[Love Is Written in the Stars]

[Episode 16]

Fine.

I knew you wouldn't listen anyway.

Wei Qi?

Wei Qi.

Wei Qi.

Wei Qi.

How many times have I told you?

Knock before you enter.

I don't have time for that.

What do you mean?

I want to take you somewhere.

There are things

I want to start over with you.

Wei Qi.

You and I...

That's it for us.

Don't come to me again.

Even though

my palpitation is gone,

I don't want to go through this moment again.

Why are you just standing there?

Why aren't you talking?

You brought me here using your power.

No explanations?

I'm sorry.

You don't need to be.

What are you sorry for?

You just did the same thing twice.

It's my fault.

I knew you had no heart,

but I came back for you.

Forget it. It's pointless.

I'll just leave.

Let me go.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry.

We came here

because I regret it so much.

This time, I won't let you go again.

Wei Qi.

I like you.

This is...

Phantom Peach Blossom.

It only blossoms for true love.

I wanted to see it with you the last time.

But you left.

So?

Isn't that obvious? I'm confessing my feelings to you.

I see.

What?

This is an illusion you created, right?

Do you ever get sick of it?

Alright. Let's go back to where we came from.

What about your answer?

Did you say anything significant?

Demanding an answer right away?

Then how long do you need?

It depends.

If you don't leave now, I'll call someone.

Do it.

I'll stay here with you anyway.

Zhou Yuan.

Where did you learn to be so shameless?

Are you smiling?

You called my name.

Good night, Wei Qi.

Good night.

Why did I say that to you?

You losers.

Father,

we didn't want to make a scene.

We were just worried about our sister.

What if she really left with that Ning Lan boy?

We won't have anyone to count on.

He's right, Father.

We didn't expect

that bastard to override the spell cast by the Department of Marriage

to protect our sister.

Did Ning Lan do that

just for Yan?

He did, Father.

We saw it with our own eyes.

Look, Father, our blood is the proof.

I guess Ning Lan

is not useless after all.

Officiate Zhou, how long are you going to be like this?

Until the day you're straightforward.

Is it so hard to give me an answer?

You're dodging me.

Funny.

The road is there.

And I would like to walk on it.

Also, no matter how many times you ask me,

my answer will be the same.

- That you would date me? - Yes.

No!

Then you would marry me?

The marriage registration office is right there. We can go.

Zhou Yuan!

Are you even listening to me?

I am.

But you are known for not speaking from your heart.

So I had to use my own way

to find out.

How?

By your body.

I heard that honest people

can make a circle with their arms.

Can you?

Easy.

See?

See?

I knew your body would be more honest.

Your Lordship, heartbeats don't lie.

I think you should probably stay still,

otherwise, your body will sell more.

It's working time now.

Most people are working now. They don't have the time to...

Well…

I didn't mean to do that.

I know.

I saw clearly who started it,

and who went along with it.

Brother.

Isn't that the stamp Ning Lan always used?

Why do you have it?

Right.

I haven't seen Ning Lan for a while.

Where did he go?

You didn't know?

He is a prisoner at the Department of Discipline.

Just let me in.

I will just be a minute.

Miss Lin.

I have a strict order from Lord Cui.

Please don't make it hard on me.

I won't say anything.

I just want to see him from afar.

Please.

Don't waste your time.

Are these enough?

Of course.

I will take you in right now.

Open the gate.

Open the door inside, too.

Ning Lan.

Lin Yan.

Ning Lan.

Lin Yan.

Lin Yan.

How are you? Did they hurt you?

How is your neck?

It's fine. I'm good.

How about you?

Did your father scold you?

I'm okay.

Sorry.

I don't want to interrupt you.

But we don't have much time.

Ning Lan.

I want you to tell me

everything about what happened.

If it was your fault,

I won't be biased.

But if you were framed,

I won't sit around doing nothing.

I am willing to accept the consequences.

I don't need to be saved by anyone.

Besides,

so what if you knew the truth?

Are you willing to go up against Cui Ying

and the entire Department of Marriage for me?

I just asked for the truth.

How is that against the Department of Marriage?

I guess you don't know the truth

about the Department of Marriage.

But I can't blame you.

Even I didn't know it

until yesterday.

Ning Lan.

If you really like Lin Yan,

my advice is to pull away right now

What do you mean?

There is no future

between unusual talents.

What?

Is that true?

It's a shock, right?

It was the same for me too.

I didn't know there was

such an unwritten rule in the Department of Marriage.

What for? There must be a reason.

Is there anything that I don't know

about unusual talent?

There's no point yelling at me.

I won't release Ning Lan.

At least tell me,

why can't unusual talents be together?

Turn around.

The answer is right behind you.

The answer you're talking about

is these stars?

Why is that star suddenly bright?

Because that star is you.

Zhou Yuan.

I…

That one is Ning Lan.

This one is Lin Yan.

And that one is Xingyue.

No matter where the unusual talents are,

with this unusual talent star map,

the Department of Marriage will see it all.

What about these dim stars?

Those are unusual talents whose powers are not activated.

In this world,

the number of unusual talents

will remain at a rather stable status.

And through giving birth,

they can pass the powers to the next generation.

However,

it is limited to

a marriage between an unusual talent and an ordinary person.

If it's two unusual talents together,

what will happen?

One of them

would die.

What?

Why didn't you tell me sooner about this?

If I did, will you let Ning Lan and Lin Yan be separated?

I…

I can't do that.

In your opinion,

the matching standard we advocate is too traditional.

But have you thought about

if their powers are used by someone with evil intentions,

how horrible the consequences will be?

Are you saying

that unusual talents

are not allowed to free love?

Zhou Yuan, you are too naive.

One day,

you will pay for it.

[Lin's House]

[Invitation]

[Weapon Ceremony]

Father.

Why did you come to me so late?

I have something to talk to you about.

If you're here for Ning Lan,

save it.

That boy hit my son,

and I need him to pay a proper price.

But…

Yan.

Remember who you are.

This is the Lin's house.

Your brothers were hurt.

Master, there is a guest at the gate.

I see.

Stay in your room and reflect on it.

Yes.

[To Dearest Mother]

Thank you, Father.

Isn't this

the letter I asked Father

to give to Mother?

Why is it still here?

All of them are here.

Why?

Is he...

Is Father lying to me this whole time?

Lin Yan.

Mr. Ning, you're still alive.

Quite a temper.

What a waste of our good intentions.

We were about to tell you some news about our sister.

- Guess you don't need it. - Lin yan?

Let's go then.

What happened to Lin Yan?

After tonight, your beloved Lin Yan

will marry again.

Marry?

You bastards!

Brother.

Nice to meet you, Lord of Nanzhao.

We can save the etiquette, Mr. Lin.

You're right.

I should be calling you

Mr. Father-in-law.

Here are the betrothal presents.

Please kindly accept them.

You're too kind, my lord.

Come on in.

Don't try anything.

I have promised you to the Lord of Nanzhao.

I won't do it!

Yan.

I don't understand.

Why do you have to make me

marry someone I don't like?

In your eyes,

am I a toy

that you can just give away?

Enough.

I didn't want to make it so clear.

But did you know

without powers,

you weren't supposed to be born?

Without powers,

I won't be here?

Father,

what do you mean by that?

Silly.

Do you still think

your Ink Reading

was a natural talent?

Are you...?

Compared to me,

you're way behind.

Your Ink Reading

can only read the whereabouts of one person.

But,

back in the day,

I...

I was able to read people's minds.

Somebody help us.

Help. Anyone?

Somebody, help.

- Help. - Help.

- Help. - The prisoner has escaped.

The prisoner is gone.

My first wish,

a peaceful world.

My second wish,

a healthy body.

I'm not trying to be your mother.

Then...

I mean...

I mean...

You mean

You're offering to be my hero?

My Lord.

Her Ladyship has been waiting for you in the room.

Honey.

Honey.

What are you doing?

Honey.

Let go of me. I'm not your honey.

Lin Yan, wait for me.

I'm on my way.

You lack the strength to commit suicide.

What?

You're so unhappy to be married to me, the Lord of Nanzhao?

I didn't mind you were once rejected as a bride.

Why are you pretending

to be a chaste martyr

I...

I have someone I like.

I'd rather die

than marry you.

What did you say?

I dare you to say it again.

I, Lin Yan,

have someone I like.

Let alone this life,

even in my next life, or the life after that,

I will never be your woman.

You've got a temper.

You know what,

that makes me like you even more.

I will make you obey me,

or I won't leave this room.

Let go of me.

Damn you! Let go of me.

- You are an animal. Go to hell. - Sure.

Tell me,

how exactly

do you want me to go to hell?

Bite your tongue and die!

Lin Yan.

Ning Lan.

Is it you?

Am I dreaming?

No.

You're not dreaming.

I'm sorry.

I was late.

Ning Lan.

Take me away.

Can you take me away?

Okay.

I will.

Get out.

Anyone who stops me will die.

Father, I have news

about the Moon Flute.

Who has the Moon Flute?

Lord of Nanzhao.

Lord of Nanzhao?

Ning lan.

Lin Yan.

Are you saying that one of us has to die?

It's hard to accept, right?

I didn't expect it.

But based on my research so far,

a marriage between unusual talents

will lead to such consequences.

Ning Lan is gone?

When I woke up,

I was lying in Hanhai Hall,

and Ning Lan was gone.

Is this...

He put a Power Word on me.

I can't Ink Read him.

[Red String Temple]

I've been to every location I can think of.

This is the only one left.

Master, please help me find him.

He won't be here.

It's blood.

And it has dried.

Could it be Master's?

It's been here for a long time.

What is it?

What is that sound?

Is it this box?

I... I'm very brave.

Don't try to scare me.

All ghosts, leave right now.

Leave.

Jiang Ran?

Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran.

What happened to you?

I'll dress your wounds first.

Honey. Honey.

- Jiang Ran. - Honey. Are you my wife?

- Wife. - Who's your wife?

You're my wife.

- I'm not your wife. - You are my wife.

- Calm down, Jiang Ran. - Wife.

You are.

- Wei Qi. - Look carefully.

Who is your wife?

Honey.

I found you.

I finally found you.

Jiang Ran?

Jiang Ran, are you okay?

Jiang Ran.

Isn't that what we drew last time?

Miss Lv!

You finally figured it out.

I thought this face looked familiar.

Who is this person?

An unusual talent from Shenji Sect.

She has the power of changing her face.

She goes by the name Wu Yan.

I still don't get it.

Jiang Ran is just a stupid boy.

Who did he piss off?

Why would those people

from Shenji Sect do this to him?

Shenji Sect has always seen the Department of Marriage as an enemy.

Jiang Ran left Shenji Sect

and joined the Department of Marriage.

Of course, the three disciples of Shenji Sect would target him,

to set an example.

Zhou Yuan, ever since you joined the Department of Marriage,

I've never tried to impose my thoughts on you.

Because I knew

that it takes a hard fall

for you to know pain.

Now you've seen what happened to the Lin family.

Ning Lan lost control of his power.

He killed the Lord of Nanzhao,

and hurt dozens of people in the Lin family.

But...

it wasn't Ning Lan's fault.

Lin Peng forced Lin Yan...

Then what did Jiang Ran do wrong?

Shenji Sect abused an unusual talent who joined the Department of Marriage.

Do you think by saying "It's not his fault",

you can deny the fact that unusual talents abused their power,

and they can just get away with it?

That's not what I'm saying.

Head Cui.

I don't like

what I just heard.

This is an internal matter of the Department of Marriage.

I was talking to my subordinate.

You are an outsider.

Who are you calling an outsider?

Shang Fang Token.

Wei Qi, did you...

This Shang Fang Token was given to the Wei family by His Majesty.

Anyone who holds it

can exercise the power of appointment and removal of any personnel

without reporting to the Imperial Court.

Which means...

Which means, from now on,

Zhou Yuan won't be working for you, Cui Ying,

but for me,

Director of the Department of Marriage,

Wei Qi.

I heard that you applied

to join the Department of Marriage.

Yes, I did.

Why?

You could have been a martial official,

but why did you choose a civilian position?

Are you throwing away your future?

Father.

I know what I'm doing.

You...

What happened?

Is something nice

going to happen in our family?

Something nice?

With such a troublesome son,

my hair is going to turn white.

How is that?

Yunchu,

who just came back from Nanzhao,

has an outstanding combat achievement.

With that,

he could have gotten a proper position in the Imperial Court,

but he, being the stupid boy that he is,

gave up on the martial official position,

and went to the Department of Marriage

to become a Director.

What was he thinking?

The Department of Marriage?

I'm worried sick about this,

and you're laughing.

Father, think about it.

Yunchu went into the Department of Marriage.

Perhaps he was trying to get a head start.

What head start?

Start to what?

Once he enters the Department of Marriage,

he won't be allowed to marry.

What about the marriage that His Majesty arranged for him?

I see it now.

That boy is trying to get out of that marriage.

Alright, Father.

Don't be mad at him.

How could I not be?

It's going to be fun.

I want to run away from reality.

I hear footsteps.

It's Wei Qi.

Crap.

What am I going to do?

Where do I hide?

Wait.

The Yuexia Pavilion is an illusion I created.

Wei Qi can't see it.

Why would I hide?

Zhou Yuan.

How long are you going to be skipping work?

You can't see me. You can't see me.

Zhou Yuan.

You...

How did you get in?

I walked in.

Or what, by flying?

Wait.

This is an illusion I created.

What Wei Qi is seeing

should be an empty Unusual Talent Hall.

I came here as a new official,

and you're trying to leave an impression

of being absent in daylight?

Playing hide and seek in this Yuexia Pavilion?

Tell me. Why were you absent from work?

Explain everything in 100 words.

It's because of Jiang Ran.

He is the first unusual talent I met after coming here.

I really hoped it would work out for him and Miss Lv.

But...

I brought harm to him.

I thought it was a big deal.

But it was not.

How is that not a big deal?

You didn't see Jiang Ran.

He is about to lose his mind.

Losing his mind?

You mean him?

Jiang Ran?

Officiate Zhou.

Are you alright?

Thank you.

You saved my life.

You gave me another life.

You don't have to be so dramatic.

I heard from Head Cui

that you were in shock because of something

and became delusional.

What did Miss Lv

do to you?

Officiate Zhou.

I only have myself to blame

for this situation I'm in.

How would I know that Miss Lv...

What did she do to you?

Stop it. Stop.

It hurts. I can't take it.

This is what happens when you betray Shenji Sect.

Stop.

Just kill me.

Isn't she vicious?

Emmm...

It was an interesting way to torture someone.

[Li's House]

I can't sleep.

The more I try, the harder it gets.

I can't sleep.

Oh my God.

What is going on?

Why are you in my bed

in the middle of the night?

You scared me.

I can't sleep.

Try to count sheep.

Then you'll fall asleep.

I can't sleep, so you must stay awake.

Please. Give me a break.

I have an early morning.

Right.

How about you make some food for me?

Perhaps if I'm full,

I can go to sleep.

How am I going to get food for you in the middle of the night?

Fine. I will go get it for you.

I can't read it.

Miss, it's lunchtime.

You should take a break.

Ever since you woke up,

you've been forcing yourself to use Ink Reading.

If you keep doing it, the countercharge from the power

will make you blind for a few days.

Ning Lan is still missing.

I don't have a choice.

You can't keep doing this to yourself.

If it goes on like this, your body

would break down before you find him.

Here.

Are you okay?

Xue Deng?
