Oh My General

Say, this female malevolent spirit Ye Zhao...

- She... - Indeed.

is even inferior to several minor officials.

Who are you talking about? I'm going to rip out your tongues!

What are you doing?

Just keep saying that then.

Beat him up.

Ye Zhao is my woman! You're not allowed to insult my woman!

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.

Ye Zhao getting removed from her post

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

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

That strength you had when you were dealing with Lord Meng and his friends today was as if a heavenly god had come down.

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.

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.

- 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?

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

She... is... dead?

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

Episode 34

Even if Prince Qi will ask for leniency on my behalf,

I might be able to avoid the death penalty, but won't be able to avoid the living penalty.

Living penalty?

Getting imprisoned, my wife.

No, husband, you mustn't get imprisoned.

If you get taken in, our home will completely be destroyed.

Husband.

If we really reach that day,

I won't be able to take care of you all even if I want to.

After entering the depths of the prison,

no one might even know that you have died.

Husband, you still have me.

You?

You're a woman. What's the use?

Husband,

just to preserve this family, I'll admit to the crime.

Wife...

My good wife...

I never thought that you could be this highly-principled.

I'll forever... be faithful to you.

High Pavilion Towering Up to the Clouds

Lord, Changsheng Gambling House's Lu Zhenting asks for an audience.

Why did he come here?

- Let him in. - Yes.

Respectful greetings to Capital Magistrate He.

Master Lu, what do you need from me?

Just some good intentions.

Please accept them.

What are you doing? I won't accept payment if I didn't do anything. Take this back.

If Capital Magistrate won't accept them, how can I bear to ask my favor?

Master Lu, if you have business, just say it. Take that item away.

Okay.

I came for Hong Qiang's case. Miss Hong Qiang died in our backyard.

I really have been innocently dragged into this case.

I earnestly ask Capital Magistrate He to investigate this case clearly for my sake.

Regarding Hong Qiang's case, don't worry. I surely will handle it with fairness.

Lord He, I've long heard that you're an upright and clean official.

But you must accept these bits of labor fee.

Master Lu, regarding the case, I can tell you about it.

But if you are going to give me things, I urge you to just go back now.

Just hearing it might be false, but seeing it makes it true.

Lord He is a clean official, a very clean official.

I am impressed.

Here. Forgive me that I can't send you off.

I will take my leave.

Just using that much money to bribe me? I won't fall for that!

Madam Ding, narrate the events leading to the crime. It must be true and undrestandable.

You mustn't deliberately fabricate things, or else your crime will worsen.

- I understand, Lord. - Say it.

Hong Qiang and I met in the streets. I saw that her characters that she wrote on lanterns were quite pretty.

I then invited her back to my manor to write on some lanterns for me.

Who would have known that she got greedy after seeing precious things and stole my golden bracelet.

I got very angry and slapped her.

Who knew that this lady would just turn around and run while crying.

I thought that the young lady was just being petty.

When I tried to look for her, she was gone.

Lord, I never thought that she would jump into the well and commit suicide.

That well was a dried-up well.

If not because they were trying to open up the canals, I wouldn't have known up to now

that a corpse was hiding in my house.

Lord, you must give me justice.

I'm being bothered by this dead person and living in fear every day.

Men, bring in the witness!

As a witness, your testimony must be true.

If you dare to fabricate it, I'll try you as an accomplice.

I understand, Lord.

What is your testimony?

Hong Qiang indeed stayed in my Apricot Brothel for quite some time.

She was very stubborn and willful.

I asked her to sing some songs for the guest, she then started crying and foiled my business.

That day, out of anger, I hit her a few times.

Never thought that right there and then, she threatened to jump off the building.

Everyone in our brothel world knows about this.

Hope Lord can investigate it clearly.

Yes, Lord. Hong Qiang came from the brothel. She has a crafty, stubborn, and unruly personality.

First, I found out that she stole from me. Then, I publicly humiliated her.

Hence, she thought of jumping into the well.

Lord, I indeed lost control that time. I shouldn't have slapped her face.

I should have just directly brought her to the local court.

But... why did Hong Qiang die in the well afterwards,

I really don't know, Lord.

Lord...

Hope that a just judge like you can implement the law in an impartial manner.

What's wrong? Who is it!

"Hope that

a just judge can implement the law with impartiality."

Husband, so many gold pieces, Husband!

He's threatening me to close the case.

He's using gold to threaten me to close the case!

Husband, since he wants to give it to us, let's just accept them.

- We can't accept them! We mustn't accept this gold! - Husband!

Husband, who are you going to return them to?

Moreover, who would throw gold in another person's house in the middle of the night?

If you return it to him tomorrow, but he denies that it's from him, and even accuses you of accepting bribes,

you won't be able to clean your name even if you jump into the Yellow River.

I think that we should just accept this gold now.

Maybe it's just some noble warrior stealing from rich people to help the poor.

Such a lot of gold.

Lu Zhenting, you bastard.

You stinky rascal!

I... how come I can't think of any way to deal with him!

Perspicacious and Impartial in Judgment

After meticulous verification of this case, everything is now very clear.

The victim Hong Qiang indeed had an altercation with Madam Ding.

Her emotions became uncontrolled,

hence, she jumped into the well to commit suicide.

The victim suffered humiliation before dying.

Madam Ding, you can't deny your involvement in this. You're sentenced to three years in prison.

Compensate the victim's family five hundred liang in silver

as appeasement fee and for burial expenses.

Men! Escort Madam Ding to the prison!

Yes.

Capital Magistrate He, I'm innocent!

I'm innocent!

I suffered severe mental disturbance.

May Lord have mercy!

Court dismissed!

Mighty...

Your Highness, you're back just in time.

Now, the atmosphere in the government is changing.

Fan Zhongyan is in a frenzy and is making secret interventions.

He is attempting to topple me from my important government position.

I heard that Fan Zhongyan's "One Hundred Officials Chart"

directly pointed out that the gains and losses of the government in using people are all dependent on the Prime Minister.

His Majesty has already ordered Fan Zhongyan to investigate all the officials around you

for corruption and negligence in duty.

There are already a lot of people who got fired and sentenced for it.

I've been in the government for twenty years.

I did my best to assist Empress Dowager Liu in temporarily governing the court.

I bent to a task and spared no effort for state affairs.

Now that the Empress Dowager has died,

His Majesty sees me as an eyesore, as a thorn in his throat.

Fan Zhongyan is attacking the Prime Minister for destroying the state these past twenty years,

acting like a dictator, bringing disaster to the laws and discipline of the Imperial court, getting feared by everyone.

Prime Minister, Fan Zhongyan is pressing hard on you with his every step and is showing momentum of replacing you.

Your situation isn't good.

Fan Zhongyan is just using unscrupulous means to gain power.

He's using the new government as an excuse to destroy high officials.

He... also is targeting Your Highness Prince Qi

He really doesn't know the immensity of the consequences of his actions.

Against such a mad person, don't know if Your Highness has any good suggestion.

Prime Minister Liu, Ye Zhao has already been removed from her military post.

Fan Zhongyan has created so many enemies by implementing the reforms.

He's not worthy to be feared.

But we should put things right once and for all to prevent future troubles.

We must join forces, be sincere in working together, and be bound by our hatred against a common enemy.

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

Elder Brother, drink some tea.

Oh, right. Elder Brother, why are you here this early?

His Majesty ordered me to inspect the financial expenses of the Chancellor of the Treasury.

It's still early, so I stopped by here in passing.

Office of the Chancellor of Treasury? The assistant is Imperial Tutor Liu.

It can be said that he holds great power in the Imperial court

and has always been your political rival.

He does his official post, while I do my duty.

If one is straight, he won't be afraid that his shadow will curve.

I heard that Elder Brother created a "One Hundred Officials Chart,"

which also obliquely hinted of Imperial Tutor Liu relying on his close relationship with Empress Dowager Liu.

Elder Brother, it's better if you be cautious.

If this continues, you will be offending all officials in the government.

What I comment on are major state affairs.

I don't really have any personal opinion or grudge to any individual.

Oh, right. Hong Qiang died in the backyard of the Lu family.

This matter is too fishy.

Hong Qiang has never been greedy.

Even more so, she would not do a stupid thing like stealing.

But her personality is indeed unyielding.

Getting framed by the Lu family

and then thinking of jumping into the well to kill herself is plausible.

Hong Qiang's death is so dubious.

What are your plans?

This case is also being investigated by the Junwang Manor.

The degradation of the corpse is quite severe. The coroner couldn't even do an autopsy anymore.

Now, General Ye has just been removed from her post.

It can't be helped for her to be down.

At this moment, I don't want to add any more trouble to their family.

Elder Brother has a lot of official matters to attend to.

It's more important to finish handling the matters that His Majesty has instructed you to do.

Younger Sister, you must take good care of yourself.

Always remember your status as the wife of the eldest son of the Ye family and be a role model.

Yes. Elder Brother, don't worry.

Okay, already. It's quite late.

I should go to the Office of the Chancellor of the Treasury.

Let me walk you out.

Elder Gong.

Lord Fan, stop calling me "Elder Gong."

Am I that old?

I don't know what to call you then.

Just call me "Young Gong."

- Young Gong?- Young Gong... ?

Grandfather, stop making things difficult on my older brother.

He has always put importance in the rule of seniority.

How can he suddenly call you "Young Gong?"

Granddaughter-in-law, you are part of my Ye family.

How come your arm is turning away and is speaking on behalf of an outsider?

Since Lord Fan is the representative of the reform party,

then make some reforms in your address, too.

Elder Gong, thank you for your lecture.

But reformation isn't denying everything.

Especially about seniority, benevolence, justice, and proper etiquette.

As the old saying goes, being respectful but not within the bounds of proper etiquette will bring discomfort.

Being careful but not within the bounds of proper etiquette will make one cower and be overcautious.

Being brave but not within the bounds of proper etiquette will cause one to break the law and principles.

Being straightforward but not within the bounds of proper etiquette will bring caustic harm to others.

I don't want to listen anymore.

Hurry and leave...

You just love to bring up sages out of nowhere.

My head is getting dizzy. Just quickly go...

I'll take my leave.

Grandfather.

Granddaughter-in-law, are you and Old Fan really from the same mother?

Of course.

Although my older brother is older than I am by a lot, we are indeed from the same parents.

How come Old Fan looks stupid and silly?

His own goddaughter got murdered,

yet he showed no reaction at all?

I know Elder Brother.

With Hong Qiang encountering such misfortune,

he is actually in great pain deep inside.

It's just that because of the reforms in the government, he has a lot of official matters to do.

His Majesty also has placed great hopes on him.

Elder Brother is left with no choice and just doesn't have time to grieve.

But there is one person... that's grieving more than he is..

Who?

Xiao Xiazi of Junwang Manor.

Hong Qiang is a person in his heart.

What do you mean by that, Grandfather?

In Xiao Xiazi's eyes, there is a Hong Qiang.

In Hong Qiang's eyes, there's no Xiao Xiazi.

In Xiao Xiazi's eyes, there is a Hong Qiang.

In Hong Qiang's eyes, there's no Xiao Xiazi.

Grandfather, what are you saying?

You and Lord Fan indeed are siblings.

Grandfather, you're saying that you know about Hong Qiang's matters?

- Ha? - Do you know what happened to Hong Qiang?

- Ha? - Grandfather!

I'll go play now. I won't talk to you anymore.

Going to play now!

Grandfather! Grandfather!

Grandfather! Grandfather!

How come you talk in half?

How did Hong Qiang die?

Grandfather, how did Hong Qiang really die?

I don't know anything. I don't know.

I was just fooling you earlier.

Fooling me?

You're sure?

I'm sure.

I initially planned to cook a chicken and ginseng soup

for Grandfather to supplement your health.

But from the looks of it now, I don't need to anymore.

Grandfather's body is good and your brain is working fast.

You also run fast.

Looks like, let's just wait once you're older before I cook it for you.

Say, Granddaughter-in-law, it's like this.

A chicken soup gets better the more you cook it.

Just boil the chicken first. Use mild heat to cook it.

This... once I've really become old,

it won't be too late to eat it.

In my opinion, Grandfather is smart, quick-witted, young, and mighty.

You won't get old even after eight to ten more years.

Forget it. I'll just go back and raise a group of chicks.

I'll just cook them once they've become adults.

Granddaughter-in-law,

in my opinion, it's better to cook it today.

Cook it today?

It is also fine to cook it today.

It's just that... this Hong Qiang...

- This Hong Qiang... - Fine. Fine.

I'll tell you about it now.

You must not tell anyone else.

I guarantee.

You... should cook the chicken soup first and I'll tell you once I eat it.

Grandfather!

Hurry and go, Granddaughter-in-law. Hurry and go!

Hurry! Hurry up. I'm so hungry!

May I ask Lord what do you need?

I came here to wait for Lord Liu.

Lord Liu will be back soon.

Are you cooking medicine for him?

Indeed.

Lord Liu is currently unwell. He carries a medicine bottle all the time and asked me to prepare it.

Lord, please sit down.

"Burying the country's problems."

You're about to die and you still are being arrogant.

"Attending to the state's troubles."

Looks like Lord Liu wants to use Ban Gu to praise the words of Sima Qian (T/N: famous historian)

and encourage himself.

Fire! Fire!

There's a fire.

Fire!

Men!

Put out the fire! Fire!

Men!

Men!

Put out the fire!

Fight the fire! Get a move on, move it!

Get a move on! Men, put the fire out!

Fire! Fire!

Xiao Guizi, what's going on?

Replying to the Lord. I was cooking some medicine inside.

I just went to the latrine for a short while and a fire started already here.

I rushed back to put out the fire but it was too late.

Xiao Guizi, who else went into the Legal Money Room?

Replying to Lord, after I went to the latrine, only Lord Fan was left inside.

Lord Liu, you invited me here to discuss about financial matters.

Never thought that a fire will break out here.

- Inform the Ministry of Justice to immediately come here and investigate this matter! - Yes.

Fan Zhongyan, you personally go explain things to His Majesty!

Lord Liu!

Hurry! Hurry!

Imperial Tutor Liu,

as the assistant minister to the Chancellor of the Treasury, don't you know what kind of place is the Legal Money Room?

Your Majesty, please calm down. I admit my mistake.

Just one fire and it burned all the books of my state for the past five years.

Imperial Tutor Liu, what punishment must you receive?

Replying to Your Majesty, I am innocent.

How are you innocent?

Every year, Your Majesty

will give out ten thousand in silver to be distributed to the major ministries.

It's to be used by them for construction and major expenses.

Based on our empire's practice, it's again time to gather and report the books.

The different major departments must submit their expense report to the Office of the Chancellor of Treasury.

I was just doing my duty

and informed Fan Zhongyan to go there.

Unluckily, I contracted a cold today which wasn't showing any improvement.

Hence, I ordered my footboy to cook medicine in my office.

After Fan Zhongyan arrived,

my footboy just went to the latrine and the fire already started.

At scene of the fire, only Lord Fan was in there.

Lord Fan and I have always been at odds with each other.

Fan Zhongyan bears grudges against me.

Hence, he knocked the stove over to frame it on me.

Hope Your Majesty can investigate it.

Fan Zhongyan, what's going on here?

Replying to Your Majesty, I indeed accidentally knocked the stove over.

But it didn't happen before the fire, but after the fire.

Your Majesty, Lord Fan is lying.

At the time, only Lord Fan was inside the Legal Money Room.

Your Majesty,

the arsonist is obviously some other person.

He's trying to frame this on me and push me to death. Hope Your Majesty can clearly investigate it.

Fan Zhongyan, do you have a witness who's willing to testify?

I went alone to the Office of the Chancellor of Treasury to report for work.

Your Majesty, all are just excuses by Fan Zhongyan.

I have a testimony from my footboy.

I also have the Ministry of Justice's evidence confirmation report.

All evidences are complete. The truth is now very clear.

May Your Majesty look at it.

Jiang Luhai.

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

Fan Zhongyan,

all the evidences are pointing to you.

You claim that you're innocent, but you couldn't prove it.

What else do you want to say?

I am innocent.

Based on the present evidence, this fire case

is indeed an arson. But there are so many doubtful parts.

Whether Fan Zhongyan is indeed accountable, I will investigate it further.

But because Fan Zhongyan currently is holding great responsibility in implementing the reforms,

I will delay the punishment of Fan Zhongyan.

I will just choose a better time in the future to give his punishment.

I am very grateful for Your Majesty's mercy.

Imperial Tutor Liu,

as the assistant minister of the Office of the Chancellor of Treasury,

you didn't take good care of the recent books, causing them all to be all lost in a fire, causing us great losses.

Starting today, you are being demoted to warehouse manager of the Office of the Chancellor of Treasury.

You will be in charge of the new books. If any mistake happens again,

I will not easily forgive you.

Your Majesty. Your Majesty's closing the case like this

is being too hasty and casual. This isn't your style, Your Majesty.

How dare you! I am the Son of Heaven! Whatever decision I make,

I don't need to discuss it with you.

Your Majesty, closing the case is like this is too hasty and casual.

This isn't your style.

Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty... !

Wife, here. Drink your medicine.

That's more like it. Here.

If you hate your illness, then eat medicine. If you hate it, then digest it in your stomach.

Look at what you're saying. So, you should eat anyone that you hate?

Isn't that so? Just like how I hate you so much,

that I so want to chew you into pieces and swallow into my stomach.

You hate me that much?

It isn't hate. It's extreme hate.

You really hate me?

The Huxiao dagger?

- It has always been with me. - Where's the other one?

It's inside our room.

Go and get it.

Okay.

Here.

There are indeed two of them.

One is genuine. One is an imitation by Master Li.

A few days ago, someone handed His Majesty

a Huxiao Dagger. He said that the investigators

found your personal weapon in the crime scene of Master Li and wanted to use this to accuse you of misconduct.

But that's weird. How come there is one more copy?

Do you remember that you once said that on the night that Master Li died,

you took away the real Huxiao dagger and then he hurriedly made another one?

This dagger looks a lot like Ah Zhao's Huxiao dagger.

Master Li hid the real dagger,

but last night I forcefully took it from him.

There is still one imitation dagger in Ah Zhao's room.

And now, there is another on in the crime scene.

Could it be that Master Li loves this dagger so much

that he made another one overnight?

I remember.

It's possible that the killer used the dagger that was rushed to hide the real marks of his crime.

But how come it ended up with His Majesty now?

Technically speaking, a murder weapon is usually placed together with the criminal's testimony materials

and stored in the local court.

Unless...

Unless someone stole it.

That's right.

Wife, we have a task to do. Let's go break this case together.

Okay.

Good! Good!

Good!

Good!

- Both are great. - Not bad.

Let me do it.

- Sister Qiu Hua, you're so great. - Thank you.

- You have worked hard. Quickly drink some water. - Here. Hold it.

Sister Qiu Hua, although I've been on battlefields, I never had a weapon that truly belonged to me.

You are an expert in weapons. Why don't you think about what weapon is suitable for me?

What kind do you like?

I like... a cha weapon. (T/N: Chinese trident, one of the 18 weapons)

Then use a "Moon Iron Trident" then.

"Moon Iron Trident?"

Then, Sister, how big and how heavy must my "Moon Iron Trident" be?

How big and how heavy?

How about you accompany me to get one?

- Sure. - Okay.

- Give that to me. - Massage gently.

- I'm still a lady. Right? - Okay...

We also want to learn some basic martial arts.

No rush. No rush.

- Let's go. - Okay. Let's go.

Owner.

Customers, what do you need?

We want a long "Moon Iron Trident."

It should be four chi long and one chi wide. (T/N: 1.3 m/4 feet x .3 m/1 foot wide head)

In a "moon shape." The opening of the trident should be at least a fist wide.

The trident must be sharp, sharp, sharp.

You must use the best kind of steel to make it. Money is not a problem.

Okay. Five liang silver. Pay one liang first as a deposit.

Let me! Here.

Okay. Just claim it after three days.

No problem.

We've ordered the weapon. Let's go back now.

Hey, Sister Qui Hua,

look how bustling the market is. Why don't we stroll around for a while?

Do you still have things that you want to buy?

I also don't know what I want to buy. I just want to look around.

- Okay. Let's go. - Okay.

Xu Duohua?

You who don't know the immensity of the heaven and earth...

No wonder Qiu Shui told me that you are a toad trying to eat a swan's meal.

Okay. Let me see how you'll take my daughter away.

Xu Duohua.

You don't seem to want to buy anything. Why don't we just go back?

Sister Qiu Hua, I have never seen you wear any jewelry. You surely will look good if you wear some.

Me? Wearing jewelry?

Will it look good?

It surely will.

Look at this. Simple and unique.

Please take a look.

Say, it does look nice.

- Let me gift it to you. - No... I'll pay for it myself.

Miss, this lad sincerely wants to gift this to you. It is also not some expensive thing.

It's just five wen. Just accept it.

Don't disappoint this lad's sincere intention.

You hear that? The owner already said it that way.

This lad has taste. Look at that bracelet. Simple and low-key.

It is very compatible with you.

I'll accept it then.

- Boss.- Okay. Thank you.

Before, I didn't understand why those women

will like wearing heavy jewelry like this.

Now I know.

It can actually make someone feel very happy.

Sister Qiu Hua, you should come out to shop more often when you're not doing anything.

Anyway, I'm always idle. I'll accompany you.

I can protect you and even help you choose jewelry.

Thank you, Xu Duohua.

Who else is in your family?

I still have a grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, an older brother,

a younger brother, and a younger sister.

What a huge family.

That's right. But after returning to the Capital, I've only been home once. I quite miss them a lot.

What's wrong?

Dust seemed to have entered my eye.

I... Let me blow it for you.

Father?

- Father! What are you doing? - Uncle Laohu!

Lord Laohu, why are you bullying me again?

I'm not bullying you! I'm even going to teach you a lesson!

Get lost!

Father!

- Father! - Someone's hitting people!

Don't run!

Father! What are you doing?

Stinky rascal, let me be frank with you.

If my daughter will marry, she'll marry an educated person.

Not an uncivilized fighter like you. You better get rid of that idea now.

Uncle Laohu, let me tell you this then.

I will become a scholar right now!

I'll buy a 'Classic of Xiao' now and read it!

I just like Qiu Hua! I won't marry anyone except her!

Okay. Okay. I'll break your leg then!

Really good! If you have guts, don't run!

Who is your uncle? We don't have a relative like you!

Really good, stinky brat. You're a grown up now.

I've raised you for twenty-two years.

Just one Xu Duohua using several wen of rotten bracelet, and he was able to take you away?

You're really something!

Father, when have you raised me for twenty-two years?

You only raised me for sixteen years, okay?

For the rest, it was General Ye who raised me.

You are starting to answer back now?

Oh my, I'm so mad!

Father, I didn't mean it that way.

Your daughter isn't a child anymore. I'm a grown up.

Yes. You are now an adult. You can even get married.

But you must marry an educated person and not Xu Duohua.

What kind of person is Xu Duohua? He's like your father.

He doesn't know many words.

Anyway, I'm against you two being together.

Father, you heard it.

Xu Duohua said that he's going to study the "Classic of Xiao."

Bullshit. "Classic of Xiao." I even know the "The Book of Family Names." Can that feed you?

Father, isn't the General also an uneducated person? But didn't she also earn such might and prestige?

Who is the General? She's the pride of the Song dynasty.

That Xu Duohua is the rubbish of the Song dynasty!

- Father! - Okay already. Stop saying it.

Anyway, I'm against you two being together.

♫ 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 ♫
