♪Mesmerized by the dream,
woven with joy and sorrow♪

♪Who is testing my sentiment?♪

[Love in Flames of War]

[Adapted from Love in a Fallen City by Lingxi]

[Episode 5]

Mrs. Xu.

You haven't visited us in a long time.

Because of Zijun, Third Young Master

was beaten up by Commander Xiao.

I was too ashamed to visit.

It's nothing serious for a boy to be beaten up.

That's right.

Let me tell you.

My daughter, Fengqi, sent a telegram all the way

from Paris, France.

It has 25 words in total.

Twenty words of them

are about Third Young Master's injury.

That is so thoughtful of her.

When she comes back, bring her here.

Let's not talk about her anymore.

I'm so mad when I talk about her.

She's a young lady.

But look at what she did.

Why did she insist on studying abroad?

No matter how educated she is,

it's still better for her
to find a good husband.

Don't you think so too?

Yunyi, ask Hangjing to come here.

She has nice handwriting.

Ask her to copy the sutra for me.

Yes, Madam.

Character of three.

Miss Fengqi is ambitious.

She's from a good family, she's beautiful,

she's studying abroad
and she has seen the world.

No other ladies are her match.

Thank you.

Mrs. Xu, well said.

My Fengqi is really considerate.

She brought back

a lot of perfume balms
from Paris for all of you.

By the way,

Madam Qi,

she especially asked me

to give you a lipstick from Max Factor.

Please thank her for me.

Chow.

Why did you declare chow?

You have to depend on your own luck,

not by taking others' tile.

I can't believe you.

Hangjing.

Aunt Qi.

Good day, Madams.

Hangjing.

You have nice handwriting.
Please copy the sutra for me.

Copy the Diamond Sutra for me.

Okay.

Hangjing.

Don't get too close to it.

I don't want you to hurt your eyes.

Okay.

You treat Miss Lin

like your own daughter, Madam Qi.

I won't be able to give birth
to such an amazing lady.

Beiyi and Beiwang are too young.

If they were older,

it would be nice if one of them could marry her.

I wonder who will be so fortunate

to take Hangjing as his wife.

Calling Mahjong.

Calling Mahjong?

Madam Zheng.

Aren't you going to go for Pure Hand?

Why should I?

I discarded the wrong tile just now.
I was too ambitious.

Now, I think I'd better be more down-to-earth.

I should win while I can.

I need to earn back what I lost first.

Or else, it won't be worth it.

Fine, you won.

[Diamond Sutra]

Famous calligraphy and paintings.

Calligraphy and paintings.

It's not that hard to apologise.

Miss Hangjing is here!

Miss Hangjing is here!

Hi, everyone.

Miss Hangjing is here.

I've brought some candies for you.

Here distribute them.

[Beixin Orphanage]

Miss Hangjing, sing a song for us.

That's right.

Sing for us.

Sing a song.

Okay. Then, I'll sing a song named Farewell.

Its lyrics were created by Li Shutong.

Okay?

Yes!

♪Outside of the pavilion
and along the ancient path♪

♪The grass is blended into the sky♪

Xiao Beichen, can you stop or not?

What did I do to offend you?

Can't you just leave me be?

I'm here to apologise to you.

I'm sorry for everything

that happened at the courtesan house last time.

I don't want to hear about that anymore.

From now on, we'll acknowledge each other
when we are in the residence.

But let's treat each other as strangers
when we are outside.

I didn't mean to force myself on you.

But do you have to be like this?

We don't have to become enemies.

But we can never be friends.

Third Young Master, Miss Lin.

Please come back with me now.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Let go of me.

Miss Lin.

Third Young Master.

Zhang, get in the car in front.

Okay.

How long are you going to keep this on?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

This is bad!

Third Young Master, take this.

Take it to defend yourself!

Hurry up! Take it!

Third Young Master, run!

Be careful!

This way.

Follow me!

Let's go.

How is it?

Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

Be careful!

Hangjing.

Hangjing!

Third Young Master, are you okay?

Hangjing!

[Beixin Jihe Hospital]

[Ward]

[Ongoing Surgery]

Dr. Huang, how is she?

We've already extracted the bullet.

And we've cleaned up the wound.

After the anaesthetic wears off,

Miss Lin can be discharged.

Thank you.

Thank you for your hard work.

It's my duty, Madam Qi.

Thank God.

Hangjing has survived this calamity.

She's okay now.

She's okay now.

Commander.

There were seven assassins
who came after Third Young Master.

Six were shot to death on the spot.

The last one has been caught.

Who are they?

Do you remember the rebels

that Warlord Jin asked you
to execute before this?

Those people were their family.

They wouldn't dare to attack Beichen like this.

I understand.

Someone must have instigated them in secret.

Continue to investigate.

I want answers when I go back.

Yes, Commander.

The people of Xiao have been arresting
all suspicious-looking people lately.

We need to change our rendezvous point.

The less crowded, the better.

What about the guns
that were used by the assassins?

Will they be a problem?

Don't worry.

Those are illegal guns
that are not under any records.

They won't be able to track them in Beixin.

That Xiao

didn't suspect you, right?

No.

Do we proceed then?

The security is too tight right now.
We have to stop for now.

Dr. Huang, her temperature
has gone back to normal.

Her fever has gone down.

I think she's fine now.

Don't worry.

Madam Qi.

It's better to let the patient rest.

All of you should go back first.

We have nurses on duty

around the clock.

We'll check on her from time to time.

Okay. Thank you, Dr. Huang.

It's just my duty.

Beichen.

You should go back to rest.

We'll stay here.

Yes.

She's hurt because of me.

I want to see her wake up with my own eyes.

Enough. It has been decided.

You should go back now.

[Beixin Jihe Hospital]

I can't believe you, Lin Hangjing.

You are dodging me even in your sleep.

You are awake.

How do you feel?

The doctor said

that the anaesthetic on your hand
had already worn off.

You'll be in pain after this.

You have to endure it for now.

I'll go and get the doctor for you.

Doctor!

Was that the foolproof plan that you meant?

Please calm down, Commander.

It was my fault

that we failed to assassinate Xiao Beichen.

Next time.

Next time, I won't fail again.

Next time?

We fail once,

and the Xiao family will put their guards up.

We better lay low for now.

Based on what I know,

Yang Gongcheng, controlling the four areas
of West Shandong, had led his Cheng Army

to conquer Haitian Town and Donggu Town

in the north of the southern border.

They are now acting as his stepping stones

to send the Cheng Army toward Huyang Pass.

The warlords are discussing
the countermeasures as we speak.

The Cheng Army has cast covetous eyes

on the Qingshan Iron Mine in Zhibei.

And Huyang Pass

is a vital entry point to Qingshan Iron Mine.

For many years,

they've been trying to attack it
dozens of times.

But those were just exploratory attacks.

There weren't full-fledged attacks.

But based on their siege right now,

I think they are going to attack it for real.

Taking over Qingshan Iron Mine
is just part of his plan.

Yang Gongcheng's goal

is to take over the whole Zhibei area.

If there's a war,

who do you think the warlord will send?

If he sends Xiao Haishan,

we can use their army

to greatly weaken the power of the Xiao Army.

You are smart this time.

But the warlord dotes on Xiao Haishan so much.

Will he send him there?

Doubt

is like a seed.

We had already planted the seed of doubt.

Now, we just need it

to take roots in the warlord's heart

and sprout.

Be careful.

My legs are not injured.

I can walk by myself.

Don't talk.

Stay still.

Young Master, we have a wheelchair.

I don't need it.

Hurry up and go in.

Hangjing, how are you feeling?

Thank you.

Hangjing, how are you?

Are you hungry?

Do you want to eat something?

I've asked our cook
to make a squab stew for you.

It'll be good for your recovery.

Yunyi, go and check

if the soup is ready.

Yes, Madam.

Thank you, Aunt Qi.

Why are you thanking me?

The Xiao family should thank you instead.

You saved Beichen.

They say that one who survives a great disaster
is destined for good fortune.

After this,

you can just enjoy your fortune.

Am I right, Beichen?

Hangjing is fine now.

But you are in a bad state.

What did you say just now, Aunt Qi?

I asked you to clean yourself up.

After you are done,

come and take care of your sister.

Do I smell?

I'll get myself cleaned up then.

I'll be back later.

How is it going with the investigation
on Beichen's assassination?

The family member of the rebel who we caught
has committed suicide.

And we've come to a dead-end with the guns.

Could it be Kang Jingxiong behind this...

Even if it's him,

we don't have any evidence.

But Third Young Master almost died this time.

Are we just going to forget it?

Taking revenge

is so simple.

We can't be so short-sighted now.

If we take one wrong step,

it'll mean death.

And it may affect other innocent people.

Kang Jingxiong has a special relationship
with the warlord.

If we attack him now,

it'll only bring us harm.

So, we should just endure it?

We have to.

Listen to me. From today onward,

we need to strengthen the defense
in the residence.

Make sure that nothing happens.

Yes, Commander.

Third Young Master.

I heard that Hangjing had come home.

I was about to visit her.

Are you okay?

I heard what you said just now.

You said that those assassins
were the family members of the rebels.

I grounded you.

But what did you do?

You went out

and almost got killed.

Yes.

Look at what I did.

You asked me to stay at home.

But I ran out.

You have so many military affairs
to take care of.

But you still have to worry about me.

It was so sinful of me.

What's the point of saying
these useless things right now?

Do you know that you almost died?

But the one who died

was killed by me.

Why?

You killed their families.

And they were here to avenge their families.

It was their right!

I should've let him

shoot me to death.

Then, you would feel at ease.

You scoundrel!

They were rebels.

They deserved it.

What did they do wrong?

What did I do wrong?

How did I become a killer?

You are my son.

Sooner or later,
you'll have to walk on this path.

Just because I'm your son?

Because you are Xiao Haishan,

Commander Xiao,

so his son should become

a heartless killer?

Because she was your wife,

so she should be shot to death?

Back then, did my mother

die with that awareness

in mind?

Why are you talking about her right now?

Nothing.

I'm just afraid that if I don't mention her,
you'll forget about her.

Save it.

Back then, my mother brought me

to Beixin all the way from Shengjing.

From my memory,

you hadn't seen her for five years, right?

She was so happy back then.

She kept asking me this.

"You are going to see your father soon."

"Are you happy?"

I knew

that she was the happy one.

She wanted to see you.

But I

had no memory of you.

I just knew that I had a father.

And that father

was the reason my mother
cried every day for those five years.

Ten years ago,

I watched my mother

being shot to death, but why?

Because she was Xiao Haishan's wife.

Because of you,

she gave up

on everything willingly.

Her only wish

was for you to watch her last performance.

But what awaited her

was not her husband.

But a bullet from your enemy.

You didn't even show up

when she last closed her eyes in resentment.

Beichen.

I had done your mother wrong.

But I've never forgotten about her.

She's already gone.

What's the point of remembering her?

People like you
who are always fighting and killing

look like they have undisputed authority.

But actually, you are always in danger.

They want to kill me today

because I am your son.

You have destroyed

others' family.

And my family

is long gone.

From a small soldier

to a commander to a general.

And even the Premier and the Chairman

are being dragged into this.

No one can get out.

Even if you can get out,

you'll lose everything.

If a general

is too emotionally attached,

he'll achieve nothing.

A person who doesn't respect life

and value emotions

can never be a general.

Fine.

I'll wait for you.

I want to see

what you can learn from the military school.

Beichen, I know

that you are estranged from your father

because of your mother.

Aunt Qi.

If you are here just to talk about him,

you can save it.

Look at how stubborn you are.

You were young back then.

There were many things
that he wouldn't let me tell you.

So, I didn't tell you.

On the day of your mother's last performance,

your father did try to go back.

Back then, your father and the warlord

had just taken over Beixin,
and it was less than a year.

But he was already anxious to go back to you.

However, the enemy's general came back.

In order to defend the area,
your father had no choice but to go into battle.

It was a victory.

On his way back, he was ambushed.

Your father was injured.

When he woke up from the hospital,

your mother...

Don't try to defend him.

If it was true,

why didn't he

mention about it all these years?

Because he has never forgiven himself

for your mother's death.

He says

that he doesn't want to give an excuse.

Disappointing Huilan

has become his lifelong guilt.

I know that you are hurting inside.

But I believe that one day,

you'll be able to understand

the misery that your father feels
in his position.

Aunt Qi,

maybe when I'm in his position

one day,

I'll be able to understand.

But now,

that's impossible.

I know that you are shy.

She's alone inside.

It's just her.

Go in and talk to her.

I'll leave for now.

Xu Zijun!

Talk to her properly.

Xu Zijun!

Go and talk to her.

Talk nicely.

Be good.

Shuyi.

Do you need anything from me?

I'm here to borrow a book from you.

This one?

Yes. This one.

-Let go of the door.
-No.

Let me out!

You haven't talked properly with her yet.

Why did you just borrow a book from her?

Hurry up.

Go now.

Be good. Go.

Since you saved Beichen,

I have something to tell you.

Actually,

I'm the one who sent you to the courtesan house.

It wasn't Beichen.

But I really didn't know that the place was...

Forget it. I did it. I don't need an excuse.

Anyway, I'm the one who made the mistake.

So, please stop blaming Beichen for it.

I'm sorry.

Here, let me open the door for you.

Are you satisfied now?

Precisely.

You are the best.

Die!

Beichen, your father has sent us a letter.

He's going to bring us to Beixin City.

I've never seen him before.

Your father is busy.

But he dotes on you a lot.

After this,

we can be together every day.

Huilan.

Are you really going to stop performing?

This has been your passion
since you were young.

Unfortunately, you are not a man.

Or else, with your talent,

you would've become a famous performer.

Senior, I've already made up my mind.

After marrying Haishan,

my only wish

is for our family

to have a good life together.

If you didn't bring

the whole Chengyuan Opera Troupe

to Beixin for old time's sake,

we wouldn't have stayed here.

But now, you want to quit.

Senior.

Please prepare for me.

I want to perform for one last time.

Okay.

I'll get going now.

Thank you.

Mother, you look so beautiful.

Beichen.

Your father has promised
to watch my last performance today.

He always goes back on his words.

He'll be here today.

Fine.

Good boy.

Amazing!

Great!

Amazing, mother!

Great!

Great!

Mother!

Amazing!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

Father, where are you?

Father!

Father.

Father, where are you?

Mother.

Mother!

Hangjing, why are you standing here?

Aunt Qi.

What's wrong with Beichen?

He

misses his late mother.

Aunt Qi.

How did Beichen's mother pass away?

It's a long story.

It's something

both he and the commander don't talk about.

Hangjing,

sometimes, you can't just

judge someone from the cover.

If you try to know him better, you'll find out

that both of you are very similar.

[Dongping]

The two armies are at a standstill
for several days.

It's so unfortunate the great Chinese nation

is being humiliated by our foreign neighbour.

In the end, the people are the ones

who are suffering.

Well said!

Well said!

Well said!

This is...

Sir.

What is happening in front of there?

They are so many people.

That's a storyteller.

What story is he telling?

They are talking about the Ying Army.

His stories are so interesting.

Xiao Haishan's Ying Army?

Yes.

Commander Xiao has won the war

and protected the people with his Ying Army.

I think the storyteller

has written all the stories into books.

I can't talk anymore.

It's time for the stories.

Warlord.

Let's check it out.

Warlord, it's not a good idea.
There are too many people.

The Han Army was totally defeated by them.

They were utterly destroyed.

Well said!

While the Han Army was escaping...

Please move aside.

Please move aside.

They put the village on fire.

In order the save the people,

more than 30 soldiers of the Ying Army

had sacrificed their lives.

The Ying Army is so kind.

They are saints.

Amazing!

In Zhibei,

Commander Xiao Haishan

is the only hero here!

Long live the Ying Army!

Long live the Ying Army!

Long live the Ying Army!

Warlord, this...

Long live the Ying Army!

Long live the Ying Army!

The people love Xiao Haishan.

They even put his stories into a book.

This is a good thing.

I feel proud of it.

Young Master Xu, Young Master Mo.

He has booked the whole place again.

Let's go.

Beichen, what are you doing?

Are you alone?

Did the commander ground you again?

What are you talking about?

I just want to be alone.

So, I chased the others away.

It has always been the more the merrier for you.

But now, you want to be alone?

Enough.

We know that you've been lectured
by the commander.

Drink a cup of tea

and stop being mad.

Beichen.

What did the commander
say about the military school?

He says that I have to go.

That's good.

You can go without worry.

You can leave

the Luminous Jade and all the ladies in Beixin

to Cunning Mo.

Okay?

What are you doing?

I heard that you are going to be enrolled
after New Year.

Although there isn't much time,

luckily, the Lingxi Lantern Festival
will be here soon.

Why do you look so perverted?

How is the Lingxi Lantern Festival

related to me enrolling
into the military school?

The Lingxi Lantern Festival is the day
when men and women profess their love.

It's a great time for you to confess your love.

You have to celebrate the festival

together with her.

Then, make your relationship official.

That way, you can go
to the military school without worries.

Enough.

She

won't attend it.

And I don't plan to invite her.

Yes. We know.

You don't like her at all.

Now, we think

that she likes you.

What?

Are you saying that Lin Hangjing likes me?

Yes.

With my experience,

for a girl,

the more she hates someone,
the more she cares for him.

So, if she hates someone the most,
it means that she cares for him the most.

Or else, why did she risk her life

to take the bullet for you?

That makes sense.

As for why she keeps on saying

untruthful things...

There's only one reason.

Shyness.

She's shy.

How about this?

If Miss Lin accepts your invitation,

it means that she cares about you.

Then, everything will just fall into place.

Enough.

Both of you shouldn't waste your effort.

She won't go.

What do you want us to do then?

You don't have to do anything.

We'll take care of it for you.

Don't worry.

Leave it to Doofus Xu and me.

Everything will go as planned.

Let's appreciate the performance.

Let's appreciate the performance.

Appreciate the performance.

[Shengyi Girls School]

Will you attend the Lingxi Lantern Festival?

I want to go.

But what's the point of going alone?

We need an invite.

I want to go.

But I already have a fiance.

I can't go.

Miss Lin.

Miss Lin.

Why are you looking for me?

It's like this.

The Lingxi Lantern Festival

will begin in a few days.

This is a huge event

in Beixin City.

Huge event.

When the time comes,
the whole city will be lit up.

It'll be beautiful.

We are here

to ask you

whether or not

you would like to attend it
with Third Young Master.

Is this an invite from him?

No.

It's what we want.

Yes. Just us.

Don't misunderstand.

I'm sorry.

I don't think I can go.

Miss Lin.

Actually, it was just a misunderstanding

between you and Third Young Master.

Besides, because of your wound,

he traveled so far to get the medicine for you.

Can't you accompany him to this festival

to thank him?

That's right.

I'm thankful to him.

But my wound has just recovered.

I don't want to go somewhere crowded.

You don't have to worry.

He will be around you,

and you'll be safe.

Yes. You'll be safe.

Maybe next time.

I still have things to do. I have to go now.

I'm sorry.

Miss Lin, since you are so busy,

I'm sure you don't have time

to read this letter from the south.

[From First Prison in Jiangnan to Lin Hangjing]

It's my father's letter.

Why is it with you?

That's not important.

The point is,

we are going to keep it for you first.

But if you attend the Lingxi Lantern Festival

in all your glory,

we'll give it back to you.

Yes.

You are so despicable.

It's just a negotiation.

This is called being mature.

Mature.

Third Young Master
is always surrounded by girls.

Why does it have to be me?

Miss Lin,

you've misunderstood him.

Beichen

has never gone on a date with a girl.

You are his first.

You are his first.

That's important.

Although

he's always surrounded by different girls,

he's actually

a very innocent boy, right?

Miss Lin.

If you keep quiet,
I'll take it as you've agreed.

See you at the festival.

See you there.

See you there.

Don't be late.

We'll give it back to you.

You...

Bye.

Not bad.
