Original subtitles

I was away for a while, and you're gone.

Can't believe you found this place.

Speak.

What are you doing here?

This place is terrifying,

and no one's guarding it?

I'm scared to death!

Uncle Miu,

you do have a lot of secrets.

I saw Lianhua's husband back there.

He's just a scholar.

He's innocent.

Why are you ignoring me?

What's wrong?

What's happening?

Shen Miu, talk to me.

You can't drink this.

Why?

Can't you see?

The tea looks strange.

It's turned red.

It's none of your concern.

I...

Jiangzhu, have some dishes.

Qingniang,

Shen Miu

can't see colors, right?

His Highness was born that way.

People at court avoided him like plaque

and called him a jinx.

Consort Xian

blamed this on herself

and died depressed.

He's been

colorblind since birth?

Is he born with

a cloud mark on his chest?

Yeah.

How did you know?

He told me when we were kids.

And I saw it again

the other day.

On the 8th day of the 6th month,

12 years ago, did he go to Guwu Forest?

That thing

did happen at that time.

Right.

It's Guwu Forest.

His Highness did go there.

Then he's the one who saved me.

Mom, I'm scared!

Kid, don't be afraid.

I'll get you out.

We've been walking in the woods forever.

What if the bad guys catch us again?

Don't worry.

There's an auspicious cloud on me.

They say

it's a sign of good fortune.

Look.

I've only seen stars made from gunpowder.

Never a cloud on a person.

Stars made from gunpowder?

What's that?

Fireworks!

My mom taught me.

You light them

and they

burst like stars in the sky.

So beautiful.

When I grow up, I'll make some for you.

Pinky swear?

Pinky swear.

Got you.

Kid, run!

[Anyway,]

[he saved my life.]

[Without him, I'd be dead.]

[I promised to]

[show him colorful fireworks.]

[But he can only see black and white.]

[How else can I get her blood]

[to break the love curse]

[without using dirty tricks?]

[She's just a Jadeling.]

[She's a monster.]

[Even if I kiss her,]

[it's not improper.]

[Lucky Cloud,]

[poor thing.]

I'm done eating.

[I was going to sneak back tonight.]

[But I'm staying for you.]

[I spoiled her appetite?]

What's wrong with her?

Your Highness,

Jiangzhu was asking about

your past.

She said you saved her.

Did you save her in Guwu Forest

12 years ago?

Guwu Forest?

[So]

[he's the guy who saved]

[her?]

I trust Uncle Miu.

He wouldn't imprison you without reason.

I can release you,

but you need to be honest.

What exactly did you do?

I just...

I touched a married woman's

hand on the way back,

and Prince of Yan locked me up.

But Shen Miu has secrets too.

I've seen that woman

he brought back.

She's no ordinary person.

How so?

Your Highness, you're fighting

Prince of Yan for Crown Prince.

I'll tell you everything I've seen.

But I want gold and promotion in return.

If that Yilan witch doctor

Yunshuang saved was telling the truth,

I could help him see colors.

But the method

is horrible.

No,

he saved my life.

I owe him a great debt.

I have to repay him.

But there are guards outside.

How can I sneak out

to find the herbs he needs?

That Yang Ping

is rotten to the core.

He's a threat.

Get rid of him.

Got it.

I need to

get close to the girl

who saved both Uncle Miu and me.

Your Highness?

You saved me the other day.

I should have thanked

you properly.

You're welcome.

With your status,

you must have many rare treasures.

If you really want to thank me,

could you do me a favor?

Of course.

I really want to

repay your kindness.

These ingredients are fine,

but don't make medicine

with this formula.

It makes people glow,

but it's forbidden.

Zhaohua,

you've learned a little medicine

and think you're some great healer?

Then tell me,

who's this formula for?

Is it for

His Majesty?

Just do as I say.

Unless you tell me everything,

I won't do it.

I'll

forget this formula.

You!

You can't do this,

but you're excellent at

seducing powerful men.

Uncle!

You went after Prince of Yan,

but once you knew he was cursed

and couldn't accede to the throne,

you used treating illness as a cover

to hook up with the Grand Heir.

I didn't!

Alright.

You're my niece.

Don't bother explaining.

Typical of women.

I've seen

this game before.

But listen,

in this palace,

only family

can protect you.

The Grand Heir is generous.

His Highness gave me this rare snake

and had you bring me into the palace.

We've kept that snake

to treat His Highness's leg condition.

But it hasn't done much these years.

By the way, what do you need it for?

You jerk!

You old pervert,

stop harassing her!

Somebody help...

Don't be scared, miss.

This shameless old bastard

needs a lesson.

- Wait a sec. - Miss!

I...

Wait, he...

Here, take it.

- Miss... - Throw it at him.

Miss!

H-He...

He is my uncle.

Uncle?

H-Help!

U-Uncle?

I'll save him.

Miss,

is your uncle

okay?

He's

furious.

Though he's my uncle,

I couldn't be happier

to see him like that.

You have a pretty smile.

And you smell so nice.

If you don't mind,

just call me Zhaohua.

Zhaohua,

I'm Jiangzhu.

Jiang means crimson. Zhu means vermillion.

Jiangzhu?

By the way,

that snake is highly toxic.

What do you need it for?

How toxic?

Enough to kill

ten pigs.

That's scary.

Only the gallbladder

of the Golden Scale Snake

fed on my blood can cure Miu's eyes.

Your Highness, I wasn't paying attention.

- Jiangzhu dug a hole - And then?

in the backyard

and brought back a Golden Scale Snake.

Ouch!

That sounds like Jiangzhu.

Its fangs bit so deep.

It hurts.

Jiangzhu!

Shen Miu, you can't...

It hurts so bad.

I'm gonna pass out.

Jiangzhu?

Jiangzhu?

Jiangzhu?

You're awake?

I'm thirsty.

What?

I want water.

Here.

Where's my snake?

I threw it away.

You what?

That snake was venomous.

It bit you.

You almost lost your hand.

I took care of it.

How did you take care of it?

I burned it.

Burned it?

Can

we still get the gallbladder?

You!

That snake

drank my blood.

Its gallbladder could let you see colors.

You just burned it?

You saved my life.

I can never

repay that.

Never mind.

I'll find another one

and feed it my blood again.

So

you fed it your blood

just to cure

my colorblindness?

What if

I wasn't the man you're looking for?

You're not?

I...

What's wrong?

Shen Miu,

you...

What happened?

Are you okay?

Shen Miu!

What's the matter?

When you sucked out the poison,

you drank my blood?

A Jadeling's blood will cause

rejection in the destined one's system.

That's why I can't break the curse!

Shen Miu!

Shen Miu!

Shen Miu!

You'll be in agony if this keeps up.

Commander Cheng,

this is the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

You barge in

with so many

soldiers unannounced.

What's this about?

By His Majesty's command, I'm here

to bring Prince of Yan to the palace.

What command?

Seven days ago,

the Grand Heir was ambushed on the street.

Prince of Yan was on the scene.

Arrows of Legio Red Talon were

turned in two days ago.

Given Grandfather's temperament,

the Imperial Guard

will soon make a move.

Uncle,

you better watch yourself.

His Majesty orders

Prince of Yan to assist in the investigation.

Anyone who resists

will die!

How dare you?
