Then how can I help?

Sheng,

it's a pity you're not a movie star.

This elaborate scheme of playing the victim is truly masterful.

Even the heavens above

would pity you.

(Harmony Above All)

(Harmony Above All)

Young Marshal.

You're back.

Just got back.

(Nautical Logbook)

(My father's signature.)

(Dai Shiyao's signature.)

(The eighth of the fourth month.)

(So it was indeed his order)

(that replaced our Qin family's cargo.)

(This hypocrite!)

You didn't come home all night.

Where were you?

You didn't even knock.

I'm talking to you.

None of your business.

You were gone all night.

I was worried about you.

So fake.

- What are you doing? - Why did you lie to me?

Lied about what?

You slandered my father.

You play the good guy, but it was you who destroyed my family!

I want to see how much

falsehood fills your heart!

Why didn't you dodge?

If you don't believe me

and insist on killing me,

I accept it.

This life is yours to take.

Deep down,

you don't truly believe I'm the culprit.

I can spare you.

But you haven't cleared your name.

If you lie to me by even one more word,

I...

only one of us will walk away.

You... you're bleeding.

Go find a doctor.

is my fiancee.

I, Dai Shiyao, believe in her.

No one shall disrespect her.

♪When the rain will fall, and when the moon will meet the shadow♪

I began investigating

before the incident.

Please give me some time.

I will investigate thoroughly

and give everyone an explanation.

Madam, it's almost dark now.

You've slept all day.

A doctor came to the house.

Young Marshal was stabbed again

by a villain.

Grandma will join dinner later.

She asks you to wait for her.

What?

Feeling guilty for what you did?

Afraid now?

Did this bowl offend you?

I like things clean.

Fine.

Then wipe Grandma's, too.

I thought about it last night.

You're hiding something from me, aren't you?

Yes.

You do care about me,

and don't believe I'm the murderer.

But you do have some evidence

pointing squarely at me.

Yet you can't kill me.

Killing me might execute an innocent

and permanently

bury your Qin family's vindication.

So you're torn inside.

And you didn't sleep well.

If in these past few days,

aside from Sheng's Night Queen,

you've been nowhere else.

Then that evidence came from Sheng.

My brother

I have work to attend to.

Remember to clean Grandma's bowl.

Let's go.

Dai Shiyao!

♪Spring comes late after the snow♪

♪Through all the joy and sorrow♪

♪Stories untold on the busy street♪

If you don't believe me,

this life is yours to take.

If you lie to me by even one more word,

I...

only one of us will walk away.

I take care of Young Marshal every day.

I swear on my life

that he is a good man.

♪Love grows wildly in my soul♪

♪Longing weaves its net♪

♪I dare not speak or meet your gaze♪

♪Yet I crave the light in your eyes♪

Don't forget your umbrella.

You're injured.

You shouldn't get wet.

♪After splendor comes desolation♪

The knife was yours,

and so was the umbrella.

If you don't want it, fine.

Don't worry.

I will uncover the truth

and clear your family's name.

So you can accept me wholeheartedly.

Tomorrow, I'll take you to the shooting range

and teach you to use a gun.

Grandma!

Rainy days

are perfect for sleeping.

This nap has left me sore.

Let me give you a massage.

Where's Shiyao?

Adjutant Wen came for Shiyao earlier.

They left together.

Oh? Not "Young Marshal" anymore?

Calling him "Shiyao" now?

Good.

Seeing you two finally reconciled

gladdens

my heart.

You know,

you and your sister are both remarkable.

Back then,

your sister occasionally chatted with me.

She was so gentle and unhurried.

Whenever she saw Shiyao,

she wouldn't even dare lift her eyes.

But you're different.

You've tamed the formidable

Young Marshal himself.

That's not true.

Alright,

I'll stop teasing you.

Once the city calms down a bit,

I'll go with you to visit your family's graves.

Oh, I spoke carelessly.

I brought up something that hurts you.

My fault.

It's my fault.

But the grudge isn't settled yet.

I still don't have the face to see them.

Have you forgotten what I said?

You are my Dai family's granddaughter-in-law.

What vengeance?

Your eye.

The rear sight.

The aim.

And the bottle.

Keep aligned.

Keep the gun steady.

Gently press with your finger.

It's fine; try again.

This is way too far.

No way I can hit that.

If you learn how to shoot,

then next time you see your enemy,

you can take them down in one shot.

Aren't you afraid that once I learn,

you might be the one I hurt?

If I'm willing to teach you,

it means your family's matter

has some new leads.

What kind of leads?

Mingmen Shipping keeps a low profile,

but its overseas records still exist.

(Investigation) On April 9th,

Mingmen Shipping passed Huanghai to Jizhou.

That day, your father did ship goods.

They left with porcelain

but arrived in Jizhou with fabric.

Someone swapped the cargo en route.

Why would they do that?

Your father built my finance system

in Nancheng.

Someone's trying

to cut off my supply line.

Then my father...

I still haven't figured out

who swapped the goods,

but this piece of evidence

at least proves that when the cargo left port,

your father was in the clear.

Continue.

Here are all your dishes.

Your wound's still not healed,

and you had me train all day.

It didn't make it worse, right?

A slow apprentice

takes more energy.

I'm not slow.

Didn't I shoot pretty well in the end?

Of course.

I was asking about your injury.

Has it gotten worse?

Just stop

picking fights with me daily.

That's because you tell me nothing.

If I told you before I was sure,

it'd just add one more burden.

I only want you to be happy.

Leave the rest to me.

Tired?

Not at all.

I've been teaching you all afternoon.

Don't I deserve a reward?

So stingy.

You want a reward?

Work usually comes with pay.

Even soldiers get paid when marching.

Then...

I'll sing you a song?

Sing a song?

I may not sing as well as a singer,

but it's worth a listen.

Go ahead.

The Young Marshal in Nancheng

is nothing but a coward

and is scared of death.

Look at me.

I walk in and out of Nancheng freely

because Dai Shiyao fears my uncle.

The two cities are so close.

He's just a turtle hiding in its shell.

Some time ago,

I caused a little trouble.

My uncle met him at the city gate.

He was scared out of his wits

and brought a chest of gold to apologize.

A chest of gold?

What are you doing?

Drink with me.

I'm just a waitress.

Let go of me.

Do you know what cherry blossom means?

I'm not being difficult.

I have a Japanese friend.

Say "Welcome" to him in Japanese.

Then I'll let you go.

Say it.

Darn it.

I caught a Japanese female spy.

Please, let me go.

Let me go, please.

Come on.

Everyone, take a look.

In Nancheng,

I caught a treacherous traitor.

I caught

this traitor red-handed.

There she is.

This wine

is smooth and mellow.

That drink was spiked.

Can't you see it?

Try it.

Don't be scared.

That traitor

is hiding in the diner behind me.

Where are you going?

I'm going to get her out.

With what, exactly?

If I don't help her,

even if she survives,

she'll end up like me,

carrying shame forever.

Sir,

you've got it wrong.

♪Spring comes late after the snow♪

You reek of alcohol.

You're a disgrace in these times.

If it weren't for your uncle's sake,

you wouldn't see another sunrise.

I was asking about your injury.

Has it gotten worse?

Just stop

picking fights with me daily.

Madam,

you didn't have nightmares last night?

I slept quite well.

That's wonderful.

Since you moved in,

you've had nightmares almost every night.

You finally slept peacefully.

Where's the Young Marshal?

He went to the Military Affairs Office

early this morning.

You don't have to be so tight-lipped.

Dai Congling is my uncle.

Even if you spell everything out,

I'm not going to do anything to him.

I really

don't know anything more.

Let me ask you again from the start.

Did Dai Congling forge the secret tip from Chongqing,

naming the Qins traitors?

The Qins

are indeed traitors.

Grandma.

I've been meaning to spend more time with you.

From now on,

join me in copying scriptures.

Sincerity brings blessings.

Old Madam,

the Young Marshal is back.

He's just back.

Why the fuss? Don't shout like that.

The Young Marshal has been hurt.

What kind of injury?

They say it's a knife wound.

Come with me to get some medicated ointment.

Let's go.

(First Step to Success)

I heard you got injured.

It's nothing.

It's just a shame that I lost

two brothers who've been with me for years.

Maybe you should lay off the drinks.

What are you doing here?

Grandma sent me to change your dressing.

Thanks.

Should I call a doctor for you?

I think your wound

is starting to get infected.

No need.

But I...

Are you scared?

You're the timidest in your family.

You were even scared of caterpillars as a kid.

Now that you're here,

your jaw shakes every time you see me.

If you're still as timid as before,

call the doctor.

Come here.

Ouch.

Just call the doctor.

I am the doctor.

Bear with it.

No screaming.

Done.

A military doctor once told me

the best cure for an illness is...

What do you mean?

Don't move.

Let go of me.

You're hurt.

Why are you biting me?

How could you treat me like this?

I choose to treat you this way.

You're hurt.

You need to rest and recover.

Sooner or later, it's all the same.

Why are you turning me down?

We're unmarried.

There's no reason.

You're still doubting me?

♪Spring comes late after the snow♪

Not anymore.

♪Stories untold on the busy street♪

♪Lost you as I turned♪

♪Through a haze of dust♪

I know you like me.

You can't fool me.

♪Cold or tender♪

Between us,

it's not just my father being framed.

There's also my sister you let down.

If she were still alive,

you would have married her.

The one worrying when you're hurt

would also be her.

♪I dare not speak or meet your gaze♪

The one you'd kiss would be her.

The cure for your pain

could only be her.

♪After splendor comes desolation♪

♪When I've braved the world's storms♪

between us.

We can't just

be together without a care.

has always been you,

not your sister.

♪Through a haze of dust♪

♪Reunion masked by moonlight♪

You're drunk.

Madam.

Madam, something's wrong!

Jinxiu.

Why didn't you knock first?

No.

I heard...

I heard the Young Marshal had a high fever all night.

Now he's fallen unconscious.

Where's the medicated ointment Grandma gave me?

Madam, please calm down.

Wait for me.

Grandma.

Physician.

How's the Young Marshal doing?

His condition is still uncertain.

We need to get the medicine ready right away.

Let me prepare it.

Boil three bowls down to one.

Do not lift the lid,

or it'll weaken its effect

and lose half its potency.

Grandma.

The medicine is ready?

You look exhausted.

You should go rest first.

I can take care of him.

Alright then.

I can't crash

before Shiyao gets better.

I barely slept last night.

I was always worried.

I'll go get some rest then.

Thanks for the effort, Shiyue.

My pleasure.

Before I got here,

what medicine did you give him?

Just some anti-inflammatory remedies.

Was there forsythia or schizonepeta in it?

I'm not sure.

The physician prescribed this.

Where's the prescription?

Give it to me.

I didn't keep it.

What did he eat last night?

Did he have any other tonics?

When I left last night, he drank...

My cure

has always been you.

The Young Marshal was fine yesterday.

Miss Qin,

as his fiancée,

you know nothing about him.

What exactly are you up to?

Forget it; just leave.

Stop getting in the way here.

(I stabbed him yesterday.)

(It has nothing to do with this, right?)

(What if someone sees that wound?)

(Should I tell someone about it?)

How did Dai Shiyao get hurt?

They said he fought scouts in Wuyi Alley.

I'm asking you:

What's the story behind the stab wound?

He's got exceptional skills.

No one can get close enough to touch him

except for you.

Right.

I injured him by accident.

An accident?

You nearly pierced his whole shoulder.

If he were hit by shrapnel

or grazed by bullets,

those can still be called accidents.

But a short blade

was driven straight into his shoulder.

You call that an accident?

That's between me and the Young Marshal.

This is a marital affair.

I owe you no explanation.

I get it now.

When there's danger,

you hide behind marital affairs.

When there's no danger,

you suspect him, hurt him,

and play your revenge games.

Don't think I don't know what's on your mind.

He's been digging into your case,

staying up all night at the Police Bureau.

He's done so much for you,

but you

treat him like a murderer.

Do you even have a brain

or any feelings at all?

If you've got time to argue with me,

go treat the Young Marshal.

If you hadn't stabbed him,

could a few scouts have hurt him?

I wouldn't have had to treat his wounds.

If anything happens to him,

all of Nancheng will be in danger.

Qin Shiyue.

Think this through carefully.

What matters more to you,

your family's honor or Nancheng?

What's your name?

Come here.

I'll call you Gray.

Madam.

You haven't eaten all night.

Have something.

Jinxiu.

Do you think I'm unworthy of the Young Marshal?

Of course not.

From what I see,

you and the Young Marshal are meant to be.

What about Su Wanwan?

Su Wanwan acting eager like that

at most could be a concubine.

She'd have to greet you every day

and bring your foot bath.

So, you also believe the Young Marshal

would marry several women?

Families of such standing

often have a few concubines.

But I think the Young Marshal only has eyes for you.

Gray.

Do you believe what she said?

I sure don't.

Madam...

You just recovered.

You still need more bed rest.

I'm fine.

I just wanted to take a walk

and get some fresh air.

I saved your life this time.

Don't you owe me one?

Alright.

I want to join the army.

I want to be your combat medic.

Wait.

Did Wanwan upset you?

No.

Then why won't you even look at me?

What did she tell you?

Miss Su is selfless.

Whatever she says is right.

I'm just being petty.

I think you're sulking.

No.

You're feeling wronged.

No.

And maybe a little jealous.

Not at all.

In my heart,

I don't care about selflessness.

I only care about my wife.

Stop saying things like that.

Alright.

Grandma wants us to take wedding photos tomorrow.

She says it's for a keepsake.

We'll go in the morning.

- I don't want to. - That's an order.

I'm not your soldier.

It's Grandma's order.

Alright.
