Ye Xi,

have I ever told you this?

In my entire lifetime, I believe what I did most right

was waiting by the unmarked burial mounds

so that you could see me as soon as you woke up.

In this lifetime,

I haven't wasted even a minute or a second of time to be with you.

As such, I have no regrets.

To be with you at this moment,

to know and be committed to each other like this,

I never would have dared to dream of such.

But the curse cannot be lifted.

I, Bai Yue,

to have a good woman as you

who doesn't leave or abandon me,

follow each other in life and in death,

I'm content for this lifetime.

So, don't feel pity for me.

Sleep well.

Forget me when you wake up

Become the simple and happy you again.

Live well.

But you absolutely must remember

not to give your heart easily,

because in this world,

the one you love the most should be yourself.

Understand?

What did you make me eat?

I'm sorry.

I lied to you.

Medicine to restore memories don't exist.

Only medicine to forget the past exists.

Ye Xi.

I want you to forget me.

You've never experienced the agony of losing a loved one.

The feeling of watching

as your lover lies before you,

too afraid to check her breath or pulse.

I can't bear to let you

experience such misery and heartache.

Do you think this is a form of kindness?

You're only satisfying your own desires.

I told you, I don't need you make decisions for me.

Forgive me...

for defying your wishes...

one last time.

Back then,

you told me about that lullaby.

I mastered it.

I'll play it for you.

You'll fall asleep while listening to it.

No, I won't.

I won't listen to it!

There's one more tune,

but I'm exhausted.

I'm sorry.

At the very end,

I failed to show you a proper marriage ceremony.

Ye Xi.

I really...

wanted to grow old with you.

If you're alone in this world,

I'll be worried sick.

That's because I...

I'm scared...

no one would love you as much as I do.

Back then, I saved you.

This time, he saved you.

So, your life doesn't just belong to you.

You shouldn't forsake these friendships. Stop your foolish deeds.

Live a good life.

Live for yourself,

and live for the common folk.

You are in my heart, but you don't know.

Your heart was filled with so many grievances.

Even at the brink of death, you refused to utter a word.

That was why you were plagued by resentment

and turned into a curse.

So many people in the world

miss a chance at love in this manner.

If you like someone,

you should say it out loud.

Bai Yue,

you're my husband.

Don't even think about ditching me.

Even though we didn't have enough time together,

but laying by your side like this

is enough for me to die without regrets.

Don't hate me for biting you.

It took me great effort to recall my memories,

but you tried to steal them away.

I don't want to forget you.

If I really did,

this mark

will lead me to you.

In life and in death,

we shall never part.

We will never be separated again.

Ye Xi!

Ye Xi!

Come out!

- It's open! It's open! - It's open!

- Come on! - Let's go!

Hurry up!

A dead man must have a corpse.

If there aren't any corpses, that means they're alive.

They must be alive, just missing.

Don't stare at me.

Only the valley master is aware of the secret passageways in the valley.

Hold on.

There may even be passageways the valley master is unaware of.

Here's what I think.

They're bound to be in Changliu Mountain.

What are you waiting for? Search the mountain!

Your prince's life is on the line!

It's time for you to show your loyalty to him!

- Black Armored Guards, come with me! - Yes!

I'll go with them, but you can stay. It's too dark out there.

What's scary about nightfall? Finding them is top priority.

Okay, let's split up and search.

Come on.

Who am I?

Why am I here?

Why aren't either of them breathing?

What a pity.

Such charming looks are rare gems!

This one is like an immortal untainted by the world.

The other is like a demon ready to bewitch the soul.

But why did two grown men

die in this place at the same time?

Based on storybooks...

Did you two lose your lives fighting over a ravishing beauty?

Such handsome faces! Alas, what a pity!

Though, why do they seem so familiar?

Was I that beauty?

No, that can't be true.

I can't possibly be so uncaring about such darlings.

Well, meeting them is fate.

Should I do a good deed and bury both of you?

Hold on.

What if people mistake me for the murderer?

Sorry! I'm really sorry!

Dear handsome boys, death is the end anyway.

Nothing matters now, right?

I'll get going!

Ye Xi.

Ye Xi!

I'm still alive,

and my heart isn't aching.

Turns out the way to lift the curse

is to be buried together with one's beloved in the coffin.

Only when both lovers are willing to die for each other,

can they transcend life and death.

Why are you the one here?

Get up.

Why are we here?

Where is Ye Xi?

Ye Xi!

Where are you, Ye Xi?

Where is Ye Xi?

I remember the two of you lied down in the jade coffin together, and the coffin closed.

I couldn't push it to open at all.

And then the jade coffin exploded, and I passed out.

Why are we here? Where is she? What happened to her?

Calm down.

Why are you howling like this?

She must have left because she believed we were dead.

Why?

Why did she leave?

Because she lost her memory.

I made her lose her memory.

I thought I was definitely dying,

so I made her lose her memory.

I thought it would be good for her.

But I ultimately made the same mistake as you did.

Perhaps the intentions are good,

but we may end up making mistakes.

That's why the punishment will come fast.

We can't find her now.

How did this happen?

She should still be in Changliu Mountain, right?

Isn't this her home?

Yes.

But she doesn't have any family.

There are very few people here.

She wouldn't stay here for long.

The world is big,

but I don't know where she'll feel at peace.

Then... what do we do?

Do you really don't know how to find her again?

The world is big. How am I going to find her by myself?

By telepathy?

If so,

it's more reliable to let your Black Armored Guards to search.

Of course I'll dispatch the Black Armored Guards to search.

But, are you serious in what you said?

You've been lying to me all this time.

I really don't know if I can believe you anymore.

Without my life-saving pill, you would have already died in the tomb.

Why would I have waited for you to wake up to fight me?

How is your wound?

It didn't pierce a vital organ.

Otherwise, no one would be around to save you now.

Your internal injury is quite severe, so you need to rest quietly.

Previously, I painstakingly nurtured your health.

But you don't seem to pay attention to your life.

What a waste of my kindness!

It doesn't matter if you save me.

Without her,

it's meaningless for me to live.

Your stubborness

has caused all three of us to die once already.

Can you not let go?

I didn't know this would happen.

I became stronger in order to protect her.

Why doesn't she need me?

Why can't she give me a little of her heart?

Just a bit would be enough.

That's how pure she is.

Love and hate are distinctly different to her.

But you should know that she trusts you and wishes you well.

That's how you think of yourself.

Without you,

there would be chaos in the country and in the martial arts world.

She wouldn't be freely wandering everywhere.

Therefore, even for her only,

you should take care of your body and recuperate well.

Let's do this.

I'll give you one last chance.

If the Black Armored Guards find her first,

I'll voluntarily withdraw to fulfill you two.

But if I find her first,

you will give up

and go back to be a good prince regent,

take care of your health, and safeguard the country.

All of us will rely on you in the future.

Fine.

- You can't renege. - You're the one who mustn't renege.

Let's go, then. I'll help you.

Thanks.

If you want to express thanks,

just send over more pearls.

Xiao Hua,

look at this. I told you there should be some.

Such a long ginseng!

It must be worth 1,000 taels of silver?

So large!

We won't have to worry about our living anymore. We're rich! No more worries!

No, no.

This isn't ginseng. It's called Yuanzhi. (Thinleaf Milkwort Root-bark)

It is also called Fine Grass.

It can enhance your brain and strengthen your will. That's why it's called Yuanzhi.

How would you know?

Hold it. Miss,

has anyone told you that you look like Demoness Ye Xi?

Demoness Ye Xi?

Don't talk nonsense. What demoness?

Print Regent has said there's no demoness.

No. There were wanted posters everywhere in the citiy,

and a bunch of people were searching for her.

Is that right? Why are they looking for me?

As I see it, it's never good when the authorities are looking for you.

They may want to capture you into the palace

to be a concubine.

Miss, you'd better run farther away.

Yes, yes, thank you.

Oh yes, do you know how to go to the western region?

Western region?

- This way! - That way!

No, it's this way.

Go westward. Go over this mountain,

- and keep heading west. - That's right.

- It's far. Quite far.

- It is. - Xiao Hua is right.

Alright then. I'll go ahead and leave then.

Miss, let me ask you. Do you know where there is ginseng?

There hasn't been ginseng in Changliu Mountain for a long time.

I advise you to dig for other herbs.

I'm leaving now.

Best of luck to you.

Wang Daniu, it's your fault.

You said there's ginseng here, but look at what you dug up!

Aren't you worried? Black Armored Guards are searching everywhere. [Tea]

It looks like

you know where Ye Xi is.

The western region.

- You really know? - I guessed.

It's because I recall she mentioned the western region before.

But didn't you say she's lost her memory?

Even if you talked about it, but she would have forgotten it.

I believe

there is spiritual consonance connecting our hearts.

Young Master Bai,

it's far to go to the western region. Can your body handle it?

Also, your heart exhaustion ailment

came so strange suddenly, and it also recovered strangely.

Valley Master, you are really something.

Why didn't you tell us sooner?

I've recovered already. No more worries.

What's so strange about it? Ye Xi must have cured it.

What heart exhaustion? It's just lovesickness.

As the saying goes,

the heart's ailment needs the right cure. She is your heart medicine.

As long as you two can be together for life,

everything will work out.

You are right.

She gave me the hope to live.

Without her by my side, even my heartbeats aren't steady.

I will find her as soon as I can.

This is the first time I see you talk about love with such deep feelings.

I'll get a pen to write it all down

and show Miss Ye when she returns.

Are you certain that you'll bring her back?

I actually have an idea.

You can use internal force to force blood out of your mouth.

And then pretend you are unconscious.

Ye Xi will be softhearted and help you recuperate, you'll take the chance to cling to her.

Eldest Miss Lin's idea is great.

It's written in all the storybooks. Go ahead and try.

You don't need the hassle of the Self Injury Strategem.

I'll teach you a tactic. Use the Male Beauty Strategem.

Pretty yourself up.

And sweet talk those words of love like just now.

Of course you should project a gentle demeanor.

It's best to add

the kind of gaze and voice that can make an iron tree bloom

and force tears out of a rock.

Trust me. She'll be enchanted by you.

Do I need to pretty myself up?

What...

At least change your clothes.

You're always dressed in white.

So boring.

If you really want her to fall for you for a millennium with one look,

just try my method.

All right.

I won't bother you anymore. I know what I'll do.

She and I have a token of love. I'm sure I will find her.

That will be wonderful.

I'll be waiting for you to attend our wedding next month.

Wh-What wedding? Why don't I know anything about it?

I haven't even met your father.

It's my birthday next month. Let's just have the wedding too.

- I... - Don't worry.

Your Male Beauty Strategem already trapped me.

My father has to approve even if he doesn't want to.

All right. In that case,

I hereby give you my best wishes for your marital bliss.

We'll meet again at Flowering Water Manor.

Uncle Hui,

take good care of Cang Qi when you go back.

Make sure to let him take my prescription regularly.

- Valley Master, rest assured. - I'm leaving now.

Everyone, farewell.

Young Master Bai.

be sure to take good care of yourself during your travels.

Why don't you give me a token of love?

I can make it up on the token of love.

But we must have a strict agreement.

First of all,

you must not hug other people under broad daylight.

Secondly,

don't be lovey-dovey in the carriage.

Thirdly,

without my permision, you can't knead my face or pinch my ears again.

I have to knead your face.

- I just love kneading your face. - You two,

I'll bid you farewell now.

Farewell, Uncle Hui.

Travel safe, Uncle Hui.

- Let's go. - I'm not going.

If you don't go, I'll have to knead your face again.

- I'm not going. - Hurry up.

Hurry and go.

Once more!

Here, Miss. Try it.

Sure.

Miss, look at this. Pretty things.

Choose one.

(music)

Miss, do you also like this dance?

Good!

Do you know its origin?

I don't.

It's the Sogdian Whirl Dance.

The dancers turns fast like the wind, that's why it's called whirl dance.

A poem describes it this way.

Her sleeves raised to the sound of drum music,

fluttering like snowflakes in the air as she turns and dances. (poem by Tang-dynasty poet, Bai Juyi)

When I heard this poem before,

I could only imagine it.

Now that I'm here,

I can finally witness how exquisite this dance is.

It proves that

reading ten thousand books cannot compare to traveling ten thouosand miles.

Young Master, you are so knowledgeable.

She is not watching the dance. She is watching the men.

After all, it's rare to see men who can dance.

I'll ask you a question then.

Look at that man.

Too short, not as tall as I am.

The other one is too tanned, not as fair as I am.

The last one is too ugly, not as handsome as I am.

So which one do you like?

I...

- I'll take my leave then. - Goodbye.

Your Master, don't leave! I haven't finished talking.

You like him?

How is he better than I am?

His accent sounds like it's from Jiangnan.

They say the river and soil there nurture people.

No wonder he is handsome like a jade tree.

He even speaks in a gentle and mild manner, and he is well learned in poetry and books.

He can travel far, it means he is healthy.

He can appreciate music and dance, it meeans he has a refined taste.

The more I think, he is simply too perfect.

You think he is handsome and educated?

Let me tell you the truth. The more handsome a man is, the better he is at deception.

Aren't you the best liar than?

My beauty doesn't require compliments.

How can those ordinary and mediocre men compare to me?

It turns out that you are the most shameless man.

I remember now.

You are that dead man!

I didn't recognize you when you're dressed like this.

Where's your friend who was also lying on the ground?

I'm standing in front of you.

Why are you asking about another man?

So you two didn't die.

Luckily I was unkind and didn't bury you.

After all, a mortal man cannot be grown back alive.

You must be looking for that other man, right?

I'm looking for you.

You can't remember me because you lost your memory.

But I am actually your husand.

You've also said,

you will only have eyes for me.

Even if someone else is better by 1,000 or 10,000 times than I am,

you wouldn't take another look at them.

I have lost my memory, but I'm not stupid.

I have lost my memory, but I'm not stupid.

I am very sure that I've never spent a wedding night with anyone.

I've never been married. How did I get a husband?

Besides, Young Master, I can't help but say this.

When you walk around on the streets dressing all in red, it's simply too glaring.

I really don't think

I would have liked a man dressed in red before I lost my memory.

Young Master,

if you really believe

that you are totally dazzling and stunning,

just enjoy watching yourself. I can't match up to you.

Wow!

I can't get angry.

I must be patient.

You are not stupid. I'm the stupid one.

I shouldn't have listened to that dummy Chu Yao.

Who is thinking of me?

It must be him.

I wonder if he has arrived in the western region.

I know that you two are good buddies, but you still don't need to keep nagging about it.

I'm just curious.

I wonder if he is using my idea yet.

I think he will use my idea.

Why don't we wager and see whose idea works.

When Ye Xi gets back, we'll find out.

- Here, here. - Thanks.

- Come, let's raise our cups. - Come.

Let's all have a drink.

Please eat.

Come, come.

It smells wonderful.

Come, come. Let's have another drink.

Come.

This liquor is good.

Hey, beautiful girl.

Are you calling me?

At this beautiful moonlit riverside,

do you want to have a drink with us?

Let me ask you a question first.

Those lights are really pretty. Did you make them?

Those are melon anterns from the central plains.

Just now, a young master bought a cartful of melons from us.

He must have made them.

Come.

Let's have another drink.

Wait.

Did you make all of these?
