♪Romantic verses as the preface,
imbued with a sense of forlornness♪

♪Who is copying your notebook?♪

♪Fallen petals on the ground, through generations
of storms they have weathered♪

♪But the fate cannot be abandoned♪

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

♪Who is testing my sentiment?♪

♪In a weiqi game, several pawns have been placed♪

♪The outcome cannot sever love or hatred♪

♪Many years will pass after we depart♪

♪What good are the merry scenes for
without someone to share?♪

♪I try to organize my feelings within love♪

♪But it's too convoluted, too complex♪

♪Feeling the summer breeze with my hand
and plucking the chrysanthemums♪

♪Another season has passed
without a companion♪

♪As I replay the scenes in my loving memory♪

♪The hustle and bustle
conceals all the bumpiness♪

♪Fallen petals turn into the soil,
with this ballad♪

♪I can still see our departure in the dream♪

[Pioneer News Agency]

Amend here.

Here?

Right.

Come in, please.

All right. Get on with your work.

Okay, sir.

Hello, Mr. Lu.

I'm Lin Hangjing.

Lin Hangjing?

Please have a seat.

Thank you.

I've read all your submissions.

I didn't expect you to be so skilled

despite being young.

But anyway,

we're old acquaintances.

But it's our first time meeting each other.

I've read your articles more than once

in the southern city newspaper.

You're Qing Yong, right?

How did you know that?

Qing Yong has a beautiful writing style

but addresses current social problems

boldly and directly.

You've long been famous in the newspaper industry.

I've been following you.

I didn't expect we'd meet today.

Now it's the Republican era.

I want to share my feelings and thoughts

with more people.

Especially women.

Nowadays,

all walks of life are advocating
for women's independence.

I think

women should care
about what's happening in society.

Women should know more about current politics,

society, and the world.

I invite you to come over today

as our newspaper

wants to add a current-affair review column.

Please wait a minute.

Here are some topics. Please have a look.

[Foreign War Situation]

Sir, I've made my choice.

These refugees and orphans

live around us.

They're displaced and homeless.

They need more care and help from us.

I want to speak for them with my articles.

I'm looking forward to your masterpiece.

Mr. Gui.

Third Young Master, what's the matter?

Well,

ask someone to hurry Lin Hangjing up.

Tell her I've been waiting for her.

Miss Lin?

She has gone to the academy.

What?

She's gone?

Yes, she's gone long ago.

I'll get on with my work.

Stop it!

Have mercy!

Go away!

Let's go.

Hurry up.

Are you okay?

All right. I'm glad that you're okay.

My car is over there.

Let's go.

Come on. Get in the car.

Do you know how dangerous it was just now?

Luckily, I arrived in time.

What's wrong with you?

Why are you staring at me?

You never encountered such an occasion.

You're too stunned, right?

Well, fortunately,

I arrived in time.

Come on. Get in.

What are you doing?

What a brave play.

What do you mean?

Didn't you see how dangerous it was?

Where did you buy the tomato sauce?

It smells great.

Does it smell good?

Why don't you taste it?

You pick me up to and from school every day.

Then, you directed and acted in such a play.

What do you want?

A man tries his best to approach a woman.

He's either seeking revenge...

I don't remember

I've offended you.

Or wooing that woman.

I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.

From now on,

please don't waste your time.

I don't need you to bring me to and from school.

Excuse me.

Where are you going, miss?

Xiao's Residence. Thank you.

All right.

You...

Aunt Qi.

I want Hangjing

to spare a few days in a week

to help me with my lessons.

What did you say, Beichen?

You want to catch up with your lessons?

How many words do you know?

Many.

Beichen.

Hangjing is always busy.

Don't joke around.

Aunt Qi.

You've always forced me to study.

I brought it up myself today.

Why are you against it?

Aunt Qi.

I only know a little.

How can I teach others?

You refuse to teach me.

Are you looking down on me?

Beichen.

Then you have to promise me.

Since you asked Hangjing to help you
with your lessons,

you have to go to class every day.

Be persistent with it.

I promise.

I'm still a student.

I don't think I can teach Beichen well.

Hangjing.

Tell me.

Where can I find

such a talented teacher like you?

Hangjing.

Just teach him.

Help Uncle Xiao and I

discipline him.

Let's do it then.

That's the deal.

Let's start today.

Do you think it's funny?

That's not it.

Let me tell you.

Those old-fashioned teachers in my school

are so boring

during the lectures.

I can't focus at all.

Now

there's such a good teacher at home.

I want to study eagerly.

Come on.

Sit down first.

Okay then.

What do you want to ask?

Well...

A few days ago,

my Mandarin teacher

asked us to write a poem about late autumn.

But it's due tomorrow.

Now it's troubling me.

There are many keywords for late autumn.

You can write about the scenery,

the fruits,

and the festivals of late autumn.

How about this?

You can read some poetry collections

for inspiration first.

I have a bad memory.

I suddenly remember

that there are notes in my bookcase.

Help me find them.

I'll help myself with the poem first.

Beichen, what are you doing?

It's just a token of my appreciation.

I hope you'll like it.

I'm sorry.

I'm not used to receiving such expensive gifts.

Don't say that.

I was rude to you.

It's my apology.

If you don't accept it,

that means you don't forgive me.

Since you're sincere,

I won't reject it anymore.

If you like it,

I can give it to you every day.

Since you have trouble writing a poem,

I'll write a poem for you.

You want to write a poem for me?

Yes.

You gave me gifts.

I'll thank you with a poem.

[Ziyun Hotel]

Who are you?

(The waiter.)

Mr. Jin asked us

to give you this letter.

A letter for you.

Has the warlord's instruction changed?

Don't panic.

Go and see what's going on.

Yes, sir.

What?

Shen Changhe was assassinated?

Sir, look at this.

This pass was found

on the roof of the building
where the cartridge case was found.

[Ying Army Pass]
It most likely belongs to the assassin.

Ziyun Hotel, where the incident happened,
is under the governance of Xiao Haishan.

And the Ying Army Pass was found there.

Could it be that Xiao Haishan assigned someone...

What's the reason for the killing?

I haven't found it out yet.

Lieutenant Zhou.

We can't conclude

that Haishan did it just with this pass.

I was too hasty.

I shouldn't doubt Commander Xiao for no reason.

Groundless speculation is certainly wrong.

But now that there's a clue.

Let's investigate it.

Do you mean

investigating Xiao Haishan

to collect more evidence?

Along the way,

I can't do anything wrong

or trust anyone wrongly.

In fact, the enemy isn't frightening.

What's frightening
is to have the wrong people around you.

That's the worst mistake.

You're right, sir.

[Beixin Shenghe Boys' School]

[The rustling autumn wind blows
the leaves of parasol trees, sending chills]

Amazing!

Incredible.

What's wrong?

What's the matter?

Let's find out.

Look at this.

This poem

is innovative

and brilliant.

It's calm yet aggressive.

It has the style of an ancient master.

It's the best poem I've ever read

throughout my long teaching career.

Let me see.

Who's this student?

Xiao's third son.

Well... Did you see it wrongly?

Cut it.

I'm going to post it on the noticeboard.

Beichen, you've changed.

You attend classes every day now.

It's not like you.

He's doing it for Lin

from the opposite school.

How's it going?

Right.

It's been half a month.

When will you bring Miss Lin

to meet us?

Let me tell you.

Everything is under my control.

I'll beat you soon.

How soon is it?

Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?

You, listen.

Think about

when you'll lose your car to me.

All right, Beichen.

Congratulations.

I hope you succeed soon.

What's going on there?

There are many people.

I don't know.

Let's go and take a look.

How artistic. What a good poem.

Yes.

See how great it is.

Third Young Master.

Third Young Master.

Third Young Master.

Beichen.

[Xiao Beichen]

Beichen.

Top poem example.

Of course.

"The rustling autumn wind blows
the leaves of parasol trees, sending chills.

[Top Poem Example]
The north wind sweeps the ground

and countless grasses bend.

The person cannot feel the coldness.

This is likely because he
is cultured and righteous.

All roads in the past have become thorn woods.

The green grass and the flickering mist
are reflected in the sunset.

How far is the mountain from the woods?"

"From the woods."

Nice. Good poem.

Good poem.

Bravo.

Xiao Beichen is a good-for-nothing.

How dare you.

No.

No, Third Young Master.

Third Young Master, see for yourself.

Xiao Beichen is a good-for-nothing.

What are you talking about?

Dismiss.

Are you rebelling?

Go away!

There's nothing to see here.

Let's go.

Why did Shen Changhe come here?

Yes.

He came

and died in our territory.

The warlord's men even

found our Ying Army Pass.

And

the warlord hasn't come to hold us accountable.

I'm a little worried.

There's nothing to worry about.

I have nothing to do with Shen Changhe.

You're innocent.

But won't the warlord doubt us?

Don't think too much.

Stay loyal to the superior.
Train the army and protect the people.

Just do your duty.

You may go now.

All right.

Hangjing.

Where are you going?

Look.

A tribute from the German royal family
to the Qing government.

It took me a lot of effort

to get it from a famous collector.

It suits you.

Try it on.

Beichen, what do you want?

I... Nothing.

My buddies

want to give me a party at Luminous Jade

this Saturday.

Everyone brings a partner.

If you're free,

come with me.

I think you don't lack a partner.

Besides, I've never been to such an occasion.

I'm afraid I'll embarrass you.

Don't say that.

If I'm with you,

no one dares to criticize you.

What's more,

there's no class on Saturday.

Where can you go?

I'm considered your teacher.

Let me tell you one more thing.

The most important thing in learning
is to respect teachers.

Students have no right to interfere
with the teacher's whereabouts.

Have no right to interfere with the teacher's...

Hold on!

Lin Hangjing.

I've been patient enough

with you!

This Saturday.

You've got to go whether you want to or not!

I said I won't go!

[Tingxiang Pavilion]

Mr. Zhou.

We have long-term cooperation with Jin Cheng.

We're very close.

Otherwise, we won't let anyone

access our guests' information.

Thank you very much, sir.

[Collection account: Zhao Xueli;
Remittance account: Xiao Haishan]

Lieutenant Zhou.

I found it.

Mr. Zhou.

Did you find what you want?

Yes.

I'll excuse myself.

Thank you so much.

Okay.

Let's go.

Yes, sir.

From the investigation,

Xiao Haishan once saved

a Chinese Revolutionary Party liaison,
Zhao Xueli.

I didn't expect him to transfer
a huge amount of money to him.

Where did you get it?

I brought the team to Citi Bank

and found it.

Sir.

Now we have the evidence.

How should we deal with Xiao Haishan?

Call Jingxiong.

Ask him to come over quickly.

Okay.

[Collection account: Zhao Xueli;
Remittance account: Xiao Haishan]

[Music Lingering in the Air]

Where's Beichen?

He's inside.

Young Master Xu. Young Master Mo.

Good job.

-Young Master Xu. Young Master Mo.
-Young Master Xu. Young Master Mo.

Young Master Xu. Young Master Mo.

You're here.

Lanlan, Yingying.

Are you going to rehearse?

Yes.

We'll get going.

Beichen.

Beichen.

What did you do yesterday?

Yesterday?

Nothing.

You did nothing.

Why is your face hurt?

I've heard about the Lin family

in Jiangnan long ago.

The teachers in their private schools

aren't ordinary people.

Their daughter

is bold and limitless.

She's

tougher than most men.

Look, Beichen.

Is Luminous Jade going to change its owner?

Stop dreaming.

I never lose in bets.

It's impossible to lose to her.

The bet remains unchanged?

Yes!

You're tough. Very tough.

Thank you, sir.

[Pioneer News Agency]

Newspaper.

Newspaper.

Come here.

Give me Pioneer News.

Newspaper.

[The Displaced Childhood]

[The Displaced Childhood]

Young Lady, Mrs. Sun is here.

She would like you to write a preface for her.

Madam Qi asked you to go to the lobby.

Okay.

(Isn't it the article written by Lin Hangjing?)

Hangjing.

Your article received a warm response

once it was published.

These are the letters from the readers.

[To Qing Yong]
They expressed their concern for the children.

They wish to do something for them.

There is always warmth in this world.

In fact,

we've been planning to build an orphanage.

The editors came up with many ways.

Fundraising activities will be held shortly.

I believe it'll be achieved as soon as possible

with the current widespread social concern.

That's great.

With the orphanage,

the children can have a stable place to stay.

Mr. Lu.

I also want to join the fundraising activities.

I'll do my best.

Okay.

You're welcome to join us.

Please keep working hard

on the following column.

Thank you.

Three dots.

Nine dots.

Pong.

You're so lucky.

Eight characters.

Pong.

You know what?

The gold on the black market

has now risen by 30%.

What's going on?

Zheng told me

that there is still a strife
within the government.

I don't know what's happening.

Who will win then?

Madam Qi.

Commander Xiao

is the Commander-in-Chief
of the Zhibei Delta Army.

Didn't you hear some news?

Those men

may fight today and reconcile the next day.

How would I know?

We women will just play mahjong.

Everything will be fine.

Third Young Master is back.

Aunt Qi.

I think it's better for Xiao Rong

to send the dinner to the west hall.

I'll eat with Hangjing there.

Why?

I want to spend more time with Hangjing.

That's it.

The Third Young Master of your family

is already getting along so well with Miss Lin?

Hangjing is such a good girl.

Everyone wants to get along with her.

Winning hand.

Pure suit. Three consecutive sequences.

How did you win again?

Okay. Come on.

Pay me.

Who can beat you?

All the luck is on your side.

Everyone seems tired.

Let's rest for a while.

I'll bring you some snacks.

Our daughter is going to marry
Third Young Master.

It's not her son.

Why is she so arrogant?

Well,

those who don't know

may think she's Commander Xiao's first wife.

(Mrs. Zheng, you don't know about this.)

(Gu Saizhen was the daughter
of the Nanjing Garrison Commander's mistress.)

(When she was a student,)

(she seduced Commander Xiao.)

(She has no official status.)

(Then she became the wife of the commander
in the army camp.)

She hung with those men all the time.

She's used to the gunfire.

(She's a tough woman indeed.)

(Commander Xiao only adores her all these years.)

Yunyi.

Where are you going?

They badmouthed you while you were away.

They even gossiped about your past
with the commander.

All gossip

is unpleasant to hear.

Why take it seriously?

You'll only upset yourself.

Madam.

Give me the fruits.

Go now.

Get on with your work.

[Shameless]

You...

What?

It seems that you don't want to study.

Okay then.

Show me some respect.

Listen.

I reached my limit with my patience toward you.

Go to Luminous Jade

with me this weekend.

I've told you.

I'm not going!

Pretend.

Keep pretending.

Let's put aside your excellent acting.

Your writing

is quite good.

I should have

bought all those articles you published

in the newspaper

and shared them with the family.

Qing Yong.

Your pseudonym.

I didn't expect

Qing Yong who's quite famous in the south

publish many articles

criticizing the warlords.

These articles

denounce them

for being militaristic
and amassing private wealth.

They ignore the people.

They're said to be despicable.

If my father sees these articles,

how will he feel?

The warlords I mentioned

don't include Uncle Xiao.

Don't get me wrong.

Even so,

if you dare to publish such an article again,

I can make those news agencies
close down permanently.

What do you want?

I will say it again.

Go to Luminous Jade with me on Saturday

to meet my friends.

Wear the dress I bought you

and the necklace.

Oh, right.

The most important thing.

You have to listen to me

when we're there.

[Pioneer News Agency]
You said to raise funds for orphans.

But the newspaper agency has been shut down.

What's going on?

What's the matter?

Give our money back!

You liars!

(What's going on?)

(Tell us!)

(Everyone.)

(Everyone, please calm down.)

Please stop.

Sir.

What's happening ahead?

Pioneer News Agency has been shut down.

They're making trouble.

I want to get off.

Here you go.

Thank you.

(Listen to me!)

Please be quiet!

Be quiet and listen to me!

Don't say useless things!

Everybody!

Please listen to me first!

-Excuse me.
-It happened suddenly.

We aren't sure...

-Gang, what's going on?
-about what happened either.

I don't know either.

The newspaper agency
was suddenly closed down today.

Closed down?

(But please trust us.)

(You're all liars!)

Liar!

Liar! Pay us back!

-None of you can leave!
-Liar!

Liar!

(Listen to me, everybody.)

Give us back our money!

-Liar! Pay us back!
-Pay back our money!

Pay us back!

Liar!

Liar!

Liar! Pay us back!

(Listen to me first.)

(Everybody, listen to me!)

Beichen, it's already noon.

Where's your Lin?

Right.

Are you lying to us?

What?

You want to make fun of me?

You're so bad.

What did I say?

[Ultimate Music of a Prosperous Era]
Convertible car.

It's already mine.

Shuyi, Lin Hangjing is here.

Let's go and have a look.

Let's go.

Hangjing, you're finally here.

Third Young Master has been waiting for you.

Yes.

He never brings a partner.

You're the first one.

Your dress is so lovely.

The pearl necklace is big and round.

It must be expensive.

Of course.

My brother bought all these for her.

So, you're the girlfriend of Third Young Master?

She must be.

Third Young Master

brings her to and from school.

He's so nice to her.

It's nothing.

It's just a bet.

My brother and Fengqi are a couple.

Didn't you know it?

Doofus Xu told me that.

They made a bet with my brother.

As long as you're obedient within a month,

he and Mo Weiyi will give my brother

a convertible car.

So

people may be pretentious sometimes.

But that's just a joke in others' eyes really.

Yes, you have to accept your fate.

Hangjing.

-Beichen.
-Come on.

Come on.

Then, can my car...

Your car. Don't ever think about it.

I'll have to admit defeat then.

Lin, let me introduce them to you.

Xu Zijun. Doofus Xu.

And...

What are you doing?

Beichen.

Why did she do that?

Lin Hangjing!

Are you crazy?

Xiao Beichen.

Did you tell your friends

that you wooed me

then I fell in love with you

and I'd even obey you?

I'll make it clear to you

in front of them today.

You'd better apologize to me right away.

You sleep until the afternoon every day.

Besides having fun here and there,

you bully people.

Without your family,

you are nothing.

And

you're rude and arrogant.

You don't know what equality and respect are.

I've looked down on you

from the first day I knew you!

How could she say that?

Right.

You were born in a family

that many people couldn't even dream of.

You receive the most advanced education.

If you want,

you can reach out and change
the fate of countless people.

But here's a question for you.

Do you have a dream

for society, the country,

your beloved family,

or even just yourself?

That's why I look down on you.

Lin Hangjing.

It's my last time to give you another chance.

I want you

to apologize now!

Impossible.

You offended me.

You've got to live a different life now in Beixin!

Okay, I'll wait and see.

You...

Beichen.

Beichen.

(But here's a question for you.)

(Do you have a dream)

(for society, the country,)

(your beloved family,)

(or even just yourself?)

(That's why I look down on you.)

Mr. Zhao.

What's wrong?

What's on your mind?

Do you think

I'm a person without dreams and ambition?

Yes.

Come on. Take it back.

You're so hot-tempered.

You're not like your mother at all.

You're like your father.

Don't mention him.

He didn't deserve to be with my mother.

Don't resent your father.

The more hatred you carry,

the more uneasy your mother would be.

(A good kid isn't picky about food.)

You can only grow up quickly by eating well.

When you grow up,
you can be a general like your father.

I don't want to be a general.

I want to be a hero.

You have to eat well to be a hero.

Mother, sleep with me.

I don't want to sleep. I want to get up.

But it's getting late.

Be good, okay?

-No.
-Sleep.

I'll sing your favorite Beijing opera

to put you to sleep, okay?

Okay.

Tuck in.

♪The moon has just risen from the island♪

Let me tell you.

The new perfume
in the department store smells good.

Really?

Here she is.

It's okay. Leave her alone.

Look at her.

Let me tell you. It's so funny.

Really?

Yes, I've long heard about it.

She offended us first.

It serves her right.

She provoked us.

Let's see how she eats that.

Hurry up.

(I'm still inside here.)

(Don't lock the door.)

Let's go.

Open the door! Don't lock it!
