[Pretty Boy]

[Episode 15]

Now that the serious talk is done,

I'm going to pick some chili peppers.

Qing Cai,

you've got a big heart.

Just now, we were talking about life and death,

and now you're back to thinking about your gang of ruffians?

I'm just a simple guy.

Plus, my dad's safe for now,

so why not

enjoy life a little?

Always worrying about court politics

seems pretty dull to me.

Matters of the state are nothing

more than power struggles among the elite.

Rarely are they truly about people's welfare.

With your talent,

don't you feel like it's being wasted?

Stop testing me.

I know my limits.

Besides, I've led too rough a life

to be familiar with the schemes and intrigues

of the court.

If I were thrown into that world,

I'd just be overwhelmed

and accomplish nothing meaningful.

Better to work

within my own familiar sphere

and do some small, practical good.

The wise often hide among the common folk.

Those power struggles among the elite?

Just a pack of scoundrels squabbling.

Nothing admirable about it.

Are you talking about Wang Yishao?

Indeed.

He should take on something meaningful for a change.

But that's not his place.

His unique position

might cost him his life

if he makes a move.

It's all about effort.

You're a surviving member of the Mo Clan?

No wonder you've been drifting around

and ended up here.

I came here for revenge.

So, does that mean

we're destined to clash in the future?

Actually, the Mingyi Manor has always

dealt with the royal family half-heartedly,

only avoiding offense to them.

So, does that mean

you'd side with me

to go against Mingyi Manor?

No.

My orders are to protect Mingyi Manor.

If you make a move,

just don't let me catch you.

And if you do catch me?

I'll stop you.

What if your orders were to kill me?

What if you found the son of the late Emperor?

My father's orders are clear:

If I encounter that person, eliminate them on the spot.

But I didn't know the target

was the son of the late Emperor.

So now,

are you following orders

or defying them?

This situation is far more complicated

than I anticipated.

I haven't figured it all out yet.

I still want to know what you will do.

The late Emperor was a tyrant.

So what?

What does it have to do with the son of the late Emperor?

The General was loyal to the late Emperor.

They are a bunch of accomplices to his tyranny.

I see.

So you're worried

if the son of the late Emperor returns,

it will bolster the General's power.

And maybe,

he'll even kill your father and brothers.

So, you'd still kill the son of the late Emperor,

right?

General and Mingyi Manor colluded to destroy the Mo Clan,

wasn't it?

That's something everyone in power knows.

Then doesn't your father

working with Mingyi Manor

prove that

he's no saint either?

I get why you'd resent us,

but you can't have it both ways.

See?

When it comes to these things,

you're sharp and insightful.

Good.

I'd rather stay naive.

Naivety brings its own blessings.

Sometimes,

I really envy Hu Jiao.

Who said I'm naive?

I'm so smart and quick-witted.

Where's the naive part in that?

Gan Pu,

come hunting with us.

We've been at it all day and haven't caught a thing.

Take a seat first. It's raining outside.

Stupid weather.

It started raining all of a sudden.

Let's wait for it to stop before heading out.

Let me take a break as well.

Have some hot tea.

Try it.

Your tea's awful—terrible, really—

but it's surprisingly refreshing.

You really got a big heart.

At a time like this,

you're still doing errands for those ruffians.

Why are you the only one back?

Hu Jiao and I didn't catch a thing.

She went to find Gan Pu to go hunting.

Give it to me.

You two go have some tea.

I'll handle things here.

Go on, have some tea.

Gan Pu and Wang Yishao

are probably having tea right now.

Didn't you just say

Hu Jiao dragged Gan Pu off to go hunting?

Hu Jiao's worn out.

She's probably still resting.

I'll take care of things here.

What are you waiting for?

Gan Pu and Wang Yishao are having tea!

Okay then.

Fine.

Look at Hong Hui, wandering around like he's lost his soul.

What's wrong with you?

Why do you look more natural in men's clothing than in women's?

Before I came to Mingyi Manor,

I always dressed as a man.

No wonder.

Hong Hui.

Can you stop acting like a teacher all the time?

You look so punchable.

Pepper.

Stop bullying Hong Hui.

He's a grown man,

but now he's like a lamb.

Aren't you tired of it?

How would I know?

I see him, and I just lose my temper.

That's what you call flirting with insults.

Nonsense!

Don't make me hit you!

Stop!

Stop it and come back.

I'm so mad!

I just saved up some energy, but it's gone again.

The hunting crew's all here.

How could it be a man?

How could it be a man?

Hong Hui.

What's wrong?

Is there a problem?

What's wrong?

I have something to tell you.

I'll be going now.

I told you he's sick.

He's having an episode and ran off.

But don't worry.

He'll be back.

Stop being so snarky!

Alright, alright.

Don't take it to heart.

Let's head up the mountain—I'll teach you how to hunt.

Qing Cai.

You and Gan Pu make the perfect hunting pair.

Let's go together.

Let's go.

You two enjoy your tea.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Your expression just now seemed off.

Do you know what's going on with Hong Hui?

You should ask him yourself.

I've always felt

that you know things

but refuse to tell me.

Maybe Hong Hui knows by now too?

If you already know that,

then you shouldn't ask me.

"Virtue wins allies,

lack of virtue loses support."

That's why I didn't force you.

If you push Hong Hui too hard,

you'll lose a friend.

You should judge for yourself.

So many people have figured out

the truth about something.

Why can't I see it?

What am I missing?

I'm not going to give you any hints,

so don't bother probing me indirectly.

But you're right.

Virtue wins allies.

Even though our orders are different,

I won't deceive myself like you do.

Is this something Gan Pu left here,

or did she lose it?

Probably something she dropped.

You should return it to her.

Looks like you're not making any progress with her.

She treats me like a brother now—

completely shutting me out.

I'll return it to her for you.

This is my sachet.

Would you accept it?

This is one of the older designs, isn't it?

They don't make this pattern anymore.

You've seen that sachet shop, right?

I went there with Gan Pu last time in town.

You can't return someone's sachet

after accepting it.

That's just cruel.

You'll have to keep one of these two.

I didn't accept it.

I was just curious,

comparing the two.

Give this to her.

This is my sachet.

So,

you can be pretty dark too.

Just balancing the scales.

Though people are different,

from

a medical perspective,

commonalities outweigh differences.

Using your medical knowledge to deceive yourself?

I agree.

I'll return it to her for you.

But

you're ruthless.

You've never been ordinary.

I see.

This is my punishment for not cooperating with you.

Finally remembered me, have you?

Ever since the prison break,

you stopped sharing information with me.

Today, your group's movements seem unusual.

Did you discover something?

Your instincts are sharp.

Yes,

but I'm completely in the dark.

You? In the dark?

That's rare.

Aren't you usually

the first to notice something's wrong?

Not necessarily.

Everyone has their own specialties.

So,

your team's already falling apart.

We were never united to begin with—

just like you and me.

It's merely a collaboration in certain areas.

So, what do you think we've overlooked?

From the start,

who did we think was the most suspicious?

Qing Cai.

He's full of flaws,

constantly contradicting himself.

The key point is that other than appearances,

he's nothing like a woman.

But his identity as a woman

has been confirmed by everyone.

But what if, from the very beginning,

everyone was lying?

Why would everyone lie for him?

Everyone has their reasons, I suppose.

If everyone's lying,

we'd have to analyze their motives one by one.

Why not just verify it directly?

If he's a man,

then it's almost certain

he's the son of the late Emperor.

Otherwise, there'd be no reason to disguise himself as a woman.

That's true.

He's deeply concerned about his father,

yet he lacks support or power.

All he can do is take risks alone.

So,

can we still afford to act recklessly?

Besides,

our stances

on this matter

might not align.

Are you worried about

how your faction might react?

If I find the person,

they won't dare hide the truth.

Besides,

the son of the late Emperor

is like a hot potato right now.

I'm curious, though.

Others might have

their own agendas,

but would Hu Jiao lie?

She's the least likely person to lie.

How could she possibly be a man?

We all bathed together.

All of you?

Of course.

We all bathed together—nothing to hide.

This is getting more and more complicated.

Let's keep observing.

Hopefully, this won't

escalate into open conflict between us.

Why do you think

it might come to that?

This isn't just about a single life.

In a nest of snakes,

you never know

when you'll get bitten.

Spread a bit more of that.

Cover it with leaves more densely.

This is so much work.

Yes.

Add more later.

Cover it up well.

Not bad, right?

Don't get cocky.

Once I've learned this,

I'll catch you and make chicken soup out of you.

This pit trap

can only catch ground animals.

It's useless for wild pheasants.

Can't catch them, huh?

Is she completely crazy?

You can do this kind of work?

I thought you were always lofty and above it all.

You're the disciple of the Fairy Doctor.

I think you're halfway to being a miracle physician.

I started out processing herbs.

Where's the loftiness in that?

I've done all kinds of odd jobs.

I see.

My master always said,

"Those of the lowest station often possess the greatest wisdom."

To gain wisdom,

one must practice hands-on.

He lived by that principle.

He said it helped him stay grounded.

Even the Fairy Doctor does that?

Hard to imagine.

Someone so high-ranking

doing such humble tasks.

My master's wife is the complete opposite.

She never does any chores.

She used to say, "I'll take intelligence over wisdom any day."

She let me choose for myself.

And you chose wisdom.

I bet

your master's wife had quite a temper.

You're right.

She said the least wise person is someone like her—

always impatient

and loves scolding others.

She never lifts a finger for chores

and only cares about her own comfort,

regardless of whether others resent her.

Is she still around?

They're both very long-lived.

I know what you mean.

It seems only good-tempered people can live long.

But my master said

a person's temperament doesn't determine their lifespan.

What matters is self-awareness—

knowing who you are

and following your nature.

That sounds odd, no matter how you put it.

Your master's wife must be quite annoying.

She knows she's unlikeable,

so she avoids people as much as possible.

She also said

the real disaster

is when people don't realize

how irritating they are.

She has never wanted to change?

It's a matter

of perspective.

She said

she didn't want to change herself.

She openly admitted she was a "bad person,"

so she enjoyed

studying harmful poisons.

But she has never harmed anyone.

I think my master kept her in check.

So,

they sound like a perfect match.

Yes.

She even said if

it weren't for him,

she probably would've been beaten to death long ago.

Aizhen, look.

The rooms are mostly tidied up.

Time to divide them.

Then I'm taking the biggest one.

Sneaky!

Fine, I'll go prepare the wild game.

You guys handle the fire.

Okay.

Good evening, everyone.

Qing Cai.

Gan Pu.

I know you're staying in single rooms tonight,

so I brought you some candles.

You can keep them burning through the night.

I'm really a rough person.

I didn't even think of that.

Let me know when they run out,

and I'll bring more.

Okay, thank you.

You're so considerate.

They'll be useful.

You guys start the fire.

Fine. What's with the attitude?

I'll help.

Let me help.

Be careful.

Gan Pu.

Take a look.

Is this what you lost earlier?

Is it my sachet?

It seems to be mine.

Thank you, Gao Yin.

I'll leave the candles in your room.

Okay.

I'll keep working on the fire.

Seeing you all in men's clothes

is still a bit jarring.

You're just not used to it yet.

It's funny though.

But honestly, wearing men's or women's clothes

isn't that different—clothes are just clothes.

Men and women don't dress alike.

Men and women don't sit together.

Society decides these things. But you don't care that much.

In a place like Mingyi Manor,

you can be free.

But if we were in the royal city,

I'd be mindful of appearances

to keep you from being criticized.

So that's why you hang out with

free-spirited types like Hong Hui and Zhang Fang—

to enjoy a laid-back life?

Young Master Wang,

if you're willing to befriend someone eccentric like Hong Hui,

you must be a bit unconventional yourself.

I have something to handle.

I'm leaving.

Hong Hui.

How dare you ruin my sight

with that appearance?

Get out!

He...

What's wrong with him?

Is he dead?

No, just exhausted

and weak right now.

Someone fetch water.

I'll go.

Is he really fine?

He's okay.

Hu Jiao.

You're always so jumpy.

You made me think you killed him.

I only realized something was off after kicking him—

he didn't feel alive.

Don't talk nonsense.

Have you ever thrown a corpse before?

He was running like crazy earlier,

almost to the point of collapse,

and crawled the rest of the way here.

Stop pretending. Get up.

Here's the water.

How do you feel?

Why am I so dizzy?

He's too weak.

Someone will need to take care of him tonight.

I... I'll do it.

Let me do it.

Let me.

I owe him.

Get up.

Get up.

Don't help him. Come here.

Slow down.

Come with me.

He's fine.

I won't stay for dinner.

Goodbye.

Lie down.

Gao Yin, are you sure he's okay?

Can you check again?

Please, just check again for me.

I didn't expect you to be so fickle.

I've misjudged you.

Why are you acting weird all night?

What are you talking about?

Do you misunderstand me?

Don't play dumb.

You're way too close to that Second Prince.

What's there to misunderstand?

Don't be like this.

I told her to do it.

She didn't do anything wrong.

You told her?

This...

Anyway,

don't get involved in this.

She really didn't do anything wrong.

Oh, I see. You're trying to be like me—

giving up the one you love.

I had no choice.

But you're different from her.

You liked her from the beginning,

so I gave you two my blessings.

She liked you as well.

And now, just after one day, she's changed her mind?

Nobody's changed their mind.

You're misunderstanding everything.

Nothing's going on between me and him.

You don't like him, yet you're all smiles and laughter with him?

When Qing Cai tried so hard to persuade you to stay,

you refused, but as soon as he spoke, you stayed.

I...

Aizhen.

Stop this, please.

You know Gan Pu's situation—

she just can't face me.

That's why she left.

Besides,

Wang Yishao brought her back.

I haven't even thanked him yet.

I'm defending you.

Go thank him, then!

Don't blame her.

You know her personality.

I don't blame her.

It's not what she thinks.

When I left,

I regretted it immediately.

I didn't know what I was doing

or where I was going.

I felt completely lost,

like the world was so big

but I was all alone.

That's when I realized

I had to come back.

It has nothing to do with Wang Yishao.

Well,

I have a question.

I hope you'll answer honestly.

Go ahead.

What do you think of Wang Yishao?

Why are you asking that?

He's a nice guy.

I see him as a friend.

That's all.

So,

you're just putting yourself through this.

That must be hard.

You and Han Aizhen really love

projecting your thoughts onto others.

Did I say that?

You're acting so weird.

I'm hungry.

Here.

I thought you were full from being angry.

Turns out you still know what hunger feels like.

I've calmed down.

He's fine.

Take good care of him tonight.

Really?

I'll leave now.

Don't go.

Who's going to help me watch over him if you leave?

Take care of him for me for a while.

I'll grab him some food.

I'm going.

Here.

I'm full.

You're such a big guy, yet you eat like a baby chick.

You've barely eaten anything!

Eat it.

Finish it and drink the water.

Gao Yin's orders.

I already drank a whole bowl of water.

Get up.

Get up.

Drink it.

Drink.

Just drink!

What are you looking at?

Trying to find an escape route?

I just think it's dangerous here.

Eat it.

Eat!

Eat it!

Big bites!

What's up with you today?

I've recovered.

I was just exhausted and dazed earlier,

but I'm fine now.

I just want to go for a walk.

At least you came up with an excuse.

But for your safety,

I'll tag along.

Can't have you tripping and dying out there

and leaving me to take the blame.

I wouldn't blame you!

Of course you wouldn't!

If you're dead, you can't blame anyone.

I'm worried about others blaming me.

Fine, follow me then.

No.

To prevent you from running off,

I need to take precautions.

Come here.

Come here.

Come here.

You are...

Why did you tie Hong Hui up?

He wanted to take a walk,

so I'm "accompanying" him.

That's quite a special kind of walk.

You're not planning to lure him out

and bury him alive, are you?

You know, the kind where the body's never found?

I'm tying him up to keep him

from dying out there.

I think

if Hong Hui sticks with you,

he's destined for an early grave.

Let's go.

Come here.

Stop looking.

Be gentle.

Come here.

Poor Hong Hui,

being led around like a little puppy.

I really feel for him.

Who would've thought that the quirky, funny Hong Hui

from class would end up like this?

She's just in a bad mood today.

Don't take it personally.

Actually,

Hong Hui already knows who I am.

No wonder he looked so devastated when he saw you.

It seems like he wanted to

report your identity to Wang Yishao

but managed to hold back.

That's why he lost control earlier.

This is serious.

If even Hong Hui knows,

the secret won't hold for long.

Qing Cai, we need to leave.

But if I leave, what about Father?

I can't just leave him here alone.

If Father were here,

he'd want you to go.

I'm just a worthless life.

It's nothing significant.

How can you degrade yourself like this?

Father and I risked our lives to protect you.

If your life is worthless, what does that make ours?

And now, look at this mess—

Father is in danger, and so are you.

You've left the choice to me.

What am I supposed to do?

Aizhen, don't worry.

I'll protect Qing Cai.

We'll die If we have to die, we die together.

I heard everything

you just said.

Do you know something?

It's only been a few days.

And you already seem like a stranger to yourself.

I can't compare to you,

cutting ties with the filth

of the mundane world so cleanly.

Who can live in this world

without some stain?

It's just that I don't want to let the dust pile up more than it already has.

Dust to dust, ashes to ashes.

Everything is void.

Don't worry.

What's the matter with you?

You're the one who wanted to come out,

and now you're already tired after a few steps?

I drank too much water.

What do you mean? Are you going to throw up?

Not exactly…

What do you mean?

Okay, I'll turn around.

Such trouble.

What are you doing?

Why are you standing there?

What if after I untie you, you run away?

Just one hand.

Fine, I'll untie one hand.

But if both your hands

so much as touch,

I'll make sure you regret it.

Are you turning around or not?

How can I make sure you're not breaking the rules

if I'm not watching?

I can let it out

with you staring at me.

Hold it then!

Come here.

Gao Yin,

if Wang Yishao finds out about Qing Cai's identity,

what will he do?

He might report it to Mingyi Manor,

or he could secretly send word back.

If Mingyi Manor finds out,

I'll have no chance of escape.

Which option seems more likely?

Sending word back secretly.

It sounds like Mingyi Manor and your faction

aren't as close as they once were.

That's just my guess.

Qing Cai,

are you really going to take such a huge risk

by staying here?

How did Hong Hui find out?

That doesn't make sense.

Zhang Fang.

Zhang Fang?

That beggar?

Zhang Fang is not a beggar.

He's a wandering master.

If it weren't for seeing Hong Hui too deep in the act,

he wouldn't have said a word.

How ironic.

The sharpest of us all, Wang Yishao,

ends up being the last to know.

Not necessarily.

If it weren't for some unexpected events,

with his sharp mind,

he might've been the first to figure it out.

Wasn't it you who figured it out first?

I'm a doctor.

From the moment I met you, I could tell you were a man.

Does Zhang Fang know medicine, too?

No.

But as a master,

he must have some unique skills.

So he's known all along, but he only said something

when he couldn't stand watching anymore?

Actually, Hongxiu knows too.

Yes.

But your behavior that day

confused everyone.

If not for

the others covering for you,

your identity would've been exposed.

The Martial Arts World is too dangerous.

Gao Yin,

I have a question.

Since you knew from the start that Qing Cai was a man,

why did you follow him to the town?

That's my question too.

I just wanted to see if you were some rogue

trying to take advantage of us.

Showing myself

was also a test to see how you'd react.

Weren't you worried I'd kill you?

Not with the precautions I had in place.

You couldn't kill me.

Looks like

it's a miracle I'm still alive.

Exactly, so you'd better treasure it and live well.

You...

Let's go. Let's go.

Stop dawdling and get moving!
