Hey, beautiful girl.

Are you calling me?

At this beautiful moonlit riverside,

do you want to have a drink with us?

Let me ask you a question first.

Those lights are really pretty. Did you make them?

Those are melon lanterns from the central plains.

Just now, a young master bought a cartful of melons from us.

He must have made them.

Come. Let's have another drink.

Wait.

Did you make all of these?

Why are you here?

But you look much more pleasing in white.

Just pleasing?

Fine, you're so charming I can't keep my eyes off you,

but I'm not obsessed with good looks.

The moon in the water is as unreachable as that in the sky.

The lady before me has captured my heart, though as distant as the moon.

I can recite poems, too.

If you want to hear stories about Moon River,

I can relate them to you for three days and three nights.

- For example, there used to be a- - I don't want to listen to that.

I'm handsome,

delightful to be with, and knowledgeable.

Why aren't I a match for that scholar?

These aren't important. I'm looking for...

Forget it. You won't understand.

Of course, I understand. You're looking for a good man.

How did you know?

Naturally, I know your wishes.

You're looking for a good man

to marry you.

You want to build a family with him and never part.

Once you have someone to light a lantern for you,

you'll never be alone again.

There is spiritual consonance connecting our hearts.

I'm the only good man for you,

and you're still my dearest love.

Even though you've forgotten the past,

that doesn't matter.

Every moment we shared

is engraved in my heart.

I see you when I open my eyes,

and you're still there when I close my eyes.

Humans suffer from countless illnesses.

Lovesickness is the only incurable one.

While you were absent, my yearning has turned into an illness.

So, I can only try time and again

to sketch your face.

When you see this,

you'll understand my heart.

Aren't ladies in marriage robes meant to be the prettiest?

Why are you prettier than me in these drawings?

Are these your true feelings?

Young Master,

this is just our second meeting.

Am I supposed to believe your devotion to me

just because of this storybook?

You're too foolish and naive.

Wait!

What will make you believe in my feelings?

I'll risk my all to fulfill your requests and prove my love.

Risk your all?

Why do these words sound so familiar?

You once risked everything

to marry me.

You eliminated everything in your path, be it man or god.

From that moment, my heart was yours.

You're more important than my life.

Did I woo men in that manner?

Let go first.

You're the only one for me. I won't let go.

- If you don't, I'll scream for help. - Go on and scream.

I regretted never expressing my feelings earlier.

Right now, I want the whole world to know my feelings.

Scream.

Young Master.

No matter how handsome you are, you can't be so shameless!

For you,

even my dignity isn't important.

Young Master,

you're a real sweet talker.

Those fictional scumbags who dupe women with words aren't even a match for you.

Why are you still so blind?

I'm so refined! Why are you calling me a scumbag?

Aren't you the one who loves such gimmicks?

I ditched my dignity for you! What else do you want?

Gimmicks? I'm blind?

Young Master,

the night is cold, and the pathogenic wind is damaging your body.

You're blabbing nonsense because you're muddled.

Consult a doctor quickly.

By the way,

this lantern is gorgeous.

Someone like you wouldn't make it. It's out of character.

Sure!

The beautiful lady is leaving.

She's leaving.

Why are you laughing?

Come on!

Eat up. Enjoy the meat.

Snow melon!

Take some. Here.

Must I really vomit blood?

Tastes good.

Here is your wine.

Come on, bottoms up.

Hold on! Young Master!

Wait!

Miss, we're in public. Please don't grab me.

What a coincidence! We're living in the same inn!

But why are you in this state? What happened?

I was robbed by some ruffians out there.

You were robbed?

- I'll get your stuff back! - No, wait!

They didn't take my money.

They... caught me.

Thank goodness some soldiers saved me.

Listen up, this is a rowdy place.

You're frail and unskilled in martial arts. You need to be careful when you're out and about.

How about traveling with me? I can protect you with my martial arts!

No, thanks. I'll head back.

I'm being serious!

Someone like you needs protection! Just stick with me!

Hold on, Miss. I really need to go in and change my clothes.

That's perfect.

What's perfect?

Perfectly shameless.

As a lady, how can you be so brazen?

What's great about this?

Just you wait.

Miss!

You're late.

Valley Master Bai, you sure are scheming.

We've made quite a detour from Jiangnan all the way past the Great Wall.

You don't look upset.

We've done our best, so this must be fate.

His Highness is a gifted man, and only he can govern us.

I'm sure the heavens wouldn't want His Highness

to be obsessed with a woman who doesn't belong to him.

His Highness should be well after recuperating in Fenghua Valley.

You can take him back to the capital.

One more thing.

Pass this to him on my behalf.

I hope he'll keep his promise.

I, too, hope for his good health so that he can protect this world.

Farewell, Valley Master Bai.

- Shopkeeper! - Yes?

- Do you have radishes? - We do. I'll get them for you.

Why is this happening? This isn't right.

What's not right, Miss?

Tell me upfront if you want to look at my birthmark!

There's no need to be so brutish.

Hold on.

How can that be a birthmark?

This birthmark has been here since my birth! What's wrong with it?

Let me have another look just to be sure.

Let me see!

A man and a woman alone in a room? Preposterous!

This is none of your business!

You, too.

Why didn't you say it's a birthmark? I wouldn't want to look at that!

You didn't tell me a thing or give me a chance to speak! Look at you!

You even ripped my clothes apart! Utterly uncouth!

So, that's what you're looking for.

What...

Big Brother! I saw that lad run there!

Come on! Let's go over there!

Th-Those were the ruffians who robbed me!

Fine, I'll teach them a lesson to make it up to you.

Miss! Miss, they...

Eat this.

Wh-What... How can you two be so unruly?!

Why are you tagging along for a fight? How long are you going to follow me around?

Forever.

- Did you find him? - Nope.

He's from the central plains, so he should be in the inn up ahead. Let's go.

This one is even more good-looking than the one who fled. Grab him!

Are you guys blind? Why are you targeting him instead of me?

Why would we capture you? Women dancing is a common sight.

Oh, I see.

Watching men dance is entertaining,

but you can't kidnap people off the streets!

We're in the wrong for kidnapping people,

but you can't beat people up!

You even beat us up so brutally!

Shouldn't you be punished for your evil deeds?

I'm warning you guys.

Don't bring knives and swords when you're out. Scram!

Let's go!

Come on!

What's up with you? Why are you injured from just watching us?

I...

I'm feeling unwell from the pathogenic wind.

You won't puke up blood from that.

I told you, the pathogenic wind is afflicting me.

Should I get you a doctor?

I'm a doctor.

Quick, help me back.

Hurry up! I'm about to topple!

Fine.

W-Wait, what are you doing?

Conducting acupuncture to cure myself.

Are you going to prick yourself with needles? Aren't you afraid of pain?

I am, so...

Can you hug me from behind?

If you do so, I won't fidget no matter how pain it is.

If I insert the needle in the wrong place,

my meridian flow will be reversed, and I'll lose all my martial arts skills.

Saving a life is more honorable than building a seven tier pagoda.

Fine.

I'll call that scholar over

and let him have this blessed chance.

Why are you calling him over?

Aren't I the one you've been looking for?

This bite mark...

You can't possibly forget the mark you left behind.

I...

Let me bite you again to confirm if I did that.

You're still so reckless.

What's wrong? Want to bite me again?

Your arm.

You bit yourself thrice to save me.

Did you forget that too?

Didn't you say to only take one bite?

How many bites did you give me?

When I woke up this morning, I couldn't even stop my nose from bleeding.

I was afraid it wouldn't be enough, so I bit a few extra bites.

Don't worry. My flesh is good.

Don't worry, I'll recover tomorrow. I bit down a little hard.

You look like you've been chewed by a rat.

Quite a few chunks are missing. It will look ugly.

Don't hate me for biting you.

It took me great effort to recall my memories,

but you tried to steal them away.

I don't want to forget you.

If I really did,

this mark

will lead me to you.

In life and in death,

we shall never part.

We will never be separated again.

In fact, we're fated to be together.

I would never make a mistake in finding you.

Did you bite that raw radish earlier?

You didn't have to remind me in that manner.

Have you recalled the past?

The night is long.

We have all the time in the world to find out.

Is that the homeland of the Bai clan?

Yes, that place is surrounded by water and serene.

I'll bring you there next time.

Why not now?

That's because you're best friend, Lin Xiaoxiao, is waiting to tease you on your wedding night.

But you're the only one I can recall.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have made decisions for you.

But even in my muddled state,

I came here.

That mark also helped me recognize you.

I'm sure other memories will come back to me in time.

Well said.

We can definitely grow old together and spend every moment by each other's side.

We shall never part.

Must we spend every moment together?

In that case,

I won't be able to enjoy other men dancing.

I can't chat with other men about life, ambitions, and poetry!

Repeat yourself. I didn't hear you clearly.

I said...

Well...

You're the only one I see. You're the only one for me.

There won't be anyone else.

Young Master, you're the most perfect man in this world.

What an exaggerated expression and superficial words.

Well...

Will this action help?

I don't have the energy to hug you.

Just say you don't want to hug me. What's that about having no energy?

Do you know how exhausted I am from looking for you?

You had the time of your life drinking wine and feasting on meat.

Do you think you're gained weight?

Are you disdainful of me for getting fat?

Someone once told me

the western region has delicious food.

Since I'm here,

I have to eat to my heart's content.

I said that, and you still look pretty even if you're fat.

Having a mouth is wonderful.

Let me say something too.

Spending every moment with you, gorwing old together,

is the greatest blessing of my life.

Me, too.

I will change for you.

I will make your life blissful.

Your Highness.

I failed to locate Miss Ye first.

If you're still angry, I'll accept any punishment.

I'm not angry.

I admit defeat, and our competition has nothing to do with you.

Your Highness,

this is a gift from Valley Master Bai.

He hopes that your troubles can dissipate, and you can treasure your life to govern the world.

I can never

obtain what I desire.

My wishes end up in nothing.

Yet, he wants me to love the common folk?

Your Highness, Miss Ye is part of the common folk.

I hope for your health and safety as well.

Only then will you have the chance to meet frequently.

You recovered so quickly because of Fenghua Valley's meticulous care.

You often talked about razing Fenghua Valley to the ground,

but Valley Master Bai never held grudges and saved you many times.

More than benevolence, he treats you with sincerity.

I will treasure my life,

but true love no longer exists in my world.

What are you hiding?

Did you buy more storybooks behind my back?

This isn't a storybook! It's a travel diary by that scholar!

You don't even treasure my drawings for you,

but the works of others are gems to you.

That's because you were so ungentlemanly!

You only beautified yourself!

This scholar is a talented gentleman!

His writings are excellent!

Yes, they're great. Why didn't you agree to admire the misty rain in Jiangnan with him?

You knew about that? Are you jealous?

- What are you doing? - Stay still!

It looks hideous. Toss it away.

That wasn't a gift from the scholar. Are you jealous over that too?

This hair tie is so exquisite.

Is this a token of your love?

Our love is set in stone. We don't need such tokens.

This is just something for you, but I'm just lacking a hair stick.

When I find excellent camphor wood,

I'll make a nice hair stick for you.

Camphor?

Isn't Jiangnan famous for those trees? The travel diary said so.

Can you stop mentioning Jiangnan to me?

Why not?

Why won't you take me there?

Why did you even ask me about rejecting him? You're the reason.

In my eyes,

you're always the best.

Are you still jealous?

I'm never jealous.

Well, what's with that gloomy face just now?

That's because I've had enough.

Come on.

Tie it on.

Young Master,

let's conduct our marriage ceremony first

and then head to Flowing Water Manor to have fun at their marriage?

All done.

By the way, I haven't asked you about the man buried with you.

That's an old friend you don't need to know about.

Is that so?

He sure is handsome, so much so that I can't forget him after a single glance.

If you mention other men before me again,

I'll keep your lips sealed.

Being with your true love

is such bliss.

This is what you want.

I will fulfill your wishes.

I will protect the peace you wish for in this world

and ensure your life of peace.

There is no tree of wisdom, nor stand of mirror bright.

Since there is but a void, where can dust fall?

Your Highness, you're made your prayers. Let's hurry back to the palace.

Wasn't this tree withered?

This is an aged tree, but Valley Master Bai said there was hope in reviving it.

We followed his instructions, and we managed to revive it.

I still remember

a tree older than this one grows in Fenghua Valley.

It was so lush.

I was just about to make a report.

Fenghua Valley sent over many top grade medicinal herbs and ingredients for porridge.

Porridge?

Are those worth making such a long journey to deliver?

Valley Master Bai selected these for you.

Daily consumption can strengthen the body and ensure longevity.

These are supposed to be better than medicine...

Deliver all Night Pearls in the palace to Fenghua Valley.

Make that payment for Fenghua Valley's gifts.

After that,

move this tree right before my bedroom.

But...

But this tree was just revived. Valley Master Bai advised that we take meticulous care of it.

If the move damages it...

If it withers, so be it.

If you can't even carry out such a simple task,

don't bother showing up before me again.

One more thing.

Don't mention the two of them so casually.

Why aren't you going in?

The weather is nice today, so I'm taking a stroll.

Uncle Hui, what are you carrying?

They bought this.

It cost 10 taels of silver.

[Scripture] Don't doubt your eyes. This word cost 10 taels of silver.

10 taels of silver for a useless piece of paper?

Selling a secret scripture per page.

Isn't that a smart idea?

Maximizing profits in this way is too unscrupulous!

I was just trying to earn some allowance!

Besides, I'm doing this for the harmony of the martial arts world!

This is a fair and transparent transaction!

Isn't it great that people don't have to fight?

What's going on? Did you get into a quarrel?

Hey, can you make it clear that she's behind it?

If you do, I won't say anything offensive!

What's the reason for this fight? Tell me, and I'll mediate.

It's all because of Chu Yao and his wife.

On the second day of their marriage,

they quarreled over sweet and savory beancurd.

She came back and asked about my favorite flavor.

I casually answered,

savoury beancurd has its charms.

Then, she said she was devastated.

J-Just because of this?

There was also...

She said those years wandering the world was tiring.

I prescribed medicine to soothe her body.

The medicine was a little bitter, so she accused me of making her life miserable.

In that case, it must be more than a little bitter.

It was definitely extraordinarily bitter.

In my opinion, you were in the wrong.

I have an idea.

You can plead guilty and atone on your knees.

Atonement?

Only kneeling on thorns would express true sincerity.

Uncle Hui,

go look for some thorns, those that are resistant to breaking.

Okay.

Enough! Will you really make me suffer on thorns? Get moving.

Aren't you the one who wants to atone for your wrongs?

Let's not argue anymore.

Sit.

I'll listen to you on everything from now on. Don't be angry anymore.

Sure.

But I have a condition.

I heard Xiaoxiao and Chu Yao

have an agreement of three rules.

I don't mind however many rules.

But can you please not mention them?

Speak.

When we get up in the morning,

you must comb my hair and draw my eyebrows.

When the weather is cold, get an extra comforter for me.

When the weather is hot, you'll fan for me.

If you leave my sight for more than one hour,

you must notify me in advance.

Why don't you drink the medicine first? Here.

That...

The most important thing is

can you not force me to drink the medicinal soup anymore?

I can agree on everything you said before that.

But if you think

the medicine is too bitter, I'll feed you.

Your way of sharing the good and bad in life

is a little too much, isn't it?

What's the matter? Are you feeling bad?

I'm fine.

Don't try to diagnose and treat me on anything trivial.

Come.

Do you realize that you're pregnant?

I'll take your pulse every day from now on.

Don't get upset over nothing. Don't eat randomly.

When you leave my sight over half an hour, you must notify me in advance.

Also,

don't sell that scripture. It'll take too much effort.

We aren't short of money.

So many Night Pearls are piled over thre.

Those are a gift to you, not to me.

Are you still separating what's yours or mine now?

You are making me sad.

I'm devastated.

I said that casually.

Don't get agitated.

I will listen to you on everything from now on, all right?

Good.

I'm pregnant, but this is how you treat me?

Don't worry.

I'm a miracle physician.

I know what to do.

It's good for your health to move around more.

Don't they say you'd lose your calm if you care too much about something?

Why aren't you nervous at all?

That's because I don't want you to get anxious.

I think

we should raise our child like an herb.

There are some that are difficult to raise.

They get sick whenever there's too much or too little water.

They also get sick if it gets cold or hot.

But some of them are easy to raise.

You can throw them to the wilderness to be exposed to the wind and the sun,

they can still grow well.

Let nature take its course.

That's after the baby is born.

It's still early. I think you are the anxious one.

I'll tell you something that'll make you happy.

Remember the seeds you planted in the ginseng garden?

Later, I asked Uncle Hui to move them to a less traveled place in Changliu Mountain.

Uncle Hui said 80 percent of them are alive.

- Really? - Really.

There'll be ginseng in Changliu Mountain in the future.

This is wonderful. I've finally achieved virtuous merits.

I'm going to find some good foods to celebrate.

You better not go. I'll go.

How can I let my young master do such manual labor?

You should let me move more. Didn't you say it's good for my health?

Be good.

Wait for me here. I'll be right back.

I was teasing you.

You didn't coax me.

Why is your heart beating so fast? Are you that nervous?

You are in my embrace.

Am I?

You'll have to get used to it. Let's go inside.

Oh yes. What do you want to eat?

Let's make some soup. Chicken soup, fish soup, or rib soup?

I'm tired of those soups.

Don't be picky.

Actually, I think you should never

go to the kitchen, Young Master.

For you, I'm willing.
