[A Familiar Stranger]

How are you going to proof that?

Prince Ning, you should know better than I do. Shen Qin's eye was injured by fireworks.

In the end, it was just a bet. They wanted to know if I was stupid enough to hurt my own eyes.

Do you know? At that time, Ziheng dashed out and protected me.

I don't believe you.

Prince Ning, if you don't believe me, you can test me with a piece of paper.

[Regret] You wrote "Regret".

I have a mole under my right eye. Shen Qin doesn't.

No.

Your Highness, you should care for the real Shen Qin.

No.

General, I'm sorry.

You don't have to explain now.

Rest.

How is she? Is my wife all right?

General, rest assured. Madam is just a little lacking in qi and blood, but she's fine.

I'll prescribe medicine for nourishing the blood.

Sure. Thank you, Imperial Physician Xun.

[Shi Qi]

This is my name. When I woke up, my face was swapped.

She threatened me with my sister's life.

She promised to swap our faces back once Prince Ning's child is born.

What's the reason for your continued secrecy?

You.

All these years, I've been looking for you.

I hoped I could see you again.

But when I met you again, I dared not reveal my identity.

Time passed, and I grew afraid you'll find out I'm not Shen Qin.

I also can't bear leave this place.

I don't want to part with Yuanbao,

the military advisor, Fuling,

and everything in this manor.

I don't want to cause trouble for the General's Manor.

I'll look for Prince Ning right away.

I'll explain everything to him.

Don't leave.

You don't have to worry about Prince Ning.

Also, I forbid you from leaving with our child.

General, how do you know about the child?

That's not all I know.

I even know that your name isn't Shen Qin.

You're Shi Qi, who draws for the government office.

You paint private portraits for the ladies in the brothel.

So, you know everything.

I'm very glad that I didn't marry Shen Qin,

but Shi Qi.

Your Highness, I'm not Shen Qin.

Come here.

Your Highness, stay back.

What are you doing?

Why have you changed so drastically? Are you angry at me or playing hard to get?

♫ Waiting just for another flask of warm wine tonight ♫

♫ Love and hate blurs, blindly sprinting forth ♫

Did you fall in love with him?

♫ Like the first moon, an old acquaintance stops for me ♫

♫ Why does love bring joy and heartache? ♫

Your Highness. Your Highness.

Who are you?

Ziheng, I'm Shen Qin.

Shen Qin?

No.

It's me, Your Highness.

Shen Qin will never return.

She'll never return to my side.

Ziheng, I won't leave you.

No matter what, I'll always stay with you.

- Shi Qi. - Hm?

- Shi Qi. - Yes?

- Shi Qi. - Yeah?

- Shi Qi. - Yes?

Shi Qi. Shi Qi.

General, do you have something to say to me?

You've called me so many times.

I just wanted to say your name a few more times.

Shi Qi. Shi Qi.

Shi Qi. Shi Qi. Shi Qi.

General. General, General.

All right, stop saying General.

That's no different from what others call me.

[Leaves rustle, bidding farewell to the sounds of winter.]

- Isn't this what I wrote? - Mm.

Recite it.

Leaves rustle, bidding farewell to...

the sounds of winter.

Recite it again.

Hansheng.

In the future, call me by this.

"Husband" works too.

Mm.

What's the matter?

I suddenly realized that things aren't over yet.

Prince Ning, Shen Qin, my sister, and the rest...

I know what's on your mind.

You're very concerned about having Shen Qin's face.

If this is the only thing that will get your face back, take this to her.

- That won't do. - Don't worry.

I've held on to this jade pendant for so long.

Yet, I can't prove it belongs to Prince Ning.

I'll figure something else out regarding the crown prince's death. All right?

Dad, Mom.

Come here, Yuanbao.

Hurry over.

Mom, I came to see my younger sister in your belly.

Did she grow bigger?

She's a little slow in growing.

If you stop bothering your mom all the time,

your sister will grow faster.

Mom, can you give birth to my sister in the year of the cat?

I like cats.

There isn't the year of the cat.

When your sister is born, she'll be born in the year of the tiger.

Mm.

General, could it be...

- Are you also thinking about the Chinese zodiac? - Mm.

I know how to prove this belongs to Prince Ning.

I'll head out for a bit.

Come here, Yuanbao.

[Qianying Residence]

I've brought what you wanted. Take me to my sister.

Return my face to me.

You already brought over a fake one last time.

How can I trust this one to be the real one?

Scrutinize this jade pendant carefully.

Even though it's nothing special,

there is a tiger on it. The crown prince values family and friends.

He made one for each of his brothers.

Prince Qu has a horse, while Prince Lian has a monkey. However, this is a customized one.

So what if there are unique zodiac signs?

It just has to be one with Prince Ning's sign

that was gripped in the crown prince's hand. What do you think?

You know quite a lot.

I've already brought it here. Take me to my sister.

She's in the room over there.

♫ Biding the springs and autumns of the world with a big dream ♫

♫ But you still recognize my eyes, after our separation ♫

♫ Endless love and hate remain while dwelling on old grudges, like the shining stars ♫

♫ Taking a stroll with a few people like age-old yearning turns into wine ♫

♫ A face may change easily, but the heart remains unchanging until my hair turns white ♫
