[A Familiar Stranger]

Why can't I ever get rid of you in this life?

Shen Qin.

Stop this misguided insanity.

I'm miguided?

Why do you have to be the one he loves?

Shi Qi!

If he kills me, we'll never swap our faces back.

General, don't kill her.

Are you all right?

Ziheng.

Why are you here?

For her, you actually...

Stop.

She's the real Shen Qin.

That's impossible.

Impossible. Who the hell are you?

Who do you think I am? Haven't you noticed?

We're leaving this place.

I need to look for my sister.

Trying to fool me?

I won't fall for your lies.

Tell me. Say she's the real Shen Qin.

Tell me right now!

Does it matter who's Shen Qin?

Only I...

I stayed by your side. I was the only one.

You're insane.

I am insane.

I went insane because of you.

Sister.

- How is she? - Madam.

She still refuses to eat and hurls things at whoever she sees.

I'll take a look.

Madam, don't go in. She's ferocious.

I'll be fine.

Madam.

For a long time,

I didn't have the courage to look into a basin of water and wash my face.

Mirrors were out of the question.

You...

What do you mean?

I'm not Shen Qin.

Shen Qin swapped my face.

A few months ago, I saw you at Qianying Residence.

At that time, you were lying in the water lifelessly.

I saw the plum flower on your back.

Only my sister has it.

Sister, it's me. I'm Shi Qi. Do you still remember me?

Shi Qi?

Sister, let me wipe your face.

I'm not your sister.

I'm Shen Qin.

The person who swapped my face told me

this face of mine

will never be swapped back.

Back then, I was careless and got separated from my family. I was saved from drowning to death.

When I woke up, my face was swapped.

- But the plum flower on your back... - She imprisoned me in the underground cellar of Qianying Residence

for many, many years.

She personally carved this plum flower into my back.

- Who is she? - Before you appeared,

I had no clue who she was.

After you appeared, I knew right away.

Impossible.

I saw her back. There isn't a plum flower.

To prove that she is me,

she stood before me

and endured unbearable pain

to remove that plum flower.

- Do you want to meet your sister? - Do you want to meet your sister?

You gave this to your sister as a child.

You know best what this is.

On the night of you marriage to Xiao Hansheng, she helped me foolish brother plot against you.

I'm helping you.

Why can't I ever get rid of you in this life?

General, didn't you go to the palace? Why are you here?

I was worried to let you meet her alone.

I found my sister.

What if she isn't your sister?

Perhaps you're mistaken.

Maybe someone swapped her face.

She's the one.

I finally understand the reason she came to me.

The reason she knew so much about my sister and me.

The reason I could never find her

even after drawing so many portraits.

She changed her appearance a long time ago.

If you want to save her, let's do it together. We'll revert everyone's faces.

All right?

Revert our faces?

If harm befalls Prince Ning, her life won't be spared.

All this time, we've been investigating the crown prince's death.

No matter how much we investigated,

the crown prince seemed to have died from croup.

If Prince Ning is willing to explain matters before His Majesty,

His Majesty is benevolent enough to spare his life.

However...

What is it?

Someone has to persuade Prince Ning.

General, Madam.

What's the matter?

A young lady wants to meet Madam.

What are you going to do to Ziheng?

♫ 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 ♫
