Young Master,

wait in the car for a while.

I'll go find Xiang.

Okay.

(Combat organized crimes, clean up Society. Build Harmony, create Peace!)

- He's so handsome. - He's so handsome.

Look, look at him.

He's coming. He's coming.

Hi, ladies.

I'm here to see Xiang.

Okay.

- Hello. - I'll take you to him.

You told me just now that

William singlehandedly rescued Qian Tu

and found out that the ringleader was Ye Lai.

Are you sure it was him?

Though it doesn't sound credible,

it is the fact.

Dao Xiuxiu has a good eye

for successors.

Hope he finds a good guide,

or else we'd be lost

before we reach the village.

Let me tell you,

I tried to find the Snow Mountain Village

based on my memories.

But I couldn't find anything.

This time, with Lin Nuoyan's lab

as the new clue,

I have a feeling that

I can find it.

Come.

Xiang,

they're over there.

Let's go.

Okay.

Hi.

Hi.

Young Master,

let me introduce him.

This is Xiang.

Xiang?

Hi, Boss!

A well-deserved name. [*Xiang in Chinese means loud.]

We will be depending on you,

Xiang.

Young Master.

Grandmother sent these bodyguards.

Nice to see you, Young Master!

Young Master,

let's move.

Okay.

Xiang,

how about you driving?

Sure.

Mother.

Ah.

What's up?

The bodyguards told me that

they have gone into the mountains.

Okay.

Oh, right.

How's Jiang Baiju's ID card coming along?

The information required has been

sent to them.

When they come back,

I should be able to have it.

Hope this time,

he can pass.

Mother,

why do you

seem unhappy?

I'm not just unhappy.

I'm crossed.

I've known him for many years,

but I've never seen him be so nosy.

He's now a regular man.

He shouldn't be involved in stuff like this.

I can't believe he...

I can't believe he went into the mountains.

Although I worked for him for twenty years,

I always felt like

there was a barrier between us.

It wasn't until the incident that has happened recently

did I get to know him better.

People say,

you come back

a young man after spending half your lifetime outside.

It describes him perfectly.

After 80 years of vicissitudes,

he's still

a young man of integrity.

Young Master's life

has been arduous

and unpredictable,

but at least he has someone beside him.

In this aspect,

I envy him very much.

I wish I could have a girlfriend

like Jin Xiaoyu.

Whatever you do,

she'd support you,

understand you, and be with you

instead of nagging about

all the dangers

all the time.

What's that look in your eyes?

Get out!

Okay.

Get lost!

Okay.

Careful.

This place has got loads of twigs and rocks.

Take it easy, guys.

Watch your step.

I suppose

you're a local.

Lin Nuoyan is from the village.

So am I.

The thought of it

gives me mixed feelings.

Fortunately, you two are not together,

or you two would find out you are actually

brother and sister like what happens in a drama.

Shut up!

You're so talkative.

Jiang Baiju,

let me have a look!

It's fine.

Let's keep moving.

Yeah.

Come on.

Shenlong Snow Mountain is the main peak of the Zhaoyao Mountains.

The place you marked

is behind that mountain.

Okay.

How are things over there?

Boss,

I'll be honest with you.

The place we're heading to

is called Phantom Decapitation.

There's a valley over there

that has the shape of a human,

but it looks headless.

The name

sounds ominous

and the paths are difficult to walk in.

Even the boldest travelers

wouldn't dare try it.

And the valley has had frequent earthquakes in recent years,

so there are

many precarious rocks.

Landslides happen once it rains.

Rockfalls are also fairly common.

So no one goes there then?

No one would dare.

It's too dangerous.

Think about it.

Even though the tourist attraction we came from just now

has been fully developed,

no one dares go to that place.

In recent years,

the government carried out several geological examinations of the mountains.

But because of the rockfalls,

they had no choice but to give up.

Do you have another solution?

Boss.

Luckily, you hired me.

I know a footpath

that goes through the forest,

so we can bypass the valley.

Look.

The village is still there.

That's impossible.

It was ruined by the avalanche.

Let's go and have a look.

Okay.

The houses can be a good cover.

Let's go.

Careful.

What an eerie place!

Something's in them.

What is it?

It's a forest grave.

These are ghost cocoons.

Ghost cocoons?

It's an ancient burial culture

of a special nomadic tribe in our country.

Look.

They shrouded the body with a white cloth,

tied it to a tree, and left it to decompose.

They thought this would allow

the souls of the dead

to run freely in the forest.

Run freely in the forest?

Can you calm down?

Burial culture is also a culture.

I'm uncultured, though.

Xiang,

let's get out of here now.

Wait a minute.

It's okay. It's okay.

Don't be afraid.

This person seems quite young.

Probably

in their thirties.

I don't think this person was from ancient times,

but from modern times.

How do you know that?

The teeth.

In the past, people had poor dental products.

They couldn't brush teeth,

so their teeth were in bad conditions.

But modern people brush teeth twice a day

and eat refined food.

A 30-year-old person in ancient times

would generally be a middle-aged person

with poor dental health.

Does anyone even live here?

Alright.

Let's venture deeper.

Okay.

Let us

go this way.

Okay.

Let's go.

What the heck is this place?

How is it?

No one's in the village.

Not a single person?

Nope.

The forest is full of skeletons.

Did everyone from the village die?

The houses were built afterwards.

Look,

the edges of the foundation are particularly even,

I can immediately tell it was the work of machines.

These rocks are old.

I think the ones who discovered the village

moved them here.

So

they discovered and moved

the entire village?

And I explicitly remember

that the person who sent me off told me

that my descent

would bring disasters.

Disasters?

Be calm!

Dead people are the safest!

I'll have you know,

the living is more dangerous than the dead.

I don't care!

I'll stick with you today.

I...

It is a strange village though.

It appears normal on the outside,

but there are no household goods inside.

Not just that,

there's no furniture, either.

No table or chair.

Nothing.

This place is for show.

It doesn't look like someone lives here.

Oh, no.

This is a ghost village.

It's better that no one lives here.

Let's find two empty rooms for the night,

then we'll move out tomorrow,

okay?

Okay.

Hat Guy,

let's go there.

You two, search that place.

Stop following me.

I have to.

I'm a bit scared.

You're nearly glued on me.

I insist.

Oh, my.

What the heck is this place?

Ugh!

Let me take a look.

There's no water in the well.

Be careful.

The village is unpopulated,

so it's natural that there's no water.

This village

is a bit different from the one I saw before.

There has to be differences after reconstruction.

The differences are glaring.

It looks nothing like what it used to be.

I guess the ones who reconstructed the village

didn't see what it looked like originally.

Of course,

Young Master.

You're the only living person

who saw the original village.

I don't get it.

You're already in between us.

Why do you have to hug me?

I'm afraid to sleep on my own.

It feels safer hugging you.

Xiang is available, too.

Why don't you go hugging him?

He's out there on guard duty.

Also,

it feels strange

to hug him.

And it's not strange that you hug me?

Xiaoyu is even beside us.

No.

Don't you think

it's particularly thrilling

that I am hugging you

with your girlfriend beside us?

Xiang...

William.

Xiang...

Xiang...

Xiang...

Xiang, wake up.

Xiang.

Xiang, wake up.

Li. Li.

- Li. - Wake up.

Wake up.

You're awake, Xiang.

How do you feel?

I need some water.

William,

m-m-my throat.

Water.

I can talk now.

Are you okay?

We're both fine.

But my boss' girlfriend went missing.

Jin Xiaoyu!

Jin Xiaoyu!

- Jin Xiaoyu! - Boss,

I don't think she's here.

- Jin Xiaoyu! - Jin Xiaoyu!

Stop shouting.

I don't think she went missing.

Lin Nuoyan must have taken her.

This guy really is a trouble-maker.

You should consider yourself lucky.

He only took Xiaoyu away.

He didn't kill you.

That's true.

Where is this fragrance coming from?

It smells so good.

The flower field should be close by.

It smells so good.

Let's keep moving.

Let's go.

Xiaoyu.

I knew

that you'd come find me.

Don't flatter yourself.

You kidnapped me.

Where is Jiang Baiju?

What did you do to them?

I'm a medical researcher,

not a serial killer.

I won't do anything to them

if they don't come.

What if they do?

I'll have to break his legs.

Let's change the topic.

Show me your garden.

So that was only a small meteorite,

right?

Yes.

I can't let anyone get close to it.

But you guys impressed me.

You journeyed through the mountains overnight to get here.

Stay, Jin Xiaoyu.

Stay here

in replacement of Ye Lai,

so that I'd become your experimental subject?

No.

You're not the experimental subject,

but my partner.

Only I can cure you.

Look at this place.

This is our homeland.

Our people

once lived here.

They didn't get out of the valley for centuries.

They didn't know

that the Han, Wei, or Jin dynasty existed.

This really is an utopia.

You were the one who rebuilt the village?

Yes.

According to the old address passed down within our clan,

I found the place.

Though I reconstructed the village,

it's only a shell

and a form of solace.

So

you created the forest grave, too?

Yes.

When the relic was excavated,

there were many skeletons.

I laid them to rest in the forest

near the new village

according to the clan's customs.

And the bodies of those clansmen who went outside,

I got them back as well.

Our clansmen

were born, raised, and buried here

for generations.

If it weren't for that intruder,

you and I would still be neighbors.

We are the real childhood friends,

Xiaoyu.

Forget it.

I don't think this life suits me.

It's stupid and boring.

I'll pass.

Are you still mad at me?

Bella was only twelve years old.

Mrs. Xu was sixty years old.

Tan Yueran suffered from a heart disease.

I can't believe you could've done that to them.

I didn't offer the drug to Bella and Mrs. Xu.

It was Ye Lai.

She is lunatic.

And I can't control her.

I can't even tell

if she was born that way

or was it the side effect of the special drug.

Xiaoyu,

I never held anything back from you.

I told you from the beginning

that medicine is great.

The capable ones

can alter the law of nature.

But everything needs to be built

upon the sacrifice of certain people.

Why don't you sacrifice yourself, then?

If you think it's so great,

why don't you sacrifice yourself?

Any sacrifice should be based on voluntariness.

If I volunteer, that's sacrifice.

If I don't, that's murder!

Lin Nuoyan.

Everything you say sounds good,

but everything you do is repulsive.

Has anyone told you, Jin Xiaoyu?

Your thoughts

are sometimes quite annoying.

How does Jiang Baiju put up with you?

Because he never did anything guilty.

Fine.

If this is the case,

and if you despise me so much,

why did you come find me?

Do you honestly think that I'd turn myself in to the police?

Do you think

I could be that naive?

You're quite naive, to be honest.

Am I?

Didn't frisk me?

Big mistake!

Jin Xiaoyu!

Be careful, guys.

Stay together.

Boss,

someone's here.

Get your weapons ready.

It's you.

What are you doing here?

Because I'm everywhere.

What the heck is this thing?

I told Lin Nuoyan we shouldn't keep you alive.

But he kept saying you were his kin,

a precious family of his.

But how

can you treat him like this?

I never wanted to.

Our ancestral stone

is supposed to be worshipped.

Not for harming people.

If I allowed you to continue with your illegal acts,

I would not be able to face my ancestors.

Sophistry.

Don't come any closer.

Aren't you supposed to be a doctor?

The way you hold that thing makes you look like a serial killer.

I'll have you know,

if you take one more step,

you'll be in trouble!

Don't come any closer.

I'm telling you,

if you

come over...

I don't want to be covered in blood.

I don't want to be covered in blood!

I told you I don't want to be covered in blood.

What are you doing here?

We have no time.

No more dumb questions.

My brother and I came to rescue you.

Your Brother?

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Are you okay, Boss?

Boss?

Where is she?

They went that way.

Chase after them.

No.

I can't run anymore.

Let's find a spot to rest

and hide.

No.

I damaged their water pump.

It'll explode soon.

Once it explodes,

the reservoir will be filled.

What are you talking about?

And then what?

And then...

It's hollow underneath,

so the ground will collapse.

What?

Qian Cheng,

you're really a genius, aren't you?

We'll be dead

if it collapses!

I wanted to run away after I destroyed the place,

but I didn't know that you'd get kidnapped!

My time was wasted on rescuing you.

It's your fault!

It's my fault for being kidnapped?

Or what?

I knew someone like you

wouldn't have a backup lover!

Lin Nuoyan is the bad guy!

I knew someone like you

wouldn't have a first-love.

Ye Lai is the worst of the worst ever!

Xiaoyu!

Xiaoyu!

Cheng, what are you doing here?

No more talking!

Let's run! The mountain is going to collapse!

What have you done?

This guy damaged the water pump!

This place is going to collapse!

We'll all die soon!

You damaged the water pump?

Careful!

Mr. Zhao!

Be careful.

Jiang Baiju.

Don't move, you two.

Instead of recuperating at home, why did you come here?,

You're already dying, so why did you come here?

Stop fighting!

Young Master,

I should've died ten years ago.

If it weren't for you,

I wouldn't have lived for so long.

I am already very thankful.

Stop talking nonsense.

I won't let go of you.

You're a man. Don't be sentimental.

Jiang Baiju.

I won't let go of you, either.

Jiang Baiju, listen to me.

I don't have much time left.

Even if I'm lucky enough to survive this,

I don't know what the future holds.

I told you,

don't measure the value of life

with the time you have left.

I said, any sacrifice is based on voluntariness.

Xiaoyu, don't let go!

I don't need you to save me.

Cheng!

Qian Cheng!

Cheng, catch it.

I'll pull you up.

Careful.

Careful.

Careful.

Watch it.

Be careful. Be careful.

Pull. Pull.

Take it easy.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Your brothers always come to your rescue

at critical moments.

I'll pull Young Master up.

My home.

It's gone.

I lost everything.

Jiang Baiju.

What I can't get,

you won't get, either.

I never wanted anything,

otherwise, I wouldn't become a designer.

I obtained fortune, honor,

and power.

But I wanted none of them.

I want to trade everything I had

for a regular ID card.

Before I die,

I can watch a movie

with the one I love.

Get it?

But she doesn't have much time left.

But she's got her family, friends,

and us to love her.

The value of life

is never measured by length, wealth

or appearance.

This is something you might never understand.

(Dongqian Lake Water Park)

(Police)

When everything's settled,

will we cherish everything we have

and the people we love?

Faced with passionate love,

we should empower it with the most glamorous life

and add a ray of sunlight to it.

That is hope.

Yes.

Being alive

means hope.

All indicators are good.

Let's go.

Doctor,

how is she doing?

She's doing fine.

Okay.

Happiness and pain

are both parts of life.

The desire for them

(For your family's joy) ends up as the last straw

(Let change start from now) that destroys your will.

Lin Nuoyan's obsession and madness

landed him in jail for life.

Losing something is a process.

The sad part is that you can't start over again.

The good part is,

it won't start over again.

I'll show you my new ID card.

What do you think?

Congrats.

Though you blew up the lab,

the police found the shards of the meteorite

and your research report

when they excavated

and cleaned up the place.

Your mentor President Zhang

formed a research group

to recover your research.

They said your research was valuable.

They said my research

was valuable?

Very valuable.

Why did you come to see me?

President Zhang asked me to come here.

Do you think I wanted to see you?

You broke his heart,

but still, you're the son of his old friend.

He raised you up and still cares about you.

That's why he asked me to deliver something to you

and to see how you're doing.

Now I can go back and tell him you're fine.

Please help me relay this to President Zhang.

He has to be careful with the meteorite's radiation,

especially when extracting the mineral substance.

Under no circumstance should he touch the meteorite,

not even a speck of it.

You don't have to tell me this.

It's written in your report.

Xiaoyu is still thinking about you.

Though you did many terrible things

and harmed quite a lot of people,

you treated her nicely.

I'm not even sure if I should consider myself lucky

now that you're sitting in there.

It's about time.

I'm off.

Jiang Baiju.

What?

How does it feel

to be immortal?

Just out of curiosity,

if the unknown substance in the meteorite

wasn't radioactive,

would you enjoy your immortality?

No.

Immortality

means you're almost like God.

But men are still mortals.

A man needs a normal life.

He needs love, warmth,

regret, and loss.

You can learn how to cherish and love something

in your limited life.

You really are a coward.

You are not

seeing the bigger picture.

Farewell.

I think every story

deserves a happy ending.

There's already too many troubles in life,

so a story needs to be beautiful.

I've broken off the fetters

and become a real writer.

I've also got a new home now.

You all have to buy my books,

because I have a mortgage to pay.

I don't think I liked her.

It was more like a sense of duty.

I feel like I was responsible for that woman,

or a desire to have her.

I felt like she belonged to me.

Now that I think about it,

I can't believe I ever wanted

such a vicious woman.

Please don't make your subjective judgment.

Just express your true feelings.

There is right and wrong in every action.

In every action?

The human mind can reach the wildest of places,

but we're bound by law and moralities.

If you do something wrong,

then it has to be wrong.

Love at its purest stage

is exceptionally sweet.

So it is not about Ye Lai?

Everybody loves someone with a character.

A beautiful love

is the ultimate dream for all humans.

Chief Fan,

what type of woman do you like?

I, too, would love a woman with a character.

Would you fall for Ye Lai?

Qian Cheng's treatment has been progressing rapidly

now that he has been able to talk about his feelings honestly.

He is now able to talk about the topic of love

with his doctor.

As we agreed,

he will continue working

in Qing'ai.

Are you having a toothache?

Why do you look glum?

The venue is too small.

This is Young Master's first launch event.

Young Master

is now a new designer.

This is good enough.

If he comes into everybody's view

as the fourth-generation designer

replacing William,

people will look into his history.

Jiang Baiju had his first launch event.

For the first time, he stood in the middle of the stage

receiving applauses from everybody.

The man

who made Qing'ai stay in the frontier of fashion for 70 years

has finally stepped forward on the stage

(Qing'ai Group) as an ordinary rising designer

who would be judged, questioned, and attacked

by the public.

What are you doing?

The stuff's in the car.

Can you stop delaying?

Qian Tu,

I saved Qian Cheng's life.

Could you please be nice to me?

It's already very nice of me

to help you move.

Stop wasting time. Let's go.

Okay.

Oh, right.

There must be a wedding

in a happy-ending story.

♪In face of time♪

Lovers finally getting married is cliche,

but it is also very beautiful.

In the future,

they,

like all ordinary couples,

will experience honeymoon,

the boredom for each other,

pregnancy,

baby-feeding,

climacterium and so on.

They'll grow old,

ugly,

boring,

Yes, I do.

But so what?

Be with someone you love,

life is as simple as that.

It took Jiang Baiju 80 years

to obtain this ordinary and insipid life.

As for us,

we've always been

living an ordinary and insipid life.

Is everybody ready for the bouquet?

Which side?

Here!

Ma'am,

you're also a single lady.

You should fight for the bouquet as well.

I stopped doing this when I was young.

Besides,

getting married is boring.

A life of passionate love is the most romantic.

I thought you didn't want to get married.

My mother

gave me an order that

I must get the bouquet from Jin Xiaoyu.

Oh,

what's the purpose of Chief Cheng?

All parents hold the same attitude

for their child's marriage.

Just go for it.

Don't fight me for it.

Don't jostle me.

Give it to me, Xiaoyu.

Here!

Are you ready?

One.

Two.
