[Gone with the Rain］

[Adapted from Love in the Chaotic World by Ni Luo] [Gone with the Rain］

[Episode 1]

In the first year of Anping reign,

Young Emperor Zhenzong of the Jing State took the throne.

The aftermath of the Rebellion just died down.

The state was in a mess. The court was in chaos, too.

Dukes of different places all cast covetous eyes on the throne.

Throughout the state, people lived a hard life

and all industries languished.

A good thing never stands in the way.

Aunt.

Who are you calling?

You're just the illegitimate daughter of my brother-in-law and a prostitute.

Who are you to call me Aunt?

Call me My Lady.

Yes, My Lady.

Look what a jinx you are.

You just live to waste food.

No one dares to marry you, I assume.

How about this?

Let me marry you to Wang Daguang, the stableman.

Kind of appeasing your dead father.

My Lady, I beg you.

Don't marry me to Wang Daguang.

Marriage is usually arranged by parents with the matchmaker's help.

Your parents died. It'll certainly be arranged by me.

You can't object at all.

Oh, look. You stained my new dress.

I... I'm gonna beat you hard.

My Lady. - Stop running!

- Where do you think you can run? - My Lady, big news.

My Lady!

My Lady, an official asked to see you.

Official? Get him in.

He said... Oh, that's him.

He said he couldn't wait anymore.

Greetings, My Lord.

You...

Moxi.

You've had a hard time.

Who are you?

- What's your relationship? - What's your relationship?

I'm the new Metropolitan Governor assigned by His Majesty.

And Moxi is the woman I will marry.

- What... - Moxi,

how dare they be so rude to you!

Tell me. How would you like to punish them?

I'll do it for you.

Moxi.

Moxi, my... my good niece.

I'm... I'm wrong. I'm sorry, all right?

Don't, don't. I'll do it myself.

I'll slap myself.

[Bai's Mansion]

Mother, look at my robe.

It's wearing out.

Father, buy me a new robe.

You never stop buying new clothes.

Didn't you just buy one?

Son is busy with social intercourse and clothes make the man.

Wait here. Thank you, Mother.

Here.

Mother, I want to buy some books, too. [♪In Chinese, "book" sounds like "lose".]

You don't need to buy that. You lose all the time.

You've never won even once.

A fault confessed is half-foredressed.

Son confessed his fault. How do you have the heart to excoriate him?

Here. Thank you, Mother.

Mother,

I've been reading a lot of books and having a hard time.

No one takes care of me.

I also want to buy a maid.

A maid?

He needs one.

Up. Stand up.

No money is here. When someone takes of him,

- I won't be worried. - No money here...

Here. Thank you, Mother.

What... My silly son.

Fa... Father. Mother.

Time to pay the tuition fee.

Mother, be seated. Another one who wants money.

Learn from your mother. Be seated.

Ignorance is the virtue of women!

Yeah.

Why must a girl learn so much?

What a waste of money!

But, my brother gambles and drinks with prostitutes.

You still give him the money. Why can't I go to school?

A son can carry on the family name.

A girl like you can't compare.

Fengyao! Moxi?

Don't worry about your tuition fee.

Look what I've brought you.

It's...

You're so nice to your cousin.

What... What about our presents?

Have them moved in.

In this family, only Fengyao cares about me.

Think about how badly you treated me

and then think about whether you deserve anything.

We were actually inspiring you.

The more you suffer, the better you can be.

Look at you. You're a better girl, aren't you?

Sounds really great.

You're welcome.

Look.

[Debtor: Bai Pengkun] Check what these are.

What?

These are all the debts Bai Pengkun owed.

I've got them back.

So, now, I'm your biggest creditor.

Oh, wrong.

Here. Fengyao, take them.

From this day on,

teacher your father, your mother, and your brother

how they can get better from more suffering.

You...

Stop crying!

Shut up!

I'm Bai Moxi, a girl who loves to dream.

That was my lifelong dream.

And whether I can realize it, I don't know yet.

But I'm the leading role of this play.

A leading role won't live a terrible life, huh?

Miss, I'm hungry.

Please, Miss.

Here.

Thank you. Thank you.

Do you think I should do that?

Because that's what all leading roles do. Be careful.

But there are too many kind-hearted roles. I don't need to be one.

Besides, I'm going hungry, too.

Why would I give them some money?

Look at you. You have a full body without physical disability.

Why do you not work to raise your daughter?

Why must you beg for a living?

My family used to be rich.

I can't do anything.

You can learn.

Your family property is gone, after all.

Look at me.

I helped Grandpa Liu clean the street.

He gave me one penny.

[Huang's Steamed Cake] I helped Liang sell his steamed cake.

He gave me one penny.

Helped Mrs. Li of the teahouse boil some water. She gave me one penny, too.

Three pennies for this pack of mutton.

Now that I can do this, why can't you?

Begging is never a long-term solution.

You must live on your own.

Thank you.

What are you looking at? None for you.

Go get a job.

See? Even if I also do a good thing, I do it in a different way.

You must be curious about my story.

Come on. Follow me.

Good mutton needs good rice.

Oh, it's you, Miss Moxi.

Your meal is just done.

We must hurry up.

Yeah.

Stop cooking now.

Master and Madam and taking their children to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

All right, all right. You guys, come.

Move the bamboo shoots out. Hurry.

All right.

Go.

Prime Minister's Mansion?

I've never been there before.

I can go and see something more.

[Wu's Mansion] We're the Bai family from Yangliu Street.

We brought some presents, too.

Prime Minister said, you're his old friend and you don't need to bring presents.

Come in, please.

Come and get the presents in.

- Who are you? - I came with them.

Come in, please.

Wentai, we've been family friends

and we should have frequent contact.

Recently, I've been so busy working that I slighted you.

A toast to you as my apology. - Don't say that.

I'm a mere Librarian.

You really flatter me, Prime Minister.

That girl is Fengyao, right?

Oh, indeed. Do you remember her?

Last time we saw her, she was still a baby.

But now, she's so pretty.

The daughter of ordinary people like us can't be as pretty as yours.

Fengyao, come closer and let me see.

Go.

Hurry.

Prime Minister's son is just about 20.

Are they picking a wife for him?

Greetings, Mrs. Wu.

Don't stand on ceremony. Be seated.

Today is actually Mrs. Wu's birthday.

Prime Minister Wu is incorruptible, so he didn't announce it,

but only had this normal dinner.

Miss Bai, now that you're talented,

how about you compose a poem for Mrs. Wu?

What do you say?

So, it's Mrs. Wu's birthday?

We should be punished for being unaware.

But Fengyao is very young and hasn't learned too much.

She might not compose a poem immediately.

Don't be modest, Mrs. Bai.

Fengyao, if you're in the mood, write anything you wish.

Thank you for your favor, Mrs. Wu.

Then please do not laugh at my poem. - See?

Good. - Get her a wiring brush and ink.

Can she make it?

The food here tastes far better!

In comparison, food in Bai's Mansion is horrible.

Look in the mirror and paint the eyebrows.

The moon is up there, shining over the flowers.

With no fear of anything, she writes poetry.

Even if others may not understand.

Mrs. Wu, I heard you were good at painting and calligraphy

before you got married and you could write poetry.

No offense, but I just used this theme

to have composed a poem for you.

I do have little knowledge.

If anything upsets you, please don't blame me.

I like this poem.

Look. Even if others may not understand.

That's indeed what I think.

Somebody.Nice poem. Go get me the new jewelry I just had last month.

Aye.

Jinxi. Jinxi.

Come on.

Why did you leave over the dinner?

I could not bear to watch that humble girl show off.

Just because she composed a poem, she stole the show.

Come on.

You're just way too competitive.

Mother, you know I have feelings for...

Silly girl,

however much Mrs. Wu likes a talented girl,

she won't let Bai Fengyao, a mere Librarian's daughter, to marry her son.

Then why is Mrs. Wu...

A relative of ours works for Prime Minister Wu.

He said, General Beishuo Chen Wende, is having his day and capturing cities

in the name of pacifying the rebels.

Prime Minister Wu worried that he would get more power

and wanted to befriend him through marriage.

But Mrs. Wu has one single daughter.

So, she wants a goddaughter.

Mother, are you saying Mrs. Wu wants Bai Fengyao

to marry Chen Wende instead of her own daughter?

I heard he used to be a bandit and he usually killed people.

Who are you?

Help!

Stay back!

Don't get any closer!

If Bai Fengyao marries him...

Poems?

I'm afraid she can't even live.

Who's there?

Catch the thief! Thief!

Stop!

Stop running!

Stop!

Stop running!

Stop!

There she is! Hurry! Stop!

She's there!

After her! Stop!

She's right ahead! Hurry!

Hurry!

Where's she? Where's she gone?

There. Hurry!

Wait.

Did you see a masked man in black?

No.

Go. This way.

Hurry! Hurry!

You're also being hunted, right?

Do something for me.

Or I would shout now.

Go.

Will you do it or not? I'll really shout.

Go ahead.

Kill me if you dare.

Even with my last breath, I would shout.

Somebo...

Come this way!

It's ruthless of you.

Tell me. What do you want me to do?

You can leap and walk upon walls, right?

I want you to send a letter to the party hall.

Letter?

Do you have paper and a writing brush?

I do.

What are you doing?

Go on.

I'm doing it.

The Wu family wants you to marry Chen Wende instead.

Who are you?

I am the niece of Librarian Bai.

[The Wu family wants you to marry Chen Wende instead]

Don't read it.

Is this your attitude when asking others to help you?

What attitude did you expect?

Me being so grateful that I kneel before you?

I am in a good mood today. I'll forgive your attitude.

When I see you next time,

I will make you pay for this.

These are made by the best craftsmen of the capital city.

It's perfect for a young lady of your age.

So beautiful.

Thank you, Mrs. Wu.

I grow fonder of this girl each time I look at her.

Mrs. Bai, I may be asking too much.

But I wonder if Fengyao can be my goddaughter.

What do you think, Mrs. Bai?

Being favoured by you, Mrs. Wu, she is a lucky girl.

Yao, greet your godmother.

Go on.

Hurry.

What's going on?

[The Wu family wants you to marry Chen Wende instead]

Who dares to make a scene in the Prime Minister's Mansion?

On my orders, search the whole place.

Yes. - So scary.

Come on.

Fengyao. - What's wrong?

Fengyao, what happened?

My chest hurts. I feel dizzy.

I... I think I was frightened by what just happened.

Are you alright?

Our feast today was interrupted by some assassins.

The fun's spoiled.

Let's call it a day.

- Let's get together another time. - Let's go.

Well then. We'll pay our visit another time.

Mother, be careful.

- Come on. - That was so scary.

Fengyao, don't be afraid.

We're going home now.

Oh right. I'm supposed to meet my friends at Juxian Restaurant.

I'll go meet them now.

- It's late. - Father.

Mother, my schoolmate wants to talk about something.

What... Wait.

These two are the same.

So annoying.

Let's go.

I can't believe them.

Mrs. Wu was just about to take you as her goddaughter.

Who knows why those assassins showed up then?

I suppose good stuff don't come easily.

Mother, I don't want Mrs. Wu to be my godmother.

Why is that?

Our two families used to be close, but not anymore.

If I suddenly become Mrs. Wu's goddaughter,

people will take my father as a shameless snob.

How dare you?!

I paid so much for your Lady School.

You didn't learn anything useful.

Instead, you learned to be so hypocritical.

Do you want me to die?

Mother, don't be upset.

My father is an official.

He must look out for his reputation.

If we do this, will think that we're buttering up Prime Minister Wu.

Your father is just a Librarian.

He doesn't need to worry about that.

He is no longer young,

yet he spends his time doing nothing, except chatting with his friends

and studying those paintings.

If it weren't for his ancestors,

he would no longer be an official now.

If Prime Minister Wu can get him a decent job,

I can force him to work harder.

And your big brother. If he wants to get into the Imperial College,

he will need Prime Minister Wu's and Mrs. Wu's help.

But you...You decide to care about reputations now

refusing the good luck delivered to you.

Fengyao, come here.

You don't have a fever.

I guess you really were frightened.

You'll feel better after some rest.

Mother, I'll go back to my room then.

Fengyao,

have a good sleep tonight.

Tomorrow, we'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion again.

Everything must go well tomorrow.

Moxi.

Moxi?

Moxi.

Is she asleep?

Here.

Moxi, the letter written in blood was from you, right?

Can't you recognise my writing? You taught me how to write.

Exactly.

In just a few lines, you wrote three words wrong.

Who else could have done that?

Thanks to those errors, I knew that it was from you.

I must thank you for today.

I happened to hear several old women talking about

Chen Wende being a really bad person.

Of course I can't let you marry someone like that.

So I found a way to inform you.

Thank you, Moxi.

But my mother said that we will go there again tomorrow.

What should I do?

Don't worry. got this.

Doctor Huang, how is my daughter?

Mother. Mother, I'm fine.

Aren't we going to Prime Minister's Mansion today?

Never mind. Look at you.

How can we possibly do that?

Take good care of her.

Yes.

Mrs. Bai, Miss Bai is covered with sweat.

Her pulses are unstable.

Even very weak sometimes.

According to the medicine books,

she is suffering an emotional damage. She is quite weak.

I suppose she got ill because she was frightened earlier.

Then... When will she feel better?

She must rest now.

She can't be frightened again.

And she mustn't go back to the place where she was frightened.

Please remember that.

This is really bad luck.

When... When do you think she'll get better then?

You mustn't rush this.

If she's frightened again, she might forever be ill,

or she could lose control.

Then this is it.

I'll wait till she gets better.

I must send someone to Prime Minister's Mansion to apologise now.

Okay.

Young Lady, this is...

Doctor Huang, you did a great job.

This is from Miss Fengyao.

I don't deserve it.

Miss Bai is somehow burning up.

I don't know why.

Young Lady, you paid me to say those things.

What if anything goes wrong?

Don't worry about that.

To be honest, that is my secret.

I can't tell you about it.

Shouldn't you write a prescription now?

Go on.

Well, I'd like to sleep for a while.

Leave me alone.

Yes.

Moxi, you are finally here.

- This is so warm. - It's cold.

Here.

Moxi, why did you ask me to put these under my arms?

Press these with your arms as hard as you can,

and your pulses will be unstable.

They'll appear to be weak.

Even doctors won't know the reason.

How do you know that?

My mother and other women in the brothel use this method a lot.

When they want to rest, they use this method.

I see.

What you just said can't be known by others, okay?

Don't tell others.

I know.

If other people know that I was born in a brothel

and learned these tricks, they'll look down on me.

Moxi, you...

Fengyao, my perfect cousin.

You're the only one who cares about me.

Everyone else here treats me like I'm a disease.

But I can tell the difference between the good and bad.

They don't like me.

Well, I don't like them either.

You're the only fool who cares about me.

Thus, I will not let you marry a bad person.

Naughty girl, where did you learn to talk like that?

Go get some persimmons from the cabinet over there.

Okay.

So sweet.

You are back.

What did they say?

So?

When Prime Minister Wu and Mrs. Wu heard that Fengyao is sick,

they were really worried.

They also let me take some good medicine back.

They plan to come and check on Fengyao soon.

How do we deserve that?

It seems that Mrs. Wu really likes Fengyao.

Our Fengyao is a lucky girl.

Prime Minister Wu also talked to me about something else.

What?

Can I just keep pretending to be ill?

Just pretend for now.

If necessary, you can pretend to faint.

If once is not enough, then twice.

They want you to be their goddaughter so you can be the bride.

But if you are someone who is so ill that you alway faint,

you'll not exactly be the bride, but the burden.

That official whose name is Chen something wouldn't want that.

Prime Minister Wu wouldn't want to upset him, either.

But if I continue being so ill, my mother will be worried.

Come on. mother may care about you, but she cares more

about the career of her husband and son.

You're not the most important person to her.

Moxi.

One of my colleagues knows someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He heard that Prime Minister Wu wants Fengyao to be his goddaughter

because he wants her to marry General Beishuo, Chen Wende.

A general. That's good.

Could you please hear me out before you make a comment?

What? Tell me then.

Chen Wende used to be a bandit

who is famous for being violent.

If we let Fengyao marry him and he decides to plot treason

one day, Fengyao will have a really tragic life.

So he is a rebel.

What vicious people are they?

They love their daughter,

so they want our Fengyao to suffer instead.

As the old saying goes,

things without a price normally cost more.

These words are so wise.

Okay, enough. Stop talking about old sayings.

There's no time for those sayings.

They sent us so much precious medicine.

They must have determined to have our Fengyao marry that general.

Maybe I should reject them.

But then we can forget about your promotion.

You might even lose your current job as well.

I don't worry about you.

My whole life, I never depended on you for anything.

But what about Kun's career?

With your rank, you won't be able to get him into the Imperial College.

Prime Minister Wu has agreed to help him.

What to do now?

My God. It's my fault.

Who would help our child?

It's my fault.

Fengyao, I must warn you.

I know you care about your mother.

But if Prime Minister Wu really promises her something,

she won't be reliable.

Nonsense. That's nonsense.

- You always talk nonsense. - Young Lady.

The lady is here to see you.

Mother.

No, no. Lie down.

Don't get up.

Mother, why are you here?

Get better soon.

When you get better...

When you get better,

we will go to Prime Minister's Mansion together.

Mrs. Wu still wants you to be her goddaughter.

Mother, what do you mean?

I will miss you, my daughter.

I got you some Chicken Ginseng Soup.

You... You can drink some later.

Fengyao, you are old enough to get married.

So don't just think about those fancy poems and lyrics.

Try to read Commandments for Women and Lessons for Women.

Learn to be gentle and agreeable.

Mrs. Wu and I are preparing for your marriage.

Mother, who do you want me to marry?

Are you selling me to the Wu family?

What... What are you talking about?

Your marriage is a decision to be made by me and your father.

You shouldn't ask about it like this.

Have some soup while it's warm.

Moxi.

Go on.

Chen Wende sent me here to spy on you about a month ago.

I was supposed to watch you closely.

Who was the person who sneaked into my mansion?

It was him. Chen Wende.

Hurry.

Wait for me.

My Lord.

Come on, give me a hand. Be careful.

Okay.

My Lord, I finally found you. Something went wrong.

Don't panic.

Chen Wende stole the letters from me to the Provincial Governors.

My Lord, I did it by your orders.

I tried to befriend him through marriage.

But unexpectedly, he caught a general of the enemy,

and found the evidence of me being in touch with them.

My Lord, and then, he sent a spy to my mansion.

I'm afraid he'll impeach me in front of the emperor.

And now he has come to the capital with an army.

What do you think we should do now?

My Lord, enlighten me.

This world belongs to those who deserve it.

He doesn't want to be our friend.

That makes him our enemy.

He came back without the permission.

That's a good chance.

Have someone to deliver my order.

Let all the soldiers in the city know

that Chen Wende plotted treason.

We will not let him leave this time.

Brilliant.

My Lord.

You are one of the royal family.

Why do you do this?

Those the people love win.

I see.

Stop panicking.

It is not settled yet.

Why do you act like you're already doomed?

But you heard my mother.

So what?

As long as you haven't become his bride,

you are not his bride.

What can I do?

Fengyao, let's escape.

Take a look.

Fresh mutton.

Delicious mutton.

Sir, take a look.

Fresh mutton. Come and buy some.

Little one, here you go.

Take a look at the mutton.

Here. Here.

Very delicious mutton. Come on.

The money goes here.

Here you are. Fresh mutton.

Here you are. Please come inside.

Money goes here.

Give me some. - Alright.

Look. We can climb up this wall and get out.

The street is about two blocks away.

There are so many people.

No one will recognise us.

As long as we blend in, no one will find us.

Don't worry. - I know the place very well... - Moxi,

I can't just leave my family behind.

They are planning to sell you. Why are you still protecting them?

They are just intimidated by Prime Minister Wu.

Nonsense.

So many officials were born in the Bai family.

It may have lost some glory, but you still have many relatives.

That Prime Minister may be powerful,

but he can't just kill your mother and father.

They are doing this for the wealth and power.

You...How can I make you understand?

What's that sound?

What is happening?

My God. War.

Duke Mingde and Wu Lang

tried to accuse Chen Wende of rebellion.

However, they were defeated by Chen Wende's army.

[Chen] To stop Chen Wende from talking to the emperor

and disclosing their crimes,

they fled the capital city and took the emperor and all senior officials with them.

Just like that, Chen Wende who is loyal and innocent

became a traitor who conspires against the country.
