(Adapted from the serialized work "Reborn"

by Qiang Yu)

We need to hurry up with the makeup.

The ceremony is about to start.

Let's use the auspicious peach shade.

Sure.

Where are the wedding shoes?

Were they left in the car?

The car is parked

by the village entrance.

I'll take you there.

Just in case you get lost.

Sure.

Qingyu,

um,

please help Xiaoyun

with her dress.

Can you help her put the pendant on?

I'll leave it here.

Thank you for helping me today.

Xiaoyun,

how did you meet Jinrui?

When I was in my senior year,

Jinrui invited me to act

in a short film.

He played the male lead,

and I played the female lead.

Funny enough,

we played a couple in that film.

I played a girl

who was really good at dancing.

After the shoot,

we grew closer,

and eventually,

we got together.

What was the film about?

It was a tragic love today.

The couple didn't end up together.

Maybe Jinrui thought it was a bad omen,

so he hid all the footage

and never wanted to watch it again.

But I think

the story and reality are different.

Look, we're doing great now, aren't we?

We're getting married.

I'm sorry.

=Episode 11=

(A Broken Wedding)

Have you seen Qingyu?

I saw her upstairs just now.

She was helping Xiaoyun with her makeup.

Leave it here.

Okay.

Is this better?

Yes.

Right.

I accidentally pricked my finger

and stained the wedding gown.

Are you okay, Qingyu?

I'm fine.

Never mind. I can wipe it off.

Stains on the gown can be wiped off.

But the stains on a person can't.

Yes?

Xiaoyun,

I hope you'll be happy.

I will.

Put yourself together.

Your dad

gave me this

when we got married.

It's the only decent thing he gave.

You're beside the bride today.

Clean up yourself nicely.

Wear it later.

Once Jinrui's wedding's over,

we'll head back to Huanzhou.

Leave those unhappy things behind.

You have to start living your own life.

Cheer up.

Jinrui.

Look who's here.

Jinrui.

It's been a long while.

Congratulations, Jinrui.

You and your wife are a perfect match.

Thank you.

Jinrui, you're finally putting

your single life behind you

and joining the whipped club.

Don't listen to him.

He's teasing you

because he can't find a wife.

Come on, take a seat.

I saved you two a spot there.

Okay. We'll head over.

Didn't you invite your other friends?

Xiaoyun's parents specifically asked us

to keep it low-key.

We're going on a honeymoon right after.

Feihai, come sit here.

I'll head over first.

Here, this is for you.

That's the last one.

Qing,

can you get me another box

of wedding candy?

Mr. Zhang, you're here.

It's been a long while.

Dad, Mom, Mr. Zhang's here.

Thank you.

Thank you.

(Once Jinrui's wedding's over,)

(we'll head back to Huanzhou.)

(Leave those unhappy things behind.)

You have to start living your own life.

Qing.

What's wrong? Everyone's waiting.

(Forever United in Happiness)

Qiao Huan,

this box isn't full.

Take this instead.

Okay.

You're here.

Congratulations.

Thanks for coming all the way here

to the village.

I hope you can forgive me

for the poor hospitality.

Not at all.

It's your big day.

We're here to share your happiness.

Thank you.

Dad, Mom.

This is my superior, Mr. Liu.

He's doing great at work.

He's driven and motivated.

You've taught him well.

You flattered me.

Mr. Liu really looks out for me at work.

Thank you so much.

It's my duty.

(Double Happiness)

(Forever United in Happiness)

Thank you, Mr. Liu.

You're welcome.

This young man is hard-working.

Thank you, Mr. Liu.

He's caused you trouble.

Not at all.

Doesn't Qiao Beiyu's family feel ashamed

to show up today?

Yeah. What were they thinking?

Today's Jinrui's wedding.

I wouldn't have come if I were them.

They're just here to ruin the day.

Tell me about it.

Today's a big day.

Jinrui is too kind.

The Qiao family is so unfortunate

to have a daughter like her.

Yeah.

May all the children be prosperous.

Wonderful!

May the bride succeed in all she does.

Wonderful!

May your wealth grow.

Wonderful.

May the couple stay loving

and have a child by next year.

Did I beg them to raise my child?

They snatched my child from me.

First bow to Heaven and Earth.

Jiangsheng, have you seen Qingyu?

No.

Second bow to the parents.

Good!

Bow to each other.

Excellent!

Here.

Lift the bride's veil,

and a fair lady appears.

Beautiful!

(When you're vulnerable,)

(pin on a flower)

(and fight against the darkness.)

(To reveal the truth,)

(change your course)

(and be ready to ignite

into a burning tree.)

Kiss!

(A person truly dies)

(only when they are forgotten.)

(No matter how joyful a celebration is,)

(it can never cover up

monstrous crimes.)

Congratulations, Jinrui.

Congratulations, Jinrui.

I wish you a happy marriage.

Take good care of your bride.

What's written on it?

Hurry up and have kids.

Okay.

What are you reading?

(He's a shameless coward.)

(He's the man

who caused Beiyu's miscarriage)

(and betrayed her.)

(This isn't a story. It's a real

tragedy. The man of the day,)

(the groom,)

(Qiao Jinrui,)

(the proud eldest grandson

of the Qiao family,)

(was actually adopted.)

(They dumped all the blame on Beiyu)

(to cover up the truth,)

(keeping everyone in the dark.)

(Six years ago,)

(everyone here from Nanqiao Village)

(was complicit in a murder.)

(The victim wasn't allowed

to be buried in the ancestral tomb)

(nor even allowed a name.)

(Qiao Beiyu.)

(Was complicit in a murder.)

(Six years ago.)

(The victim wasn't allowed

to be buried in the ancestral tomb)

(nor even allowed a name.)

(The victim wasn't allowed

to be buried in the ancestral tomb)

(nor even allowed a name.)

(The victim wasn't allowed

to be buried in the ancestral tomb)

(nor even allowed a name.)

(Qiao Beiyu.)

(A Sorrow We Must Never Forget)

Are you trying to ruin Jinrui?

Fine,

nobody's going to have it easy!

Yanfen, calm down.

What's done is done.

Calm down.

Right.

Qingyu's missing now.

We have to find her first.

For what?

She'd better be dead somewhere.

Jinrui.

Jinrui.

Jinrui, my poor boy!

They ruined it once,

and that's not enough.

They're pushing you to a dead end now.

Jinrui, poor thing.

Get up. The ground is cold.

What a sin.

Jinrui.

(Cousin)

(Cousin)

(Cousin)

(All the money. The next train:

Huanzhou to Jiangmen.)

(Living expenses, one-bed, meals.)

(Get a job within a month.)

The last train for tonight

was canceled because of the weather.

The earliest train tomorrow

leaves at 6:40 AM.

Then tomorrow morning it is.

Sure. 98.

Single bed with air conditioning.

It's right next to the station.

Thank you.

Do you need a room?

Do you need a room, miss?

Right next to the station.

Single bed with air conditioning.

The original price is 160.

But it's late now.

I'll give it to you for 80.

No, thanks.

How about 70, miss?

Do me a favor, please.

No.

You're a young girl.

It's not safe to stay

at the station overnight.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

My purse was stolen.

When did that happen?

How much was lost?

I was sleeping on that bench.

When I woke up, it was gone.

What's your name? How old are you?

I...

And your family's names, phone numbers,

and ID numbers.

I need to keep a record.

It's best to report this

to the local police station

and have it on record.

It's fine. Maybe it's a mistake.

(Roasted Meat Fast Food Restaurant)

(Hiring dishwashers.

Meals and accommodation included.)

Ma'am.

What would you like to eat, miss?

I'm not here to eat.

Um... My purse was stolen

at the train station.

Can I borrow your handphone

to make a call?

Thank you.

The number you've dialed is powered off.

The number you've dialed is powered off.

No one's answering.

(Menu: Plain noodles 6 yuan)

Can I get a bowl of plain noodles?

I only have five yuan.

You can give me less noodles.

I don't need an egg.

I can't pay for that.

It's fine. It's on the house.

Hurry and go home

after you finish eating.

The outside world is complicated.

You can't tell with people

whether they're good or bad.

A young girl out this late

is very dangerous.

Eat up and go home.

Your family must be worried sick.

No place is better than home, right?

Ma'am.

Can I work here for a couple of days?

I can wash, chop, prepare ingredients,

and cook noodles.

My family runs a noodle house.

I was supposed to go to work

in Jiangzhou,

but my ID card and purse were stolen.

Once I gather enough money

for my ticket,

food, and phone calls, I'll go.

Well, then.

You may stay and give it a try.

Thank you.

Hello, where to?

Sir,

to Nanqiao Village in Shunyun.

What? From here to Shunyun?

Right.

That's over 200 kilometers per trip.

Please hurry, I'm in a rush.

Okay.

Young girl, hurry up.

Young girl, are you not feeling well?

I'm fine.

Um, you can take the money out

of my wages.

Young girl,

it's not that I don't want to keep you.

Look at your hands.

They're soft and fair.

They aren't for washing dishes.

They're for holding pens.

Also, this place isn't

where you should be.

Staying at home is more comfortable.

Take my advice

and go home.

Don't make your family worry.

Ma'am, please give me another chance.

I'll get better with practice.

My family won't worry about me.

They'd rather hate me.

All right, then. Be careful.

(Did you send that letter?)

(Sheng: Are you okay?)

(Where are you?)

(Reply as soon as you get this.)

(Missed calls)

Hello?

This number called me

around 3 AM.

May I know who this is?

Sir,

we're not going to Nanqiao Village.

Please take me

to the Huanzhou Train Station.

(Bus Drop-off, Bus Pick-up)

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

(Missing Person)

Have you seen this girl?

She's around this tall.

Sir.

Yes.

Have you seen this girl?

Take a look, please. Have you seen her?

Have you seen this girl?

I'll leave you this.

If you see her,

please call me.

Okay.

Thank you.

(Missing Person)

How's it going?

Over there.

There's a service desk. We can ask.

Here.

Look. Is that her?

Is this what you want?

Working at an eatery off the books?

What's wrong?

Are you sick?

I'd rather die here

than go back.

Qingyu, even if you hate them,

you shouldn't have done that.

You've hurt everyone in your family.

Let's go. I'll take you home.

I'm not going back.

You are.

Your family is...

I said I'm not going back.

Don't call my mom.

Can you stop all this nonsense?

Your dad rushed to Huanzhou overnight

last night.

He's been looking for you

at the bus and train stations.

Your grandpa and second uncle all came.

They're scared

something happened to you.

Are they?

They just want to drag me back

and question me.

Feihai,

you saw the note

in the wedding candy box.

You know

what Beiyu went through.

Don't you feel bad for her?

But you're sick now.

Your grandma fainted

at the wedding.

She's in the hospital.

Shouldn't you go back...

I'm not changing my mind.

And you don't avoid my question.

Jinrui hurt my sister

when she was in university.

Don't you feel bad for Beiyu?

Jinrui and his family

ruined Beiyu's youth

and her entire life.

Don't you hate them even a little?

Everyone makes mistakes.

The reality is

that Beiyu has gone.

Even if I hate them, would that help?

At least I won't do

anything reckless like you.

Qingyu,

this whole thing is out of control now.

Your family's years of reputation

is ruined in one night.

You pulled so many innocent people

down with you,

do you know?

No one is innocent.

My grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt,

and my parents,

are all covering up for Jinrui.

They lie

and slander Beiyu.

They're all accomplices.

Over the past year,

I really hated Qiao Beiyu.

I thought she ruined the whole family,

messed up our lives,

and was the reason

we were all suffering.

It wasn't until I found out

what Jinrui had done

that I finally realized

it wasn't Beiyu who ruined our lives.

They were the ones

who pushed her to the edge.

Beiyu used to be cheerful.

Honestly,

no one could tell

what she'd gone through.

That's because she kept it all inside.

Do you remember

what she wrote about you in her diary?

She...

Did she resent me

for being a coward,

for not standing up for her

when she was being bullied?

It was the complete opposite.

In her diary,

she wrote what you did for her.

Beiyu.

It was the only warmth she'd felt

in the past few years.

Now that she's gone,

we still say such horrible things

about her

and go on with life

like nothing ever happened.

It shouldn't be like this.

I don't regret clarifying the truth

for Qiao Beiyu.

Qingyu.

Qingyu.

Qingyu!

Qingyu!

You're still sick. Stop being stubborn.

(The widespread rain and show)

(were caused by the La Niña phenomenon,)

(which triggered abnormal

atmospheric circulation.)

(Since January,

the persistent circulation)

(has caused frequent cold waves.)

(Reportedly, more than twenty provinces)

(have been continuously affected.)

Beiyu,

I stood up for you.

But why instead of feeling relieved,

the weight on me only grows.

37.5 degree. Low fever.

Qiao Dadan,

keep an eye on yourself

when you get home.

If the fever comes back,

make sure to take some meds.

Qiao Dadan?

[*Dadan means bold in Chinese]

Well, I know you don't want

your family to find you,

so I gave you a fake name.

It fits you, Qiao the Bold.

Weren't you overseas?

When did you come back?

Didn't I tell you?

I'll always stand by your side.

What happened?

A crash on the highway.

It was a wedding car.

The car was full of roses.

I heard the bride and groom

were badly injured.

It was terrible.

A car accident on their wedding day?

Tell me about it.

Let's hope they're fine.

Excuse me.

Nurse!

Come on and help.

What's wrong?

She suddenly fainted.

Give us a hand.

What happened?

She fainted.

It happened so suddenly.

Put her down.

Ma'am.

Am I doing this wrong?

I don't think so.

Then why

do I feel so scared

even though I've done something right?

Didn't you say

you weren't afraid of anything?

I used to think that too.

But after everything happened,

I realized I'm actually a coward.

I couldn't even go to the wedding.

I'm scared of

what Grandpa and Uncle Haisheng

will do to my parents.

And what if

the patients in the operating room

are Jinrui and Xiaoyun?

Don't overthink it.

Just focus on getting well.

That's all you need to do.

Can you lend me some money?

It's pointless asking for that now.

You can't go anywhere

even if you go out now.

Your parents

have posted a missing person ad

in the newspaper.

You're in the news now.

Don't worry about that.

Just lend me some money.

How could I not worry?

Did I come all the way back here

just to watch the mess?

There's a place I know

your family will never think to look.

Let's go.

(Ms. Ma's General Store)

Ms. Ma.

The goods are here.

You're early today.

No choice.

Come on. Unload them.

Are you still cold?

There.

It's injured.

Hmm.

This cage is left by my grandpa.

I didn't think

I'd actually need it one day.

Your family's

looking for you all over Huanzhou.

They'll never guess

you're hiding right under their noses.

You see,

the most dangerous place

is actually the safest.

It's cold outside.

Do you want to take a hot shower

to warm yourself up?

I didn't bring any clothes.

It's fine. You can wear mine.

They're all washed.

Very clean.

Don't worry.

You're not thinking about

something weird, are you?
