[A Talented Girl Grows Up]

[Episode 22]

It means I should go.

If I stay,

I'm afraid I'll die here.

Honey.

This prophecy has an ominous meaning.

You've been looking for the ancient painting.

Tell me.

Are you hiding something from me?

Does the ancient painting

has something to do

with the Star Chart?

Will it affect you?

I'm not hiding only one thing from you.

To be honest,

I am

actually a fairy in heaven.

When time comes,

I'll go back to heaven.

And you

will become a statue waiting for your beloved...

Honey, what time is it now?

Are you still joking with me?

You know it's a joke?

Don't worry.

The celestial phenomena

is superstitious in my hometown.

It's untrustworthy.

But

I do have a secret

that I want to tell you.

It's the secret about my hometown

that you've always wanted to know.

But before that,

I have one condition.

What is it?

There's still a month before the Star Day.

In other words,

I must find the ancient painting

in this month

and return to the original world.

Otherwise, I'll die here.

Either I part him alive

or I die.

There's no other option.

♫It's like deep and true love losing to time♫

Three, two, one.

♫Only sadness and wounds can be commemorated♫

Are you satisfied with this ending?

♫Just like movie plots and stories, only imperfections hold beauty♫

I'm not going back.

♫The curtain falls, leaving an extra moment of warmth♫

Will you marry me

and become my real wife?

♫I'll gradually be forgotten by time♫

I do.

♫Heartfelt emotions don't rehearse and then bloom again♫

♫So please don't push yourself too hard♫

I don't want to die

nor leave my husband.

I still have a lot to do.

♫And don't lie when you're tired; Exit quietly♫

We haven't loved enough.

We haven't grown old together.

♫In silence♫

There's no time to be sad.

Now,

you must hurry up

and stay in love with Wen Chenyi.

Let me leave these beautiful memories

[Wholeheartedly in Love: One hundred happy things]

as a farewell.

Wearing matching outfits.

Pretending to be strangers and coming across each other.

Going to the market together.

I'll cut the price and you pay.

Hugging and kissing each other on the streets of crowds.

Doing one thing

that each is not good at

for each other.

Running in the rain together.

What do you think?

These 100 small things are my conditions.

Do you dare to accept the challenge?

Then, my dear,

I'll accompany you until the end.

Miss, you look quite familiar,

like an old acquaintance of mine.

It seems like

it's our first meeting, Young Master.

May I ask, Miss,

who are you waiting for?

I'm waiting for my soulmate.

Have you found him?

Yes, I have.

Cut.

Let's check in on our encounter with a stranger.

Check-in successful.

Here,

thank you.

I want this one too.

This one as well.

Hello, boss.

How much is this?

Two coins each.

Okay, we'll take two.

Have a nice day, guests.

Take a bite.

Such delicious food in the world.

I want to taste it again.

Honey, you're quite skilled now.

That's all because

you've taught me well.

Let's enjoy the myriad flavors of the night market together.

Check-in successful.

[Wearing couple outfits together.]

[Making a wish for three intertwined lifetimes under the marriage tree together.]

[Sleeping until waking naturally.]

[Exercising together.]

[Making clay sculptures together.]

Dongqing,

please help me check

if my bruise is still noticeable.

Quickly help me cover it.

Be fast.

I have a meeting with the Young Master in the East Market.

Time is running out.

Is it done?

My lady.

My lady!

Help!

Honey.

Why are you back, Honey?

I was just about to head out.

I was worried something might have happened to you,

so I came back to check.

Glad to see you're fine.

It's nothing.

I was just delayed by some matters.

As long as you're fine, that's good.

You must be exhausted

from all the fun recently.

Why not rest early?

Now that you mention it,

I do feel a bit tired.

Let's go another day then.

That works too.

Alright,

I'll go prepare my lessons.

Dongqing,

take care of her.

Yes, Young Master.

My lady.

My lady, come.

My lady.

Why have you started coughing up blood?

No,

I need to find the Young Master.

Dongqing,

you mustn't go.

My lady,

you can't do this.

You need to seek medical treatment quickly.

I know my own illness.

It's beyond treatment now.

Unless I find an ancient painting

and return to my original world.

I've long since stopped having fantasies.

That won't happen.

The Young Master is so capable

and resourceful.

He will definitely find a way.

Dongqing,

you know in this world,

he is the one I care about the most,

and I fear his sadness the most.

I have always regarded you as my best friend.

If you still consider me a friend,

don't tell him.

Alright,

be good.

My lady.

I just hope that in this world,

things can have a proper beginning and end.

Help me find

the shareholding documents

for the Yuber ride-hailing service.

I still need to say goodbye to someone.

[Fengyin Pavilion]

Feng Qiwu.

I owe you an apology.

I'm sorry.

Thank you for once liking me.

You're wonderful

and deserve a unique love.

In the future, you will meet your true love.

You don't owe me anything.

It was all my one-sided feelings.

Being friends with you is truly lucky.

Today,

I came to say goodbye to you.

This is the shareholding document for Yuber.

I'm returning it to you as well.

Why?

Manyi.

I've imagined countless times

in my mind

the scene of meeting you again.

I never expected

you would come to me today

just to give me this.

This is my last

connection with you.

If this is cut off too,

then I'll have no relationship with you at all.

Manyi, why...

Why have you become so heartless?

Is Wen Chenyi pressuring you?

No,

it's not like you think.

There are some things

I can't explain clearly to you.

And Yuber

was originally yours.

♫It's like deep and true love losing to time♫

I'm just returning what belongs to you.

Returning what belongs to me?

It's mine?

♫Only sadness and wounds can be commemorated♫

But we worked on it together.

It's ours.

How come it's just mine?

♫Just like movie plots and stories, only imperfections hold beauty♫

Why?

I've given you so much.

can't I get even a little of your affection?

♫It can become destined regrets♫

Wu,

true love

♫When do we feel loved and indebted♫

has never been about equivalent exchange.

Then what do you want me to do?

♫It seems as if deep affection is captured in film♫

I can give you everything you want, Manyi.

Am I really not worth your glance?

Tell me, Manyi.

♫Crying, laughing and fading, so the drama can be praised♫

All this time,

is there even a sliver of feeling for me

in your heart?

♫The curtain falls, leaving an extra moment of warmth♫

Just a little bit is enough.

No.

♫I'll gradually be forgotten by time♫

No.

I'm now clearly explaining everything to you.

♫It's better to part ways than to gather with red eyes♫

It's better than you wasting your feelings on me.

Why?

Let's cherish our separate futures.

♫But you left in a hurry♫

♫Leaving me with a darkened theater♫

Don't go, Manyi.

Please don't leave.

Tell me. I really don't understand.

♫There's no place to say goodbye♫

Compared to Wen Chenyi,

where do I fall short?

I can change everything.

♫No one forces you to act a certain way towards me♫

I can change for you.

Whatever you want me to be,

I will be.

Okay, Manyi?

Give me another chance.

♫Heartfelt emotions don't rehearse and then bloom again♫

I...

How can I make you love me?

♫So please don't push yourself too hard♫

Is it only when Wen Chenyi is dead...

♫And don't lie when you're tired; Exit quietly♫

Only when he died

will you look at me?

You're crazy!

♫In silence♫

Feng Qiwu,

wake up.

Listen well,

the person I love,

♫When do we feel loved and indebted♫

from beginning to end,

has always been Wen Chenyi alone.

♫It seems as if deep affection is captured in film♫

For him,

I can give up everything.

♫Crying, laughing and fading, so the drama can be praised♫

From now on,

you and I will each be well.

♫The curtain falls, leaving an extra moment of warmth♫

We're even.

♫I'll gradually be forgotten by time♫

♫Heartfelt emotions don't rehearse and then bloom again♫

Manyi.

Manyi.

[Fengyin Pavilion]

♫So please don't push yourself too hard♫

♫And don't lie when you're tired; Exit quietly♫

♫In silence♫

You,

who are you?

I am your master's wife.

♫I'll gradually be forgotten by time♫

Don't leave me.

Don't leave me.

The lantern flies up to the sky.

♫It's better to part ways than to gather with red eyes♫

That way, the person you miss can see it.

How am I?

You are my best friend.

Do you really like him that much?

♫But you left in a hurry♫

I super, super like him.

My matters have nothing to do with you.

♫Leaving me with a darkened theater♫

Whether dead or alive,

it's none of your concern.

♫There's no place to say goodbye♫

♫No one forces you to act a certain way towards me♫

♫Heartfelt emotions don't rehearse and then bloom again♫

♫So please don't push yourself too hard♫

♫And don't lie when you're tired; Exit quietly♫

Your Highness.

♫In silence♫

Now you finally know

Cheng Manyi's attitude toward you, right?

It's time to tell you some cruel truths.

I was right all along.

You would come to see me someday.

For years,

my father has been working for you,

willing to be a pawn,

only to end up harmed.

He was ismissed, exiled, and his family was shattered.

And you too cannot escape death.

What is all this for?

You should tell this to

the Fifth Prince

of the the Feng State honestly.

Back then...

What?

You're saying

the Wen family is a descendant of the former emperor?

I am of the same clan and ancestry as Wen Chenyi,

and we're both descendants of the former emperor?

Not just that,

there are many things you don't know.

The Wen family is the true royal lineage.

The former emperor

was determined to pass the throne to Wen Chenyi's grandfather

and even wrote an edict.

Is that so?

She's right.

The former emperor loved Wen Xian deeply

and wanted to pass the throne to him.

However, the Wen family refused,

claiming they would stay away from politics.

And the former emperor promised to treat the Wen family well.

That's how the current emperor came to the throne.

But how can the emperor

allow danger to lurk nearby?

The Wen family's identity ultimately poses a threat.

I've devoted my life to the Feng State,

so I've repeatedly taken action

to obtain the academy and the seal.

Then tell me,

when it comes to the academy seal

and the so-called treasure you asked Mayor He

to go excavate in Fuzhou,

what secrets

lie within?

The legends of the Feng State are known to everyone,

that the one who obtains the treasure will gain the world.

Within the seal and the Fuzhou treasure,

there lies the address of the treasure.

Inside that treasure,

there's an ancient painting,

and within the layers of that painting,

there remains the former emperor's will.

That can prove the Wen family

is the true lineage of the Feng State.

Don't you want to know about the ancient painting?

The ancient painting?

Where is it?

The ancient painting?

Could it be the one Manyi has been looking for?

Think carefully about who the ultimate beneficiary is,

and you should understand.

Cheng Manyi claims to be searching for the ancient painting,

but in reality, she is looking for the will.

Everything she does is for Wen Chenyi.

She is merely using you.

Now even the warriors are under her command,

and you

are still here hesitating,

limited to personal feelings.

Once the will appears,

the Feng State will face a change in imperial power,

and its foundations will shake.

Feng Qiwu,

as a prince of the Feng State,

if you allow things to reach that point,

even in death,

I won't rest easy.

Enough.

This is the fate of royal descendants, I suppose.

Don't worry.

I will prevent the will from appearing,

at any cost.

[A Talented Girl Grows Up]

Honey, you have accompanied me through so much,

and it's time for me to fulfill my promise,

to tell you the secret about my hometown.

You may find it hard to accept at first.

Actually...

Actually, you do not belong to this world.

The hometown you speak of

is the world where you originally belonged.

You accidentally entered the Feng State

and became Cheng Manyi,

right?

You...

How do you know all of this?

I should have realized it long ago.

You are so different

from all the women

I have met.

That must be the reason.

So, Honey, can you tell me

what kind of world you lived in

and how you came here?

I come from a very distant 21st century.

Due to an accident,

I entered a comic book

called "The World's Greatest Talented Woman."

And the Feng State is merely

a setting in the comic.

This is hard to understand, isn't it?

It means

we are just

characters in a comic book.

Why aren't you surprised at all?

It's because the words you spoke earlier

made me sense it.

Today, you just confirmed it.

Actually,

I don't care about anything else.

I just want to know what our story's ending

is like.

Do you really have to return

to your own world?

Actually, I don't know

what the ending of the story will be,

because from the moment I entered the comic,

all the story's direction

is written by the two of us.

I fell in love

not with a setting,

not with a virtual character,

but with the real,

unreserved you.

I believe you feel the same.

Of course.

Falling in love with you

is the most perfect,

the happiest thing

I've ever done.

As for whether to return to my original world...

I won't go back.

I want to stay

and grow old with you,

to be together forever. Is it okay?

Honey.

I...

The meteor shower.

Hurry.

Close your eyes and make a wish.

But all I want is for you to live safely.

In the first lunar month,

with ominous stars at hand,

destiny's farewell,

never to linger long.

My lady, why are you coughing up blood?

I'm going to find the Young Master.

Don't go.

I know my illness.

There's no cure for it

Unless I find the ancient painting

and return to my original world.

I've long since stopped having fantasies.

You know, in this world,

he means the most to me,

and I fear his sadness the most.

Boss, let's look for a painting.

Not this one.

Please take a look at this.

No, no.

It's a Star Chart.

Young Master,

look,

is this the one?

No, no.

Not this one.

Bosslady,

may I ask if you have an ancient painting

with a star chart?

We don't have such a painting here.

Take a look at these.

Is there anything to your liking?

Young Master,

since you know the truth,

why not reveal it to the Young Madam?

She wholeheartedly cares for me.

How can I let her down?

Jiaobai, we don't have much time left.

Let's split up and search for the painting.

Let's go.

Grand Master Ning.

I have a request.

I know you are knowledgeable

and have collected many calligraphies and paintings.

I have no other way,

so I can only ask for your guidance.

Do you know

where to find an ancient painting with unusual star patterns?

Where is the ancient painting?

Wen Chenyi,

why do you ask questions you already know the answers to?

Your Wen family's disloyalty

is already evident.

You dream of obtaining the treasure and the will

it's wishful thinking.

The treasure and the will...

Wait,

You really know where the ancient painting is?

I, Wen Chenyi,

only knelt to heaven, earth, the emperor,

and my parents.

I wouldn't kneel to others.

But now,

my wife's life hangs by a thread.

Only the ancient painting can save her.

Grand Master Ning.

I beg you to tell me

where the painting is.

You're not seeking the painting

for the will?

What does

the will matter?

If you can tell me where the painting is,

I'd rather die here

to ease the emperor.

You know

that I never speak lightly.

I just hope my wife

can live safely.

So, Grand Master Ning,

I beg you,

I beg you.

I beg you. Grand Master Ning.

I beg you.

I beg you.

I beg you.

Have I been wrong about your Wen family

all these years?

I beg you, Grand Master Ning.

I beg you.

No.

Feng Qiwu.

Wen Chenyi,

listen to my words.

Do not seek the ancient painting any further.

Otherwise,

when the secret is revealed to the world,

your Wen family

will bring about your own doom.

Remember, remember.

In my life,

I have never believed in gods or spirits.

And I never asked heaven for help.

But at this moment,

I sincerely pray

for the gods and ghosts to know

and heaven to see,

to save my beloved wife's life

and help her return safely

to her own world.

But if that's the case,

you will be eternally separated

from the Young Madam,

never to meet again.

At that time, how painful

will it be for you?

Compared to leaving,

the worst is watching her

fade away from my side.

If it weren't for death's separation,

how could I bear

to part from her?

I wish

that after I'm gone,

my husband won't be too sorrowful.

Please plant me as a tree

by the road he must take.

I hope my beloved wife returns to her world,

living out her life peacefully.

I'm willing to endure the heart-wrenching pain of spiritual separation.

Life is like a summer flower, brilliant in bloom.

Even if it withers,

there are no regrets.

This life's love

will never fade.

No matter where you are,

I only wish for your well-being.

Honey.

Honey?

Honey, where are you?

Honey?

Honey.

Honey?

Manyi.

Where are you?

You wouldn't be...

Manyi!

Manyi!

Manyi!

Manyi!

Honey!

Manyi.
