Changning!

Changning!

Shut up!

Xiao Huaijin!

Let go of him!

Save your breath.

Give me the letter.

If not,

I'll kill him right now.

You've already killed me once.

Now, you're even

trying to kill my only kin!

I'll never let you off!

Never!

I hate myself

for not eradicating your soul

and preventing you from having a second life!

You and your father

caused the Shen family to be massacred.

You guys had committed many atrocious deeds!

But the heavens were fair.

They gave me a chance to repay the favor!

With you alone?

You think you can ruin my family?

Try it if you dare.

Give me

the letter!

Changning!

Changning!

Changning! Save me!

- Yunqi! - Changning!

Yunqi?

Don't come near me.

Don't come near me!

That hurt,

Changning...

♪In youthful days of righteousness♪

Have you lost your mind?

He's my only kin!

Yunqi!

I thought you wanted to seek revenge.

I'm just helping you out here.

Now, you no longer have any weak points.

You can do it without any hesitations now.

♪Looking back upon heaven and earth♪

I thought...

I thought you had no choice!

I thought you truly intended to help me out!

It turned out that everything was merely

my wishful thinking!

You've always been

the ruthless Governor Pei all along.

You never changed at all!

Benevolence is a valuable trait.

Not everyone can afford it.

Yes.

I was such a fool!

I mistook your casual flings for affection.

I mistook your ulterior motives as sincerity.

You don't need to be too upset.

Now, Xiao Huaijin

no longer has the goods on you.

Moreover, Shen Yunqi is also a member of the Shen family.

Isn't it his duty

to contribute to the family?

Shut up!

Do not say the Shen family again in front of me.

You don't have the right!

From this moment onward,

our ties are severed.

♪Both like a dream and yet so real♪

♪One thought waits through wind and snow♪

♪In memories pure and bright♪

♪Recalling a bygone chapter of our lives♪

♪I have no regrets in this♪

Yunqi!

Changning,

can you not abandon me again

in the future?

I won't ever

abandon you again.

=Episode 27= (I mistook your casual flings for affection)

(Shen Clan)

(Shen Clan)

(Father,)

(Mother,)

(I've sinned.)

(I've sinned for trusting the wrong person,)

(causing Yunqi's death.)

(They want us to bury the grievances of the Shen family)

(underground forever.)

(But I won't let them get their way.)

(I will fight them to the end,)

(even if it means I have to stake my life.)

Shen Wenyuan of the Grand Canal Transport System

had diligently managed his business for decades!

He paid taxes to the royal court

and distributed charitable wealth among the common people.

But he was framed!

And, his entire clan was massacred without mercy!

I'm sounding the drum to voice out my grievance!

Heaven, please get rid of evil!

The world is unfair!

Let Heaven's justice prevail!

I hereby plead the Court of Judicial Review

to reopen the case of the Shen family's massacre

and clear our name!

I'm here to beat the drum to plead for justice!

May the heavens rid the world of such great evil!

The world is unfair!

Let Heaven's justice prevail!

I hereby plead the Court of Judicial Review

to reopen the case of the Shen family's massacre

and clear our name!

Reporting for no reason

and disturbing the people.

Take her away.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Get inside!

I won't let off anyone who dares to

stop me from clearing the Shen family's name.

You think you can kill me?

I'm afraid you're not capable enough yet.

You were the one who seized and captured my family members.

And now, you're stopping me from clearing their names.

Why don't you kill me with a single strike

and claim credit in front of your master?

You're overestimating yourself.

Taking your life

is a piece of cake.

But His Majesty is wise.

The royal court only acts according to established laws and regulations.

As for the punishment you'll receive,

the law will decide that.

My entire family suffered a wrongful death!

Now, you want to talk about the law?

You'd better think about

how precious your life is.

You'd better kill me now.

If not,

as long as I'm alive,

I won't let anyone suppress

the case of my family's massacre.

Governor.

Keep guard beside the cell.

Do not allow anyone to approach the cell.

What are you up to now?

Give her a brush and some ink.

Write a statement stating

that you falsely accused an imperial official.

I won't write a single word!

How did Shu fall sick out of the blue?

It was sudden news.

It was said to be an acute illness.

Nobody touches her.

What if that person is burdened with

a blood feud she can't let go of?

If so,

I shall become her sword.

I will cleave her foes

and slay all of her enemies.

Once we managed to overturn the case of Shen family's massacre,

we should withdraw to the mountains and forests

and travel the world.

What do you think?

Governor, what you said

was what I desired as well.

♪My heart tied to the southbound geese♪

♪Who sends a letter through the clouds?♪

♪People scatter♪

♪A curtain of quiet dreams stranded♪

♪Lonely and heartbroken♪

♪A little fleeting joy♪

♪It's unbearable to talk about♪

You're drunk.

♪Longing♪

I don't want you to wake up with regrets.

Sleep well.

♪Laughter cannot outweigh separation♪

♪A paper of mist and rain♪

Once everything is over,

I'll surely light

the brightest lantern for you.

♪Remember how it all began♪

♪A trace of rouge has frozen into frost♪

♪A lifetime of devotion ends in heartbreak♪

♪Tears fall in endless lines♪

♪The moon fills the western window♪

♪How many loves and grudges in this mortal world♪

♪Are spoken into parting through sleepless nights♪

Benevolence is a valuable trait.

Not everyone can afford it.

From now on, our ties are severed.

Reporting for no reason

and disturbing the people.

Take her away.

(I entrusted my heart to him,)

(and even went through thick and thin with him.)

(But in the end? It was all just a dream.)

It's on fire! We need help!

Changning!

(How come it ended like this)

(even though I'd already given it my all?)

(I refuse to accept this.)

(End of Episode)

I'll take her away by hook or by crook today.

Kneel and beg,

and I might give you a chance to do so.
