[The Double]

[Episode 27]

Yu'e, let's go.

We talked to the Zhou family
about taking you back.

Yu'e, come back with us.

No, I won't leave.

I'll be nothing if I leave.

If I take good care of him, he'll get better.

When we have a child, I'll be Mrs. Zhou.

I want to stay here.

I want to be Mrs. Zhou.

Yu'e.

Let's go.

Yanbang, although you beat me up
so badly before,

I won't go anywhere from now on.

I'll be your wife

and take good care of you

so you can live happily.

[Jiang's Residence]

You've brought so many gifts.

That's very kind of you.

We're all looking forward
to having Ruoyao marry into our family.

Yao hasn't dressed up yet?

Perhaps she is embarrassed.

There's no rush.

Yao, greet Mrs. Qi.

Greetings, Mrs. Qi.

Third Lady Jiang.

I heard that Marchioness Ningyuan came to
your residence, and caused a scene yesterday.

Did Ruoyao get frightened?

She did suffer a bit.

A woman of her age always has pursuers.

It's always the engagement
that gives you peace of mind.

Let's hurry up with the marriage plan
between our families.

You're right.

I got someone to check the date.

It's an auspicious day in three days.

Let's set the date on that day.

There's no need to be so hasty.

Let's do as you said.

Please leave a list of guests for us.

Let me see if there's anyone left out.

Look, the list has already been prepared.

The marriage between our families
[Name List]

Must be a grand wedding.

- Yes.
- So that everyone in the capital will know.

Ruoyao, don't you think so?

There's no need to be so extravagant.

Yao.

Mrs. Qi, we'd be grateful if you could
deliver the invitations quickly.

Yes.

There is a lot of work to be done.

Jiang Ruoyao, think carefully
about who you really are.

I think we should get back to work on it.

We'll get going now.

Mrs. Qi, please wait.

I don't agree with this marriage.

If you didn't want to marry Mr. Qi,
you should have told me earlier.

Why did you reject the Qi family's offer
of marriage to their face, disgracing them?

Your mother worked so hard
to arrange all these things for you.

You're embarrassing her.

If it's embarrassing for Mother,
isn't it embarrassing for me?

You...

If only Mother had listened to me,
why would this have happened?

Listen, she's blaming me for this.

Since you and Zhou Yanbang
broke off the engagement,

I've looked all over for this marriage.

I think Mr. Qi is as good as Zhou Yanbang.

Why did you...

Are you unhappy with him?

I am not unhappy with him.

Then, why did you do that?

I'm unhappy

with Mother.

What did you say?

Mother, I know you've done a lot for me.

Ever since I was a kid,

have you ever thought about
whether or not I'd want any of that?

When I was eight,
Father wanted to take me on a trip.

You said it was inappropriate for a girl
to be seen in public too early.

When I was ten, you forced me
to play the qin,

and even when my fingers bled
and scabbed over,

you wouldn't let me rest.

When I was twelve, you
forced me to take medicine.

When I refused, you made
Ms. Sun force me to swallow it.

You didn't even ask me if I wanted it when
you had me replaced Jiang Li in the engagement.

And you're still in love with him.

Yes.

Although it was a choice you forced me to make,
I like him, and I don't blame you.

But I've paid enough for it.

So from now on,
I'm going to do what I want.

Please don't intervene in my marriage, Mother.

Do you have any idea
what you're talking about?

You insisted on marrying Zhou Yanbang,
and now you're blaming me for everything.

Are you out of your mind?

I'm not out of my mind.

I was infatuated with Zhou Yanbang.

Even though I realized he was not loyal
and kind, I was still infatuated with him.

But now I understand.

I wasn't really infatuated with him.

I just wanted a chance to
escape from the Jiang family.

I wanted to escape from you
even if it would cost me my marriage.

Mother, I knew nothing before,
and now I know everything.

You're the reason I've become like this.

You... You...

My dear, look at her.

Ruoyao, you...

Enough.

It's not like it's a big deal.

I was just like her when I was young.

I chose to marry your father myself after
I canceled the engagement my parents

had arranged for me.

And it worked out just fine.

I've always thought that Ruoyao
didn't have a mind of her own

and could only listen to you, Ji Shuran.

Turns out she knows what she wants now.

Good.

Why don't we just listen to her,
and let her make her own choice?

- But the Qi family...
- Mr. Qi is a man.

What? Will he be so aggrieved
that he wants to mess with us?

- Old Madam.
- My dear.

My dear, since Ruoyao wants
to make her choice...

You take care of yourself, then.

That way, you'll have
some peace and quiet, too.

Just let her be.

Come on, sit down.

Sit down.

Sit down.

It's Jiang Li, isn't it?

Did she teach you to say that?

No one taught me anything.

Those are just the words I've wanted to
say, but haven't dared to say for years.

All these years in this family,
I am the only one who truly cares about you.

You've been abetted by Jiang Li,
do you know that?

She said all those things to confuse you.

She's doing it for her own benefit.

She's trying to set you up.

Jiang Li has never tried to set me up.

That day, from the beginning to the end,

she never mentioned
that I eloped with Zhou Yanbang.

It's you who's been trying to
make her testify against me.

What do you know?

If she dared to accuse you,
it would prove she was slandering you,

and she wouldn't be able
to get away with it easily.

What about me?

What about my reputation and my feelings?

All you want to do is to ruin Jiang Li.

Have you thought about me?

You're always saying other people
are trying to set me up,

but in fact, you just don't want me to trust
anyone else, and then I'll do as you say.

Madam Ji.

Do you know how much I've sacrificed for you?

You mean you've been trying to get rid
of Jiang Li and Jiang Yue for me?

What do you mean?

I don't mean anything.

I just want you to know
I don't need you to do this for me.

I, Jiang Ruoyao,

don't have to step on other
people's corpses to get to the top.

Besides, if I have to step on other
people's corpses to get to the top,

then I'd rather not get there.

I'm going to tell Father that I'm going away on
a study trip, and I don't want to get married.

Madam Ji, don't.

Third Lady, apologize to your mother now,
and she will forgive you.

- I won't.
- From today on,

she's not allowed to see anyone.

But...

Are you still upset about Ruoyao?

It's good that Ruoyao's engagement
with the Qi family has been canceled.

They're not a respectable family anyway.

Afterwards, I'll ask His Majesty
to find another good match for Ruoyao.

I'm not upset about the marriage, but Ruoyao.

She's been bewitched by Jiang Li.

She's a different person now.

I can't control her anymore.

How dare Jiang Li lay a hand on Ruoyao?

If this goes on,
it'll be hard to deal with her.

I must get rid of her this time.

Back then, I remember you took her out of
the Court of Judicial Review's prison yourself.

I thought she'd have some gratitude for you.

But now, it seems I was wrong.

I don't regret saving her.

After all, I didn't want to
make things difficult for Jiang Yuanbai.

Do you have a plan that will work?

Why are you involved with the Eldest Princess?

Why would she come to you?

You mustn't be taken advantage of by her.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

She wants Jiang Li dead more than I do.

Looks like you've made up your mind.

Don't worry.

I'll definitely get rid of her this time.

[Jiang's Residence]

Second Lady, I got a letter from home.

There's news about Miss Haitang
you asked me to find.

- Sit down first.
- Yes.

Miss Haitang you're looking for
is from a rice shop in the village.

She worked as a maid for a lady
whose family works for the government

and left the village many years ago.

Not long ago, a woman appeared in the village.

But she had a long cut on her cheek,
and the inner flesh was visible.

It was horrible.

I'm not sure
if she's the one you're looking for.

Does anyone else know about
what I asked you to do?

Don't worry, Second Lady.

I've already told my sister-in-law as you
instructed me, and the woman's not alerted.

I'll get a hot pot of tea.

Okay.

Young Lady.

Haitang.

Why are you here?

I'll take you out.

What did they do to you?

Shen's Residence is a hell.

I'm going to get you out of here.

Forget about me.

Find a way to send a message to Xue Zhao,
so he will come and save me.

- Young Lady.
- Go now.

Don't fight them.

Wait for Young Master to get here.

Don't worry.

Go now.

But she had a long cut on her cheek.

I wonder what happened to her.

When in need, blow this whistle,
and my men will appear to protect you.

It doesn't seem to be working.

Miss, is there anything I can help you with?

Come here. Put it here. Put it on the ground.

One pot over here, one pot over here, okay?

Aren't you the gardener?

What's your name?

My name is Zhao Ke.

Zhao Ke?

How long have you been at Jiang's Residence?

Since your master has
told me of your existence,

he must have expected me
to ask you this question.

Just tell me.

I assure you he will not chastise you for it.

I came here seven years ago.

Seven years ago?

It seems every move I make
in this compound is in his sights.

Do you have any instructions?

I want you to find out where Ji Shuran went,
and who she met.

Yes.

Also, I want you to take someone
back to the capital for me.

But my master only asked me to keep you safe.

The person I asked you to find
is a threat to my safety

if she falls into someone else's hands.

I understand.

You mean you've been trying to get rid
of Jiang Li and Jiang Yue for me?

Ji Shuran, I've told you before
that things wouldn't end well for you.

It's only a matter of time before my Li
reveals all the misdeeds you've done.

I can help you get rid of Jiang Li.
It's all up to you.

Madam, the carriage and gifts are ready.

Madam.

You don't have to force yourself.

If the choice has been made,
we must see it through to the end.

[Ji's Residence]

You want to see me now that you've
messed up the marriage with the Qi family?

I'm about to retire,
and I want Qi Wenbin to take over.

A marriage between the two families
will bring benefits and no harm.

But now, the marriage is off the table,
and we've offended the Qi family.

You've ruined such a good plan.

Father, you still can't change
your habit of finding fault in others.

You think I like to find fault?

You're the one who's caused me
the most trouble in the Ji family.

You chose to elope with that poor painter

instead of going down the path
to wealth that I arranged for you.

If I hadn't brought you back,
how could you be who you are today?

You're not thankful, and you dare to doubt me?

If you come near my daughter again,
I'll let you die without a grave.

It's all my fault.

Please spare his life.

Remember what has happened to him.

If you ever disobey me again,
I'll ruin any man you love.

If I didn't do that, how could you have
become the Grand Chancellor's wife now?

Father, have you forgotten how I
became the Grand Chancellor's wife?

At that time, you were
going to sell me to a silly man.

You told me to be patient, to marry a fool,

and in a few years, I would be in charge
of Marquis's Residence, after having a child.

Then, I'll have both money and power.

You said it was better
than marrying a painter who has nothing.

I begged you on my knees
and told you I wouldn't marry him.

You said I had to marry him
unless I found someone better.

Didn't you find someone better?

Shuran, it's been hard on you.

You have to come here every day
to keep me who's sickly company.

We're like sisters.

I'll stay with you until you're better.

I'll be going.
I'll come back tomorrow to see you.

Grand Chancellor Jiang, don't worry.
Mrs. Jiang is getting better.

You don't agree with the marriage
I've arranged for you

and you can't marry into the Jiang family,
so what else can you do?

Zhenzhen is getting better now.

It's not something I could have predicted.

Illnesses tend to flare up again.

If you make her condition worse,
you can marry into the Jiang family.

How can I do that?

Now you have two choices.

Either you marry that silly man, or you do
something to become Jiang Yuanbai's wife.

I think you know how to choose.

It's you who turned me
into what I am today step by step.

Father, I should be thanking you,
for making me inherit your viciousness,

for making me always want
to harm others when something happens,

and ultimately for making me
have no friends but enemies.

Your problem is that you are not vicious
and cruel enough.

I thought you'd improved
by killing Jiang Yuanbai's wife.

But when I told you to kill Concubine Hu,
you said she was not a threat.

When I told you to kill Jiang Li,
you said she couldn't make much of an impact.

Now that they've started to get
in your way, are you feeling good?

You're right. I'm not vicious enough.

So now, I've figured it out.

I should have been more vicious.

Why should I bear all the consequences?

What do you mean?

Father, doesn't this tea make you feel sleepy?

Father, it's the finest tea.

Please try it.

You... What are you trying to do?

Liu Wencai is back.

He's back to help you teach me to be cruel.

What?

He said he could help me get rid of Jiang Li.

But he wants me to help him...
take his revenge first.

Your father nearly beat me to death, and
broke my fingers so I could never hold a brush.

Now I want him to cut off an arm,
and kowtow to me in person to apologize

for what he did.

What?

Cut off my arm?

Is that why you came back for me?

Didn't you say I wasn't cruel enough?

Now I can be cruel.

All it takes is one of your arms, and a kowtow.

Who is he to make me cut off
my own arm and kowtow?

- Is he worthy?
- Yes, he is.

He is now the Imperial Diviner
from the Office of Imperial Diviner.

He's just an eighth-rank Imperial Diviner.

Should I be afraid of him?

He's backed by Princess Wanning.

Not to mention that the Imperial Diviner
is in charge of royal divination.

It's not a high-ranking position,
but he has access to the imperial court.

So what?

My daughter is the most favored consort
in the palace.

So you've survived this long
thanks to your two daughters.

And you dared to think we're not cruel enough?

I'll show you how cruel I can be today.

I'll cut off your arm,
and drag you to Liu Wencai's door.

Liu Wencai has been nowhere to be found
for so many years,

and now he's suddenly come to us
as the Imperial Diviner.

Who knows what he's up to?

You can't be fooled by him.

I'm your father, your own father
who gave birth to you and raised you.

Shuran.

Shuran. Shuran.

Shuran. Listen to me.

Shuran.

When your mother passed away,
in order to raise you and your sister,

I didn't even think of marrying again,
lest you should suffer.

How can you cut off your father's arm
just to deal with a girl?

My good daughter, you can't be so confused.

Shuran. Shuran.

Looks like I'm going to let you down again.

I just can't be as cruel as you want me to be.

Guards.

Guards!

[Ancestral Shrine of the Jiang Family]

- We're almost there.
- What a crazy woman.

Why are you keeping all these things?

- Give it to me.
- Just throw them away.

- No.
- Give it to me.

- My Yue.
- Give it back to me.

- Give it to me.
- Give it to me now.

What do you need this for?

- Throw it.
- Give it to me.

Don't touch dead people's stuff.

- What a bad luck. Give it to me.
- No.

- Don't steal my Yue.
- You keep dead people's stuff every day.

Is this how you treat your mistress?

Second Lady.

You still know the rules of Jiang's Residence?

Second Lady, you've got it wrong.
Concubine Hu was hysterical.

That's why I tried to stop her.

If I know you're treating
your mistress like this again,

I'll send you back to Jiang's Residence,
and praise you in front of Old Madam.

Second Lady, please forgive me.

I know I was wrong.

Help your madam into the house.

Yes.

Concubine Hu. Concubine Hu.

Concubine Hu, let's go.

My Yue. My Yue.

Yue, don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

You've messed up
our ancestral blessed land like this.

The monthly payment has been sent here on time.

But you don't even put up
a charcoal fire in the middle of winter,

and you don't even replace
the broken window paper.

I should ask you for the accounts.

Yes, we have everything here.

But Concubine Hu doesn't feel cold,
which is why she doesn't need the charcoal.

I've brought some tonic for Concubine Hu.

Tong, teach her how to serve her madam.

Yes.

Let's go.

Yue, don't be afraid. Yue, don't be afraid.

Yue, don't be afraid.

Concubine Hu, they've left.

We can have a heart-to-heart chat.

My Yue feels cold. She feels cold.

She feels cold.

Yue.

I will only be here this one time.

Are you sure you want
to keep putting on an act?

What did you come to see me for?

You're not here to catch up, are you?

I want to hear about the story of you and Yue.

What do you know?

By asking that, it means there's
something more to Yue's death.

If you're here to talk to me about this,
I have nothing to say.

I don't mean to disturb you.

Once you and my mother were good friends.

I remember you always hugged me when
I was little, and Yue was very kind to me.

That is why I don't remember
much of what happened

as I was away from Jiang's Residence
for so long,

but I still feel very close to you
when I see you.

Since you don't want to tell your story,

I'll tell you mine.

I was wronged as a child,
abandoned by my family,

and sent to Qingcheng Mountain
to stay for ten years.

Qingcheng Mountain
was colder than this place.

I'd been left alone for ten years,
I'd learned about people's cruelty,

and I didn't see a ray of hope.

But I didn't want to resign to my destiny.

If it was my destiny, I'd go against it

because it was not my fault,
so I would never bow down.

Why should those who do evil be exalted

and those who suffer bow down,
and be grateful for not killing them?

That's why I had to come down from
the mountain, and return to the capital

to appear in front of the people.

Concubine Hu, you faked hysteria and survived.

But you've been suffering from the pain
of your daughter's death every day.

Don't you think you're just as good as dead?

If you're as aggrieved as I am,
I hope you'll come forward.

I will help you and I'm capable
of helping you, too.

That's all I have to say.

I won't bother you anymore.

My Yue was killed.

- My Yue was killed!
- Be careful.

Second Lady, Yue was killed!

She was killed!

Second Lady, please help Yue
to redress the injustice!

[Office of Imperial Diviner]

I've been waiting for you for so long.

Why are you here alone?

What are you doing?

Don't you want my father
to kneel down and apologize?

I'll kneel for him.

I think you've got it wrong.

I want him to cut off an arm,
and kowtow to me and apologize.

I'll do it for him.

Come on.

What about your debt?

Have you forgotten the fire you set?

Do you mean you want me
to give you my life?

You owe me more than a life.

The Taoist priest said
my nature was extremely yin,

and if I followed him,
I'd achieve great things in the future.

He taught me how to exorcise evil spirits,

took care of me,
and provided me with food and drink.

I think this is probably
Heaven's way of compensating me.

But I didn't expect the greater torture
to begin.

It's part of the practice.

If you can't take it, you can get lost.

I'd been through the pain of burning,
so that was nothing.

He said that other people's exorcisms
only drove away evil spirits from their bodies.

But his exorcism
is to make the evil spirits possess me,

who had been reborn from fire,
and destroy them completely.

The more I was drenched in blood,

the more indistinguishable
the blood and my flesh became,

the more the nobles would believe in us.

After all, no one can hurt themselves
as much as me.

Hence, the nobles are willing
to pay more for it.

As words spread,
we gained popularity in the capital

and even got to meet the Eldest Princess.

I like people like you
who are willing to give it all.

There's a vacancy
in the Office of Imperial Diviner.

I can give this position to one person.

You guys talk it over.

I prefer the one who's ruthless.

Didn't you want to die long ago?

Then, I'll send you to hell.

I'll pray for you every day from now on.

But since I've decided to live,
I won't die easily.

Thanks to the support of the Eldest Princess,
I have become the Imperial Diviner.

Do you think your life could compensate
for what happened to me?

I had no choice.

I was already married and had Ruoyao.

When my father found out about you,
I begged him to let me see you one last time.

There's no need to bring up the past.

Let me think about how I can
make you pay back some interest.

Do you know why I want to get rid of Jiang Li?

I don't want to know.

[Office of Imperial Diviner]

It wasn't an accident that Yue fell off
the artificial hills.

From the day Ji married into the Jiang family,
I felt something was wrong with her.

It's so beautiful.

So this is First Lady Jiang, Jiang Yue.

She's so adorable.

Although she seemed gentle and elegant,
and was nice to Yue,

I just didn't think she was
as simple as she seemed.

I wanted Yue to stay away from her,
but I didn't expect something to still happen.

Yue, let me play for a while.

No, I won't give it to you.

- I won't give it to you.
- Let me play for a while.

Yue, let me play for a while.
[Little Jiang Ruoyao]

I won't let you play.
[Jiang Yue]

Yue, let me play for a while.

Stand up.

Don't cry.

If you want it, go get it yourself.

- Give it to me.
- My mother made this for me.

Don't cry.

I won't give it to you.

Ji Shuran asked Ms. Sun
to take Yue to the artificial hills

to make it look like Yue had fallen
from the artificial hills, and lost her life,

trying to make it look like Ji Shuran
had nothing to do with it.

My Yue died at Ji Shuran's hands.

You weren't at the scene.

How did you know?

My former maid's name was Baoqin.

That day, she was following Yue.

She went to the kitchen
to get sweet soup for the kids.

When she came back, she heard Ji Shuran
ordering Ms. Sun to do something,

so she came back and told me immediately.

Where's Baoqin?

She was made the scapegoat.

After Yue's death, Ji Shuran
kicked her out of Jiang's Residence

by saying that she hadn't
taken care of Yue well,

and she is now nowhere to be found.

You knew about it then.
Why didn't you testify against Ji Shuran?

Testify against her?

Second Lady, you've been back
in Jiang's Residence for so long.

Why would you ask me something like that?

You should know better than me
what the Jiang family is like.

Just like when you were sent to Zhennyu Hall,
didn't you defend yourself?

Didn't you testify against Ji Shuran?

Did anyone believe a word you said?

Ji Shuran said I was hysterical
because I lost Yue,

and that's why I accused her, slandered her.

She's good, she made herself innocent

and had a reputation as a virtuous woman
who pitied the weak and the poor.

And I became the one who's ungrateful.

If Old Madam hadn't considered our bond
and defended me,

I'd have been sent to Zhennyu Hall.

Later, I succumbed to Ji Shuran,
and pretended to be hysterical.

The Jiangs couldn't keep me in the residence,
so they sent me here,

and I managed to survive.

And not a single person
in the entire Jiang family suspected her?

She's Madam Ji,
the wife of the illegitimate son.

She's gentle, generous, and virtuous.

Who would believe that she would kill

a concubine's daughter
who didn't even get in her way?

Even if someone found it strange,
the Ji family was flourishing at that time,

and there was a favored Consort Li
to support the family,

who would offend the Ji family
for a dead person?

Second Lady, you're in the Jiang family too.

You know better than I do
whether they value favors or profits.

Evil has its retribution.

I'll definitely seek justice for Yue.

Greetings, Mother.

If you're out in this rain,
you must be on an important errand.

I bet you're on an important errand, too.

Nothing's important to me.

It's all about you kids.

Sorry to have troubled you.

Mother, you should mind
your own business when you have time.

As a mother,
the children's business comes first.

Li, go in quickly.

Don't let the wind and rain freeze you.

Mother, please.

Madam.

What's the matter?

A servant reported that Jiang Li
went to Concubine Hu's place.

The two of them talked for a long time
with the door closed

and Concubine Hu didn't behave madly.

It seems she wants
to settle old scores with me this time.

Concubine Hu has been pretending
to be crazy for so many years.

It's really hard for her.

Shall we make Concubine Hu...

Jiang Li has gone to her, so she'll be watched.

A woman who killed her mother and brother,
and a crazy concubine.

If they're involved,
they'll be the ones in deep trouble.

Third Lady, time to get up and eat.

Madam Ji has prepared
some calming soup for you.

Get up and have some.

Ms. Sun, you...

Third Lady, it's all for your own good.

When you wake up, everything will be fine.

What have you done?

What have you done to me?

What have you done?

Say it!

Third Lady has gone mad!

Third Lady has gone mad!

It's all for your own good.

Third Lady.

Third Lady, I'm doing this for your own good.

What did the physician say?

Several physicians have examined her, but they
all say there's nothing wrong with her pulse,

and there have been no symptoms.

They couldn't tell us why a healthy person
would suddenly be in such a state.

Master Jiang,
forgive me for speaking out of turn.

Third Lady looks like...

She looks like someone who's been
possessed by an evil spirit in my hometown.

Ms. Sun, what nonsense are you talking about?

I brought up Third Lady.

She's in such a state now.

I wouldn't talk nonsense.

It's my own stupid idea,
but since ancient times,

many people have died
in this way for no reason.

Master Jiang, let's get
someone to check Third Lady.

But where can we find
such an expert in the capital?

Don't talk nonsense about strange powers.

Ruoyao has no other symptoms.

Don't get those who deliberately mystify
themselves here, and cause rumors to spread.

What about my Yao?

Possessed by an evil spirit?

Ruoyao's condition is strange.

It's good to try it.

Since you've decided it,
you can do as she says.

I'm going to write a letter
to the Imperial Diviner now.

Mother, take good care of yourself.

You'd better stay home for a few days.

Don't worry.

Old Madam, do you believe in
what happened to Third Lady?

Strange powers are not from the mortal world.

I wouldn't know it.

But if it's the doing of humans,
we'll figure it out eventually.

Tell Grand Chancellor Jiang
that I'll be there tomorrow.

Yes.

There's a ghost.

Jiang Li, there's a ghost.

There's a ghost.

What's wrong?

Where's the ghost?

You know what? Something big has happened.

Jiang Ruoyao has been possessed
by an evil spirit.

The Imperial Diviner is invited to exorcise it.

Imperial Diviner?

The Imperial Diviner is very creepy.

It's true that the royal family is merciless.

Did anything happen in the imperial court?

There's been a lot of deaths in the harem.

One day a maid dies, the next day an eunuch.

It's all over the palace,
saying there's an evil spirit in the palace.

After that,

- Evil spirit?
- the Imperial Diviner came to exorcise.

The Imperial Diviner said
an evil spirit possessed a consort.

His Majesty showed no mercy,
and granted her poisonous liquor immediately.

Rumor has it that the poor consort didn't
even have a chance to defend herself and was...

Do you think the Imperial Diviner
will catch the evil spirit in our house?

Since he's here,
they won't return empty-handed.

They?

Do you really think Jiang Ruoyao is possessed?

I got it.

According to you, Ji Shuran is too cruel.

She even sacrificed her own daughter.

Who else can be an evil spirit in
the whole Jiang family, but you?

I'm ready to be an evil spirit this time.

♫ If there are no happy memories ♫

♫ How can we traverse
the forbidden land of sorrow? ♫

♫ Two cold and unfeeling bodies ♫

♫ Holding hands,
can we get through the snow season? ♫

♫ In the cold wind, in the long night ♫

♫ Embracing the remaining warmth ♫

♫ The depth of the sea, unfathomable ♫

♫ Can it bury yesterday's sighs? ♫

♫ Continue to love,
cherishing it with my life ♫

♫ Continue to live,
even with only a glimmer of hope ♫

♫ Whether in sorrow or joy,
I believe in you ♫

♫ I'd rather be trapped
in the world's extremes ♫

♫ Continue to live,
exhausting all courage ♫

♫ Continue to love,
until the breath runs out ♫

♫ Traversing half a lifetime
of loneliness, just to meet you ♫

♫ After the hardships,
never to part again ♫
