(Fate of Southern love)

(Episode 24)

Who are you?

Guards! Help!

My lady, what happened?

A scoundrel just showed up out of nowhere.

In broad daylight,

he barged into the General's Residence.

- Take him away! - Quick, restrain him!

My lady!

I brought a letter from your father.

I'm pretty sure

that His Majesty wants to arrange a marriage for you and Prince Ning.

The messenger came from the palace.

What did it say?

Father said

His Majesty intended

to grant me and Prince Ning a marriage.

You have always had feelings for Prince Ning since you were little.

Now,

your wish is about to come true.

No way.

You can't marry Zhou Nan Zhi.

Where did this rascal come from?

How dare you act so wildly here?

Do you really not remember?

Fine.

Even if you haven't awakened yet,

you absolutely can't marry Zhou Nan Zhi.

Otherwise, everything will start repeating endlessly.

We've already succeeded.

We can change the ending.

What are you talking about?

Jin Zhu, this world is just a storybook.

You, me, everyone here,

we're all just characters in this story.

You'll die on your wedding night with Zhou Nan Zhi.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

If you don't leave right now,

I'm calling the authorities.

Fine.

I'll show you

what I really mean.

What are you doing?

Put me down!

You jerk! Let go of me!

If you're in trouble, you can tell me.

My father will help you.

We have strict laws. Don't do anything foolish.

It's okay if you don't remember. You always wake up before I do anyway.

But you have to trust me.

You'll die on your wedding night if you marry Zhou Nan Zhi.

But I already know how to change all of this.

What are you even talking about?

Why can't I understand any of this?

I'll tell you one last time.

I don't know you.

And I have nothing to do with you.

You barged into the General's Residence out of nowhere,

talked nonsense,

and ruined my reputation.

If someone saw me struggling with a man in public,

no matter what I say, I'd never clear my name.

Of course, if you take me back now,

I promise that my family won't hold you responsible.

Lady Jin, you've always valued propriety and etiquette.

But now, you were seen with a man in public,

and had physical contact with him.

You can't marry anyone else now.

I'll follow all the proper betrothal customs

and marry you with a grand wedding procession.

You used this excuse last time.

How will you refuse me this time?

My only wish since I was a child

is to marry Prince Ning.

Now, the imperial marriage is almost set.

What did I ever do to offend you?

You don't believe me about the fictitious world, do you?

What are you doing?

I'll prove to you

that what I said is true.

You...

You're awake.

Look at this.

This will help you remember.

Look, you drew this yourself.

This village, this courtyard,

you created all of it, stroke by stroke.

Every storybook

can create a world that feels almost real.

You drew it,

and accidentally created this extra space for the story.

You can find this place at the edge of the scene.

Look.

Isn't it exactly the same?

That's just ridiculous.

Then tell me.

Why, in this world,

do red hawthorn flowers exist?

As for that,

you should ask the Imperial Gardens who manages the plants.

How would I know?

Because you painted them yourself.

You wanted these hawthorn flowers

to be bright and dazzling,

one of a kind.

Hawthorn flowers are always white.

But the one you drew

is red. Why is that?

Because it's vibrant

and unique.

The ink has already faded.

How could I possibly believe what you're saying?

Fine.

Let's leave it at that.

Look.

You once said

we lived here.

This would be me,

- and this would be you. - Enough.

I get it now.

You've mistaken me for someone from your past.

You invented all these fantasy stories

and projected all your past memories

onto me.

We

Are strangers.

Goodbye.

Since you are so clear-headed,

then please explain this to me.

How did we jump off the city wall

and land without a scratch in this village?

Because you drew this place back then.

It has nothing to do with the rest of the story.

Only by falling from the edge of the scene

can you find this place.

Take a closer look.

You drew this with your own hand.

Your brushstrokes never change, do they?

That red hawthorn tree...

isn't it exactly the same?

Does any of this ring a bell?

No matter how hard I try,

I can't recall something that never happened.

I grew up in Jingdu,

and I've never left, not even once.

Let alone come to some remote village like this.

We fell from the city wall,

and I passed out.

When I woke up, I was here.

Whatever happened in between,

you can make it up however you want.

As for that hawthorn tree,

whether the painting came first

or the flower,

that's just your word against mine.

Let me make this clear for you.

This world is just a storybook tale.

We're both just supporting characters in it.

You don't love Zhou Nan Zhi.

And Zhou Nan Zhi loves someone else.

If you marry him, you'll die on your wedding night.

You've fought countless times to escape this fate.

I've awakened again and again,

just to love you.

You expect me to believe all this nonsense

just because of a few paintings

and this room?

Don't be foolish.

I don't know what you're after,

but I have a lot to prepare back at my home.

Goodbye.

Of course,

my family won't hold you

accountable for what happened today.

If we meet again,

just pretend we never met.

Snow.

Snow can prove it.

We're in the middle of summer.

How could it possibly snow?

If it really snows in summer,

then you will know

I'm telling the truth.

Ridiculous.

Whether it's ridiculous or not,

Lady Jin, stay here

and you'll see in a moment.

I'm going back.

I never said I'd respect your wishes.

You're shameless.

Thanks for the compliment, Lady Jin.

Aren't you afraid His Majesty will punish you?

I'll be honest with you.

I impersonated the Empress's brother, Lou Si Yi, and returned to Jingdu.

I'm actually the Emperor's son.

I only came back to seize the throne.

But all of this is just some boring plot.

I honestly don't care.

- Then what do you care about? - You.

In countless cycles,

as long as I awaken first,

I can awaken you too.

This time,

it won't be any different.

All right.

If you're so sure,

let's make a deal.

If before sunset,

it snows,

I'll believe you.

If it doesn't,

you let me go.

We won't see each other again.

How could there be snow in the middle of summer?

You've lost.

Wait a little longer.

Wait a little longer.

For how long?

A moment?

An hour? A day?

Or a year?

You really should end this farce now.

Jin Zhu.

Please, don't be so stubborn.

After today,

we will never meet again.

It's snowing.

It's snowing, Jin Zhu.

Jin...

It's snowing.

It's snowing, Jin Zhu.

It's snowing.

Mr. Feng.

We've searched all over Jingdu

and couldn't find any trace of the general.

About the General's plan...

The General must become impotent

to hide his true intention.

For the success of the plan, we must find the General.

Yes.

Jin Zhu.

Jin Zhu.

Jin Zhu.

That's enough! I've already told you so many times.

Prepare to die.

- General... - The plan has changed.

Leave.

Prince Ning.

What are you doing here?

Why did you come back?

Weren't you supposed to be away for another month according to the story?

Are you all right?

Prince Ning, did you come back for your birthday?

Jin Zhu.

You said

if it really snowed,

you'd believe I was telling the truth.

Look.

It's really snowing.

It's just a jar of water.

What does that prove?

No.

It melted.

The snow melted.

But you have to believe me.

- It really did snow. - Whether

it snows or not

doesn't matter to me.

Even if it really did snow, so what?

I don't know you. And I definitely won't fall for you.

Besides,

there's already someone I love.

Don't you get it?

Jin Zhu.

I'm saying this really is snow.

I'd never lie to you. Just...

Enough is enough!

Lou Si Yi.

You can't change anything.

Just accept your fate.

Thank you, Prince Ning.

It's getting late.

You should head back and get some rest.

Jin Zhu.

What are you really planning?

- What? - You haven't lost your memory, isn't that right?
