♫ Used to the depth of the darkness ♫

♫ No matter how wild, there is no fear ♫

♫ Waiting for a star to fall to see who its afterglow will illuminate (I tell myself to keep pushing on by feeling, it’s history in the making)♫

♫ Of the same kind as the banished ♫

♫ Hiding the loneliness in defense (Climbing mountains and cliffs)♫

♫ But gentleness is always invincible (I’m earth-shatteringly alone, with no purpose and no worry, just so I can push on harder)♫

[The Wolf]

[Episode 15]

Your Highness, Young Feudal Mistress practiced this dance so many times.

She tried her very best in doing it especially for you.

If this continues,

I'm going to get a promotion and be successful soon.

I'm Ma Zhaixing from Kuizhou. The dance just now is called "Princess Dance."

I hereby wish that you will be successful in this journey!

Good! Good! Good!

The Princess Dance is an auspicious dance.

Both of your legs have been injured before.

A lot of your dance moves are not on point.

Not smooth enough.

You've embarrassed yourself.

Don't you know that you've destroyed the elegance of this dance as well as my mood?

Your Highness, I just wanted to wish you all the best—

Although you were born in Kuizhou,

you are already engaged to marry me.

Please give importance to your present status.

- You discarded your duties as Princess Consort Bo and came to this banquet to expose yourself in public. - That table has turned.

You always disobeyed me when I say no.

I don't want to see you, but here you are.

Why do you always like to rebel against me and infuriate me?

Calm down, Your Highness!

Calm down, Your Highness!

Don't let your mood be affected by a disobedient woman.

Disobedient?

This is an apt description.

Young Feudal Mistress has always been eccentric since young.

Everybody knows about it in Kuizhou.

You better be smart and restrain yourself.

You better not aggravate His Highness and bring trouble to everyone in Kuizhou.

Mister,

do I know you?

Young Feudal Mistress,

you only remembered the man who has hurt you before.

But you don't remember the men whom you humiliated?

Let me remind you then.

What did you say again when we proposed to you?

"Guess the right wooden box by listening to the flapping wings of a butterfly."

You were so arrogant back then.

She even said that she would humiliate whoever proposed to her.

She was so supercilious.

You have mentioned the past.

If I have offended you back then,

please forgive me.

But for you to remember it until today,

I'm wondering if you have superb memories or are just narrow-minded.

You are still the same, Young Mistress.

Your tongue is as sharp as ever.

No wonder Prince of Bo despises you.

In this world, no man would like a woman like you.

Brother Qi, you are wrong.

There will be a man who will fall in love with a woman like her.

That's right!

A wolf-like man who can hear the sound of butterfly wings.

Prince of Bo, in my opinion,

that kind of man is either extinct or has never been born before.

Well said!

Your Highness,

the Princess Dance by the best courtesan in Kuizhou, Miss Lufu,

is way better than the performance of Young Mistress.

- Her face and dance moves are unbelievably beautiful. - That's right.

The performance just now is a joke.

I want to watch a better performance.

Your Highness, I'll send someone to bring you Miss Lufu now.

- Go now. - Roger that.

Come.

Why are you still here?

Are you going to stay here and further ruin my mood?

Your Highness.

Fellow guests.

Farewell.

Cheers.

What kind of Princess Dance was that?

Even my maid can dance better than her.

That's right.

It must be torture for Your Highness to watch that.

You had to endure her dance for so long.

She's the embarrassment of Kuizhou.

I feel ashamed to admit that I had once proposed to her.

- Come. - Let's drink.

Ma Zhaixing's karma has hit her so quickly.

Back then, she looked down on those who proposed to her

and she made us into a joke.

Today, Prince of Bo has helped us get even with her.

This is so satisfying.

That's right.

In the future,

just an order from you

and I'll hand in

all of my Qi's massive fortune to the court

to fund the Bo Army.

Great! Great!

Really?

I don't dare lie to you, Your Highness.

Good!

I'll grant your wish then.

The Qi family is so rich

because you used the name of the late Minister Qi

to oppress the people and earn that dirty money.

All properties of the Qi family will be confiscated.

What is the meaning of this?

Young Lord Qiao.

Your Highness.

I've already investigated.

Your family has been paying the road tax and state tax to the court

for the past few years without a fault, right?

Yes, Your Highness.

Very good.

Then, from this year onwards, you'll have to pay double.

And that extra tax cannot be extorted from the people.

Find a way to pay for it yourself.

If you fool around with me, I'll kill all nine generations of your family.

- Your... - Sit down.

Your turn.

Your Highness.

Spare my life, Your Highness.

You lied to me in front of everyone. How should I punish you?

Your... Highness...

No matter how brave I am, I wouldn't dare lie to you.

Please don't accuse me of that!

Just now, didn't you say that

if there's a wolf-like man who can hear the sound of butterfly wings,

then that man will either be dead or he has never been born before.

Unfortunately for you,

I've met that man before.

You lied to me in public.

- Wen Yan. - Yes, Your Highness.

Cane him 100 times.

Yes, Master.

Your Highness! Spare my life, Your Highness! Your Highness!

I didn't lie to you!

Please spare my life, Your Highness!

Master, Young Feudal Mistress Ma wouldn't leave.

She's waiting for you in your room.

You've drunk many cups of wine tonight.

I've prepared some medicine and herbs that are famous for curing a hangover.

I won't disturb you then.

I'll go back now.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

You are really trying to win me over so tirelessly.

You... are so beautiful today.

I've never seen you...

like this.

Your Highness, you are really drunk!

I'll go and prepare the hangover soup for you now.

You are really a spoilsport.

I don't want the hangover soup.

I want you.

Your Highness! Your Highness! Your Highness!

Let go of me!

Your Highness!

I want you to pleasure me.

But we are not officially husband and wife yet.

You'll be mine eventually.

Your Highness!

Your Highness! No! Your Highness!

Your Highness!

No! Your Highness!

No, Your Highness!

You put in so much effort tonight.

Didn't you do it to get my attention?

Why are you avoiding me now?

Your Highness... No...

No! No! Your Highness!

Get lost!

You look so aggrieved,

like I'm forcing you.

You've dampened my spirit. Get out!

I'm sorry, Your Highness.

Your Highness, I was just shocked.

If you really want to consummate our...

Teach me!

What should I do to make you fall out of love with me

and stay away from me from now on?

Listen to me.

I am the one who broke the red thread.

Didn't we fall for each other after going through thick and thin together?

How did everything change within a night?

What man will be able to stay unaffected when a woman says that she'll live and die with him?

I was touched at that time.

But when I heard that you want a pure relationship without any lies,

I realized that I can't do that.

Although I can't treat you sincerely,

I was seduced by your performance tonight.

I thought that I could play with you.

But you are too dumb.

You don't know how to please me.

You are so boring.

Let me tell you truthfully.

If it wasn't because His Majesty bestowed you to me, you would never be the woman that I'd choose.

♫ But cannot stay for a while ♫

So, making things difficult for me,

being so cold and dissatisfied with me

at the banquet and the mansion

were all because you wanted to discourage me.

You don't have

any feelings towards me already.

It's good that you understand.

I don't have to act anymore.

Facing a woman I detest every day is more exhausting than going to war.

Your Highness! Your Highness! Your Highness!

I've already invited Miss Lufu here.

Zhaixing, Young Mistress,

I did this for the benefit of all the people in Kuizhou.

Since you can't give pleasure to His Highness, you might drag us down with you.

- Bring Miss Lufu here. - Yes, Your Highness.

Tonight, I want a real woman.

♫ Personally burying this warmth ♫

♫ No matter how painful or how much love there is, don't say it anymore ♫

Aren't you leaving?

What?

You want to watch how Miss Lufu pleasures me?

You can stay.

You can learn from her.

Maybe after that, I'll feel more attracted to you.

Prince of Bo,

you are so shameless!

Master, I already sent someone to look for Ji Chong to ask about the Golden Eagle.

But he's neither at the stable nor the Feudal Lord Mansion.

Besides, someone saw him rushing towards Ma Mansion.

He was acting very suspicious.

Send someone.

Your Highness, Miss Lufu is here.

Sir, where is His Highness going?

He has something important to do.

What about Miss Lufu?

Send her back to wherever she came from.

Wait. This...

Why did he change his mind so suddenly?

You were gone from Kuizhou the whole day and broke into Princess Consort's maiden house at night.

What are you trying to do?

Although I didn't attend the banquet today,

everyone in this manor already knows that you humiliated Young Feudal Mistress Ma in public today.

I know...

this is none of my business.

But since young, I can't take it when a woman cries.

Someone from Ma Mansion told me that Young Mistress likes candied hawthorns.

So, I left the city at night and found an old friend to make these candied hawthorns.

Now,

you've ruined everything.

This is just a warning for you.

Stay out of others' business.

You don't like watching Zhaixing dance.

You don't like candied hawthorns, too. Right?

Let alone a candied hawthorn that fell onto the floor.

But people who love candied hawthorn won't mind that.

Let me remind you.

This is a fickle world.

You better cherish the people around you.

Ma Zhaixing!

Ma Zhaixing,

open the door.

I know about what happened in the banquet today.

But I brought your favorite candied hawthorns!

It's free.

You just need to open the door.

Ma Zhaixing.

Young Feudal Mistress has gone missing since last night.

Please send someone to search the city for her.

Search the city?

Don't make a mountain out of a molehill.

She has been gone for a night.

What's wrong with searching the city for her?

We are in Kuizhou.

She'll want to walk around her home town.

What are you worried about?

She is Princess Consort of Bo.

Aren't you worried about her safety at all?

Since you know that she is my consort,

there's no need for you to worry.

If you won't look for her, I'll do it then.

Your Highnes, this horse expert is so rude.

You should behead him.

But I think that Young Feudal Mistress will be fine.

After all, since young, she liked to roam around Langshou Mountain.

But she's still acting so wild even though she's now your consort.

Feudal Lord, how long have you been in this position?

More than half a year.

Since my trip here, I think you've performed a valuable service

and you've been serving me well.

You are too kind.

This is just my duty.

It'll be a waste of talent for you to just be the feudal lord of Kuizhou.

You should resign now.

I have another position for you.

Thank you for your kindness.

Your Highness, when will I enter Imperial City then?

What position will you give me?

You are now the gatekeeper and you'll guard Kuizhou's gate forever.

Let's go to Ma Mansion.

When you are sad, where will you go?

It's thundering. Get ready to pack up.

It's going to rain. Let's pack up!

We'll pack up when it starts to rain.

There's a mountain outside of Kuizhou. It's called the Langshou Mountain.

His Highness loves the warrior wolf.

Maybe he'll be willing to visit the mountain with me.

Wolf Boy, I am back.

Xing'er,

I'm here.

Ma Zhaixing!

Zhaixing!

Zhaixing.

Ma Zhaixing!

Ma Zhaixing!

Zhaixing!

Zhaixing, wake up.

Ma Zhaixing,

are you okay?

What happened?

Here.

I lost.

I was completely defeated.

Prince of Bo has never loved me sincerely.

It's all because of the bestowed marriage of His Majesty.

Since the beginning,

I've misinterpreted his feelings.

I'm sorry, Zhaixing.

I shouldn't have suggested that you dance for him.

I never thought that Prince of Bo would be so heartless.

Why did you come back to Langshou Mountain then?

Are you waiting for him to come and look for you?

I came back here

to look for courage.

Usnea is my mother's favorite flower.

My father said that it has another name.

- It's called— - The Queen?

The Queen symbolizes courage.

I have to be brave, too.

Forget about him.

This red thread is what ties us together.

But we are not the only ones who are tied together.

There is also the weak trust His Majesty has over the Ma Family Army.

Although I know that my husband will never love me,

I can't end this marriage.

Although I've been hurt by Prince of Bo,

I can't let the Ma Army find out that I'm not living well.

I need this marriage.

The court needs this marriage.

And most of all, Ma Army needs this marriage.

Everyone has to be trapped inside this marriage.

You are brave, Ma Zhaixing.

Bo Royal Mansion is just a prison for you.

People in prison can cry,

but when I go back to Bo Royal Mansion,

I can only smile.

Zhuiri has spotted someone. I have to check it out.

There's someone outside?

Prince of Bo.

What did you say?

You are really helpless.

Look at your reaction.

How could you believe me?

What kind of expression is this?

Are you still hoping that he will come?

Even if he comes,

that'll be because he's afraid that he has to explain to the court if anything happens to you.

That'll be the only reason.

In a relationship, both parties have to be willing.

You are deeply in love with Prince of Bo,

but does it mean that he has to be deeply in love with you, too?

Can't I even have the right to be sad?

Of course you can,

even if your sadness will never go away.

Everyone will fall in love with the wrong person.

But someday, someone will eventually carry this sadness for you.

Is this what you've said to those ladies who you've hurt before?

Sometimes, I'll drink a cup of wine first.

Why?

To boost my courage. I'm afraid of getting hit.

You are laughing.

Are you feeling better?

Looks like you are all better now.

Let me get you some water.

Let's take a rest for a while more.

We'll leave the mountain when your fever has gone down.

Wait for me.

Thank you.

Are you feeling better now?

You caught a cold on Langshou Mountain that day.

It must be hard for you to travel when you are still sick.

I'm feeling much better now, Wen Yan.

Please tell Prince of Bo that I have something to report.

Please wait for a moment.

His Highness is in a meeting with the warrior sent by Princess Bao Na.

We are almost at the border.

Why did Bao Na send someone here at this time?

Young Feudal Mistress, please go in.

Princess Bao Na and I will be meeting soon.

So, why did she have to send you here first?

Your Highness, Princess Bao Na sent me to deliver a letter to you.

This is her seal.

[Qitan]

[I need to meet you urgently.]

[Here's my seal to prove that I need to meet you alone at Fuhu (Hiding Tiger) Forest tomorrow.]

Go back and tell her that

I'll bring this seal to meet her tomorrow at Fuhu Forest alone.

Yes, Your Highness. Farewell.

I heard that you are ill,

but I haven't visited you at all.

You won't blame me, right?

You are busy with work.

I wouldn't want you to be distracted by me.

Good.

You've seen Princess Bao Na's handwriting before, right?

Can you tell me whether or not this is her handwriting?

Princess Bao Na's handwriting is unique.

The writings in this letter do look like her handwriting.

I heard that Fuhu Forest is their hunting ground.

Outsiders are not allowed to go in.

Looks like Princess Bao Na can't forget about you.

So, she wrote you a letter to meet you in private.

If you can stop loving me,

you won't be jealous of my love affairs anymore.

That is what I plan to do.

To this day,

I keep thinking about how to make you happy.

Meticulous care is not what you want.

Dancing to pray for blessings back at Kuizhou is not what you want, either.

The thing you want is the freedom that I can't give you.

Since this red thread is a blessing,

it should tie both of us together.

I shouldn't be the only one who cares.

I foolishly thought that if I just tie it back together,

you'll come back to me.

It's not too late now that you've realized it.

It's too late.

If I had rejected His Majesty's bestowed marriage from the start,

you wouldn't be stuck forever with a woman you don't love.

If you want our marriage to exist in name only,

I'll obey your order.

If you don't want me to travel with you,

I'll obey your order and go back to Kuizhou at once.

If you want me to stop loving you and to pretend to be your wife just when we are in public,

I'll obey your order.

I won't report to His Majesty about anything that happened in Kuizhou,

so His Majesty won't punish you.

Well done.

This is what I want.

Finally, I did something right and got your compliment.

Farewell.

Greetings, Your Highness.

I have a date with Princess Bao Na tomorrow.

Send your Golden Eagle to the hunting ground tomorrow to scout out Fuhu Forest.

I can't do that, Your Highness.

I'm here today to resign as your horse expert.

This money is what you paid me back then.

Today, I'll give it back to you.

You value money over life.

Why are you giving up such a well-paid job?

Because of Young Feudal Mistress.

Just now, I saw her packing up her luggage.

Although I don't know why, only you are able to break her heart throughout our journey.

You are really considerate toward my consort.

I indeed admire her a lot.

But it's not in an improper way like what you are thinking.

I've roamed the world for years.

I've seen a lot of women.

But only Young Mistress was able to gain my respect and admiration.
