General, this is the truth serum.

It compels people to reveal their true thoughts.

We used this very drug when interrogating spies before.

He confessed everything. It works well.

Really?

Don't try to fool me now.

I wouldn't dare.

Truth serum.

General, don't.

This drug is potent. Just one whiff and it takes effect.

That powerful?

This stuff is perfect.

Xinnian and Shiqi.

Their progress is way too slow.

If we could get Xinnian to confess her true feelings to Shiqi,

they'd definitely reconcile.

Exactly.

Alright then.

To ensure it works flawlessly,

the two of you,

go and drug them every hour.

Okay.

Yes.

Xinnian, what brings you here?

Grandfather said your pillow was hard.

He let me bring you a softer one.

It smells so nice.

What's wrong?

I...

It smells so nice.

So nice.

Shiqi, you smell so nice.

Xinnian.

Do you...

Do you like me?

Yes.

I like you.

You like me?

Then why have you been avoiding me?

Lu Shiqi.

I'm sorry.

We've been through a lot.

You've done a lot for my family

and for me.

I...

But I kept misunderstanding you.

And I nearly cost you your life.

I...

I feel like such a fool.

If...

If I could be like you,

if I had the strength to protect my family

and you,

then

you wouldn't have to suffer so much.

That's why...

I want to travel the world with my sword.

When I return, my training complete,

I'll be able to protect my family

and even

protect you.

Xinnian.

I'm sorry.

I was wrong about what happened

to your family.

I...

I shouldn't have let you face it alone.

From now on,

I'll always listen to your thoughts.

No matter...

No matter what you want to do,

I'll stand by your side.

Side by side.

Side by side.

Lu Shiqi.

I really like...

I really like you.

Time's almost up.

Danruo.

I have something to tell you.

Shijiu.

Actually, I have something to tell you too.

Then you go first.

You say it first.

You little rascal! You slipped me truth serum?

No, you too?

I...

You brat, playing dirty with me!

What are you doing?

Danruo.

Let me be honest.

I... I...

I really like you.

The money for your freedom,

I've already prepared it.

If you're willing,

I'll marry you.

What? You're not willing?

Yes.

I've confessed my feelings.

You haven't yet.

Is there any better way

to show you my heart than this?

My lady, why is your face red?

Who's your lady?

We've performed the wedding ceremony and spent the lovely night together.

How can you still deny being my lady?
