[Adapted from Fuhua's novel,
Mrs. Mei's Way of Love]

3
00:01:36,190 --> 00:01:38,930
[Episode 30]

4
00:01:50,790 --> 00:01:51,920
We're finally out.

5
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:53,230
Yeah.

6
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,710
Feels like last night was all a dream.

7
00:01:57,070 --> 00:01:58,280
Good thing we woke up.

8
00:01:58,870 --> 00:01:59,680
Chang'an

9
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,400
is still Chang'an.

10
00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:04,280
Let's go.

11
00:02:51,630 --> 00:02:52,470
Shu.

12
00:02:53,030 --> 00:02:54,960
Zhen, you're awake.

13
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,240
Did you know all along

14
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:05,800
that Mei Zhuyu was connected
to Changxi Palace?

15
00:03:11,630 --> 00:03:12,360
Yes.

16
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,470
Why didn't you tell me sooner?

17
00:03:14,870 --> 00:03:15,960
Because you said...

18
00:03:16,910 --> 00:03:17,800
I'll handle it myself.

19
00:03:18,910 --> 00:03:20,840
Whether it's good or bad,
I have to earn it myself.

20
00:03:22,910 --> 00:03:25,080
You've always preferred to
earn things on your own.

21
00:03:30,470 --> 00:03:31,240
I know.

22
00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:34,750
If you hadn't seen it
with your own eyes,

23
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:35,630
you'd never have

24
00:03:35,630 --> 00:03:37,310
given up on Mei Zhuyu.

25
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,030
But Zhen,

26
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,280
I really never expected

27
00:03:42,030 --> 00:03:43,560
it would end like this.

28
00:03:45,870 --> 00:03:47,030
I never thought that core

29
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,470
would be inside you.

30
00:03:52,630 --> 00:03:53,470
Shu.

31
00:03:57,190 --> 00:03:59,120
Why do you seem like
a stranger to me now?

32
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:31,950
You're still awake?

33
00:05:01,630 --> 00:05:02,480
You sat

34
00:05:03,190 --> 00:05:04,160
like this all night?

35
00:05:12,510 --> 00:05:14,240
How is Ms. Liu, really?

36
00:05:15,830 --> 00:05:17,680
I asked Ling Xiao early this morning.

37
00:05:17,950 --> 00:05:20,040
The Demon Market
nearly faced a disaster.

38
00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:22,430
Both Cat Lord
and Snake Lord were injured.

39
00:05:22,830 --> 00:05:24,720
But thankfully, it's nothing serious.
They'll pull through.

40
00:05:24,830 --> 00:05:25,800
Don't worry.

41
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,390
A disaster. And she was injured.

42
00:05:31,430 --> 00:05:32,800
How can I not worry?

43
00:05:34,750 --> 00:05:37,390
I said it's nothing serious.

44
00:05:37,390 --> 00:05:38,390
Nothing serious.

45
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,560
Do you only hear half of what I say?

46
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,390
But you mentioned life and death.

47
00:05:43,390 --> 00:05:44,600
It can't be simple.

48
00:05:45,310 --> 00:05:45,920
If I find out

49
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,680
who caused her so much trouble,

50
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,190
I'll beat them up.

51
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:51,870
You know this person.

52
00:05:51,870 --> 00:05:52,830
You're acquainted with them.

53
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:54,560
Who?

54
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,240
That cousin of yours

55
00:05:56,510 --> 00:05:58,800
who's much better-looking than you.

56
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:04,950
Zhuyu?

57
00:06:13,270 --> 00:06:16,160
They were out all night?

58
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,480
Perhaps Ms. Wu got carried away

59
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,190
and took Mr. Mei out for some fun.

60
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,680
Whenever he stayed out
all night before,

61
00:06:28,190 --> 00:06:29,920
he'd always let me know.

62
00:06:31,070 --> 00:06:32,480
Now it's like

63
00:06:33,390 --> 00:06:34,800
I don't exist to him.

64
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,270
Even if he wants to,

65
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,630
he can't focus on you anymore.

66
00:06:40,630 --> 00:06:41,480
I...

67
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,950
It's only right
that he devotes himself to Ms. Wu.

68
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:47,830
But I'm still

69
00:06:47,830 --> 00:06:49,630
the second most important person
in this household.

70
00:06:50,270 --> 00:06:50,920
No.

71
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,120
Third.

72
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:57,390
Fourth?

73
00:07:02,750 --> 00:07:04,190
Don't tell me fifth?

74
00:07:07,430 --> 00:07:09,240
If they planned to
celebrate his birthday out,

75
00:07:09,630 --> 00:07:10,950
why did Ms. Wu go to all the trouble

76
00:07:10,950 --> 00:07:12,190
preparing at home?

77
00:07:12,190 --> 00:07:13,190
What did she prepare?

78
00:07:14,950 --> 00:07:15,920
- My Lord?
- Mr. Mei?

79
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:17,720
Mr. Mei,

80
00:07:17,870 --> 00:07:19,950
didn't Ms. Wu return with you?

81
00:07:43,390 --> 00:07:44,830
My Lord, the food's gone cold.

82
00:07:52,190 --> 00:07:53,430
Her Ladyship must be back.

83
00:08:12,510 --> 00:08:13,270
Zhuyu.

84
00:08:28,430 --> 00:08:29,270
Zhuyu.

85
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:30,720
How could you

86
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,360
keep something this big from me?

87
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,190
So everyone has secrets

88
00:08:36,190 --> 00:08:37,440
except me.

89
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,150
You knew about the Demon Market long ago

90
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:41,720
and didn't tell me, did you?

91
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,550
I... I'm older than you.

92
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,670
It's only natural I'd be a step ahead.

93
00:08:47,870 --> 00:08:48,720
Besides...

94
00:08:49,150 --> 00:08:51,790
This is between you and Zhen.

95
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:53,440
How could I interfere?

96
00:08:56,910 --> 00:08:58,910
You really went into that Demon Market?

97
00:09:01,750 --> 00:09:03,000
What did you go there for?

98
00:09:04,550 --> 00:09:05,840
Don't you have your informants?

99
00:09:06,270 --> 00:09:07,240
Why ask me?

100
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,270
He isn't very reliable.

101
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:12,510
Only gave me a rough idea.

102
00:09:12,630 --> 00:09:13,600
And what is it?

103
00:09:16,030 --> 00:09:18,120
He's Mr. Ling under Ms. Liu.

104
00:09:18,150 --> 00:09:19,670
He said you barged
into the Demon Market

105
00:09:20,030 --> 00:09:20,840
and called you

106
00:09:21,030 --> 00:09:22,030
heartless.

107
00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:25,120
What are you really here for?

108
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:28,120
Zhuyu,

109
00:09:28,670 --> 00:09:30,600
didn't you enter
the Demon Market once before?

110
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:31,910
Can you get in again?

111
00:09:36,150 --> 00:09:37,000
Why?

112
00:09:37,510 --> 00:09:38,550
I am

113
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:40,910
really worried about Ms. Liu.

114
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,000
I've transferred
some demonic power to you.

115
00:10:17,390 --> 00:10:19,480
You should feel better for now.

116
00:10:23,030 --> 00:10:23,840
Thank you.

117
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,390
I should be thanking you.

118
00:10:28,630 --> 00:10:30,080
With your mortal body,

119
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,790
being a half-demon is hard enough,

120
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,200
yet you sealed it within yourself
for eighteen whole years.

121
00:10:37,550 --> 00:10:38,840
If not for this,

122
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:41,750
I'd never have known

123
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,270
that such a secret

124
00:10:44,030 --> 00:10:45,960
lay hidden inside me.

125
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,630
The former Cat Lord said

126
00:10:49,870 --> 00:10:51,750
there's no such thing as a free lunch.

127
00:10:53,390 --> 00:10:54,790
Everything comes at a cost.

128
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,790
I thought it meant
the duties of being a Cat Lord.

129
00:10:59,630 --> 00:11:00,510
I never imagined

130
00:11:03,390 --> 00:11:04,480
it was this.

131
00:11:32,150 --> 00:11:33,000
Zhuyu,

132
00:11:33,910 --> 00:11:36,390
Hey, when are you planning to
go to the Demon Market with me?

133
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,600
Aren't you well-connected?

134
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,080
Why not ask someone else?

135
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,000
Like Ling Xiao or Huzhu?

136
00:11:44,790 --> 00:11:46,030
You think I didn't try?

137
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,080
If any of them had agreed,

138
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,630
I wouldn't be here asking you.

139
00:11:50,790 --> 00:11:51,390
But

140
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:53,510
after asking around,

141
00:11:53,750 --> 00:11:55,200
I finally understood.

142
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:56,870
None of them get me.

143
00:11:58,790 --> 00:11:59,600
Zhuyu,

144
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,840
only you and I are in the same boat.

145
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:05,870
Si,

146
00:12:06,670 --> 00:12:09,000
I really can't take you
into the Demon Market.

147
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:11,790
It's fine.

148
00:12:12,150 --> 00:12:13,670
I'm patient.

149
00:12:14,150 --> 00:12:15,960
Let's see who can last longer.

150
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,630
Why are you still here?

151
00:12:37,670 --> 00:12:39,440
I'm here to take Zhen back to rest.

152
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,360
She's staying with me tonight.

153
00:12:43,550 --> 00:12:44,390
Why?

154
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,630
You know to keep your distance
when I'm disheveled.

155
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,840
Don't you know why I'd let Cat

156
00:12:49,910 --> 00:12:51,000
stay with me?

157
00:12:53,630 --> 00:12:55,390
I'll be staying with her
in the Demon Market these next few days.

158
00:12:55,750 --> 00:12:57,120
You focus on your duties.

159
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:30,200
Oh no.

160
00:13:49,790 --> 00:13:51,360
What did I drink?

161
00:13:51,910 --> 00:13:53,360
The aftereffect is hitting hard.

162
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:06,600
[Chang'an]

163
00:14:18,630 --> 00:14:19,150
Zhuyu.

164
00:14:19,750 --> 00:14:21,080
Good thing I made it in time
to see you off.

165
00:14:21,270 --> 00:14:22,550
That's a strong smell of alcohol.

166
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:24,440
If you're busy,

167
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:25,630
you didn't have to trouble yourself.

168
00:14:25,910 --> 00:14:27,200
It's not like we'll never
see each other again.

169
00:14:27,390 --> 00:14:29,000
ust come back when you have time.

170
00:14:29,270 --> 00:14:30,080
Absolutely.

171
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,360
I summoned the Changxi Mace
out of desperation earlier.

172
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,030
But I'm not truly part
of Changxi Palace.

173
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:40,360
It wouldn't be right for me

174
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:41,870
to keep it.

175
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:43,790
With the position
of sect leader now vacant,

176
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,080
Senior Xiaomu, I believe
you are the most fitting

177
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,120
to keep it.

178
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,630
Since Master left it to you,

179
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:51,910
it is yours.

180
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,270
Earlier, it was only because
Changming practiced dark arts

181
00:14:55,510 --> 00:14:57,120
that the Changxi Mace
refused to acknowledge him.

182
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,080
Senior Xiaomu, your heart is pure.

183
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,200
The Changxi Mace will recognize you.

184
00:15:01,910 --> 00:15:03,750
And, I haven't yet thanked you

185
00:15:04,510 --> 00:15:06,120
for your help

186
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,840
with the White Night Formation.

187
00:15:08,550 --> 00:15:09,390
White Night Formation?

188
00:15:09,790 --> 00:15:11,480
What does that have to do
with Senior Xiaomu?

189
00:15:19,910 --> 00:15:21,510
They can't come for a third time!

190
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:22,960
Senior Zhuyu can't take it again!

191
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,320
Yes. Once or twice is enough.

192
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:26,750
There shouldn't be a third time.

193
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,870
That night, though I saw
someone approach,

194
00:15:35,270 --> 00:15:37,270
I didn't know who he was

195
00:15:37,910 --> 00:15:40,030
or how much he interfered,

196
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,670
so I couldn't stop him in time.

197
00:15:44,270 --> 00:15:46,390
If not for your connection
with the Changxi Mace,

198
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:48,960
it could have been a disaster.

199
00:15:50,550 --> 00:15:52,440
Then you sent me down the mountain,

200
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:53,790
It seemed harsh,

201
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:55,550
but you escorted me all the way

202
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,480
and even gave me a fine horse.

203
00:15:58,270 --> 00:15:59,270
Senior Xiaomu, thank you.

204
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:01,030
Not just me.

205
00:16:01,910 --> 00:16:02,720
There's also it.

206
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,600
The Changxi Mace
was given to you by Master.

207
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,150
It will naturally protect you.

208
00:16:07,790 --> 00:16:09,550

209
00:16:09,670 --> 00:16:11,000
we can feel a bit more at ease.

210
00:16:11,630 --> 00:16:12,030
But Changxi Palace...

211
00:16:12,030 --> 00:16:13,240
Master said

212
00:16:14,030 --> 00:16:15,120
the duty of a Celestial Master

213
00:16:15,790 --> 00:16:17,630
should not be bound by a single mace.

214
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,670
Though Chang'an's Demon Market
isn't what Changming claimed,

215
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,600
it is still a place of strange beings.

216
00:16:22,750 --> 00:16:23,840
You remain in Chang'an

217
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,480

218
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,600
You will inevitably
encounter demons again.

219
00:16:29,630 --> 00:16:31,040

220
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,800
to fulfill your duty
as a Celestial Master.

221
00:16:34,270 --> 00:16:35,080
Yes.

222
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,030
I'm actually

223
00:16:39,670 --> 00:16:41,030
a bit reluctant to leave.

224
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:44,910
Forget it.

225
00:16:45,910 --> 00:16:48,150
Master said everything has its own fate.

226
00:16:48,670 --> 00:16:49,600
If fate allows,

227
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,080
we may meet again.

228
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:53,120

239

00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:09,960
You get to see Zhen,

373
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,310
and I can meet Ms. Liu.

374
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,160
What do you call that?

375
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:13,680
A win-win situation.

376
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:15,830
I thought you'd given up

377
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,720
since you haven't been

378
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:19,920
chasing after Ms. Liu lately.

379
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:21,590
How could I be like you?

380
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,070
I didn't want to disturb her.

381
00:25:24,830 --> 00:25:26,880
I just wanted to

382
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,350
watch over her from afar.

383
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:30,160
But now,

384
00:25:30,750 --> 00:25:32,110
thanks to you,

385
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,070
I can't see her

386
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,400
or watch over her.

387
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,440
What's in that fancy box?

388
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,350
A birthday gift from my father-in-law.

389
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:48,830
From Mr. Wu?

390
00:25:55,070 --> 00:25:56,510
They look nice.

391
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,830
One of you and one of Zhen?

392
00:26:13,030 --> 00:26:15,000
But they don't really
look like you guys.

393
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:18,750
You're not that cute,

394
00:26:20,310 --> 00:26:22,000
and Zhen isn't that gentle.

395
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,640
More like me and Ms. Liu.

396
00:26:27,030 --> 00:26:29,270
I really miss Ms. Liu.

397
00:27:10,550 --> 00:27:11,480
Why is it you?

398
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:13,640
Mr. Mei?

399
00:27:25,070 --> 00:27:26,110
Zhen?

400
00:27:26,790 --> 00:27:27,590
Snake.

401
00:27:27,590 --> 00:27:28,440
Zhen... Zhen.

402
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:43,790
Si?

403
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,920
Ms. Liu, so it's you.

404
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:57,510
So

405
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,510
it was Mei Si

406
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,920
who used these to swap bodies with me?

407
00:28:06,590 --> 00:28:08,960
They were from Duke of Wu.

408
00:28:10,070 --> 00:28:12,550
I had no idea
something like this would happen.

409
00:28:21,070 --> 00:28:21,960
Zhen,

410
00:28:22,790 --> 00:28:24,590
I really didn't expect this.

411
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:26,750
I just made a wish to the moon.

412
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,550
How did it actually work?

413
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,550
I really entered the Demon Market

414
00:28:32,510 --> 00:28:34,510
and saw Ms. Liu.

415
00:28:35,070 --> 00:28:37,790
But this isn't what I meant!

416
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:42,880
Stop crying now.

417
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:45,480
Stop crying!

418
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,160
I don't think

419
00:28:49,270 --> 00:28:50,790
this is about wishing to the moon.

420
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,110
What else did you do before coming here?

421
00:28:53,350 --> 00:28:54,550
I didn't do anything.

422
00:28:56,510 --> 00:28:57,550
There were two wooden dolls.

423
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,830
I played with them for a bit.

424
00:28:59,830 --> 00:29:01,110
- And then...
- Wooden dolls?

425
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,680
Is there something off about them?

426
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,720
Can we switch back then?

427
00:29:09,510 --> 00:29:10,270
Not sure.

428
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,480
We need to check those dolls first.

429
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:14,510
Then let's go.

430
00:29:14,510 --> 00:29:15,160
To your place.

431
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:15,920
My place?

432
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:16,440
Yeah.

433
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,110
Your unreliable father
sent those wooden dolls.

434
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,030
They're at your and Zhuyu's house.
Let's go.

435
00:29:40,590 --> 00:29:41,240
Greetings, lords.

436
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,510
Play your parts well.
Don't let anyone notice anything's off.

437
00:29:51,030 --> 00:29:51,920
Alright.

438
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,920
Wait, how am I supposed to act?

439
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:57,510
Be smart.

440
00:29:57,550 --> 00:29:58,350
Cat Lord.

441
00:29:59,110 --> 00:29:59,960
Snake Lord.

442
00:30:02,790 --> 00:30:04,160
Snake Lord, what's...?

443
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:05,030
She's sick.

444
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:06,400
Sick.

445
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:09,000
Sick?

446
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:10,880
Ms. Liu,

447
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,590
is she doing alright?

448
00:30:16,310 --> 00:30:17,310
Nothing serious for now.

449
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:19,880
You don't have to worry.

450
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,110
Ms. Liu!

451
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:28,030
Ms. Liu!

452
00:30:30,110 --> 00:30:30,960
Ms. Liu!

453
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:33,440
Ms. Liu.

454
00:30:34,310 --> 00:30:35,070
Mei Si,

455
00:30:35,350 --> 00:30:36,680
could you not make that expression

456
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:37,830
with my face?

457
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:47,240
Come with me.

458
00:30:49,030 --> 00:30:49,790
What for?

459
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,310
To switch our bodies back.

460
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:54,640
Alright.

461
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,070
Ms. Liu, it's these two.

462
00:31:10,350 --> 00:31:13,400
So can we switch back now?

463
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:14,550
How do we do it?

464
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:17,160
You're so noisy.

465
00:32:08,030 --> 00:32:08,880
Mei Zhuyu.

466
00:32:13,550 --> 00:32:14,240
You're back.

467
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,920
Hungry? Have something to eat.

468
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:18,880
We...

469
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:19,830
There's also Apricot Yellow.

470
00:32:21,110 --> 00:32:23,240
You prepared it
on the night of my birthday.

471
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,200
There's still some left.

472
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:28,750
You don't have to do this.

473
00:32:29,750 --> 00:32:31,200
You came to see me in your demon form,

474
00:32:32,110 --> 00:32:33,680
unafraid of being discovered.

475
00:32:34,550 --> 00:32:36,240
I know what you're about to say.

476
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:39,200
Dear.

477
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:41,350
I'm sorry.

478
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:44,880
I let you down

479
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,790
that night.

480
00:32:53,350 --> 00:32:54,240
The moonlight is beautiful.

481
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:56,480
I thought you might

482
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:57,550
enjoy drinking under the moon.

483
00:32:59,030 --> 00:33:00,510
At first, when you came to me,

484
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,200
you liked to drink here.

485
00:33:04,310 --> 00:33:06,510
Back then, I was always troubled
by how to handle

486
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:07,880
your persistence.

487
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,440
Now, after seasons have passed,

488
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,440
it's me who wants to pester you.

489
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:12,160
Come on.

490
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:16,350
Let's get a divorce.

491
00:33:23,590 --> 00:33:24,550
I said,

492
00:33:26,110 --> 00:33:27,400
let's get a divorce.

493
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:44,400
Maybe you don't care

494
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,030
if others know you're a disciple
of Changxi Palace.

495
00:33:48,510 --> 00:33:49,640
But I'm different.

496
00:33:50,550 --> 00:33:51,880
Young Lord,

497
00:33:52,070 --> 00:33:54,350
for the sake of our time
as husband and wife,

498
00:33:54,750 --> 00:33:55,750
please keep my secret.

499
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,960
If the people in Chang'an
learn of the Demon Market's existence,

500
00:34:01,030 --> 00:34:02,590
it will cause chaos.

501
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,160
Since returning from Qu,

502
00:34:13,150 --> 00:34:15,110
I am no longer a disciple
of Changxi Palace

503
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,800
We'll no longer be bound
by the palace rules.

504
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:21,960
Nor will we be constrained
by our positions.

505
00:34:28,710 --> 00:34:30,230
Whether you are or not,

506
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,360
from now on,

507
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:35,800
it has nothing to do with me.

508
00:34:39,070 --> 00:34:40,120
The misunderstanding
from eighteen years ago

509
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,000
has been cleared up.

510
00:34:41,150 --> 00:34:43,400
The Demon Market and Changxi Palace
have ceased hostilities.

511
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,400
Why can't we go back to how we were?

512
00:34:45,510 --> 00:34:46,630
Because I can't forget.

513
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,000
The moment you opened the barrier,

514
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,630
you'd already made your choice.

515
00:35:00,630 --> 00:35:02,110
I can't forget the times

516
00:35:03,710 --> 00:35:05,110
we battled each other.

517
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,760
Even if we stop fighting,

518
00:35:11,710 --> 00:35:15,230
we're still on different paths
and can't be together.

519
00:35:19,710 --> 00:35:21,510
Do you really know
what choice I've made?

520
00:35:23,070 --> 00:35:24,070
- I've always...
- Mei Zhuyu.

521
00:35:27,110 --> 00:35:28,440
You should know

522
00:35:29,630 --> 00:35:31,030
our relationship has run its course.

523
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:40,710
Blame me all you want.

524
00:35:48,150 --> 00:35:49,320
Just don't leave me.

525
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:53,230
I said

526
00:35:54,230 --> 00:35:55,480
I wouldn't let go.

527
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,400
Now, when I look at you,

528
00:36:03,230 --> 00:36:04,800
all I can think of is that night.

529
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:07,550
All I can recall

530
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,670
is that because of me,
the one who killed your parents

531
00:36:11,630 --> 00:36:13,190
still exists in this world.

532
00:36:16,030 --> 00:36:17,590
If you don't kill me,

533
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,590
you'll have to face your enemy

534
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,760
day and night,

535
00:36:26,590 --> 00:36:28,150
and live with it.

536
00:36:30,510 --> 00:36:33,070
