A Girl Like Me

Episode 10

Grandmother,

why did you keep your condition secret?

Those senior officials

wouldn’t dare touch the Bans

as long as I’m around.

But once they found out I’m sick,

they’d sure come at us.

Understand?

I’m confused about one thing.

You had helped Physician Zhang a lot.

Why did he try to poison you?

He’s timid by nature,

and must’ve acted under coercion.

That’s not an excuse.

Hadn’t it been for Count Cheng’an,

there would’ve been dire consequences.

Hua,

that man is secretive.

You must watch out for him.

Are you warning me

against someone who helped us?

Gentlemen put principles before themselves,

while the snobs are the opposite.

Physician Zhang meant to protect himself,

but Count Cheng’an

is a mystery even to me.

Grandmother, you’re worrying too much.

I can’t read his mind, either,

but I’m sure

he won’t harm us.

If one day,

he dares to do that,

I would

beat him to a pulp.

When can you act like a lady?

Madam.

Princess.

Grandmother said Physician Zhang was under threat,

but by whom?

Who would dare touch our people?

Prince Luo did it?

All that about the Tiger Tally is a secret.

Few have access to it

other than His Majesty and some senior officials.

Clearly, he was plotting against Crown Prince.

The rest of us

were only his pawns.

Now that Her Highness is safe,

the mastermind

will pay the price eventually.

Don’t bother yourself with it.

Grandmother’s safety is at risk.

I must get to the bottom of it.

Your Grace, Your Grace,

I’ve tracked Physician Zhang down.

He’s hiding outside the city. Let’s go.

-Let’s go. -Let’s go.

Who is it?

It’s me, Princess.

I was about to bring Her Highness

freshly made desserts.

This is it, Your Grace.

The open door

must be a sham.

I won’t take it.

Let’s go.

Count Cheng’an!

What are you doing here?

I said I’d find out the truth for you.

Thank you.

Who’s the culprit?

Don’t know yet.

Someone is there.

I’ll take the back door.

You take the back door.

Come.

Clear.

He’s gone. You must seize him, Your Grace.

Relax.

Count Cheng’an

is waiting to catch him in the back.

We got company.

Go help Count Cheng’an.

I got this.

We cannot lose that physician again.

Bring it on.

Spare me, please!

Go, Young Master!

Let’s go!

I didn’t expect you’d save me, Count.

Physician Zhang,

why did Prince Luo want Princess Royal dead?

What’s he up to?

Here’s the thing.

That day, I overheard him saying...

Silencing a witness!

Good to see you again, Count Cheng’an.

Have you

considered my offer?

I never work with people

I don’t know.

You’re the wisest man in the country.

I gave you that letter

for a reason.

I hope

you can enlighten me.

No one dares to

reopen the case of the Rongs’ deaths.

Prince Luo is your only hope

to get justice.

Don’t you agree?

He appreciates men of talent.

A fine fowl like you should perch on a fine tree.

He...

He...

Who killed him?

Physician Zhang,

Luo...

Luo...

Prince Luo, Jiang Luo!

He did it.

Don’t jump to conclusions.

I should’ve known that

only he would’ve gone so low.

Bastard!

How dare he!

Princess.

Thanks for your help. Good day.

Hua,

who told you

Prince Luo tried to harm your grandmother?

He’s going to meet his doom

by hurting her.

Calm down.

He’s too dumb

to cause too much damage.

Because of him, Grandmother almost...

Anyway, he’s a pest.

Hua has a point.

Did you... Dream about something else?

No.

Think about it.

What he said and did

at the banquet

showed he was ill-intentioned.

Things happened lately

can’t all be coincidences.

You’re paranoid.

Everything is fine, isn’t it?

What do you know?

Without Count Cheng’an,

we’d be in grave danger.

You’d better

prepare gifts

to thank him.

Heng is right.

That’s our top priority.

Bad news, Young Master!

How many times

have I told you

to stay calm at all...

times?

May I ask...

I’m here to see Huahua.

That’s too kind of you

to come with so many gifts.

I like the cat.

They’re all for Huahua.

Ban Heng.

Coming.

Let’s go. Come.

Hurry!

Huahua,

it must be tough

living with

such a quiet handler.

You think so, too?

She’s even making a move on a cat.

My sister came for you.

Stop pretending.

My cat seems to like you.

Generally speaking,

both humans and cats

find me likable.

Those

who’re dull,

seemingly aloof

and scheming

are the only exceptions.

Count Cheng’an,

which category are you in?

I always appreciate

an honest free spirit like you.

So do you like me or not?

You’re making me confused.

You’re such a straight shooter.

Let’s go.

For good judges of character,

it’s impossible to not like you.

Don’t sweet-talk me.

Someday, I’ll crack you.

Eat up.

Don’t be

like those bony nerds.

What’s wrong with them?

They’re quiet and considerate

without showing others their claws.

So much better

than a violent-tempered

and untamed kitty, isn’t it?

So what if it’s loud

and has a temper?

Must everyone

be a mute fox?

A nerd

or a mute fox,

you should know what Huahua thinks

even if he doesn’t tell you, right?

How could I? I’m not a mind-reader!

I’m not a cat.

It can’t be me, either.

Ban Heng! Ban Heng!

Ban Heng! Ban...

Here.

There’s a crowd outside your mansion.

What are they doing there?

To propose marriage to your sister.

This is

the Yans’ family heirloom for 100 years.

It’s too generous of them

to offer this simply for proposal.

Mrs. Yan loves his son dearly.

I’ve long heard

about that.

The bracelet is to welcome Princess

into Prime Minister’s family.

It’s good.

Their son isn’t too bad.

But his mother is a problem.

Rocky, give it back.

Show her out.

Please.

Count, why are you out with me?

I don’t

want you to feel bored.

Would you like to hear a story?

Go ahead. I’m listening.

Once upon a time,

a bird fairy nested in the mountain,

while a bird hunter

lived at the foot.

He...

That bird fell in love with him

but got caught eventually.

That’s cliché.

Why don’t you tell me

about your story?

My story?

You’re the most renowned gentleman.

Have you had any crush on girls?

Never.

Bonehead!

Count Cheng’an,

if you must marry someone

among Shi Feixian, Xie Wanyu and Li Xiaoru,

which one will you choose?

Young Master Ban,

girls’ marriage

isn’t something to joke about.

And what you asked

would only annoy Princess.

Choose.

Well,

Miss Xie is tender and caring

and she’ll be a good wife and mother.

Miss Li is elegant and graceful

who owns tons of suitors.

As for Miss Shi,

other than being virtuous,

she’s more talented than others.

But marriage

calls for mutual love.

It can’t be forced.

I thought you had better taste.

I’ve decided to go on a date with Yan Zhen.

Princess,

wouldn’t you only meet with him?

Change of plan.

I can’t wait

to experience mutual love.

Marriage is no small matter.

You’d better think carefully.

Aren’t you fond of those three?

Why do you care about my marriage?

I didn’t mean I like them.

I just...

Calm down.

My sister would never be with Yan Zhen.

He has a reputation.

Everyone knows it.

If you marry him...

Darling.

Do you like this scent?

What’s that?

My mother said

it’d bring us good fortune.

Alright.

And the dates, too.

My mother said that’d be perfect.

Are you going to bed or not?

Stop, stop, stop!

My mother said to stop making babies

once the incense burns out.

Or it’d be bad for my health.

Can’t you burn another one?

Mother.

May I burn another one?

Madam Yan

Time is over for today.

Try again tomorrow.

He’s fussy

other than being a mama’s boy.

You can’t stand him.

So

whoever marries him will suffer.

My mother said it doesn’t suit you.

Not that one, either, she said.

What should I wear?

She said

a lady must dress properly.

I look just like your mother!

No, no, no!

Please divorce me.

Mother, my wife is asking for a divorce.

Divorce?

I won’t allow it!

Is he really like that?

You don’t believe me?

Ask him.

Leave now.

Get out. Out.

I’ve made it clear

and rejected this marriage.

Marrying Prime Minister’s son

is sheer bliss.

You should be honored and grateful.

How could you turn it down?

Excuse me?

Watch your tone.

Is that a proposal or a threat?

I’m sorry.

Please forgive me, Princess.

This is a gift

from Mrs. Yan.

Please take it.

What should I do about it?

Tell the exact words to Yan Zhen

that I, Ban Hua,

will only marry someone I love

who also loves me back.

Princess...

Memorial to the Throne

The plot enraged His Majesty. The Rongs will be gone by tomorrow.

The plot enraged His Majesty. The Rongs will be gone by tomorrow.

Is that

Prime Minister’s handwriting?

Young Master Xie,

how can you prove Minister Yan wrote it?

You have easy access

to Yan Hui’s handwriting.

Compare them yourself.

They’re identical.

The Rongs will be gone by tomorrow. They’re identical.

It’s been so long.

A letter alone isn’t...

Memorial to the Throne Yan

Yan Yan?

Yan

Yan Hui?

Princess Ban has arrived.

Why is she here?

Is what she’s wearing

a hairpin

or some headwear?

Don’t know.

It looks cute, though.

Have some tea, Princess.

No, thanks.

Welcome, Princess.

Feel free

to enjoy all the food and drinks here.

Thank you, Mr. Shi.

Count, care to drink with me?

Thanks for asking,

but I’d rather not embarrass myself again.

I prefer seeing you drunk.

You mean to

give me a hard time, don’t you?

Will you drink or not?

Crown Prince and Princess have arrived.

Greetings.

I hope I didn’t interrupt you.

Crown Prince, Sister.

I didn’t expect you’d come home.

Crown Prince knew I was homesick,

and asked Father

to come back with me especially.

It’s all set. Don’t worry.

Sister.

Count Cheng’an, would you join me

for tea?

Tea? Sure.

What you got, cousin?

I...

My brother would like to have a word with you.

Mr. Shi?

What’s up?

I...

We can have tea together

after you finish.

Prin... Princess,

I can give you a tour around here.

But I’m not interested.

Take my brother instead.

He hasn’t been here before.

I...

It’s my pleasure

to have finally met you, Princess.

I’m Yan Zhen.

It’s you!

So...

would you like a tour around the house?

Count Cheng’an, you’re old enough to marry.

Don’t wait too long.

Thank you for your concern.

I’ve devoted myself to His Majesty

with no time for a relationship.

Rong Xia, we studied together for long.

I know you the best.

If you ask me,

your perfect match

is right here.

What’s here?

Hua, you...

Why are you having tea without me?

I’m sorry.

My bad.

Something is going on behind my back.

Go on.

Continue with what you were doing.

I’ll sip at my tea.

Pretend I’m not here.

Alright. The more the merrier.

Please, Crown Prince.

Sure.

Count Cheng’an

is erudite and pure

as the melted snow water

from Snow Mountain.

He sounds unnatural.

What are the odds!

My sister is also into literature.

She’s unworldly

as the newly sprouted leaves.

Really?

Not that I know of.

Count, look, the tea leaves

endured changes of seasons

while the water flowed through ranges of mountains

to have finally gathered here.

That’s sheer serendipity, isn’t it?

What’s going on?

I can’t agree more.

Fate has brought us together.

Count Cheng’an,

stop pretending.

I know my sister

better than others.

Sister.

Feixian,

why don’t you tell him how you feel?

Your Highness, you must be joking.

Miss Shi is still single.

Her reputation shouldn’t be damaged.

Do you mean

my sister isn’t good enough for you?

Miss Shi is virtuous

and more talented than others.

I...

Why do I

find that familiar?

As for Miss Shi, other than being virtuous,

she’s more talented than others.

So you’re setting them up, aren’t you?

Why go to such great lengths?

I can save you the trouble, cousin.

Princess,

don’t be rude.

Shi Feixian, tell me,

will you marry Count Cheng’an?

I...

A knot is waiting to be tied.

Stop there.

Don’t understand a word.

Count Cheng’an,

will you marry Shi Feixian?

Count Cheng’an!

I’m asking you.

Will you marry her?

I...

I put the state

before my marriage.

See?

That’s a no.

Cousin, stop wasting your time.

What a shame!

As the most talented ones

in the state,

you two could’ve made a perfect couple.

Too bad!

Bland.

What’s this?

This one looks good.

I got it first. Let go.

Why?

Don’t, Sister.

Prince Luo.

Who are you to steal food from me?

Be a man!

Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?

Food concerns no gender.

Let him have it. I’m good.

I’ve had enough. Take this.

Is that a handout?

Get rid of it.

I’ll ask the kitchen to make you some.

Young Master Ban is indeed a foodie.

Don’t you like that headwear?

I can ask him about it.

Excuse me, Young Master Ban,

where did your sister

get that headwear on her?

It was made

according to her design.

She designed it?

Why? Are you jealous?

Why would I?

It looks strange.

Let’s go.

Come on. Let’s go.

Don’t you

like it?

I think her design is still at home.

Hang on.

May I have a look?

You can,

but it’s not free.

I don’t need money or...

I can make you desserts.

Deal.

Princess, may I speak to you in private?

About what? Just say it here.

Will you marry me?

You... You’re straight.

Princess,

when I saw you

at Princess Royal’s banquet,

it was love at first sight.

Then you kept giving me signals.

My heart

is racing for you day and night.

I can’t stop thinking of you.

Are you alright?

Is that so?

You’re lucky, Princess.

I’m touched

by Young Master Yan’s confession.

Young Master Yan is straightforward.

You two are alike.

Princess, what do you think?

None of your business. I know what to do.

I didn’t share your feelings,

so I can’t accept them.

And I don’t remember

all that you’ve said.

You’ve probably mistaken it.

How come?

How could Mr. Yan’s heartfelt feelings

be mistakes?

That’s quite hurtful.

What a shame!

Prime Minister’s son and Princess

would be a perfect match.

True love is rare to come by.

I wish

someone would love me like this.

If you’re envious,

why don’t you marry him?

I said

marriage calls for mutual love.

I have no feelings for you.

Please go back.

I... I love you wholeheartedly.

Princess, you’re lying, aren’t you?

Don’t conceal your feelings.

If you’re shy

to admit in public,

we can talk alone.

She’s made clear as it is.

You should leave.

This is between me and Princess.

Please behave yourself.

Count is right.

Young Master Yan,

don’t embarrass yourself in public.

Please leave, Young Master Yan.

I apologize, Your Highness.

I’ll show myself out.

Princess, have you... Come around?

I’m sorry that I was rude just now.

Please forgive me.

If you marry me,

I’ll protect you with my life.

Young Master Yan,

if you’re in love with a girl,

what will you do?

I’ll marry her.

I’ll forever love her

and never betray her.

What if she’s free-spirited

and independent

who only does things of her own will?

What will you do then?

I’ll support her regardless.

What if your mother forbids you?

I...

For example,

what if

she doesn’t want kids?

I’m fine with it.

What if your mother disagrees?

Then...

Then...

I’ll discuss it with my wife.

I thought you’d say,

“I’ll be on her side.

No one can force her to do anything”.

But that way,

my mother would be upset.

Young Master Yan, to love someone

isn’t only to marry her.

Why would a girl marry you

if you didn’t think for her?

So we aren’t meant to be.

I hope you’ll soon find someone

who obeys your mother.

Good day.

Princess,

why are you different from most girls?

Meet a girl like me.

Sister.

Don’t be upset.

Count Cheng’an didn’t turn you down.

We can think up a new plan.

Thank you, Sister.

Count,

why don’t you stay for dinner?

Thank you, Miss Shi.

It’s getting dark.

I need to take Princess Ban back.

Take her back?

Thanks for your hospitality. Goodbye.

You know,

you could stay for dinner.

I don’t have dinner

with anyone.

Crown Prince and Princess

are so sweet together.

I wish I could find my other half.

I’m sure you will.

They say Prince Luo

likes tender and well-mannered girls.

It’s not too late to change yourself.

What did you say?

Stop.

Or Prince Luo will never like you.

Shut up!

You...

What are you doing?

Stay away from me.

You...

Wait! I’m still here!

Wait for me!

Stop there!

Ban Heng?

Take me with you!

See you.

You...

So inside it’s just...

Count, I have a question.

If Shi Feixian is as good as they say,

why do you keep pushing her away?

Come to think of it,

she’s educated,

talented and knowledgeable.

That’s quite attractive.

Get off now.

Fine.

The carriage is still moving.

Wait. Wait for me.

Stop the carriage.

How could you leave without me, Hua?

Count Cheng’an!

Young Master Ban.

What are you doing here?

I see. I’ll leave.

Come back!

Did you poke the bear?

While I was filling myself up,

someone’s proposal got rejected.

Whose was it?

You each

have your own admirer.

That’s a tie.

No one has lost.

I’ve turned Yan Zhen down.

There’s nothing between us.

Hua, don’t you know

how stubborn he is?

It’s too soon to relax.

This could be just a start.

What to do?

I have an idea,

but it requires help from someone.

Who is it?

Count Cheng’an.

Me?

What can I do?

Have a fake marriage.

-Have a fake marriage? -Have a fake marriage?

Once you two pretend to marry,

others

with the right mind

won’t bother you again.

I’ll kick you out!

Don’t, Hua.

Go away.

I’m sorry, Count.

He doesn’t know what he’s saying.

I mean...

marriage is just a routine.

Why take it so seriously?

We can’t risk a girl’s reputation.

That’s inappropriate.

If things don’t work out,

you can divorce her.

I’ll divorce him first.

Young Master Ban,

marriage concerns lifetime happiness.

It must be treated with caution.

Other than getting married,

what about a fake engagement?

Okay. I’m out.

Fake engagement?

I’m glad to see

Rong Xia and Ban Hua together.

My years of wish has been fulfilled.

In this case,

I’ll pick a wedding day for you.

No.

Why did you say no?

No to what exactly?
