You went to catch him cheating and left me out.

I was afraid you'd kill him on the spot.

It's not too late to kill him now.

Chengyu, you've gone way too far this time.

Xinrou, if you can detoxify her, please help me save her.

Miss Dongfang is awake.

Thank you, for saving me.

Don't thank me yet.

Just tell me who sent you.

I can't tell you yet.

Once the poison is gone, I'll tell you everything.

So, you don't trust me.

Up, up, up!

Move aside!

Liu Pitang, you actually dared to show your face!

You've got a heart of stone.

After all the time we spent together,

you sent people to kill me.

Cold Tiger!

Isn't this Mr. Liu the shopkeeper?

Did you forget?

Mr. Liu?

Funny.

Hahaha.

Shopkeeper Liu,

what brings you here today?

Master Li.

I didn't come here for pleasure.

I came to demand justice.

That Miss Dongfang you took away

was in love with me.

We were already getting married.

Why did you steal the woman I love?

Why you...

Wasn't Liu Pitang captured?

Why is he still alive?

I'll kill him myself.

Wait!

Mr. Liu, mind your words.

We have a crowd here.

Everyone is watching.

I don't know any Mr. Liu.

And I'm not betrothed to him.

The one I'm truly in love with is Young Master Li.

You heard her yourself.

She made it very clear.

You'd best leave.

Don't stick around here.

My dear Shan...

I know I haven't treated you well.

I beg your forgiveness.

I deserve the worst.

I deserve it!

I deserve it!

But it was only one quarrel.

Why would you pretend not to know me?

Wait...

We even have a marriage contract!

It's written here in black and white!

Take a look for yourselves.

Be my witnesses.

It's written here, clear as day!

Nonsense!

Master Li.

My feelings for Shan are true.

I miss her day and night.

My yearning sickens me.

I beg you.

Give her back to me.

I'll kneel and kowtow to you.

I'll kowtow!

Master Li, I'm begging you.

I'll kowtow to you.

I beg you.

I'll kowtow to you!

Liu Pitang, with acting skills like that,

why aren't you on the stage?

On the what?

I don't even understand what you're saying.

Master Li.

Fine.

If you insist...

If you insist

that Miss Dongfang belongs to you,

then show us some proof,

right here before everyone.

We need some convincing!

Right?

Isn't that so?

Li Chengyu.

Here's the antidote.

Give it to Miss Dongfang.

He's trying to take her away.

You two...

You should get married now.

Xinrou!

No more nonsense.

Do you really want to watch him take her away?

Hurry!

Of course they can prove it.

If you don't step in,

they'll be married on the spot.

Mr. Liu, since you're already here,

why not bear witness with all of us?

Let them bow to heaven and earth right here and wed.

This won't do!

This won't do! No!

Absolutely not!

No, no!

Hurry up.

Fine.

Everyone here, bear witness.

I, Li Chengyu,

will wed Miss Dongfang here and now.

First bow to heaven and earth.

Second bow to the parents.

Bow to each other.

(A House of Joy)

The ceremony is complete.

Good.

Good.

Mr. Liu, still not leaving?

Are you planning to steal another man's wife in broad daylight?

Go!

Shihou Stronghold isn't safe.

Head to Qingfeng Stronghold.

What are you doing?

We're officially married.

We are husband and wife.

It's a wife's duty to serve her husband.

I told you. It was just an act.

Why take it so seriously?

Put this on.

Qingfeng Stronghold is full of traps.

Liu Pitang won't get in.

You seem to be recovering well.

I've purged the poison for you.

Don't you think you owe me some answers?

Are you sure

you want to know who it was?

Tell me.

I don't know who's behind it.

I only know the one who hired me to forge the weapons.

His name was Li Fang.

He wore a mask, so I couldn't see his face.

But judging by his clothes,

he must've been working for a high official in the capital.

Li Fang...

(I don't know the court well enough.)

(How would I know who Li Fang is?)

I still have the receipt from when he paid me.

(Three thousand taels paid to Dongfang Shan, by Li Fang)

(It matches the handwriting found in the Vice Minister of War's letters.)

(Dongfang Shan didn't lie to me.)

In any case,

thank you, Young Master, for saving my life today.

I hate owing favors.

I have nothing to give you in return.

Hey, what are you doing?

Hey!

What's the deal with Li Chengyu?

He didn't come to cheer you up.

And he claims he has private business with Dongfang Shan?

Hmph.

Xinrou.

What happened to you just now?

Why did you officiate their wedding ceremony?

Because too many past misunderstandings

have sown rifts between us sisters.

Distrust breeds gossip,

gossip breeds discord,

and business comes to a halt.

This time, I want to try believing him.

He is all alone with a woman.

You may trust him, but I don't.

I think the Leader is right.

We're one family, we have to trust each other.

He may be alone with the woman,

but she could just be decent company.

Talking is a waste of time.

If you don't believe it, see for yourselves.

Let this kiss be my thanks, Young Master.

Shameless.

The drug didn't work?

How did you know I was trying to kill you?

From the way you and Liu Pitang acted just now,

I knew something was off.

If he truly wanted to take you away,

he wouldn't have left so easily.

I never meant to kill you.

But I had no choice.

The weapons I forged were used for treason.

If my involvement is known,

my family will be doomed.

I can only keep walking down this path of no return.

Even if...

you are a good man.

I gave you the antidote and cured you.

That proves I can protect you.

I don't trust anyone.

Believe it or not,

only I can keep you safe.

Protect me? How exactly?

Enough talk.

Just wait and see.

Li Chengyu, are you into some kind of perverted tricks?

It's getting impossible to explain myself.

Manyue, after all this,

are you still going to defend him?

Even the study hall has been defiled.

No, I can't stand this anymore!

Everyone, out.

Leader, look at him!

Out!

Let's go.

Don't hold me back!

Li Chengyu.

They've all left now.

It's just us two.

Hear me out.

No. Let me explain.

She just tried to kill me.

Didn't you bring her back yourself?

Why would she want you dead?

Young Master, even if you can't have me,

must you slander me so?

But you...

Ah, here you are!

I need a word with you.

Come with me.

You need something?

Come on, let's go.

No, wait.

Come, this way.

This way.

Listen to me.

You can't leave those two alone.

There will be trouble!

Brother, let the women

settle their scores.

We'll just wait outside.

If they start fighting,

we'll step in and break it up, eh?

Why are you staring at me?

I've met many people in this world.

But never someone like you.

To save me,

you let the one you love most

marry another before everyone's eyes.

And you risked everything to cure me.

Tell me.

Is it me you love, or him?

That's my business.

None of your concern.

I didn't save you out of my feelings for him.

Then why?

To me,

you're just a patient.

Does a doctor need a reason to save someone?

You're lucky to have such a clever pal like me.

I could see the Boss was about to blow her top.

If you'd stayed, you'd have lost that argument.

That'd have been awkward.

But honestly, I envy you.

Think about it.

The Boss is devoted to you.

The Second Boss thinks you're fated.

The Third Boss respects you deeply.

The Fourth Boss has already pledged her heart to you.

The Fifth Boss obeys your every word.

And now there's even this undefeated Dongfang girl.

Brother, your feats are astonishing.

♪If you've never seen a bloom, you can't know hope♪

♪If you weren't here, I wouldn't have come♪

♪On a soda-lit night, only the wind knows my love♪

♪It's a helpless kind of feeling♪

♪Like a feather of morning love falling into the deep sea♪

♪Being unnoticed, yet I still tell you I love you♪

♪But my confession is drowned out by the wind♪

♪You can't hear it♪

♪I also want to rush forward♪

♪To give you all my heart♪

♪Yet it's pushed away by you♪

♪Whether love is spoken or left unspoken♪

♪I know you understand♪

♪It's just an accident♪

♪You longed to wander once more, by my side through the throng♪

♪I know you weren't really here for me♪

♪Yet still, who else could bring a surprise quite like you♪

♪After you left, I didn't want to let go♪

♪You brushed past me, leaving your trace in the crowd♪

♪I didn't shut you out♪

♪But I couldn't wait for you to stop♪

♪Yet I seem to clutch you, unable to let you fade into the crowd♪
