruel of you.

I can't feel anything lately.

I can't even sleep soundly.

I just don't have the mood to do this.

You can't sleep well?

Then, don't sleep in the guest room.

You can...

Don't think I don't know what you're thinking.

There's no contract now.

Don't think of having me sleep in your room.

Then, we'll sign a new contract.

A new contract?

Agreement

"Mo Qing Chen and everyone else in Wu Mo Manor

must not harm Lin Chi."

"Lin Chi must not touch Mo Qing Chen's elbows, legs..."

Why is everything the other way around?

You can touch my body.

That's not what I meant.

I mean,

I should draft the contract.

I can't bear to take this loss.

Number one, Mo Qing Chen must always satisfy

One: Mo Qing Chen must always satisfy...

Lin Chi's needs to feel the world.

Number two, Mo Qing Chen must not

take advantage of Lin Chi's lack of senses and trick her into drinking ink.

Take advantage of Lin Chi's lack of senses

Number three, Mo Qing Chen must not make Lin Chi

copy the Herb Almanac and other books.

Number four, Mo Qing Chen must not harshly scold Lin Chi.

Must not harshly scold

Lin Chi

Mo Qing Chen

Mo Qing Chen, Lin Chi

Rest early.

Well...

Where did you keep the contract?

Why?

I've just remembered that I need to add another clause.

It's getting late. Let's continue this tomorrow.

To...

I'm off, then.

Wait.

Did you forget to write

that we need to sleep on the same bed?

Who wants to sleep on the same bed with you?

Then, I invite you to spend the night on the same bed with me.

That's what you said.

After all, it's written in the contract

that you must always help me sense the world.

That includes the time when I sleep, of course.

♫ How do I feel touched in the world when I am emotionless? ♫

Let me down.

Don't go to the guest room anymore.

♫ Don't talk about the interlacing of fate ♫

♫ I feel the fluctuation of emotions all of a sudden ♫

I've just remembered a legend.

♫ The years forgot about being rejected ♫

On a snowy day,

when the sky is cold and the ground frozen,

if a couple in love meets at the lake,

♫ Sad about parting, longing has turned into shame ♫

they will be able to stay together happily ever after.

That's because the snow

♫ Scattered fragments randomly put together ♫

would crystallise their shadows in the water.

As long as the water remains,

♫ The loneliness of the moon drifted onto earth ♫

so will they.

♫ Who is sitting at the window alone? ♫

Mo Qing Chen, did you hear me?

♫ How do I hold your hand bravely again? ♫

You're asleep.

I've never heard about a legend like that.

♫ If letting go of the light can cast me into a sub-conscious state ♫

It was Senior Qiu Wan who told me.

♫ I'll wait here on the spot ♫

I don't know if it's real or fake.

♫ In the lonely night, a tear can change a lifetime of glancing back ♫

♫ There's a storm in my heart but I'm acting calm ♫

♫ Stepping into the fleeting time, all is dyed red ♫

I hope it's real.

♫ Time fleets like before, like a dream ♫
