[Kill My Sins] [This is a work of fiction]

[Episode 10] [Through the Struggle Comes Brilliance]

Are you saying that Li Ge

has the same Seven-Petal Epiphyllum mark

on her arm as Cailian?

Yes.

How much do you know about Li Ge?

I don't know much about her.

She's new here

and usually keeps to herself.

But I heard Madam Hua mention

that her family sold her

to Wanguoxiang Tavern.

Miss Li Ge,

I'm coming in.

Miss Li Ge,

were you hurt

just now?

I'm fine.

My friends have left.

Miss Li Ge,

would you mind chatting with me?

It's no fun just drinking.

How about

we play a game instead?

What game?

It's a mind-reading game.

If I guess what's on your mind correctly,

you drink.

If I'm wrong,

I'll drink instead.

We've just met,

so it should be fair.

This doesn't sound

quite fair to you.

Here's the first drink.

When you talk to me,

although you wear a smile,

your heart is filled with pain

and your hands

often tremble.

Now, the second drink.

Because the pain is unbearable,

you resort to cutting yourself

to release the frustration.

And the third drink...

Who exactly are you?

Now, the third drink.

Your pain

stems from the fact

that someone destroyed your belief

in the goodness of life

and even

abandoned you.

It's hard for you

to open up to others now.

Gossip is a frightening thing.

It's even more terrifying than disaster or illness.

That's why I never open up to others.

But I never expected

that you'd be able to see right through me

after our brief encounter.

Didn't you ask who I am earlier?

My name is Ye Ping'an.

You're that witch...

The psychiatrist, I mean.

That explains everything.

Please don't tell anyone

what you just heard.

If others find out,

they'll definitely think

I'm a freak.

You have my word.

But could you tell me

who left

this Epiphyllum mark

on you?

I don't want to tell you,

nor can I.

He has a prestigious background.

If you insist on asking,

I'll have to ask you to leave.

What are you carving, Father?

The Eternal Pavilion,

symbolizing everlasting longevity.

If Her Majesty likes it,

I will present it to her during the upcoming festival.

If not,

I shall keep it

for myself.

To carve the Eternal Pavilion

with such intricate precision

on this rosewood

may take up to a year.

When Her Majesty sees it,

your heartfelt effort

will please her greatly.

Xian'er,

you should have time tomorrow to go up the mountain

and visit your mother, right?

I still have

some business to attend to

and won't be free tomorrow.

When you were little,

your mother went to the mountain to focus on her cultivation,

and you were left neglected.

If you have any resentment,

direct it at me.

Father, please don't say such things.

If it weren't for your recognition

of my policy proposals back then,

bringing me to meet Her Majesty,

how could I have reached where I am today?

You still haven't fully recovered,

so have an early night.

Mother!

Please don't go.

Don't leave me behind.

Mother,

please don't leave me behind.

From now on,

never speak of your mother again.

Get up.

Get up.

Do as you wish.

[Qinglong Bridge]

Gu Wenyu,

this lantern of yours

is quite unique.

I bought one while waiting for you

last night,

but later I realized

it would be more meaningful

to make it myself.

Unfortunately, I'm quite clumsy,

so this is what I ended up with.

It's for you.

Look.

Is the reflection of the moon beautiful?

It's very beautiful.

What about now?

Actually,

many of the things you think are beautiful

are nothing but illusions.

I'm the same.

I know

that if I keep hesitating

and don't give you an answer,

neither of us will be happy.

Gu Wenyu,

from now on,

anyone can come to my meat stall,

but not you.

I

will not be with you.

Is your concern

related to the censor's case?

How did you know?

What else do you know?

Is it Yuan Shaocheng who...?

Please let me finish,

all right?

I've been a lowly person

since the moment I was born.

When I was twelve,

I was sold from Mang Gutter

and locked away in a house,

living a life devoid of light.

Any mistake I made would result in a brutal beating.

My mother was worried about me,

so she came to check on me.

She just wanted to take one look at me,

but the scoundrel who bought me

beat her to death.

I rushed up to fight him.

If Mr. Yuan hadn't saved me,

I honestly don't know

what would have become of me.

So, whether it's an illusion

or the truth,

the past

is a part of us.

There's no need to run from it.

I've never run from it.

For all these years, I've wanted to go home

and reunite with my father,

but I was too scared,

and couldn't bring myself to do it.

All I could do was carry the pendant

my father gave me every day,

pretending that he was still by my side.

Gu Wenyu,

both of us

are living in pain.

You can't help me,

just as I can't help you.

I respect your choice.

But my feelings for you go beyond affection.

There's also admiration.

So, whatever decisions

you make in the future,

I want to stand by you.

Well.

No one's inside.

[Anxin House]

Miss Ye, my savior.

Miss Ye.

Miss Ye.

Oh, it's you two.

What are you doing here at this hour?

It was me who brought him here.

He's had another relapse in the past few days.

When did I have a relapse?

If you were fine,

then why did you join the others,

trying to make a scene tonight?

What nonsense are you talking about?

What happened?

Don't move!

If you take one more step forward,

you're forcing me to kill myself!

Cai Yun,

we've worked so hard

for so long,

and in the end, you don't give us any money at all.

You think temporary workers like us

are just pushovers, huh?

- Give us our money. - Pay us what we're owed.

[Cai Yun, the fabric shop owner] Did I say I wouldn't pay you?

Did I?

You just need

to give me a few more days.

You kept delaying

the payment.

Go up

and bring him down.

Stay back, all of you!

Don't come any closer!

I...

Well.

Why has he stopped moving?

Step aside

and let me take a look.

Tell me.

Why haven't you

paid them yet?

I went to the gambling house with the money and lost it.

Keep spinning the story.

It's true. I'm not lying.

Have you heard of

Ye Ping'an from Anxin House?

You're that witch...

I'll tell you the truth.

I'll tell you the truth.

So,

I spent half my life's savings

opening this fabric shop,

thinking

I could take a gamble on fortune and make it big.

But I never expected

that right after the capital's big fabric shop

sent someone to collect the so-called market entry fees,

a low-ranking official

from the South Market Bureau

said my fabric didn't meet the standards.

Now, I've spent everything

trying to grease the wheels.

Let alone paying them,

I don't even have money for food.

This is quality fabric.

Are they deliberately giving you a hard time?

You're a perceptive one.

I checked with some friends,

and it turns out

both the South Market Bureau

and the pawnshop

are in cahoots with that big fabric shop.

They

dominate the entire trade,

making sure

small fabric shops like mine can't stay open.

I'm not the first one

to be pushed over the edge.

That big fabric shop…

It wouldn't happen to be Jiuhe, would it?

Jiuhe?

That's the biggest fabric shop in the capital.

You fear

that if they make a scene at Jiuhe Fabric Shop,

they'll also get themselves into trouble.

You are pretty loyal.

All right.

So who's behind Jiuhe Fabric Shop?

It's the wealthiest merchant in the capital

and a royal relative,

Prince of Langyang, Li Zongxu.

Mr. Li, the philanthropist?

That's not possible!

He's hosting a feast

for the people tomorrow.

- Yes. - Yes.

I heard

this feast is specially

prepared for us poor people.

We'll get plenty to eat and drink.

It's true.

It's true.

He has helped us a lot.

All right.

I'll trouble you

to endure a bit more hardship tomorrow.

What kind of hardship?

Hesheng,

you're going to be a father.

Really?

We are going to have a child?

I am going to be a father?

I am going to be a father!

Bai Sheng,

from now on, I'll do all the heavy lifting

at home.

Also,

from now on,

I won't touch a drop of liquor.

Are you sure?

I am.

Hesheng,

now that we're expecting a child,

how about we move

to the quiet countryside

and live there?

But

what about Shaocheng?

He's always taking risks.

As long as I'm around,

he'll still think twice.

If I leave,

he'll only become more reckless

and eventually get into trouble.

I can't just abandon him.

Hesheng,

I know you're worried about him,

but you can't watch over him

forever.

No matter what,

you need to let him know

what we're thinking,

all right?

[Longmen Arena]

Why did you ask me

to meet you here today?

I wish to see if your martial skills

have deteriorated

like your character.

You must fight me

today.

- Bravo! - Bravo!

Five years ago,

you broke through the enemy's encirclement

and brought back crucial intelligence,

achieving great feats.

But now, why have you become a sycophant

who curries favor with the powerful?

Why?

So what if

I become such person?

Are you afraid that one day

I will become a threat to you?

If you're really after power and influence,

then why would you risk offending the nobility

to plead for the people of Mang Gutter?

Because I love meddling in other people's affairs.

Is that answer good enough, General?

You're just like you used to be.

So are you.

- Nice! - Nice!

This is great.

What's the purpose

of your return this time?

With our bond, I thought

you'd be able to guess without me saying anything.

Got it.

Next time, the drinks are on me.

Sure,

but I'll only drink

the finest liquor.

You can drink your fill.

- Nice! - Nice!

[Longmen Arena]

[Martial Arts Examination Ground]

Aunt.

Are you sure

the mark you saw on Li Ge is the same

as the ones

on Cai Lian and Ruan Qin?

The Seven-Petal Epiphyllum mark

is unmistakable.

Li Ge definitely knows more

about that person.

But with the frustration in her heart,

she's reluctant to truly open up to me.

It'll take some time.

But...

But what?

I have a strange feeling that I can't quite explain.

I had searched for clues

multiple times before but found nothing.

But now, suddenly stumbling upon this

feels a bit too coincidental.

If you ask me,

this is the heavens

looking out for you.

By the way,

are you coming back for dinner tonight?

I'm not sure.

I need to make sure Guo Yi and the others get their pay.

You're a psychiatrist, yet here you are,

helping people collect debts?

A psychiatrist's ultimate duty is to heal people.

The workers I'm helping now

are doing this out of necessity.

Collecting the debts

will help them find peace of mind.

I'm off now.

Ping'an.

Be careful.

Mr. Shaocheng.

Keep moving and ignore him.

Mr. Gu.

You are here, Shaocheng.

Here are two more pots of liquor for you.

You shouldn't have.

I haven't even finished the liquor

you brought me last time.

[Rat]

This piece

is for you.

I made three in total.

Hesheng and I

each have one.

Our family

should have

something of our own.

This is great.

Great indeed.

Why are you crying?

All you do is cry all day long.

If you're so capable,

then find a way out for our child.

He was born into a life of struggle with us.

Who are you calling incapable?

I dare you to say it again.

Come back here!

It's you.

You are the one who's incapable.

Who are you calling incapable?

It's you.

What's going on?

It's nothing important.

Come in with me.

What's not important?

If you won't say it,

I will.

You...

Mr. Yuan,

why did you cancel the Longmen Battle?

For the past six months,

he has been preparing

for it every day.

If he wins,

both he and the child can escape their lowly status.

To put it bluntly,

you owe your success

to the Longmen Battle.

You've secured a good life for yourself,

yet you've shut the door

on everyone else.

What exactly are you trying to do?

What's this nonsense you're talking about?

Are you sure you can say those things

with a clear conscience?

Everyone knows

how Mang Gutter used to be.

Without Shaocheng's protection,

anyone could just walk in to abduct

and beat people.

We had absolutely no dignity.

Mr. Gu.

Yes,

he's risen to fame and fortune,

and he

could just walk away,

but he didn't.

Deep down,

he always considered

Mang Gutter his home.

Mr. Gu.

Mr. Yuan,

you will always be the person

we respect the most

in our hearts.

Everyone sees and remembers

everything you've done

for Mang Gutter.

We will never forget

your kindness and great deeds.

As a blacksmith,

I've spent half my life forging iron,

with no other great skills.

I just wanted

to make something of myself

in the Longmen Battle,

to provide a future for my child,

so he could study,

do business,

take the imperial exams,

and become a great person like you.

But now,

with the Longmen Battle gone,

the hope of Mang Gutter

is gone.

Yes,

we'll never escape

our lowly status in this life.

Yes,

what about my child's future?

- Yes. - Yes.

There's no more hope for us.

All right. Stop now.

[Langyang Mansion]

Everyone.

Everyone,

when the dike collapsed in Yangzhou last year,

it flooded many salt fields.

It was the great philanthropist Li

who resolved the crisis of the capital's salt industry.

For many years,

despite being a prince,

Mr. Li, the philanthropist, has generously provided food

to those in need every year.

[Xu Qing, Chief Secretary] He has also paid a significant amount

[of the Ministry of Revenue] of salt tax to the court each year.

He is truly a beacon of hope for the people.

- Nice! - Nice!

Such a benevolent person.

A merchant's goal

shouldn't be just to amass wealth

but to serve the people.

I'm merely doing what is right.

Please, everyone, help yourselves.

Zongxu,

a toast to you.

General,

Xu Qing appears to have regular interactions

with Li Zongxu.

Mr. Li,

it was your generosity

last winter

that provided us with food

and helped my entire family survive.

I

shall kowtow to you in gratitude.

Please get up.

Come on. Please get up.

As the saying goes,

those who prosper should give back to society.

I cannot bear

to see others suffer from hunger and cold.

As long as it is within my ability,

I will do my utmost to help.

What a kind-hearted person.

A true embodiment of kindness.

What a kind-hearted person!

I can't take it anymore.

I can't go on like this.

It's too much to bear.

Mr. Li,

please give me a chance to survive.

May I ask who you are?

We are temporary workers.

We finished building the fabric shop for this man named Cai,

but he hasn't paid us.

He claims

that it was your Jiuhe Fabric Shop

that took away his livelihood.

We know

you are a kind-hearted person,

so

we came to ask you to help resolve this issue fairly.

Yes.

Mr. Li shall help us resolve this issue fairly.

- Yes. - Yes.

Please help us resolve this issue fairly.

Mr. Li,

I've already paid the market entry fee

to Jiuhe Fabric Shop,

yet they're still

not letting my small fabric shop open.

I went to them

to ask for an explanation,

and they beat me up.

The mourning clothes I'm wearing today

are for myself.

If you side with them too,

I'll die right here in front of you.

I didn't expect

there would be commotion tonight.

General,

should we still

question Xu Qing

about the Battle of Jinyuan?

Forget it.

Let's not tip our hand tonight.

Go back.

Once the account book arrives,

I'll have a proper talk with Xu Qing.

Yes, sir.

You old...

Sir,

I'm in charge of Jiuhe Fabric Shop.

There's no way

something like this could happen.

Stop making things up.

I'm making things up?

I'm telling the truth,

I promise!

Can these injuries be a lie?

Everyone, look at my face!

Look at it.

Can the injuries on my face

be fake?

Can they?

Father,

he's lying.

The shopkeeper at Jiuhe Fabric Shop

stepped on my face

and beat me.

If you don't believe me,

just call him over

to confront me.

Jiuhe Fabric Shop has already resorted to violence.

Who's to say

they wouldn't do anything else,

right?

I can't go on like this.

Everyone, quiet down.

Looks like

they really are monopolizing the market.

I have always valued

harmony in business.

I will never tolerate

any monopolistic behavior.

If anyone at Jiuhe Fabric Workshop

has broken the rules,

I will make sure to punish them severely.

How much is owed to you?

Each of us is owed 170 wen.

There are twelve of us,

so that's a total of 2040 wen.

This is the contract.

All right.

I'll cover

your pay.

On top of that,

I will add another 10000 wen

as compensation.

You are indeed kind-hearted, Mr. Li.

What a benevolent man!

What a benevolent man!

You are so kind.

He won't bully us common people.

We can really count on Mr. Li.

You are truly kind.

Thank you, Mr. Li.

Whether the kind-hearted Mr. Li

has anything to do with Jiuhe Fabric Shop

monopolizing the market or not,

for a philanthropist like him,

reputation is what matters the most.

So tomorrow,

focus on three things. First,

use the crowd to your advantage.

Second, sing his praises.

Third, tell a tragic tale.

This way,

the situation will be resolved swiftly

and everyone will be pleased.

[Boundless Benevolence] Mr. Li,

I extend our sincere gratitude

on behalf of all the temporary workers.

That's right.

It's truly our privilege

to encounter

such a benevolent person like Mr. Li.

- Yes. - Yes.

- It's our privilege. - It's our privilege.

Now that we have a positive outcome,

let's all raise a glass

and toast to a bountiful harvest

and a prosperous, peaceful nation.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- Thank you, Mr. Li. - Thank you, Mr. Li.

If I've guessed correctly,

you're the one who planned

this excellent act tonight for the temporary workers, right?

General Wu,

what are you doing here?

I was just wandering around

and happened to see you

helping the temporary workers get paid.

I didn't know

you had such a sense of justice.

It's only right that people

are paid for their hard work.

When their hearts are at ease, their minds are calm,

and when their minds are at peace, they stay healthy.

I heard from Xian'er

that you often provide

for refugees at your camp

and even take the lead in cultivating new land.

This

is truly an act of great virtue.

This is but a small effort in the face of a great problem.

Some among the noble families

not only hoard land for their own gain

but also force struggling farmers

to sell their fertile fields at low prices.

That's why the number

of refugees keeps rising.

It sounds like

you're feeling a bit discouraged.

What about you?

Even though you helped

the temporary workers this time,

injustice against the common people

happens all the time.

Have you never lost heart?

Me?

I just think

that when I come across

someone I can help,

I should do it.

Coming back to the capital

and making a friend like you

has made this journey worthwhile.

There's no time like the present.

Let's go get Xian'er

and have a drink together. What do you say?

Sure.

Over there.

It's her.

It's her.

It's her.

What do you want?

She is the savior of us temporary workers.

My savior.

Thanks to Miss Ye,

we got our money back.

Folks,

let's thank Miss Ye.

- Thank you, Miss Ye. - Thank you, Miss Ye.

- Thank you, Miss Ye. - Thank you, Miss Ye.

Folks,

from now on, we will not allow anyone

to speak ill of Anxin House.

That's right.

We won't allow it.

- We won't allow it. - We won't allow it.

Step aside.

Look at you, all rough and loud.

You might scare my savior.

Sorry about that.

I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.

All right.

What are we still doing here?

Let's leave.

Folks,

- let's leave. - Let's go.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Thank you so much, Miss Ye,

for helping me out of this bind

at this late hour.

Don't mention it.

Miss Ye,

I have another favor to ask.

What is it?

I have a patient at home.

I'd like to ask you to take a look at him.

Rest assured,

I will pay for your services promptly.

The problem

is that the person

is not sound here,

so I can't bring him out.

Would you mind

coming to my house?

You should go.

We'll catch up

another time.

This way.

Several years ago,

I saw him being beaten up

by a group of thugs on the street.

He was covered in injuries.

I felt so sorry for him,

so I brought him home.

Why give him a shawl

when the weather is so hot?

The shawl is his.

He carries it wherever he goes

and clings to it.

Was he like this when you brought him back?

Yes, he was.

Do you know his name?

I don't.

Everyone calls him the Crazy Old Man.

Don't hit me!

Don't hit me!

Scumbag.

Mr. Cai,

please move back a bit.

That shawl of yours is lovely.

Did you knit it yourself?

Shawl?

Shawl...

Shawl...

He's mentally confused at the moment.

The only thing we can do

is take it slowly.

I'll come by regularly to treat him,

but he must not

be exposed to any more stress.

Can he be cured?

I can only do my best.

[Anxin House]

Miss Ye.

[Li Ge, a dancer at Wanguoxiang Tavern]

At last, you've come to see me.

Tell me.

How did you end up at Wanguoxiang Tavern?

My family are farmers.

The low-ranking officials from the Ministry of Revenue

kept increasing the grain tax

with various excuses.

When we couldn't pay,

we'd have no choice but to sell our land cheaply.

To relieve my family of the burden,

I ended up submitting myself to a man.

But that man

abused me daily,

and I was terrified.

I barely managed to escape back home,

but then Madam Hua from Wanguoxiang Tavern

came to my father

and offered a bag of salt in exchange for me.

Seeing how valuable the salt was,

my father used me

to trade for it.

I...

I...

Close your eyes.

From this moment on,

we'll go to a safe place,

just the two of us.

I can feel your pain.

This is a safe space.

You can say anything you want.

I feel like no one in this world

needs me anymore.

I'm exhausted.

I truly feel

drained.

I always put others first

and never hurt anyone,

but why is it always me

who ends up hurt

in the end?

You don't want others to be hurt,

but you've been hurting yourself all along.

Li Ge,

you need to take care of yourself first,

so you can have the strength to help others.

Look at this world.

Doesn't it resemble a theater?

Joy and sorrow,

each person's experience is different.

When thoughts

like "I've been abandoned by my family,

life is meaningless"

appear,

try

changing your mindset instead.

You may say to yourself, "I finally left the place of sorrow.

I rely on my talents

to support myself."

As the days pass,

the life you lead

is shaped by each thought you hold.

Do you feel better now?

I feel much better,

like a heavy weight

has been lifted off my chest.

Take care of yourself from now on.

If you ever experience mood swings again,

don't hesitate to come to my clinic.

By the way, Miss Ye,

why did you want

to know who that person is

when you saw

the mark on my arm before?

Because you're not the only one

who's been hurt.

All right,

I'll tell you

everything I know.

Half a year ago,

the man I submitted to

was Li Zongxu, Prince of Langyang.

Every woman he's had

will bear the Epiphyllum mark.

♪Evening mist blurs my sight, winds shift, and cold dew falls♪

♪My heart drifts like a lone sail, with the boundless seas as home♪

♪The moonlight fades into the night♪

♪Yet my buried longing never melts away♪

♪I'd rather wait in sorrow for fate to turn♪

♪Than be left with nothing, forever untied♪

♪Scattered apart, only sighs remain♪

♪Regret too deep to mend♪

♪Stars fall, the moon dims, and a soul is too broken to rise♪

♪The night flickers between light and dark♪

♪Yet you remain my guiding light♪

♪Each of us follows our destined path♪

♪Yet as you turn away, caught in the whirl of time♪

♪I, like a drifting petal, am swallowed by the abyss♪

♪Bound by destiny♪

♪Scattered apart, only sighs remain♪

♪Regret too deep to mend♪

♪Stars fall, the moon dims, and a soul is too broken to rise♪

♪The night flickers between light and dark♪

♪Yet you remain my guiding light♪

♪Each of us follows our destined path♪
