Mi,

I was wrong.

But I don't regret it.

Runyu,

do you know it's no use repenting?

Back in the day, you and I...

This is a popular myth

that is widespread in Weiyang.

It is about the love entanglement

between a gorgeous Grape Fairy,

the God of Fire and the God of Night in antediluvian period.

It's quite interesting.

But the ending varies greatly.

It's different in every script.

We don't know which is right.

What endings does it have?

It's said that

after using the Grape Fairy, the God of Night killed

the God of Fire

and became the Supreme God.

The six realms were under his control and he was alone forever.

He was far away from the Grape Fairy

and can't see her again.

And it's also said that

after being used by the God of Night, the Grape Fairy

killed herself.

The God of Fire died for her.

The God of Night ascended the throne.

But the God of Night

can never

accept

another girl besides the Grape Fairy

and he had been alone ever since.

Why must the two persons in love

hurt one another in the end?

You're too young

to be so sentimental.

Kiddo,

let me ask you this.

Why do you keep calling me Mom?

Do we know

each other?

Sister,

do you really forget about me

and Great-uncle?

Great-uncle?

How would I know your Great-uncle?

Is your Great-uncle famous?

Great-uncle is Regent.

Regent?

You're saying the Regent who's blind?

He's your mother's uncle?

It's not right.

Brother told me the other day

that Regent's wife was his niece.

You're the son of his niece.

Doesn't it make you the son of Regent?

The lives of the grandees are too messy.

Gosh.

But,

is he really your dad?

If he's your dad,

why would you call him Great-uncle?

I...

My mom died because of him.

I... I don't want to call him Dad.

Do you really not remember us?

Why would you be in my memory?

Even a kid

like you is aware of the blood feud

of the Xu family in Weiyang?

I dare not forget about it.

I'm screwed.

Song

told me to stay away from Regent.

Now...

Forget it.

Let's watch the show.

Come on.

We're here.

Did you look into it?

Our guards tracked him along the way.

He did come to the theater.

There are many people in Weiyang City against you.

And the theater is quite a mixed bag.

I'm afraid...

Do it fast.

Get Xiao back as soon as possible.

(A Beautiful Landscape)

Sir,

are you here for the show?

(Regent)

Come, hide.

Hurry up.

I didn't know Regent...

Stop.

Customers,

someone has booked the theater today.

Please leave now.

So Pei Yanzhen came to Weiyang

for the divine healer to treat his eyes,

not for Miaomiao.

Young Master,

actually, the divine healer is a monk.

He's on a trip.

So he stays in Weiyang.

I hope Pei Yanzhen won't bring trouble

to Miaomiao during his stay in Weiyang.

Also,

we must take this chance

to get Xiao out.

Come out.

Xiao,

are you going to keep doing this?

(Why?)

(You don't want to meet Great-uncle?)

(We can't let him know.)

(Anyway, he can't see now.)

(Just pretend that I'm not here.)

(Please, I beg of you.)

Xiao,

are you done fooling around?

Great-uncle.

Xiao,

I told you not to wander around.

Why do you ignore what I said?

Xiao,

you're coughing.

Did you catch a cold

as you were out all night?

No.

I just got choked up.

Sit down.

Drink some water.

Who are you?

Why would you abduct my son?

Was it for money

or power?

Xiao, what's going on?

- (Miao.) - (Miaomiao.)

(You're trying to kill me?)

(Miaomiao.)

(Miaomiao.)

(Mother.)

(Miaomiao.)

- (Miaomiao.) - (Miao.)

(Miaomiao.)

(Miao.)

What a hypocrite.

Great-uncle,

she's a good person.

I got lost

when I tried to find Mom.

It was this lady who took me in.

Lady?

Miss, why didn't you say it?

(Because)

(I'm a mute.)

I'm sorry.

Xiao,

have you had lunch?

She is taking me to lunch.

Thank you

for taking care of Xiao.

You'll be rewarded handsomely.

Xiao,

why did you come to the theater?

You made me worry.

Mom liked to watch shows.

(It seems like his wife who died young)

(got the same hobby as mine.)

So what?

Your mom

refused to come back.

It was you who made her do this.

Yes,

it was my fault.

Xiao,

go back with me.

Great-uncle,

I have a request.

What is it?

I... I don't want to go back.

I want to stay at the theatrical troupe

to learn.

No way.

There are many kinds of people in the troupe.

It's a mixed bag.

You shouldn't stay here.

But,

isn't the troupe made

to keep the parentless orphans like me?

Shen Xiao,

do not talk nonsense.

You can say you have no father,

but you can't say you have no mother.

Get up.

(He likes to watch shows.)

(It's to reminisce about his deceased mother.)

(If you stop him,)

(it'll only make him run away from home again.)

You're right, Miss.

I'll agree with it.

You agree, Great-uncle!

I can stay by your side, Sister.

(It's karma.)

Miss, about the show

just now,

what is considered a good ending?

(It's just a myth.)

(The ending can't be decided by the mortals like us.)

(It's just a story.)

Why didn't they write a good ending

for the mortals

as a keepsake?

Why must it be a sad ending?

It'll only make the mortals upset.

(As such,)

(you could've paid)

(the troupe)

(to write a good ending.)

You seem to know a lot about the shows.

Why don't

you come to my residence and teach Xiao?

Fate brings us together.

Consider

this hairpin as the deposit.

Tomorrow noon,

I'll see you at my place.

Xiao,

let's go.

I'll wait for you.

Why does this silver hairpin

look so familiar?

Regent

has obtained the entire world.

Why would he care so much about the folktale?

Sheng,

are you asleep?

Come in.

What were you up to today?

Nothing.

I was...

Just doing the accounts.

I didn't go out.

Why did Master Qin

from the theater say our bird went there?

Did you have anything to do with this?

It's a long story.

Sheng.

I've told you

many times about this.

But you didn't listen.

If Regent finds out about your identity,

your life will be endangered.

As such,

why did you insist on going out?

He's asking you

why you insisted on going out.

Regent is like a monster.

He's a cold-blooded demon.

Stop acting like a child.

But I don't think

he's as bad as you say.

You met him today?

I ran into the Prince.

He's cute

and he likes to watch shows too.

When I saw him,

I felt a sense of familiarity with him.

So I had fun with him for a while.

Then, did he ask you anything?

Why are you so nervous?

Answer me, Sheng.

Nothing.

He's the Regent.

I'm just a commoner.

What can he ask me?

Sheng,

I've got to make a run to the capital these several days.

I'll leave the guards here

to protect you.

But you must promise me

not to interact with Pei Yanzhen

again.

But,

I have a feeling

that he's related to my lost memory.

Xu Sheng,

why are you so eager to remember what you've forgotten?

Besides,

I've told you what you wanted to know.

In the past two years,

how did I accompany you

and treat you?

You don't even trust me?

But he...

Sheng,

when I return,

I'll take you away from Weiyang.

Then, we'll wander around the world

and stay away from these disputes.

Okay?

(Pei's Residence)

The imperial physician said

it was caused by the unremoved poison.

I've sent someone to ask around.

The monk will be back the day after tomorrow.

We'll go for the treatment by then.

Do you want

to stay blind forever?

No rush.

I have something to do tomorrow.

Sit down and have a drink with me.

You don't understand.

Today, I...

I met her today.

But she didn't seem

to remember me.

Shen Miao?

Is she alive?

But you're blind.

Can you recognize her?

I don't have to see her.

From the moment I held her hand,

I knew

it must be her.

Come.

Miss,

you're

Xu Sheng?

What are you going to do?

If it's really Shen Miao,

I'll distract Song Xiyuan.

And we'll take the chance to take her away.

No.

Do nothing.

I don't want her to forget,

but I'm worried she'll remember me.

What I want to do is

to keep her alive.

Here.

Zhang San.

What are you doing?

Young Master asked me

to keep an eye on you.

You're not allowed to leave.

-Do not leave the residence! -Do not leave the residence!

(Gudao Escort Agency)

I don't mean to be rude.

Why are you everywhere?

Here's the answer.

Before Young Master left,

he specifically drew a map.

It indicates every possible way you'll use to escape.

We've memorized every one of them.

Very well.

I got to give it to you.

Pei Yanzhen,

what are you doing?

Are you moving?

It's a sunny day.

I'm

doing laundry.

The respectable Regent is doing laundry?

You don't know this.

A high-ranked official

should not live like a parasite.

This is how one establishes oneself.

You still have a lot to learn.

Pei Yanzhen,

Shen Miao is back.

So are you.

I almost forget

how annoying you were back then.

I wonder who said it was for Xiao's sake yesterday.

Do you have nothing to do?

I think the green coat is better.

The one you just touched.

The one I just touched?

I am pining away for you

without regret.

You short-haired animal,

can you be quiet for a while?

Be quiet.

Be quiet for a while.

Miss Sheng,

it's been so long since you came out.

Is everything alright?

Miss Sheng?

Get out!

Get out!

I'm sorry, Miss Sheng.

I didn't mean to peep at you when you're taking shower.

To me.

To me,

Miss Lvying is the only one I care for.

You have to testify for me by then.

You must believe me, Miss Sheng.

I'm sorry, Miss Sheng.

Get lost!

(Pei's Residence)

Xiao,

let's go back and eat.

Is Mom not coming?

But she promised me.

Never mind.

She'll come

someday.

But she's not even willing to acknowledge me.

Xiao,

your mom is

just sick.

That's why she forgot about the past.

She didn't mean to do this.

But why didn't we get her a physician?

Because it might be better

for her to forget about it.

It made me sad

as Mom forgot about me.

But if she remembers the past,

it'll make her upset,

right?

When your eyes are cured,

let's go back to the capital.

Xiyuan will take care of Mom.

I suppose she'll be fine.

Am I right?

Maybe.

I'll go and eat first.

(Pei's Residence)

Miss.

Lvying.

This way, Miss.

Please enjoy your meal.

(Where is the Prince?)

Xiao is playful.

Don't worry about him.

Let's eat.

Fried cabbage with vinegar.

Try it.

How does it taste?

(It's delicious.)

(It feels)

(like I've eaten it before.)

(Your Highness,)

(do you mind if I ask,)

(have you been)

(to Lingzhou two years ago?)

Thank you, Miss.

But why did you ask this?

(Someone said)

(I've met you before.)

(But)

(you're royalty.)

(It would ring a bell if I saw you before.)

(But now, I can't remember it.)

I think it was a mistake.

Since I became the Regent,

I've never been to Lingzhou.

Even if I did,

I always stayed at my place.

I seldom met others.

You must've been mistaken about it.

Eat up. The dishes are getting cold.

Why didn't you let me tell her?

I haven't seen her for years.

She's lost a lot of weight.

She even lost her memory.

And she's become a mute.

I...

Lvying,

have you thought about this?

The Shen family is long gone.

Old Master Shen and the others are beyond the wall.

There's no news from them.

If Shen Miao remembers everything,

with her personality,

what will she do?

These are

the consequences of your fight for power.

Why does she have to bear all these?

Pei Yanzhen did plot against her.

But it's been two years.

Can't you see

Pei Yanzhen's feelings for Shen Miao?

They've been together for years,

but she still can't see him for who he is.

Let alone a servant like me.

You're loyal to Shen Miao.

You can see that she has a narrow escape.

Do you want her

to live with pain and hatred again?

I have to inform Xiao.

Never mind.

Since I went blind,

I always bumped into something.

If you help me like this,

I won't be able to memorize the landscape.

(I beg to differ.)

(Everyone)

(should be kind to those who need help.)

(Just rest assured and hold my hand.)

What are you looking at?

(You're much different)

(from what I heard about you.)

Well, what have you heard about me?

(You're decisive)

(and brutal.)

(The evilest villain in court.)

(But there are calluses on your palm.)

(I guess it's caused by the perennial sword practice.)

(You're elegant and polite.)

(You're also good at managing the state affairs.)

(You have both brain and brawn.)

(You should be a hero.)

Is this really what you think of me?

(I don't lie.)

To be honest with you,

I thought you were not coming today.

(I was strictly watched by my brother.)

(It was hard for me to come here.)

You're saying...

What is Song Xiyuan to you?

(I'm Pei Yanzhen.)

(Greetings to Miss Shen.)

(As a piece of advice.)

(I'm)

(at that Imperial Palace...)

(If love between both sides can last for aye,)

(why do they need to stay together night and day?)

(I once said I'll make you a pair of shadow puppets every year.)

(It's been four years now.)

You actually want to kill me

with the hairpin I gave you.

I should've killed you earlier.

(Their every attack)

(was fatal.)

Are you that eager to kill me?

(What about you?)

(Have you ever taken pity on my family?)

(You should've known me)

(and got prepared.)

I did.

But then, I forgot,

Miao.

(Miao.)

- (Sister.) - (Miao.)

- (Mother.) - (Miao.)

- (Miao.) - (Sister.)

- (Sister.) - (Miao.)

Stop!

Sister Xu,

do you like my gift for you?

(Mother.)

(Mother.)

- (Mother.) - Xiao.

Miao.

Pei Yanzhen?

Miao.

Pei Yanzhen!

Why can't you just let me go?

Miao!

Miao!

Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

Shen Xiao.

- Who allows you to do this? - Miss.

Mother has always liked to watch puppet shows.

I just want to make her happy.

Zhan Yue.

Get a physician over.

Hurry up!

Noted.

Miao.

Miao.

Your Highness.

Physician,

how is my wife doing?

She was fatally injured back then.

The blood stagnated in the chest.

With Heaven's blessing,

she survived.

But her poor blood circulation

might implicate the memory.

You're right.

But why did she pass out?

If I'm not wrong,

something must've stimulated her.

It has removed the blood stasis.

She's unconscious now.

But it might be a blessing in disguise.

She might be able to regain her memory.

If it's the case,

Mother will be able to recognize me.

Is there a way

to make her forget about the past?

Well...

Great-uncle,

you got Mother injured.

Now, are you trying to keep

me and Mother apart just to cover your sin?

Xiao,

do not talk nonsense.

Let's go.

Let go of me!

- Let go of me! - Be gentle, Zhan Yue.

I want my mother.

Just think of me as a selfish person.

Please go on, Physician.

There's a way.

But due to her esteemed health,

I need to change the prescription.

I know a little about medicine.

Let's go to the study room

and discuss it.

Noted.

Please.

Miss,

it'd be great if you come back.

I miss you so much.

His Highness said

this is for your own good.

Miss,

just forget everything about this.

You're awake, Miss.

Miss.

So you still remember I'm your master.

Miss,

it's not what you think.

His Highness said

if you forget about the past,

it'll put you out

of your misery, and you can live a happy life.

Is Pei Yanzhen doing this for my own good

or is it to exonerate him?

Miss,

I resent His Highness.

But I've observed His Highness for the past two years.

- Maybe there's... - Enough!

I don't want

to hear a word about Pei Yanzhen.

If you take his side,

get out now.

Tell him that I'm awake.

Do whatever

he wants to me.

Miss.

Miss,

I'm Lvying.

Why would I rat you out?

Okay.

If you really care

about our relationship,

you must

help me this time.

Go ahead, Miss.

I want to get Xiao out of here.
