Oh My General

Ye Zhao and Fan Zhongyan, an official and an officer, mutually help each other.

They have become His Majesty's right and left hand men.

It greatly threatened my position in the Imperial court.

Now is the best time to topple Ye Zhao.

It's time to pull out this wolf's tooth.

Wife, among the Imperial clan, only I have no child yet.

What? Still no movement?

Ye Zhao can retire and go home for the meantime.

Letting me have a grandchild to embrace is more important.

I earnestly ask Your Majesty to remove Ye Zhao's military power.

I earnestly ask Your Majesty to remove Ye Zhao's military power.

The Great General of the World's Military Force Ye Zhao will not take the post of the commander of the one hundred thousand man army of the Capital anymore.

End of Decree.

Royal Uncle, even if I did a lot of disgraceful deeds, why must my wife get fired?

Since time immemorial,

officials or generals whose achievements have overshadowed their Emperor, would all get cast aside once there's no use for them anymore.

It has ended.

Everything has ended.

Episode 33

Lord, please go inside.

- Call Xiao Feng over. - Just waiting for you.

Say, this female malevolent spirit Ye Zhao is so dark and fierce.

- There's no feminine qualities at all! - Indeed.

And she's even a general. In my opinion, she's a reincarnation of a monster.

- She... - You said it right.

is even inferior to several minor officials.

Who are you talking about? Who are you saying to be the reincarnation of a monster?

We're talking about that female malevolent spirit Ye Zhao. None of your business.

- What does it got to do with you? - Who are you? - Really good...

- What's wrong with you? - Junwang!

- I'm going to rip out your tongues! - Why are you using violence now?

- What are you doing? - Just keep saying that then. - Beat him!

Beat him.

Female malevolent spirit!

- You're still saying that? - She's indeed a female malevolent spirit!

Beat him up!

Bad news! Bad news!

General! We have a problem!

General!

You're not allowed to disturb the General.

If you need anything, say it slowly.

Junwang is in a brawl!

It's with Lord Meng. They are hitting him really hard!

Where?

By the main road.

Lead the way.

General, over there.

Why did they start fighting?

Apricot Brothel

Beat him to death!

You still dare to say it?

Just continue saying it then!

Ye Zhao is my woman!

You're not allowed to insult my woman!

You dare insult my woman?

- Bastard! - Grabbing my weapon and riding my horse to go to battle.

I've endured all the criticisms of the world.

I never thought that a man will stand in front of me. Getting so angry because of his woman.

You all are not allowed to insult my woman!

Come on!

Zhao Yujin, you can't turn back time,

can't block the gossiping mouths of people, and couldn't guard your woman well.

You are a useless man!

- Nanping Junwang... - Beat them up!

is just a powerless, idle royal descendant. A lowly officer that watches the streets.

- Right. - Everything you said is right! - You completely are a person that one can't be proud of.

That's right!

My father and older brother are all high officials in the government. You think I'll be afraid of you!

- Brothers! Beat him up! - Come!

Beat him up!

What? Afraid now?

Let's go.

Toads! Stinky dog poop! Leave!

If you dare to insult my woman again next time, I'll kill you!

Good! Good!

What are you all still looking at? Disperse!

Disperse! Disperse!

Everyone, leave now.

- Go. Go. - It's done. Stop looking.

♫ I am willing to be loyally steadfast to you ♫

♫ Using this in exchange for a missing depth of affection ♫

♫ I'm grateful for your recognizing my worth ♫

♫ For granting me a healthy body ♫

♫ Even though the world is rich and diverse ♫

Why did you come here?

I just arrived.

I drank too much earlier and was just joking around with some friends.

I heard it all.

♫ I am willing to be loyally steadfast to you ♫

♫ Not caring about the scars ♫

♫ Setting aside my pride ♫

♫ and submitting to you ♫

♫ Even if I disappoint the entire world ♫

♫ I will never turn my back on you ♫

♫ My only care in this life is one person ♫

♫ It's you ♫

Today, you held your man's hand while in the main street

and were laughed at by so many people. Do you feel embarrassed?

It was you who grasped my hand.

That... you've received the decree of your removal from office, right?

I did.

Should we send someone to investigate the source of that rumor?

I don't believe that damned stone tablet is true.

No need.

His Majesty has already carried a lot of the criticisms on my behalf.

After I finished arranging the matters in the Capital's military camp,

getting removed from office would happen sooner or later.

I know it very well.

Those ungrateful bastards!

Husband, don't say it that way.

When I started disguising as a man to join the battlefield,

it was also out of willfulness.

I was forced by the circumstances to bear the title of a general.

His Majesty is benevolent and gracious.

He didn't go after my crime of deceiving the Emperor

and even arranged a marriage for me.

I already am very content.

Next, I'll live a leisurely life with you.

It's quite good.

What a pity that knowing and doing are two different things.

Wife, you've been risking your life all this time.

It is indeed time to recuperate and live good days.

Later, I'll try to get some fun weapons for you to play with.

After two years, once your health is completely cured,

I'll then take you to travel.

In this vast world, let's eliminate the evil and become a fairy-like couple.

What about your City Patrol Censor post?

This... they won't allow people to be officials easily, but can't one resign?

I don't care.

By then, we'll put on masks and beat up tyrants when we see them.

When we see beautiful ladies, we'll approach them and flirt a little.

Wherever there is delicious food, we'll go there.

I'm fine with anything.

Okay.

I'll take you to the border then.

There is a huge grassland there where you won't be able to see its end.

It will take you three days by horse to even see another person

and there are packs of wolves.

Their eyes will emit green lights.

When they see people, they will pounce on you. They might bite and kill you.

Afraid now?

I'm not afraid of such measly things.

Are there poisonous snakes?

There are.

I'll protect you.

Come, boy.

Come!

You're something.

You got some skills.

One more time. Come!

How is Song doing now?

Uncle, Ye Zhao's military power has been taken away by the Song emperor.

What did you say? Ye Zhao's military power has been taken away?

They fell into our trap?

It's true.

Good. Good.

I've been fighting on the battlefield all my life.

I've been to hundreds of battles.

The only time that I lost was against Ye Zhao.

I lost to a woman.

That was really a great insult.

Serve the wine!

Good. I'm so happy!

- Come. - Come, Uncle.

Let's have a drink!

Looks like the things that can't be resolved on the battlefield

have finally been resolved because of internal court conflicts.

These Song people are really good at internal strife.

What Your Highness means is...

Based on what I know, Ye Zhao getting removed from her post

was all because of that important card that our government has inserted within the Song government.

You're saying to use that big card to mess up Song?

Now that Ye Zhao has been removed from office,

it is also the time that I should fulfill my grand plan.

That's right. Song's prosperity is really attracting envy.

Uncle, what you said is so right.

We should start planning it out.

Come, Uncle.

Let's drink! Let's use this!

One Hundred Officials Chart

Favored Subject Fan, what is this "Hundred Officials Chart?"

Replying to Your Majesty, since I was tasked to implement reforms,

through my investigations, I discovered that Prime Minister Liu abused private connections

and formed alliances.

Seventy percent of the government's high officials are his allies.

These government officials have placed personal interests about the state.

Mutually protecting each other. Unbearably rotten.

I think in the principle of peace and turmoil, the gains or losses will all rely on the people you use.

If you use the right people, then you get peace.

If you use the wrong people, then you get turmoil.

And in a government, the gains and losses all depend on the use of people in one post, the Prime Minister position.

Continue.

To test rice, you must cook it for three days. In discerning a good material, you must wait for seven years.

The observation of officials and their promotions requires a specific duration of time

and they have to have accomplishments to back it up.

All these will be done according to a proper process.

Hence, I came up with the flowchart of the promotional sequence of the hundreds of officials in the government.

Based on the gravity of their achievements, I came up with a reasonable sequence of promotions.

Based on positional ranking, I've eliminated the useless officials.

I've listed those that should be demoted or fired for your review.

You've saved me a lot of work then.

In flowcharts like this, for example, this part is getting promoted based on sequence.

If it's like this part, then the promotions didn't follow proper sequence.

If it's like this, it was then managed based on official rules.

If it's like this, it was managed based on private reasons.

For those capable officials and those with achievements,

may Your Majesty give them a chance for promotions,

so you could create a new form of political atmosphere.

Promote the talented ones. Suppress the mediocre.

Crack down on the rotten and muddleheaded.

Clever. Clever.

In this chart, it shows how several officials got promoted based on connections.

Regarding these redundant officials, Your Majesty must simplify them.

There are presently too many numbers of government officials.

It can't be helped that a massive reform will happen in personnel.

Beloved Subject Fan, I support you.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Fan Zhongyan created that "One Hundred Officials Chart" to directly lash out at you

for inappropriately using people for self-interest.

Fan Zhongyan indeed has such an intention.

Fan Zhongyan is currently a favored person of His Majesty.

Before, there was still a Prince Qi that could match him.

But now, I think that in His Majesty's heart, there is only Fan Zhongyan.

Reform is a task that will offend people.

The more high profile Fan Zhongyan is, the more low profile Prince Qi has become.

Prince Qi is a man of great wisdom, appearing as slow-witted.

He knows when to move or to retreat, and knows how to play it safe.

Fan Zhongyan is being too loud in his actions and is moving too vigorously.

The trees may prefer calm but the wind will not subside.

We kept yielding, but this has caused their prestige to increase further.

Looks like we should plan our moves soon.

Previously, Lu Zhengting thought of using the handwriting of Fan Zhongyan's goddaughter Hong Qiang

to make His Majesty waver in his trust towards him,

but it didn't work.

The Empress Dowager died.

His Majesty had lofty ideals and aspirations when he started governing by himself.

He wants to change the ways of his ancestors.

Our peaceful times might not last long anymore.

Then, are we going to just sit and wait to be killed? With Fan Zhongyan using the excuse of reformation,

he came up with that "One Hundred Officials Chart" to fool His Majesty.

Fan Zhongyan is a sly fox.

He looks to be an upright and cautious man, so it's hard to find faults on him.

Trying to bring him down

will be harder than bringing down Ye Zhao.

But...

The Prime Minister has a clever trick?

That strength you had when you were dealing with Lord Meng and his friends today

was as if a heavenly god had come down.

Do you now know how strong your husband is?

When I get angry, even I am afraid of myself.

That Meng has touched my limit.

Of course I must deal with him!

Husband, what is your lower limit?

My lower limit is even if thousands of arrows pierce through my heart,

I won't let anyone hurt or insult you.

Do you know about the blade scar on my body?

Why then have you never asked about where it come from?

I know that scar is very important to you.

Hence, I never asked.

If you want to tell me, you will tell me.

While mobilizing my army, I got hurt by an assassin.

I had this scar then ever since. For so many years,

it kept reminding me that there are still a lot of things that I haven't done.

Have you found out who the assassin is?

No.

That man hid himself very deeply and for a long time.

He seems to be waiting for a chance to make his move.

A killer hiding in the deepest shadow is the most hateful.

I must find him and personally kill him.

Was it painful then?

I still feel scared just by thinking about it now.

But it's good that the heavens have eyes.

They blessed my wife to be safe.

But it left a very ugly scar.

Who said that it's ugly?

This is a glorious mark.

Who has gone to the battlefield without receiving any scars?

I so want to go the battlefield now and get some scars on my body.

Husband, if you want to go to the battlefield, we can go together in the future.

Forget it. Going to the battlefield isn't fun, either.

Right... Since Royal Uncle wanted you to stay at home to assist your husband and teach your children,

and since you're already bored with playing on the battlefield,

why don't we change our manner of living?

Just peacefully and steadfastly stay at home to live your days.

From now on, I'll be at ease and just accompany you.

That's more like it.

You must remember that no matter how good the outside is, it won't compare to how well your husband treats you.

I know.

Military Strategist.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki

Heavenly father,

your disciple has been loved and favored by the Junwang for two years already.

But I was born infertile and couldn't bear any children.

When General arrived in this household, she treated me very well.

I treat her as my real sister.

I'm unable to ask for any children in this lifetime anymore,

but I hope that Heavenly Father can bless the General to have children soon.

Bless the General to stay healthy.

Bless that the General can have wealth, glory, splendor, and fame.

And bless that the General will be able to protect me.

Meiniang! What are you doing?

I am praying to Heavenly Father to bless our General to stay healthy. What about you?

Anyway, I've already straightened out my thinking.

Since the General has been removed from office, won't she actually have time to play with us?

This... that is indeed the case.

But with the General getting removed from her post,

won't our good days be threatened?

It can't be that bad. With a Nanping Junwang Manor this big,

you think we would starve?

Indeed. A dead camel from starvation is still larger than a horse.

But if a day like that indeed comes, let's just eat less.

Let's just treat it as trying to preserve our figure.

Let's go and look for Concubine Yang.

- Okay. Wait for me for a while. - Let's go.

Why is Concubine Yang locking her doors during broad daylight?

There seems to be a voice coming from inside.

Goddess of Mercy, I've already served the Junwang for two years,

but we only slept together for twenty days.

Good thing that among the harem, I can be counted as being favored to next to Meiniang.

Before, just to get ahead, she would even count the days and take a lot of supplements.

She really gave it a lot of effort, but was just unable to have a child.

Good thing Meiniang and Xuan'er didn't get pregnant, either.

Hence, everyone thought that it was Junwang's health that is in question.

Why mention me out of nowhere?

Although the Princess Consort Zhao made me a tongfang, Junwang just treats me as a servant maid.

Stop talking. Quickly listen to what else she's saying.

I have been taking Chinese herbs secretly,

but it was of no use. I never got pregnant.

Also, since the General entered the household,

the Junwang's attention has been with her.

Look at this Concubine Yang. She even has the wild ambition of becoming the Main Madam.

Looks like in her heart, we both are not her competition. It's only the General.

I think that she better stop that thought soon.

Since the General became part of this household,

she thought highly of my managing skills and even allowed me to manage the harem.

But this isn't what I want.

I just hope to bear the Junwang a child as soon as possible

and fulfill the desire of Mother-in-law for a grandchild.

Bodhisattva, please bless the General, Meiniang, and Xuan'er.

Sister, you're here. Xuan'er and I were just planning to see you.

I was just doing the books. Why don't you two go in and have a seat.

Sister, we won't come in anymore. We just came today to tell you some big news.

Big news?

The General got relieved from her duty.

But Sister, you don't need to tire yourself in managing the household books from now on.

Maybe the General will do it by herself now.

Is your news accurate?

- Accurate? Eunuch Jiang already came to read the decree. - Yes.

This... how come she suddenly got relieved from duty?

Actually, Sister, you don't need to be this worried.

Maybe the General will still be like before, just checking the books once a month.

By then she might still ask you to meticulously handle the account books.

You're right.

Then, Sister is still doing the books. We won't bother you anymore.

If you have time, come often to visit me.

I was so scared.

The General got removed from her post. Will my management of the harem get affected?

Maybe the wealth, glory, splendor, and fame that I'm experiencing will pale from before.

But towards the General, the Junwang will...

Wrong, towards Ye Zhao, he will be a bit indifferent.

If that's the case, the Junwang might favor me again.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki

Bodhisattva, thank you for making your presence felt.

You all have become more and more unruly. With such a big thing happening,

how could you hide it from me? Do you still treat me as your mother-in-law?

Mother-in-law, please calm down.

When Ye Zhao lost her loved ones, she learned how precious a family is.

Usually, she is very obedient to Brother-in-law Yujin.

Towards you, she is also very filial and would frequently visit.

Even if you scold her, she never dared to answer back.

Am I an unreasonable person?

Of course not.

Why then does she keep making me angry?

Mother-in-law, that Ye Zhao isn't like the ordinary aristocratic daughters.

She is used to wielding swords and spears since she was little. She doesn't know much about the etiquette here in the Capital.

But think about it. Doesn't she stay by your side to assist you during every gathering here in our house?

Stop mentioning about family gatherings. It always turns into a joke because of her.

I'm not fortunate enough to bear her kind of filial piety.

Forgive me for being frank then. It is because you usually are too observant of conventional standards.

Also, you came from a noble family. It's just normal that you're unable to accept her actions.

Some time ago, I asked Cuizhi and Cuiye

to go to their manor and listen for movements.

- Guess what they said when they returned. - What?

They said that it's either they hear people saying that Junwang is forcing his wife to squat over a fire pan,

or that the Junwang left because of extreme anger at his wife.

Also something about the Junwang playing with his wife's horse and accidentally getting kicked by it.

What's making me more mad is the Junwang not visiting his other concubines for a long time.

Some time ago, Yujin wanted to make Miss Liu his concubine,

but it got foiled by this Ye Zhao. Why is she so hateful?

What's the use of making her stay?

Yes... That Ye Zhao indeed did some inappropriate acts.

But the two of them becoming husband and wife is also thanks to their past fate.

Also, did you notice, that their relationship has become more harmonious?

Really? How come I feel that

my son's life is becoming more miserable? Just thinking about it and my heart will ache.

No, I must go visit Yujin.

For the succeeding days, Ah Zhao will be staying longer here in the manor. You all must take good care of her.

Make her happy. In short, just show her more care. You all mustn't anger her.

- Understand? - Okay.

If you have nothing to do, take her to go shopping. Buy some jewelry or clothes.

- Okay. - Junwang, mother-in-law is here.

Mother.

Where is Ye Zhao?

She went to the military camp.

Didn't she get removed from office?

There are still some important military affairs that she must endorse.

Not staying at home all day.

Mother-in-law, I've always heard that the garden here in Junwang Manor is very beautiful.

I want to ask Xuan'er and Meiniang to take me there to look. Is that okay?

- Go then. - Yes.

Everyone else, leave, too.

Let's go.

Mother, hurry and sit down.

Mother, you're looking younger every time.

Does Ye Zhao have a problem with giving birth?

No such thing!

The Imperial physician already told me. You still want to lie?

It's no big deal. She just needs to be nursed.

Imperial physician already said that because of leading her army to war outside for so many years,

she has destroyed her health by getting exposed to snowy weather. What if she never bears any child?

Mother, don't rush. It's just been more than a month since she started nursing her health.

If you're afraid of your wife's temper, I'll speak on your behalf.

I'll give you Cuizhi. You two have a secret affair for now.

By then, I'll solve this matter for you.

This is so troublesome.

How is this troublesome?

Ye Zhao is rash by nature.

You married her as your main wife. You don't even touch your concubines!

When can our Zhao family have descendants then?

Aren't we at a huge disadvantage here?

Actually, after living together for a long time, Ah Zhao's character isn't that bad. She also treats me very well.

Our days are also acceptable. Moreover, there's no such thing as being at an advantage or disadvantage

between a husband and wife. Didn't my father also have no children with his concubines?

This... your father? That is because I didn't allow him to have any concubines.

He was unable to disobey me.

Anyway, you can't keep following Ye Zhao.

She doesn't have my bearing as a main madam.

Of course.

Mother, let's just slowly wait.

Having a child isn't like a chicken laying eggs.

Propagating descendants is a major clan matter.

You have been weak and sickly since you were little. Of course, I hope that you can have children soon.

I can also comfort your father's soul in heaven.

Mother, think about it. Ah Zhao's physique is so sturdy. Ordinary men couldn't even compare.

If she bears you grandchildren, then they surely will have a tiger's back and a bear's waist, have enormous strength,

be as strong as a bull. This will completely change the foundation of our Zhao gene.

From now on, my sons will be the tyrants of the capital.

By then, my sons will have your good-looking face and Ah Zhao's physique.

Inherit your pretty face and Ah Zhao's martial arts skills. Inherit your high and noble blood line

and Ah Zhao's loyal and righteous character. By then, won't our Zhao descendants

be of elite quality and unrivaled?

That's right.

Isn't it?

Although Ye Zhao is rash,

her physique is indeed very healthy.

If our Zhao descendants can acquire Ye Zhao's physically strong gene,

the future of our Zhao family then...

This is a good thing. This is a very good thing.

Cuizhi, hurry and go back to our manor.

Choose ten kinds of high-grade supplements.

Every three days, instruct the kitchen to make my daughter-in-law that "Ten Completely Nutritious Soup."

Oh, right, go and ask for several "Bodhisattva Sending Children" paintings from the temple.

Let Ye Zhao stare at it every day.

It's fine. Just tell Ye Zhao to be at ease. Nursing one's health

isn't a thing that can be rushed. We mustn't rush.

If those concubines dare to cause trouble again,

I'll go deal with them. Are they revolting?

Mother, don't worry. We are very harmonious here.

That's good then.

- Junwang. - What's wrong?

- Junwang, Old Boss Yang is asking for you. - Why?

He said that last night, by the pond of Lu Zhenting,

they were able to dig up a female corpse. He asked that you go over there to check it.

Female corpse! No, I must take a look.

Hey! You must be careful. One can easily get bad luck from things like that.

Mother, don't worry.

Okay.

Your Highness, this way.

- Junwang. - Junwang.

- Junwang, you're finally here! - What's going on?

Because of the torrential rains this year, not only Jiangbei and Xiushui had flooding,

Dongjing also became an ocean.

Because of obstruction in the canal system of the city, there were people who drowned from the low-lying areas.

I know all this! Get to the point!

After the Capital Magistrate sent people to investigate the cause of the flooding, he discovered

that Lu Zhenting's backyard has illegally constructed this place.

This exactly blocked the underground sewage canal, hence...

- Get to the main point! - Yes, the main point.

Lord He feared the power of Lu Zhenting and dared not make decisions by himself.

So he reported it to the Imperial court.

His Majesty personally gave the permission to remove the illegal building.

But when we were doing the demolition, we found this female corpse.

Junwang, do you want to take a look?

This... you can just look at it by yourself.

Be meticulous in your investigation. Tell the coroner to make detailed notes to help in solving this case.

Yes, Lord.

Come, hurry...

Lu Zhenting...

Junwang.

Lord He, is there any progress with the case?

Oh my, that was so frightening.

- I have never seen a female corpse that scary. - Cut with the crap.

Did you get any result from your investigation?

Coroner, you say it.

Replying to the Junwang, the victim is approximately eighteen to nineteen years old. The decomposition level is quite severe.

Her skeleton is showing signs of struggle.

Based on my initial assessment, she might have died from strangulation of her neck.

It is indeed a murder!

Who is the female corpse?

Based on our initial assessment, it might be Hong Qiang that was registered to be missing a few days ago.

Hong Qiang!

Capital Magistrate, quickly investigate who the murderer is.

Yes, Junwang, I understand. I will immediately start a trial to investigate this matter.

I will handle it personally and be impartial. Try the case and close it.

Go now.

Why would Hong Qiang from Lord Fan's manor die in Lu Zhenting's backyard?

What's going on here? We've buried her so deeply! How come they were still able to dig her out?

Who would have known that a flood would occur in the Capital?

Out of nowhere, His Majesty suddenly ordered the clearing of all the canals in the city.

This Hong Qiang that I killed is Fan Zhongyan's goddaughter.

Fan Zhongyan is very stubborn and has a one-track mind. When he gets crazy, even His Majesty can't control him.

Now that something like this happened, he surely will not let me off.

It's just a matter that can be resolved by spending more. Although that Hong Qiang is Fan Zhongyan's goddaughter,

her background is still lowly and was originally a singer.

She indeed died in our backyard, but we can insist

that we didn't know about this.

Master.

Don't shout!

She... is dead.

If she doesn't die, it's we who will die.

What do we do now?

- Bury her. - Bury?

The deeper, the better.

Master, hurry. This way.

Come, this way.

This is a dried-up well that has been abandoned for a long time. Let's throw her inside and seal it.

I'm guaranteeing that no one will notice it.

Let's just bury her next time.

And then, renovate this garden, too.

Okay. I will quickly take care of this matter.

Hateful cat.

Let's go.

Ye Zhao has already lost her military power. Fan Zhongyan's strength has also been suppressed.

Even if they refuse to reconcile with what happened, how big a storm can they really create?

If Hong Qiang's corpse didn't get dug up, everything is easier to handle.

But now, this corpse got dug out from our garden.

Can I extricate myself from this?

If you kill someone, you have to pay with your life. Even if Prince Qi will ask for leniency in my behalf,

I might be able to escape the death sentence but not the living punishment.

Living punishment?

Getting imprisoned.

♫ Using this in exchange for a missing depth of affection ♫

♫ I'm grateful for your recognizing my worth ♫

♫ For granting me a healthy body ♫

♫ Even though the world is rich and diverse ♫

♫ It cannot compare to your pure and honest gaze ♫

♫ I am willing to be loyally steadfast to you ♫

♫ Using this in exchange for a missing depth of affection ♫

♫ I'm grateful for your recognizing my worth ♫

♫ For granting me a healthy body ♫

♫ Even though the world is rich and diverse ♫

♫ It cannot compare to your pure and honest gaze ♫

♫ I am willing to be loyally steadfast to you ♫

♫ Not caring about the scars ♫

♫ Setting aside my pride ♫

♫ and submitting to you ♫

♫ Even if I disappoint the entire world ♫

♫ I will never turn my back on you ♫

♫ My only care in this life is one person ♫

♫ It's you ♫
