EPISODE 2

Lu ZhanYuan! Your own mechanisms

surprisingly captured you!

- How's my family? - Don't worry.

Your family is fine, but if this witch doesn't die,

their safety is at risk.

- They're innocent. - Innocent?

Ask the witch beside you

how many innocents she harmed.

Today I'll destroy you!

A few lives won't matter.

Lu dear, kill them or they won't let you off.

Lu dear, I killed no-one; what will you do?

Brothers.

Now Li Mochou is in my home,

she won't harm anyone.

Hope we won't bother each other again.

You can all leave.

Mochou...!

He tried to kill you with poison.

We let you off; you still want death?

How can you take us all on? If we die, we die.

While we live to uphold justice, we'll wipe out you and the Lu's!

You want death?

Don't! Mochou!

Lu dear, didn't you hear him?

Freeing them means future danger.

You hypocrites, if you trouble me and the Lu family,

I'll come after you.

Let's go.

Didn't you promise not to kill?

Lu dear, you want your family killed?

My village is filled with mechanisms.

I'll improve them to protect us.

Those work on useless people.

They're useless against an expert.

Lu dear, I barely escaped.

You must improve your gongfu.

Lu dear, don't despair.

Being alive together has priority.

I'll search for your family; rest.

I want to be kind like Buddha, but you turn me into a devil.

How ironic.

Come.

We needn't burden ourselves.

Pulling a string waters all the plants.

Great!

Lu dear.

Mochou, see my new creation.

Lu dear.

I'm just playing with it.

Don't people want us dead?

What if I'm not with you; what will you do?

Why so many "what if's"?

Okay.

I'll do as you say.

('Lu Family Blade' skill)

You don't practise.

You haven't improved.

Okay.

Don't I have you? Nothing will happen.

When we're married, I can keep practising.

You're kind, and don't know evil; if they bully you, what will you do?

No. Practise swordplay or I'll ignore you.

Pick up the sword quickly.

Pick it up now.

Feelings can't survive all hardships.

Women want to change men to be their ideal men

but not every man can be changed.

When Mochou gave up everything for her man,

she didn't know their hearts were growing distant.

Help me.

You are awake.

Do you still hurt?

You saved me?

Yes, I was delivering medicine.

I saw you and gave you medicine.

Luckily you're fine.

It's here.

You're secretly treating a patient.

No, I'm not.

- Dare argue? Men, hit them! - Move aside!

Let's go.

Enough, I can't run any more...

Who are those thugs?

- Madam Cheng's men. - Who's she?

I'm He YuanJun, her servant.

Doctor Cheng is kind to me; she hates that and sends bullies.

I'm used to it.

How can you live like that?

You're here; don't go back.

Live with me.

No. Madam Cheng saved my late grandpa.

I can't forsake our saviour. Thanks for helping.

- So...? - I'm going back.

This...

Don't go. Don't let her bully you.

What if I teach you kungfu?

Well...

Can't I repay you?

- Okay, Uncle. - Uncle?

- I'm that old? - Big Brother?

Forget it; either is fine.

Watch carefully.

(WU SANTONG - Solitary Yang Finger)

Impressive.

Miss Ah Yuan, I'm no 'uncle'; I want to elope with you.

SanTong.

SanTong.

Why don't you knock?

We're married; why knock?

- What is it? - SanTong.

We haven't made love in ages;

our parents nag about a child.

Why don't we...?

What's wrong?

I'm sweaty; I'll bathe.

You...SanTong!

Why's he behaving oddly lately?

Why'd you attack me?

You learned our wugong.

You're either smart or scheming.

You're Uncle's...

- Wife! - So you're Madam!

You're glib.

How'd a pretty girl seduce my husband and ruin my family?!

Madam, you can't say that; I didn't.

So why's he fixated on you?

I don't know; he's a Senior.

There's a big age gap; how'd I like him?

So he has a one-sided love?

Young miss, sorry. Did I hurt you?

Madam, if you're worried, I won't see him again.

Easy to say. When he's crazy, nothing stops him.

He YuanJun! She's there; catch her!

- SanTong. - Let's go.

- Why'd you look for Ah Yuan? - I...

We can't get on; you butt into everything. I'll kick you out.

It's not what you think.

You like her; I wanted to talk.

We can talk about your wedding.

- Wedding? - Wedding?

It's good.

Listen. The situation is different to what I thought.

Ah Yuan, don't leave. Why not settle this?

Ah Yuan, move in with us.

SanNiang, you really think so?

- I misjudged you. - No, I can't!

Why not? You two have an affinity.

You gained past life merit; listen to me.

Acknowledge your Godfather.

Godfather?! I don't want that.

I want a wife. I won't be a Godfather!

- Godfather. - Wait.

I want a wife.

- Uncle... - No more talk.

SanNiang, I'll marry her tonight.

I won't mistreat you.

- We'll be married. - No, Uncle!

Are you crazy? It's better to live badly than die.

Aunt, I'm unlucky.

I bring people trouble; it's better I die.

You don't want my husband?

He's just my saviour.

Come. Drink more.

Why's the bride running away?

The bride's fleeing!

Ah Yuan! Where are you going?

Ah Yuan, this is a joyous time; why'd you run out?

Why's it you? Where's Ah Yuan?

You ganged up to trick me.

Don't go after her.

You can't catch up.

You!

Not afraid of death?

Your heart's not here.

What's scary about death?

I said this wedding won't affect our relationship.

It won't affect us?

In your heart, is there still a place for me?!

When you married me, you said you won't make me sad.

You said you won't let me cry.

Now my tears can't stop.

Just kill me.

Just kill me!

I'll leave with our child.

I can't see who you are now!

Child?

You're pregnant?

SanTong. Can I stay with you?

- I want Ah Yuan! - She doesn't want you.

I don't care.

I want Ah Yuan. I want Ah Yuan!

I want to be with her!

Don't be like this.

Ah Yuan!

He's gone mad.

Only God can save him.

'Chopping with sword' strike!

Great style. Why didn't you stab him?

If you didn't kill him, he'd kill you.

Who is he?

Why'd he want to kill me?

I don't know who he is.

He had enough wugong to spar with you.

Spar with me?

How could you do this?

You disregarded a human life.

I did this for your own good.

You need sword experience.

Without a real duel,

how will you know the risks?

He's an innocent man.

That was someone's life, you know?!

Jianghu lives are worthless.

Will they care about your life?

They won't.

Only the strongest survive.

Many people dislike us.

Now we are together,

beginning our lovely future,

everything could end.

- Do you know... - Don't say anymore!

I don't like this happening.

My happiness can't make others suffer.

Don't kill innocents anymore.

Or else I...

Or else what?

Or else how can I see your face?

- Lu dear! - Don't follow; leave me alone.

I did this for your sake.

You fool, you misunderstood.

Move aside!

What are you doing?

Be careful of my goods.

Hey...

Are you okay? Hey.

Who are you? Scram!

Hey!

Hey, hey, hey!

What's wrong with you?

You were ungrateful for help

and dirtied my herbs. Pay me.

So irritating.

Stop there!

Kill me if you want.

I'm unhappy anyway.

Go on!

What's wrong with you?

Why make others unhappy like you?

The whole world will be unhappy.

Miss.

How can I be happy?

For example, I helped you;

so thank me- I'll be happy.

For example, you dirtied my herbs.

Help me pick more herbs.

That's happy.

But that's your happiness.

I haven't finished talking.

You seem to be miserable.

If you thank me, my mood will improve; I'll smile at you.

Won't you be happy?

And picking herbs causes you no loss.

Why fret? Isn't that happy?

That's right.

Give it to me.

Why are you taking my herbs?

Won't we be happy picking herbs?

Let's go.

Be careful.

Okay.

Is this it?

Yes. You're amazing.

I wanted to pluck it but couldn't.

A man can pluck it so easily.

You sure praise people.

If it makes you happy, why not?

Do you have a medicine shop?

No. I passed Jiaxing and saw poor people who can't afford treatment.

I want to give them the herbs.

Your heart isn't bad.

No big deal; it's a happy event.

When you help them, they're nice to you,

and the children sing for you.

Are you always happy?

Of course I have problems

but whether I'm happy or unhappy,

the problem can be solved.

Easier said than done.

Of course it's easy; watch me.

Hey!

Hurry! Raise your hands.

- No. - Quickly.

Hurry up!

Hurry up.

Louder!

Don't frown; you'll get wrinkles.

Okay, I finished picking herbs; I'm going.

Let me take you home. Wait for me.

I got the herbs; I should go. Thank you.

Let me help.

No need, you're tired; rest.

Who says I'm tired?

I don't need a rest.

Being with a happy person is happy.

Right?

You're not a bad person...

good looks, good gongfu, happy helping others.

I wonder which lucky girl will be with you.

What's wrong?

I may never be happy again.

Why?

There are so many "why's".

I must be responsible for my actions.

- Miss. - I'm He YuanJun.

Miss He, I'm a bit tired.

I can't take you home.

Why are you suddenly unhappy?

Did I say anything wrong?

How could you have? I'm at fault.

God's punishing me; I can't drag you into it.

I'm leaving.

Hey! You didn't say your name.

Lu ZhanYuan.

"Zhan", flying high.

"Yuan", Founding Fathers.

Lu ZhanYuan?

What's the story behind his frown?

Will I see him again?

He YuanJun.

You met by coincidence.

Don't think too much.

Why are you crying?

I won't cry, Queen. I have no grudges with you.

- Please let me go. - Queen? Interesting.

I don't want your money or life.

- I want advice. - Ask.

I heard you have a devoted husband.

Despite years of marriage, he doesn't go out on business or look at other women.

That's it? It's true.

My husband treats me so well.

What's the secret?

Secret?

Which method made your husband dote on you?

Which method?

Think about it.

Let me think.

It's embroidery.

Embroidery?

Yes. I embroidered all this.

My Silver Needles are more useful.

You won't learn?

I didn't say that. I need to learn this.

I'm actually quite virtuous.

Lu Lang, it's time to eat.

Lu dear. Still angry?

Don't be angry. You're a good man who won't kill innocents.

But today was for your own good.

If you don't like me doing that,

I probably won't kill again.

- Okay? - Okay.

Let's eat.

Let's go.

You fought with someone?

Just eat.

His gongfu isn't bad. Where is he?

I'll go see him.

- Just eat. - Lu dear.

What will you do to that person?

His wugong is skilled.

He could be a foe; best to get rid of him.

Can you not discuss killing?

But that person...

I'm tired; I'm going to sleep.

Lu dear.

I don't mean that. I...

I want to sleep. Leave.

Miss He, why are you here?

Lu dear. Her gongfu isn't bad

so I caught her to spar with you.

Don't worry, I won't kill her.

I have an important task; I won't stay.

Train properly. Don't escape

or I won't keep you alive.

Miss.

Quickly, take this. Go or you can't escape.

What about you?

I'm sparing your life.

Why care about me? Go.

No. Let's go together.

I don't know what you suffered

but now I know not obeying her is torturous.

She's too powerful; she'll chase us to the end.

We won't get far.

Live day by day.

Run ten days, be happy even if we can't escape.

There's still hope.

If you lack guts, kill me.

I don't fear death. I fear seeing you suffer alone.

We met by chance.

I've no ties with you.

Then what am I doing with you?

I....

I've an idea.

Lu dear.

I have a surprise.

I embroidered this. Nice? Here.

Lu dear, what's wrong?

I....

Don't move.

You better not move.

I set traps.

You better let me go.

What do you want?

Let us leave on a fast horse.

Once we're safe, I'll let him go.

Think carefully.

Wherever you run, I'll never let you off.

Back off. Do what I say

or else I...

Don't kill him.

Okay, I agree.

You...

I'm fine. We escaped.

Yes, live day by day.

Don't frown again.

What next?

In this big world...

I'll go to Great Wall or Jiangnan; you go to the desert or plains.

Li Mochou shouldn't find us.

Can't we be together?

Live and die together.

We only met twice.

Some people meet and feel they always knew each other.

You're the first person to understand me

and to make me happy.

What's the point of escaping if I can't hold you?

You were pitying me; this is just my own heart.

I have no regrets.

I'll get more fire wood.

ZhanYuan.

I don't pity you; it's not just your heart.

I don't know why when I first met you,

I suddenly felt concerned.

I wondered if we'd meet again,

wondered who'd ease your worries.

What you just said to me made me so happy.

I'm just afraid in these circumstances.

I fear you'll suffer with me.

I will forever be with you.

I want to marry you. Do you feel the same?

I will devote my life to you

even if you might leave me.

I will never betray you.

Lu dear, are you okay?

- I... - Li Mochou, you're formidable.

We ran so far.

I put phosphorus on the horse's hooves;

if it hadn't rained, you'd be dead!

I'll kill her!

I failed in nothing.

You dare trick me.

I'll let you die now!

Lu dear.

You...

I love He YuanJun. If you kill her, kill me too.

You lost your mind? Did she bewitch you?

It's okay; I don't blame you.

Come home; I'll cure you.

- Let's go... - Stay back!

Li Mochou, who do you think you are?

What right have you to control me

and force me to do unhappy things?

Let me tell you.

I love He YuanJun.

I'll live and die with her.

No. No!

I will kill her!

(Wu SanTong - 'Solitary Yang Finger')

Go!

Quickly!

Whoever that woman is to you,

we're fighting over them.

They're fleeing together. Isn't that funny?

Run now!

- Ah Yuan, are you okay? - Who are you?

Who's that man?

He's my husband.

I'll kill him!

Uncle, stop!

Stop!

If you kill Lu, I'll kill her.

You!

Let her see how it feels.

YuanJun, are you afraid?

You're here; I'm not afraid.

Okay. Bring it on!
