[Moon Love]

[Episode 3]

Yun Zhaoyan,

you are a downright liar.

My Lord, don't go.

I...

[Crescent moon]

My Lord.

It's the moon! My Lord!

The moon has come out.

Let go...

My Lord,

I'm kind of useful, right?

Now,

can you let me

stay by your side?

♫It's hard to distinguish what's good and what's evil, and it's hard to love or hate someone♫

We haven't seen the moon for ten years.

♫We meet and part, coming to nothing♫

My Lord,

what's meant to happen will happen.

♫Regardless of the chaos and fate♫

♫I only love you with deep affection♫

Yun Zhaoyan,

what does the moon's reappearance have to do with you?

Don't flatter yourself.

You're just a handyman

in the morgue.

Who are you to bargain with me?

I saw a woman in red

around you.

Now you believe me, right?

You must know who the renegade immortal in red is.

What does she look like?

She wears red clothes.

Her face is exquisite.

She was looking at you sadly.

You saw her

when we first met?

I saw her face clearly beside the lake during the day.

But she is so special.

Other renegade immortals dare not get close to you.

Only she

has been looking at you silently.

Maybe she wants something.

Yun Zhaoyan,

if you can see her now,

tell her

to stay away from me.

Otherwise, I won't spare her.

But she's not around you now.

I only see her occasionally.

She is not always around you.

My Lord,

you've started to believe me, right?

If what you said is true,

ask that woman

to show up now.

But she's not here now.

You really are talking nonsense.

I'm not lying.

Next time I see her,

I'll find a way to make her meet you.

Yun Zhaoyan,

don't expect to stay by my side with this excuse.

Your home is no longer here.

Don't make trouble in Qingzhou City.

I...

I'm not making trouble.

Anyway,

don't disturb me anymore.

[Yun's Mansion]

My Lord,

the moon has reappeared.

It's the crescent moon.

I guess it's the transformation of Lin Nian.

I think you knew

the moon will reappear long ago.

Is it necessary to be like this?

Did Miss Zhaoyan

tell you something else

that makes you so unhappy?

What she said is just nonsense.

Why is he here?

What's the imperial censor's relationship with Yun Zhaoyan?

Look!

The moon has come out.

Finally, the moon has come out.

It's been so many years. Finally, it has come out.

It's been so many years.

Thank you, Moon God.

Thank you, Moon God.

We can be saved.

Father, Mother,

you were right.

Moon God will bless me.

Ten years ago, Moon God gave me eyes

so that I saw my mother for the last time.

Now, Moon God has sent His Lordship here.

From now on,

I can accompany you here in peace.

[Imperial Censor's Mansion]

The moon has reappeared in Qingzhou.

It's such an important matter. Why hasn't he come back yet?

Has he forgotten

I'll come here every day?

Calm down.

G-Governor, c-calm down.

H-His Lordship likes to g-go out in the middle of the night.

W-We don't know w-when he'll come back.

Y-You don't know?

In my opinion,

he doesn't respect me at all.

Ten years ago,

thanks to my discerning eyes,

I put Ren Shique in an important position

although he wasn't quite himself

and was dispirited at that time.

If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have been here now.

However,

although he is cruel and violent to everyone,

he only treats me like an old friend.

That means

no one is as easy-going

as me.

You're right.

You're right.

Qingzhou is going to select concubines for the emperor.

I'll talk to him tonight.

But he

is too weird.

He's skilled in martial arts,

but he's always mysterious.

He's a little strange and special.

But no matter how special he is,

he's not as talented

or graceful

as me.

Besides, I enjoy more love and esteem of the people.

You're right.

[Xu Xian]

But I think

recently, His Lordship has been closer

to a woman who j-just came to Qingzhou

t-than you.

Who is she?

Who can make him treat her differently?

I think h-her name is...

[Bei Wu]

Yun Zhaoyan.

Y-Yun Zhaoyan.

Yun Zhaoyan?

I think H-His Lordship specially went to the lakeside

in broad daylight because of her.

Yun Zhaoyan.

The shrew in my family is in Qingzhou.

No.

She doesn't dare to come back.

She doesn't dare to come back.

His Lordship is back.

Ren Shique,

you saw Yun Zhaoyan?

You know her?

Looks like she really is back.

She really has the guts to come back.

Ren Shique,

you must be wary of Yun Zhaoyan.

She's been weird since she was little.

Wherever she is, something will happen there.

I remember many years ago,

there was a fire in her house.

My father thought she was alone and helpless,

so he took her to our mansion to raise her.

Guess what?

Not long after that,

Governor's Mansion also caught fire.

Luckily, no one got hurt.

It's so scary.

Right,

the shrew in my family

has held a grudge against her since childhood.

If she knows,

she'll skin her.

She deserves it.

The shrew in my family

will be back in a few days.

The selection of concubines

will also take place in a few days.

Great.

What a coincidence.

Ren Shique,

you've never seen the scene of selecting concubines.

All types of women in Qingzhou

will gather together.

Looking at them

is a feast for the eyes.

Every time I think about it,

I feel

calm.

How come the imperial censor

is not angry with the city governor today?

G-Get ready anytime.

I'm tired.

You may leave.

Governor.

Governor, go back first.

Ren Shique,

be... be wary of Yun Zhaoyan.

I saw a woman in red

around you.

She

wears red clothes.

Her face is exquisite.

She was looking at you sadly.

I don't have

what you want anymore.

Why are you still following me?

[Governor's Mansion]

Today is a sunny day.

I should go to the taverns in Qingzhou

to taste their new wine.

What a pity.

After the shrew in my family comes back,

my good days will come to an end.

[Gu Qing]

Qing.

Why... Why are you back in advance?

Of course I came back

to prepare for the selection of concubines.

I want to go to Shengjing

and make everyone there amazed by me.

Right, Brother,

you just mentioned "the shrew".

Were you talking about me?

Do you want peanuts?

The selection of concubines is just around the corner.

Everything in the mansion must be taken seriously.

The people from Shengjing

will come here to issue an edict.

We can't let them look down on us.

Qing,

you are really determined to become a concubine.

If you enter the palace,

you'll have to compete with a bunch of women.

Brother,

don't worry.

With my beauty and wisdom,

I can be successful wherever I go.

I'm worried you'll make a mess in the palace.

I was born

to be in the spotlight.

I'll only shine more brightly in the future.

Brother.

Just watch

how I'll make a stir in Shengjing.

The selection of concubines will last for three days in Chuxiu House.

Princess, you must go there on the first day.

No.

Only the last one can amaze everyone,

so that those who fail will be convinced.

We should

enjoy a hot spring experience outside the city for three days.

I'll come back in three days

to take the first place at one stroke.

It's been a while.

The people in the city have become politer.

I'm just passing by,

but they're making way for me.

They really admire me.

Yes.

For you to look more beautiful for the selection of concubines,

the people

dare not delay you in enjoying the hot spring experience.

After I return,

I will generously reward everyone in Qingzhou City.

[Chuxiu House]

Sister.

Zixi,

why are you still up at this hour?

Sister,

[Wen Zixi] [Wen Zimo]

we're about to enter the palace.

I'm so happy that I can't sleep.

Everyone says

the Wen family

is blessed by Moon God.

That's why both of us have been selected at the same time.

Why don't we

go to Jing'an Hall to pray

before we go to Shengjing?

I pray

both of us can gain the emperor's favor successfully.

I pray

the Wen family

can prosper.

It's late.

Chuxiu House has a rule

that no one can leave without a reason.

We can go worship

tomorrow.

Tomorrow,

I'll have to learn the palace etiquette from Ma'am.

I don't have time to go.

Let's go secretly

and come back secretly.

Okay?

I'll

ask our father to ask for a leave for you

and remove your name from the list

to get you out of this

so that you can be safe for the rest of your life. What do you think?

No.

The shortlist

has already been delivered to Shengjing.

It can't be changed.

Besides,

the palace is a great place.

I can enjoy a high position and great wealth there.

I can also be with you.

I will love it.

Sister,

tell me.

After we enter the palace,

will we still

be together every day like this?

I'm afraid

we'll live

very far from each other.

Let's go now. Let's make it quick.

Let's go.

You naughty girl,

you're wearing my shoes again.

Then you wear mine.

Sister,

are you okay?

I'm fine.

You are weak,

but you're still wearing thin clothes.

You know what?

Today,

when I made the wish,

I also said I hope

my sister

can be much healthier in the future.

Sister,

did you make any special wish?

I...

I forgot my basket.

Wait for me here.

I'm going back to get the basket.

I'll be back soon.

Zixi.

My Lord!

My Lord!

My Lord,

something happened.

Wen Zixi, the second daughter of the Wen family,

has just been selected to go to Shengjing.

But last night,

she disappeared in Chuxiu House for no reason.

As expected,

the people are saying

it's because you offended Moon God.

I think you spread the rumor.

My Lord.

The details sound complicated and confusing.

Besides, something was wrong with the Soul Collecting Lamp last night.

Maybe

a renegade immortal did it.

It would be great if you go take a look.

Are you sure a renegade immortal did it?

My Lord,

if we can't find Miss Zixi

within three days,

the Wen family will be in big trouble

if Shengjing blames us.

It'd be great if it wasn't a renegade immortal who did it.

If it was,

we should subdue him as soon as possible.

Since we are not sure

if it was done by a renegade immortal,

ask Xie Guichen

to investigate it.

Now we're in the middle of selecting concubines.

But this matter is too serious.

If we can't find Miss Zixi,

I'm afraid it won't end well.

You take care of this.

If you encounter a problem,

just send more men.

Send more men?

I see.

[Imperial Censor's Mansion]

Recently, strange things have frequently happened in Qingzhou City.

[Recruitment Notice]

So we're recruiting capable people to work together

to ensure the people can live a peaceful life again

as soon as possible.

I can't believe Lord Night Guard

is recruiting men.

I told you Lord Night Guard

offended Moon God

and got Qingzhou City implicated.

We'd better

stay out of this

and behave ourselves.

[Recruitment Notice]

I want to apply for the job in Imperial Censor's Mansion.

Anyone can apply for it,

except you.

Why?

The notice says

every citizen of Qingzhou can apply for it.

I've decided to stay in Qingzhou City.

I am also a citizen of Qingzhou.

You wouldn't listen to my advice.

You want to stay instead of leaving?

Yes.

Because

you are here.

But I don't want to see you.

Don't expect to enter Imperial Censor's Mansion.

You will only disturb the peace of Qingzhou City.

[Imperial Censor's Mansion]

I will stay.

Come and have some watermelon.

Come here and have some watermelon.

Have you heard

about what happened to the Wen family?

-What happened? -What happened?

It's said that

Wen Zimo is jealous of Wen Zixi.

She's worried Wen Zixi will outshine her

after they enter the palace.

So,

she hid her.

Indeed, Wen Zimo

is no match for Wen Zixi in every aspect.

She's lucky

that she has been selected too.

Exactly.

I heard that Wen Zixi disappeared

after she worshipped in Jing'an Hall

of Chuxiu House.

They also found her sister's embroidered shoes there.

Wen Zimo must have murdered Wen Zixi there.

They're biological sisters.

-Yes. -Yes.

How could she do that?

Even the women and children on the street

have such inferential abilities now?

This is what it's like in crowded places.

Three liars make a tiger.

That's how rumors are created.

They are also like this

when they talk about you.

They've talked enough about me over the past ten years.

I'm not afraid of them.

I just chose to ignore them.

But this matter is weird.

If Wen Zimo really wanted to do it,

why did she have the guts

to do it in Chuxiu House?

You have a point.

They all say

Lord Night Guard

offended Moon God.

So Moon God sent an immortal

to punish Lord Night Guard.

But somehow, Wen Zimo

fell into the trap.

That's why she made a mistake.

My Lord,

they are just mortals

who know nothing.

They're just mortals.

My Lord.

My Lord. My Lord, wait.

My Lord, wait for me.

Why is it you again?

My Lord,

can you let me

help investigate the Wen family's case?

What trick are you trying to play now?

I just want to help the Wen family solve the problem.

Besides, it can quash the rumor.

In this way,

you don't need to cross the line

on the street.

What do you mean?

You have supernatural abilities.

Just now, on the street,

you made those gossipy women

become like...

She... She saw.... saw...

What exactly do you want?

My Lord,

you're broad-minded.

Just let bygones

be bygones.

But today,

I accidentally saw

your little secret.

It proves that fate brought us together.

We should cherish it.

Fate brought us together?

Yes.

Otherwise, how did I

meet you again and again?

My Lord,

I...

want to ask you for a small favor.

Can I enter Imperial Censor's Mansion?

Otherwise, I can't guarantee

if I'll tell someone accidentally.

You seldom interact with other people.

You don't want everyone else in the city

to gossip about this, right?

You saw it wrong.

I saw it clearly.

My Lord, just now,

you were like this.

Then they...

became like this.

Anyway,

if the people in Qingzhou City know

you're capable of doing this,

I wonder if they'll visit you in your mansion.

Who would believe the nonsense

of a suspicious outsider who has no relatives?

Besides,

do you think the people in Qingzhou City

will believe you, a crazy woman,

or me, the imperial censor?

Then I'll tell them.

I'm going to tell them now.

I bet you wouldn't dare to do it.

Why wouldn't I dare?

I really saw it.

Even if what you said is true,

you should think about

your own ability and courage

and see if you can bear the consequences.

Leave now!

Don't think I don't know who you are.

You are the envoy sent by Moon God

to give me eyes back then.

Back then, I prayed to Moon God

to give me a pair of eyes.

But the eyes you gave me

allow me to see renegade immortals.

You took it wrong.

You should give me an explanation.

However,

if you let me enter Imperial Censor's Mansion,

I will let it go.

I won't tell on you.

You

made up such a story at one go.

I'm impressed.

Yun Zhaoyan,

do you really want to stay by my side?

Yes.

I want to stay by your side.

But it's not because of you.

If it weren't for the eyes, I...

Since you hate the eyes so much,

I'll gouge them out for you.

My Lord,

what do you mean?

If I gouge the eyes out for you,

you won't be able to see

those scary things anymore.

Isn't that good?

Come here.

Forget it.

I'll keep the eyes.

But I'm a man of my word.

Don't... Don't come near me!

I'll scream if you come any closer.

I have a loud voice.

I...

[Imperial Censor's Mansion]

He left?

[Imperial Censor's Mansion]

My Lord,

you can't expose your abilities anymore.

Luckily, she hasn't guessed too much.

If you break the heavenly rules again,

your body won't be able to bear it.

She's just an ordinary mortal.

How dare she threaten me!

I was just trying to scare her,

but she got frightened.

My Lord,

you can't be

as impulsive as you were ten years ago.

You can't give her the eyes

or gouge them out just because you want to.

You already know?

It's rare to see you so restless.

I guess

Miss Zhaoyan must...

Don't mention her!

My Lord.

You can't be so fierce to a girl.

Finally, a woman wants to stay by your side.

You should control yourself

and keep her by your side.

She has ulterior motives.

It doesn't matter.

Since Miss Zhaoyan can see renegade immortals

and knows you are special,

if you keep her by your side,

perhaps your doubts about Kui Ji

can be cleared up.

What if the truth is more heartbreaking

after we clear up the doubts that have existed for years?

Kanxu.

Yes.

Will you feel uneasy

when you're by my side?

I used to be a thousand-year-old osmanthus tree on the moon.

I'm lucky that I can serve you.

Now I'm in the mortal world.

I have a young appearance that I've never had before.

My worldly wish has come true.

Why would I feel uneasy?

Due to what happened to Wu Tu back then,

I've been unable to sleep or eat well.

But because of my eyes, Wu Tu...

My Lord,

Wu Tu and you have met again

in the mortal world, right?

Besides, he comes to you every day.

You can't do this.

Bei Wu, Xu Xian,

I really have something important to tell him.

Today, I don't want

to see Wu Tu.

I can't believe Wu Tu.

His Lordship is not feeling well today.

Governor, please come another day.

Ren Shique,

are you going to handle

Chuxiu House's case or not?

[Chuxiu House]

Ren Shique,

you don't want to see me, right?

I can do it myself.

That night,

we went to Jing'an Hall together.

But somehow,

even with a lamp in our hands,

the surrounding environment was dark.

On our way back from praying,

Zixi said she left the basket in Jing'an Hall.

She told me to wait for her here.

After that,

she never came back.

We've searched everywhere in Chuxiu House.

We only found that shoe.

The embroidered shoes in Jing'an Hall

are yours?

Yes.

But we share

many things.

This case...

It's so scary.

You should

handle the case.

Yun Zhaoyan,

how dare you offend the imperial censor!

He is so angry.

I'm afraid it'll be harder

to enter Imperial Censor's Mansion.

Ma'am.

You are...

Yun Zhaoyan?

Ma'am, you finally remember me.

Sit down and eat.

You still have the mood to eat?

Have you heard about what happened to the daughters of the Wen family?

Everyone in the city knows it.

I even offended the imperial censor because of this.

You offended Lord Night Guard?

I thought

you went there to help him.

Yes.

I wanted to frighten him.

But I forgot

as I got angry.

Let me teach you.

If you want to ask someone for help,

you should help him solve a problem.

If I help His Lordship solve the current problem,

to return the favor,

he

will let me stay by his side, right?

Ma'am, you have a point.

I'm going out.

Remember to leave the door unlocked.

What's the rush?

[Chuxiu House]

Jing'an Hall.

Is anyone here?

Just spit it out if you have something to say. Don't scare me.

Why are you doing this?

In this life,

I decided too many people's fates arbitrarily.

In the end, only regrets are left to them.

Now I hope they can leave as they wish

and be free from worldly things.

By the way, Lord Ren,

Miss Zhaoyan asked me

to tell you something.

Her?

Ma'am.

Who are you?

Ma'am, I'm Yun Zhaoyan.

I currently live in the morgue.

Did you pay the rent?

Ma'am,

we reached an agreement, right?

I help you with the work in the morgue

so that I don't need to pay the rent.

This seems to be true.

Then get back to work.

Ma'am,

I have a good idea.

It can allow me to pay the rent

and stay in Qingzhou City safely.

You are a young girl.

Why do you want to live in the morgue?

After I earn enough money,

I'll leave.

You'll move out of the morgue?

You little girl,

you'll marry into a family here?

Ma'am, what are you thinking?

I... Anyway, the first step is to work in Imperial Censor's Mansion.

So you're targeting someone in Imperial Censor's Mansion.

Imperial Censor's Mansion is not an ordinary place.

You're a young girl.

How can you get in?

Actually, I've found someone

who can help me solve my current problem.

My Lord,

since the day the Soul Collecting Lamp was lit,

I've been thinking about something.

You've been in the mortal world for ten years.

Don't you want to return to the Heavenly Palace at all?

I don't.

Yes.

I know why you don't want to return to the Heavenly Palace.

But if you continue to stay in the mortal world,

you'll become more like a mortal.

Where did you learn such nonsense?

How can a god be like a mortal?

My Lord,

you haven't noticed this.

You've become more like a mortal

since you were angered by Miss Yun that day.

Now you've learned to tease the city governor.
