[Love Is Written in the Stars]

[Episode 17]

Here.

Are you okay?

Xue Deng?

7am to 9am, cultivating at Xueqing Building.

9am to 11am, playing with a child.

Wait.

Xueqing Building?

[Xueqing Building]

I'm back.

Bing, you're back.

I'm back.

You went to get Osmanthus Cake for Lin again.

Lin likes it.

So I bought some more.

He's a child. Don't spoil him.

I didn't just get the cake.

What is this?

I went past Red String Temple

and got a peace talisman for you and him.

Thank you for taking me in these days.

[Peace Talisman]

What? Xue Deng is falling out with the three disciples of Shenji Sect?

It's simple.

The three disciples of Shenji Sect are tired of his manipulation.

They want to break free from him,

and take Shenji Sect for themselves.

Impressive, Yunchu.

You managed to get so much information on unusual talents

in such a short amount of time.

Enough with the flattery.

I didn't spend three months in Nanzhao having fun.

Amazing, boss.

Actually, you don't have to worry about these rights or wrongs.

Trust me.

I know how to change the situation.

Wei Qi.

What?

You do care about me, right?

What are you talking about?

Look me in the eye and tell me.

There is a place for me in your heart, right?

I am your superior.

And we're working. Behave yourself.

I won't.

You could have just ignored me.

If you didn't care about me,

you would not be so concerned about unusual talents.

No matter what you say, you care about me,

and you can't stop thinking about me.

I said, I'm not…

I don't believe you.

Push me away.

Don't give me any hope.

Wei Qi, your heart is beating fast.

That's your heart.

[Red String Temple]

What am I doing,

coming to the Red String Temple several times for a woman?

But what's going on with Wei Qing?

Her kid is about school-age,

why is she suddenly interested in romance?

She is asking me to kneel in front of this bastard.

Fine.

I am a man, and I am flexible.

Your coming here saves my trouble.

We might as well

just get closure here and now.

You are alone now.

Don't think I'll be afraid of you.

Wu Yan. Wu Ying.

Xue Deng, just wait.

I will get help.

Miss Lin, are you having fun?

Come in.

I can't believe I agreed to come here with him.

What if he brought me somewhere weird?

Where am I?

Don't you know already?

As you can see one's face and trace them from far away.

It's called Ink Reading.

[Xue Deng's whereabouts]

How did you know that?

From the Unusual Talent Records in the Department of Marriage.

You ranked 36th on that list.

Your disgraceful dad

became the rich and disgusting man

that he is now because of you.

It seems to be a useful talent.

But not as useful as Ning Lan's.

The Department of Marriage used you to get him registered.

It's a good deal.

How is the mad dog? Handy?

Ning Lan is not a mad dog.

Maybe, but still, he causes trouble.

Didn't you come to me for him?

Please enlighten me.

I can't.

Name your price.

As long as I can afford it.

You can.

But it costs half of your life. Would you still do it?

If you can't do it, don't get involved.

I've seen many people like you.

You talk about morality and kindness,

but when the time comes…

- Play with me. - Childe.

- Play with me. - Childe, what are you doing here?

Don't sit on the cold ground.

Childe, wait for a second.

I mean…

Childe.

I mean,

salvation comes at a price.

I'm not that cheap.

Childe, knock it off.

Childe, stop it.

Childe, we can play later.

You should take care of him first.

Knock it off, Childe.

The one I want you to ink-read

was so heavily poisoned that he lost his five senses,

and he's as good as dead now.

As long as he is still alive,

I can easily trace him.

Don't get ahead of yourself.

What do you mean?

I'm not asking you to ink-read his memories for a day or two.

I suggest that you be prepared.

[Romantic His Lordship]

That Xue Deng bastard. He insulted me.

Wu Yan, Wu Ying.

Let's attack him together later.

That should do it.

I didn't like this lordship from the beginning.

He seems like a scumbag.

What do you know? It's called being romantic.

Take this.

Take that.

Both of you.

Boss, with due respect,

you have the only aggressive ability

among the three of us.

If you couldn't defeat Xue Deng,

what good will we be?

I just can't stand it.

Xue Deng is a freak.

He might be strong, but he's got to have a weakness.

Both of you, I'm begging you.

Stop fooling around.

I'm counting on you to find a way against Xue Deng.

Although, Boss...

I have some news.

I wasn't fooling around.

Look.

I asked you to find a way against Xue Deng.

Why are you showing me this stupid rock?

Let me explain.

I've been asking around recently,

and I heard an important secret.

There is a new employee in the Department of Marriage called Zhou Yuan,

and she's been absorbing powers from unusual talents.

Absorbing powers? Can they do that?

More importantly,

do you know what she uses to do that?

What?

This.

This?

This thing can store power?

Isn't that amazing?

If we had plenty of this rock,

we can easily take down Xue Deng.

So where do we find these rocks?

It's called Wuyin Stone.

Do you still remember

Xue Deng mentioning a place called Wuyin Mountain?

Judging by the resemblance,

I'm guessing Wuyin Stone is from Wuyin Mountain.

And, Boss, I have a map.

Where is it?

[Wuyin Mountain] Here.

[Pei Yin's whereabouts.]

Ink-reading a decade long itinerary,

she is risking her eyesight for Ning Lan,

and she's not even frowning.

[Leaving Wuyin Mountain]

[Coming to Shengjing City to visit Chief-in-command]

I'm taking this scroll.

Wait,

we had a deal.

You are supposed to give me news about Ning Lan.

Ning Lan is fine, and you don't need to worry about him.

I don't want vague answers like that.

I agreed to give you some information,

and I didn't say it would be in detail.

After leaving the Department of Marriage,

he's having a good time.

You should worry about yourself, instead of him.

At least tell me where he is now.

He is quite far, yet so near.

Boss, we're here.

This is Wuyin Mountain.

Wu Ying, there seems to be

nothing special about this mountain.

Can we really find those amazing rocks?

I can feel

a certain mysterious power

connecting with my body.

That's amazing, Boss.

We must be in the right place if the Boss says so.

What's with the sudden change of attitude?

Boss, don't leave us.

Boss.

Freeze.

There's miasma.

Tell us sooner, Boss.

We're dying.

This is too hard.

You losers.

I never should have counted on you.

Boss, I feel awful. How am I supposed to know

there is miasma in Wuyin Mountain?

Did you go to Wuyin Mountain?

What?

Have you heard of it?

Of course, it's near my hometown.

It used to be inhabited,

but ever since the landslide that happened 16 years ago,

it's been filled with miasma,

and no one has entered ever since.

What about those people living there?

Who knows?

Even if they survived the landslide,

there's no way they can survive in that miasma.

Did you hear him?

Boss.

Maybe we should give up on that Wuyin Stone.

- No more. - We could literally die.

We must go.

But the miasma...

I'm going to be sick.

Do whatever you want. But I'm not going to that mountain again.

Loser.

Can't you find someone to go in for us?

Yes or no?

[Li's House]

Xingyue.

Xingyue.

Xingyue.

Am I entering another dream?

You're dreaming?

Wake up.

Why did you pinch me?

Stop bullying me.

Why are you accusing me of that?

I'm sleepy.

That's not fair.

You didn't...

even give me a chance to talk back.

[Invitation]

[Weapon Ceremony]

Our Childe is sighing again.

Ever since he received the invitation to the Weapon Ceremony,

he's been like this.

I guess the broken Xingluo Sword

was a shock to him.

Xingyue is getting weirder these days.

Did I have Osmanthus Cake yesterday?

Li Mian, have you seen my sugar painting?

I placed it right here.

She's sleepwalking and forgetting things.

She can't have dementia at this age, right?

Do you know where Her Ladyship is?

She left the house earlier.

Again?

Is she pretending

to be all crazy

just to avoid me?

Where are you going?

Father.

Where are you going to idle about?

I'm not idling about.

Xingyue is missing, and I'm going to find her.

Stop.

All this talk of romance is idling about.

Mian.

In this Weapon Ceremony, all the sects

are mustering up the energy to compete.

We are the first in the martial arts alliance, and you must behave like it.

From now on, your top priority

is repairing Xingluo Sword.

Other than that, don't worry about anything else.

Father, you know what?

Xingyue is my wife and the woman of this house.

Now her body is deteriorating,

and if I abandon her

for the sake of that... Weapon Ceremony,

wouldn't that make me a monster?

Don't get me started

on how useless she's been for your career

ever since you got married.

You're no use either.

You couldn't even make a baby by now.

Why did you marry her? To have a bodhisattva?

I am a loser anyway.

Haven't you realized by now

that your son is meant to be a failure?

You...

You're a dead mouse feeling no cold.

Does the ranking in martial arts alliance matter that much to you?

I just want our family to be happy together.

Xingyue is my wife,

and I have to go find her.

You...

What am I going to do with him?

I'm jealous of your good appetite.

I've almost completed all my prophecy dreams.

How can I not have a good appetite?

What prophecy dreams? Tell me.

Nope.

There's only one last piece left.

Bi Xingyue.

I've been looking everywhere for you.

And you are just happily enjoying your food.

Let go of me.

I asked Xingyue to come.

I needed her advice.

Her advice?

She's a little girl who knows nothing.

Scoot over.

You should have come to me for that.

Right.

Allow me to humbly ask, Master Li,

what's a woman got to do

to win a man's heart?

You found the right guy.

It's time to introduce

the tricks up my sleeve.

What tricks?

Step one, you need to look pretty.

As the saying goes,

clothes make the man.

Step two, you need to make

some subtle physical contact with him,

such as holding his hand or putting a hand on his shoulder.

When the timing is right,

just pretend you're drunk and fall into his arms.

If you do as I say,

you will get to him.

This is your favorite.

I know what to do.

[Tianxiang Restaurant]

Will Zhou Yuan make it?

My waist hurts just hiding here.

What an unpromising apprentice.

I guess she needs my help after all.

What are you two doing?

What's taking so long?

I...

I am waiting for you.

Xingyue.

What are you doing?

Your tricks.

The tricks you showed us earlier.

This is bad.

I didn't expect Xingyue to be so sensitive.

Finally, they're a happy couple.

This is great news.

You put in so much work

not for yourself, but for someone else.

Why didn't you use your brain on yourself?

I'm from the Department of Marriage after all.

It's a good thing to make a happy couple.

Besides,

who said I didn't use my brain on myself?

I have other plans.

Tell me, what are your plans?

Come with me. I have a gift for you.

It's so dark. Why did you bring me here?

Are you ready?

One, two.

Three.

Don't laugh.

Where are we going?

To see your gift.

Zhou Yuan, you did this on purpose.

Yes, I did.

Zhou Yuan.

What? Are you trying to hold my hand?

Who says I was going to?

Listen to me, Zhou Yuan.

I am offering you a chance to make amends.

If you don't come to me within the count of three,

I'll...

Like this?

Your plan worked.

Is it that satisfying to make fun of me?

This way, you can fully rely on me.

Yuan.

Actually, I never wanted to avoid you.

Really?

So you didn't have to...

Alright, close your eyes.

Open them now.

♫ The wind blows open my palm to send out your fragrance ♫

[A pretty face I'll never be able to forget]

What is it?

It's a gift for you, a lantern I made.

[A pretty face I'll never be able to forget]

Looks ordinary.

Obviously made by someone clumsy.

Also, what does it mean?

Why did you write that?

Not just that.

Lin Yan said, those words

were all classics from novels.

She picked them for me.

♫ I want to hear you say that you have a crush on someone ♫

♫ Owning this moment of happiness ♫

Come with me.

♫ Go back the way and give you protection ♫

♫ Even if it's destined to have pain ♫

♫ Thank you for being my gift ♫

[You taught me how to miss someone and now I'm bound by it.] ♫ Happiness filled with twists and turns is blessed by God ♫

Mushy.

Do you know the meaning of missing someone?

Of course I do.

When you were gone, I...

If you don't like them,

I have one last lantern.

Don't look.

If this one fails again, I have nothing.

What did you write?

Mainly to ask

if you would like to...

No.

At least until after I see it.

[I pray for a soul to never part with.] ♫ The entanglement between us sank into the river of time ♫

It's mushy as hell, right?

I knew it.

Is that what you want to say?

I don't understand every meaning of them,

but they cover what I wanted to say.

Wei Qi.

Which one would you give me first? Your body or your heart?

Or both at once?

I can take them.

You...

However poetic the words are, once said by you...

Never mind. I like it.

♫ Owning this moment of happiness ♫

♫ Go back the way and give you protection ♫

♫ Even if it's destined to have pain ♫

♫ Thank you for being my gift ♫

♫ Happiness filled with twists and turns is blessed by God ♫

Wei Qi, are you okay?

I'm fine. I...

You're not fine. Are you not feeling well?

Tell me how you're feeling.

I just had a bad fall, and I figured something out.

What about your answer?

Thank you, Yuan.

Anything else?

Of course.

I have a gift for you, too.

[Wei's Ancestral Temple]

Wei Qi is taking me to their ancestral temple.

He said something about a gift.

Are we about to pledge to marry without parental consent?

Why are you standing there? Kneel.

Okay.

Dear ancestors,

Wei Qi and Zhou Yuan have been taking care of each other

ever since we met.

Today, I would like to become

sworn siblings with Zhou Yuan. We will be brother and sister

from now on.

We humbly ask the ancestors of the Wei family to be our witnesses.

What?

You're too touched to talk?

Did you say brother and sister?

Yes.

You will be a part of the Wei family from now on,

which gives you a share of Wei's industry.

The gift you were talking about...

is this?

Yes.

If you have anything else you want, you can tell me.

As long as I can make it happen, I will.

Wei Qi.

Are you dumb or are you trying to mess with me?

I asked for your love,

and you swore to be my brother?

I am giving you my love.

Technically,

brotherly love is love.

It's not the same thing.

Don't you see

how I feel about you?

How could you say that?

Becoming sworn siblings?

What did I do wrong in my previous life

that made me meet such a soulless person?

Zhou Yuan.

I...

Who wants to be your sister?

I don't want you as a brother.

I will only be the wife of Wei Qi.

♫ A kiss in a life and the hair between the fingers ♫

I am giving you another chance.

Tell me.

Do you want me to be your sister,

or your wife?

Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan.

♫ I won't regret I've used up my luck ♫

Zhou Yuan.

♫ Wish there is no morning rain in your world ♫

♫ Wish there is no frost in your eyes ♫

♫ I won't regret I've used up my luck ♫

Your Lordship, if I knew you and Miss Zhou

would end up like this,

I never should have told you

that Chuyun Mind Practice can save her.

This is between Yuan and me. It wasn't your fault.

I should be thanking you.

Yuan won't be alive now if not for you.

The reason why Miss Zhou is alive is you.

Your Lordship,

if you didn't use reincarnation

to take the pain and countercharge of her unusual talents from her,

even the best doctor couldn't save her.

So, I don't regret it.

I wish you the best of luck, Your Lordship.

I hope that next time I'm here,

you will be energetic as ever.

Doctor Cui,

I have a favor to ask.

Please.

Cover up my injuries for me.

I don't want my family to know.

As you wish, Your Lordship.

[Divorce Paper]
