My Lady?

Go fetch some water for me.

Just us

for this life?

How did this madwoman get out?

Get out of my sight!

Get out!

You'll never

- abandon me! - What are you doing?

When I was locked away,

why wasn't Xu Shan helping you?

He...

What happened to him?

He's fine.

You should focus on healing.

Did he die?

Jingchuan...

Was it Li Xingwan who did this?

Jingchuan, Li Xingwan...

She's lost her mind.

She killed your mother

and the brother who fought by my side.

Many more innocents

may fall by her hand.

No.

I must go and kill her.

No, no.

Don't!

Don't, Jingchuan!

Let's just stay together.

(Jingchuan,)

(you've left me again.)

(Yaochu,)

(Li Xingwan has lost her mind.)

(I can't let her kill more.)

(I must end this.)

(Stability Ensures Peace)

Jingchuan,

you're here.

Li Xingwan,

how did you end up like this?

Would you truly kill me?

You've harmed so many.

Today...

Today, I'll kill you.

Don't!

Stop!

Why?

Why not seek justice for your mother now?

Silence!

Aren't you trying to avenge your mother?

If I don't kill her today,

more innocent lives will fall into her hands.

I no longer wish to seek vengeance for my mother.

Evil will meet its own end.

Let's go.

Shen Yaochu, spare me your false kindness.

You...

Why?

Tell me why!

Because she's my sister.

The sister I've searched for over 20 years.

Shen Yaochu,

what nonsense are you spouting?

How could I possibly be your sister?

There's a birthmark on your left shoulder.

Its shape is exactly like this jade pendant.

When you were born,

Mother made it for you.

Ever since you went missing,

I've kept it safe for you

for over 20 years.

Mother,

when will my sister grow up?

Yaochu,

look at the shape of this jade pendant.

Doesn't it look like Yunge's birthmark?

Then you should be the one to guard it.

When Yunge grows older,

you can place it on her yourself.

Will you do that?

Yunge,

once you've grown up,

I'll return the jade pendant to you.

It's a promise.

Impossible.

No way.

I killed my mother?

Impossible.

No way.

I killed my mother?

I killed my mother?

Yunge.

Yunge.

Yunge.

I brought you something tasty.

Eat it,

and you'll see your daughter again.

It's very sweet.

Go on.

I'm telling you to eat.

Yunge.

Yunge.

Yunge, don't leave.

Yunge.

Yunge.

Yunge, stay.

Yunge.

- Jingchuan. - I killed my mother.

She was the only family I had left.

I killed my mother.

Don't kill her.

I killed my mother.

Today, I'll spare your life.

Consider it fulfilling my mother's last wish.

From this day on,

how you walk your path in life,

whether you live or die,

I'll no longer interfere.

Shen Yaochu.

Yaochu,

if there's another life,

find me sooner next time.

That's a promise.

Don't!

Yunge!

Yunge!

Yunge!

♪When sorrow and joy turn into ink♪

(Li Manor)

(To have known you)

(is the greatest blessing of my life.)

(Yet I yearn for freedom.)

(My body has been caged for far too long.)

(Now my kin are all gone.)

(It is hard to face the shattered end.)

(The road ahead lies in murky darkness.)

(Yet new life may quietly emerge)

(where the splendor fades away.)

(May you cherish yourself in every way.)

(Do not let thoughts of me weigh on you.)

(If heaven shows mercy,)

(we shall meet again on a journey.)

(Then the moonlight)

(shall shine upon your robes.)

(From Yaochu)

♪Burying all glory♪

♪Blame this destiny granted to me♪

♪Trapped in the chains of love and cause♪

(Jingchuan,)

(I'm leaving.)

(Even if letters cannot reach me,)

(one day,)

(we shall meet again.)

(Qiansi Rouge)

- Thank you. - Let's go.

Come again anytime.

If it works well, come back for more.

Little girl,

you're getting more capable by the day.

That's all thanks to you.

You're getting sweeter

with every word.

Master,

Yaochu went out early this morning.

Do you know where she went?

Most likely,

she went to look for that person.

♪New snow falls thick beneath the eaves♪

♪Covering the courtyard gate♪

♪Your gaze melts winter into spring♪

♪Turning back from the boundless multitude♪

♪Gazing at you in that fleeting moment♪

Long time no see.

General, is there still a place for me by your side?

♪A foolish dream turns earnest with you in it♪

♪New snow falls thick beneath the eaves♪

♪Covering the courtyard gate♪

♪Your gaze melts winter into spring♪

♪Turning back from the boundless multitude♪

♪Gazing at you in that fleeting moment♪

♪All the hardships fade into drifting dust♪

♪A foolish dream turns earnest with you in it♪

♪Even a feigned play can grow into true affection♪

♪Too many dusks walked alone beneath my umbrella♪

♪Yet I crave the warmth left in your embrace♪

♪Among thousands of bright lamps, is there one♪

♪That waits quietly for me?♪

♪Time grinds through the rings of memory♪

♪Only you keep me warm in the long night♪

♪Scars left by the days gone by♪

♪Lie upon the lines of our hands together♪

♪I hold out a heart sincere and true♪

♪Crossing the deep courtyard♪

♪Just to trade it for one kiss from you♪

♪Praying our hair turns gray without regret♪

♪So that true love will finally come to be♪
