[The Romance of Tiger and Rose]

[Episode 22]

[Xingzi Mansion]

Second Lady, I...

I-I-I am incapable.

Ling Qi all the sudden appeared and saved Chen Qianqian.

Ling Qi is still alive?

Su Ziying was caught and they headed towards Xuanhu City.

You are all useless.

Send some more people over!

Before that reach Xuanhu City, kill Chen Qianqian.

Yes!

Young Lord Pei.

Minister Pei.

You can leave first.

Yes.

City Master already made the announcement to everyone.

To citizen of Huayuan, Young City Master, Chen Qianqian is already dead.

And First Lady's legs are not yet healed.

The only person who can become the City Master is you.

Why you still won't let Qianqian go?

Right now, she has left Huayuan City.

But you can't guarantee mother will be soft-hearted in the future and ask for her to come back.

Just because there is an uncertainty,

you are going to kill the sister that you grow up with.

If City Master found out about this, I can't save you

a second time.

Pei Heng, don't think that because you pleaded in front of Mother

that give you the right to order me around.

I haven't settled all accounts with you about the flower token yet.

When I get Mother's forgiveness

I will become the City Master of Huayuan City.

Don't think about if the City Master will forgive you or not.

And don't forget that the City Guardian Troops always battle along with the Pei House troops.

The position of Military Minister should be given to the heir of Pei House.

Then it depends on whether you can make people obey you.

I do not believe that the position of Military Minister

will be in the hands of a man.

Are you afraid?

I still swear

that I won't let you regret today's decision.

What are you doing?

I just want to keep looking at you.

I feel like your gaze is hiding something.

Thinking of our night in the prison,

I couldn't resist.

Couldn't... couldn't...

It's still broad daylight okay, control yourself!

Now we heading to Xuanhu City and pass by Mount Weimeng,

it also reminds me of that day in the storage room in that inn.

It makes me feel a bit regretful.

T-Then go find Bai Ji for your regret, what are you looking at me for?

[Inn]

Boss, my wine!

- Waiter, serve the wine. - Coming!

Come on.

This way, please.

Say, if the orange and banana gets together

Then what will their kid be? Would it be call, Banarange?

Sirs!

Why are you guys here? I thought I won't be able to see you anymore.

Young City Master, when you left, Young Master Han insisted on bringing us along.

We didn't know why and didn't dare to ask.

Perhaps he's worried that you'll be lonely

so he wanted us to keep you company and to tell you stories to help relieve your boredom.

Congratulations, Young City Master.

Racked your brain and avoided all those dangers.

We finally lived till the ending.

Sit! All thanks for the planning from you three.

I wasn't just luck.

As the saying, "three heads are better than one!"

I'm actually standing on Young City Master and Minister Pei's side.

What do you know?

How much conflict between our Young City Master and Young Master Han you can see,

then there is how much love between them two.

Don't say it like that!

- There's different types of relationship. - That's right!

Who would like someone who wanted to kill them at first?

- That's right! - Who's like Young City Master

reverse the courses of events.

Second Lady was so gentle at first and now she's...

That's "people!" You can't judge a book by its cover. (TN: lit. look at someone only on the outside.

- Do you also think so? - Yes, yes.

Second Lady was forced by Young City Master.

Stop!

So you all already know?

Apple, orange, and banana?

No, how did you guys know?

It's like this! Didn't you want apple and banana to be together?

You want to create a damsel in distress so that banana

was taken to the Academy and was humiliated.

At that time, the apple saved saved it.

And then perfectly on that day you took Young Master Han to the Academy

and forced him to compete using martial arts.

Then us three aren't fools this...

could surely give us some clues, right?

I admire that.

Young City Master,

why do you understand everyone around you so much?

You also know a lot of secrets that outsiders don't know.

For example, where the Dragon Bone is hidden.

Young Master Han has a heart disease.

You always know things before they could even happen.

It's like you guys are in the story and I'm outside it.

That's right. Young City Master could it be...

you're an immortal?

Whatever you say works.

The apple is indeed Chuchu, the orange is me,

and the banana is Young Master Han.

I wrote this story.

Once day, when you enter the script you wrote

you'll be like me.

So Young City Master you were the one who created us?

No.

After I go back to Huayuan City, I will definitely write this all down

about your story and make it last forever!

Customer? Customer?

No, Han Shuo!

Han Shuo! No, Han Shuo! Wait for me.

Han Shuo!

Han Shuo! Han Shuo, stop running.

Han Shuo!

No, let me explain.

It... hurts.

You said you would be good to me forever when we were in the carriage. How long has it been? Are you backing up on your words?

If I didn't hear you guys talking today then how long are you going to hide it from me?

I wanted to slowly tell you when we reached Xuanhu City.

I really didn't hide it from you on purpose.

There's just a lot of things that I can't say since the beginning.

You intently framed me that I hurt Su Mu and sent me into exile.

That's because those who were dead according to my original storyline, like my Mother, Lin Qi and Lu Peng,

they all went coherently as my story, like having a stroke or going missing or dead, and I was afraid that you went the same way as I wrote.

but later Mother woke up and Ling Qi didn't die so I was at ease.

I wanted to explain to you but you hated me during that time.

You didn't want to even talk to me.

Then you were going to push me to Chen Chuchu?

When I realized that I like you, I didn't do that anymore.

- You also used me for having heart disease. - Didn't I steal the Dragon Bone and cure your heart disease?

You invented a secret letter and framed me in front of Chen Chuhu!

Didn't you know this a long time ago?

I...

- Your planned my heart disease as well right? - Didn't I just say that I cured your heart disease?

You did but that's because you planned it.

I'm too lazy to explain to you.

What? You're not mad at me anymore?

I was just... a bit unexpected

but I finally understand now why you kept lying to me.

What I did, even though were on the opposite of what you planned,

Why are you so different

from all the girls I've met since I was young?

I was mad about you had been so heartless

and I couldn't guess how sincere you were.

I don't know what is real or fake

but during this time, I can tell

it's true that you like me. ♫ The moon is hanging high in the sky ♫

This is enough.

Xiao Qian, I finally caught you. ♫ A glimmer of moonlight moves playfully in the darkness ♫

A complete ♫ Your cute looks have stolen my gaze ♫

you that doesn't have any secrets.

♫ A fallen leaf flutters before us ♫

I like you.

I really like you. ♫ Love spreading through the warm wind ♫

♫ Our gaze is more than words can describe ♫

♫ Happiness is not far away ♫

♫ Gazing up at the moon ♫

♫ Our shadows become a pair ♫

♫ I want to fly to the heavenly palace ♫

♫ And join my beloved in passionate moments ♫

♫ The night is long ♫

Then you... ♫ The night is long, But you are by my side ♫

♫ To be in each other’s arms ♫

Are you an immortal or not? ♫ And I hope it is forever ♫

♫ Sweetness is amongst the golden leaves ♫

Give me a prayer and you'll know.

♫ Which fall between us ♫

Wife above, please accept this bow from your husband. ♫ The flowers will bloom and wither ♫

♫ But the moon continues to be full ♫

Why don't we use such a beautiful scenery ♫ Things change over time ♫

to discuss the cause and effect of everything ♫ But only you remain the same ♫

slowly? ♫ Let’s write a timeless poem ♫

♫ That records our beautiful lives ♫

Scriptwriter?

It's like a mister who writes stories.

As for big settings like two different countries with totally different regulations,

as for little things like grass and trees, all created by me.

So who they are, what they're going to do,

and what they're going to go through, I already know all.

So once I came in, I knew that you were going to kill me

so I was able to avoid it.

So,

I'm just someone from a fiction?

That's not true!

Although I thought of them like they were just characters on my paper,

I found out that you all have your own feelings after a while, everyone of you.

This isn't what I created but your true feelings.

- Just like us. - What's your life like?

Is it like Huayuan City or Xuanhu City?

Our world?

In our world, it's not totally decided about which side should be the higher, men or women.

There's times where it's like Huayuan City and sometimes Xuanhu City.

There are always endless arguments about this topic.

Therefore, I wrote this story.

Could it be that a scriptwriter also created your world?

That's possible!

Real or fake, who knows?

The scriptwriters from your world,

are they all cute like you?

Not only cute but also talented.

When ever scriptwriter creates their story, they'll always focus and be thoughtful.

Even though there's flaws sometimes,

sometimes over-dramatic,

sometimes just give up, and sometimes have cliché parts,

they love every character in their story.

There's times that they'll date with the characters.

Then did you date with Pei Heng before?

This is different.

You're the male lead.

The male lead belongs to the female lead.

The second male lead belongs to everyone.

- Does Pei Heng know about this? - Of course, he doesn't.

You're not allowed to tell him.

I can only know about this.

What's the ending of this story?

The ending?

Originally, it was Chuchu who became the City Master.

Then the sun and moon shares the same shine and door of heaven opens at that time.

I slept when I wrote up to here and then ended up here

So my guess is that when the sun and moon shares the same shine and door of heaven opens,

then I can go back.

Are you afraid that I'll leave?

Of course, not!

I'll return to Xuanhu City when you go back.

Later, I'll marry 300 consorts.

I'll change one everyday.

I wouldn't have time to think of you.

But there's 365 days in a year.

What about the other 65 days?

The rest of the 65 days?

Don't bother abut me!

You're about to leave so why are you bothering about it?

♫ I look at paintings distorted by time ♫

♫ When I turn you are there waiting ♫

Then the rest of the 65 days ♫ You are silently fulfilling ♫

leave it for me okay? ♫ the our childhood promises ♫

♫ You are silently fulfilling the our childhood promises ♫

Qianqian, you... ♫ It's you that causes snow-capped mountains to melt ♫

♫ It's you that causes snow-capped mountains to melt ♫

♫ You've paved a route for me ♫

You're willing to stay?

♫ So I can become the innocent one from my dreams again ♫

I swear that I was talking nonsense just then.

As long as you're by my side, I don't want anyone else.

♫ I pick up an old guitar and wander through the sands of time ♫

♫ Can I still talk drunkenly and casually with you? ♫

♫ The elegant time reflected in red candles ♫

[Sun Tzu: The Art of War]

Counting the days, they should reach Xuanhu City by now.

Second Lady, do you think Chen Qianqian reached Xuanhu City

and borrow men to attack us?

Willful as Chen Qianqian is,

she does everything under protection and tolerance of my mother.

She went to Xuanhu City where men are in power.

How on earth can she ever do anything as she wants?

[Xuanhu City]

Is that Young Master who is holding the horse?

Young Master, is holding the horse for Chen Qianqian?

- Is this good? - We're a couple.

How we were in Huayuan City will be the same in Xuanhu City.

Welcome, Young Master!

Young Master, City Master and Madam

wants you to follow me and enter as soon as possible.

City Master has been waiting.

I'll go back to the manor and let you meet my parents.

The people at Xuanhu City are so enthusiastic.

Look at who they're enthusiastic for.

Young Master!

I had heart disease back then so I didn't have situation like this.

Of course, there won't be anymore in the future.

Little sister, where is Han Shuo?

Young Master went to go give his greetings to City Master and Madam.

Please wait in the back garden with other family members, Miss.

Who did you call Miss?

This is the Third Princess of Huayuan City, the honorable Young City Master

She was.

- Say it again! - Forget it! We already came.

Stop right there, Mister.

Women and men are different here in Xuanhu City.

This back garden is the place for family ladies to gather around and wait for their men.

Any other men who want to get in will have to castrated first.

Forget it! I'll go in myself. Wait here!

Xiao Qian, what are you nervous for?

You were like a fish in the water back in Huayuan City.

How come you are like a fish out of water when you are in Xuanhu City?

Life is just like a drama, fully depends on acting skills.

I can do it.

City Madam has arrived!

Lin Qi!

Lin Qi!

In Xuanhu City, men are in charge

so women here are more

quiet and refined...makes sense!

Sit down!

- Start. - City Madam,

this is the woman that Young Master Han brought back from Huayuan City, Chen Qianqian.

Hello, Madam. I am Han Shuo's wife.

You're Qianqian?

Yes.

Eat first.

In Xuanhu City, a woman must wait on her parents-in-law after getting married.

Now the City Master's wife is eating, you should go wait on her lady.

"Filial duty is the first virtue of all kind." Makes sense! (TN: A famous Chinese saying from Fireside Chats at Night, Qing Dynasty)

Is Young Master not leaving this time after coming back?

I've heard that he has been cured from his heart disease!

He shouldn't have to marry into Huayuan City like before.

It's all lies from the start.

A man of men, why would he marry and move to another city?

I heard women are in charge at Huayuan City. That wouldn't do!

I heard Chen Qianqian is the Third Princess.

And the Third Princess is always said to have a pretty bad reputation.

Unreasonable, absurd, and

totally illiterate, as I heard!

So many rumors!

What should I do if Han Shuo's mother misunderstands me?

Madam.

Aren't you smart?

I'm quite an expert at eating.

Okay, talk about what you usually like to do.

Actually nothing much, just like, reading and writing poetries; and

I usually handle affairs for my mother.

Sometimes have a chat with my sisters, and talk about literature and music,

When I'm in the mood, I go hunting,

and when I feel tired, I go play chess with my husband.

When I go shopping, I help the old and disabled;

when my people are in trouble, I lead troops to clear the bandits right away!

I do all the efforts I can to be a perfect Young City Master.

Are you shameless or what?

That's right! The citizens really love Third Princess at Huayuan City.

Too much learning does not become a virtuous woman.

The most to be avoided here for a woman is being restless!

You call that restless?

Is there something even more overboard?

She used to go to the Academy for entertainment like what, eight times a day!

This...

Oh... it's not what you guys think.

My family opens it.

- It's pretty conservative! - Can you stop talking?

You've worked hard! Is your heart disease cured?

Replying to Father, it's fully cured.

That's good!

In Huayuan City, other than curing your heart disease, what else did you do?

Get rid of heir of Huayuan City, Chen Qianqian.

Assassinate the City Master of Huayuan City and take control of Huayuan.

Collect the Black-Stone-Mine into Xuanhu's place.

All the plans you made when you left,

you haven't accomplished a single one.

As your father, I will not give you a hard time.

You didn't kill Chen Qianqian; didn't kill City Master of Huayuan City; didn't kill the citizen of Huayuan City.

I can understand all of these and will agree with your decision.

I just want to ask you one thing, what about the Black Stone Mine?

- My dear lady what on earth are you doing now? - Go back to Huayuan City.

We can't go back! Second Lady is waiting to kill you.

I know! This decision was made after I think through everything.

If the living condition on both side are rough, why would I

not chose the place that makes me more happy？Isn't that right?

What do you mean more happy? What strong nerves you have!

Do you not want your life anymore?

Do you think I'll have a life if I stay here?

If Young Master's wife wants to go back to your own family, you will need to transcribe the whole book "Woman's virtue" for hundreds of times.

You can only go back if you learn the rules.

I... it's too hard for me.

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

Your Xuanhu City didn't make it easy for our Young City Master.

She is even told to obey things like "Three things to obey","Four kinds of virtues" and "Seven casting-out" rules!

Once she breaks one of them, you will divorce her, and she has to copy those things 100 times.

- There's something like this? - The rules are usually like this.

How come Young City Master's Young Madam can't follow them?

Listen clearly?

I'll copy them.

Whoever does not obey the parents shall be abandoned, whoever does not give birth to a girl shall be aban--

No, it should be "whoever does not give birth to a boy shall be abandoned" in Xuanhu City.

You all may leave. It's enough with me being here.

Young City Master please assist Young Master.

What are you doing?

In Xuanhu City, people take man as honor.

- This isn't appropriate. - That's right.

But in my heart, my wife is the honor.

How is it? Is the temperature fine?

What are you doing? They already left, why aren't you letting go?

I let you suffer.

Are you upset?

You're too good.

Then are you still going back to your hometown?

I'm not going back.

I don't want to leave you behind.

You didn't complete anything when you went to Huayuan City.

You also brought a burden like me back here.

Didn't I put you in a hard position?

Isn't it just Xuanhu City?

Well just like a big tiger...

I was said to have thorns!

Yes, you're the best.

Young City Master and Madam.

How is it going with Young Master?

Young Master... over at Young Master...

Say it!

Young Master is washing the women's feet who's from Huayuan City.

How ridiculous!

Being a man of the men, how can he humble himself before a woman

and also washing her feet?

Is it hot?

It's not hot. It's not hot.

Second Lady.

Second Lady, please go back.

City Master is resting right now.

Come back tomorrow.

Since my Mother's health is not in a good condition, she should definitely rest more.

I'll come everyday to ask about her.

I hope she'll recover soon.

You're so filial Second Lady.

Go to the barracks.

My Lady, Young Lord Pei has officially taken the position as Military Minister.

We...

Let me go to meet up with Minister Pei.

Military Minister, what should we do about prisons of war from Xuanhu City.

Kill them!

Second Lady.

Second Lady, now that you are not in any position of the military department,

you barged into the military territory so you should be punished by the military rules.

I'm afraid that you don't have any experience

so I came to help you.

People of Xuanhu are treacherous and cunning,

and always think of our black-stone mine and Black Water Mine;

of course, we must eradicate the source of our trouble.

Then I have a question to you.

Between a person who betrays a trust and a person who has always been loyal,

- what type of people deserves to die more? - What do you mean?

The only difference between us and Xuanhu City is our political position.

They're just attacking based on orders so they don't deserve to die.

I will arrange them to the mines

and you made such a huge mistake,

yet City Master was forgiving and gave you a chance.

Why can't you give them a chance to live?

How on earth can you ever understand what confrontation is, as merely a man?!

Xuanhu and Huayuan City always had a relationship where one lives and the other dies.

Being soft on your enemies is being cruel to yourself.

It's like letting a tiger go back to the forest if you let them go.

They'll take your life someday.

I'm the General right now, I have the right on how I want to handle them.

Then I have to ask

are you even convincing among soldiers?

The past General Pei once said,

"War sees fierceness as a virtue and looking for peace as a shame."

Do you hear that?

This is how a General should look like.

And the second half of her General's word is

that only the true hero

will maintain his or her calm and rationality, making war into peace.

Young Lord Pei is kind and merciful,

very much alike as the past General Pei.

I'm willing to listen to General Pei.

Books on sale! Newly published!

The Rumored Third Princess.

Boss, do you have any books that talk about the Third Princess and Minister Pei?

I do! All of them. There's also Second Lady and Third Princess

about how the sisters finally go against each other, all the inside story!

It's a pity that Second Lady won! I still prefer Third Princess.

True! Speaking of being friendly and righteous,

that surely is our Third Princess...

Be quiet!

Why are you guys looking for me today?

We want to learn some skills about your art of Yufu! (T/N: Yufu: Yu = control, Fu = husband, means to charm and dominate the husband in the relationship, like how Daenerys gets along with Drogon)

Everyone in the city knows about how the Young Master wash your feet.

As a woman, you know, though we talk about all the women virtues... but he washes your feet. Who doesn't want that?

And who doesn't want our husbands to be obedient in all things to us?

I’d say, the life of our Young Master's wife is a true way of life.

Young Master is just so obedient to you.

I envy you! I hope that Young City Master can teach us

and I will definitely repay your favor when I find a husband in the future.

We've talked too much.

What is the so-called art of Yufu?

Making your husbands listen to you and obey you without questioning?

No. That's not the real “equal”.

The art of Yufu that you want to learn today

is actually the art of Yuji. (TN: Yu = control, Ji = oneself. Yuji = control your own life)

Yuji?!

As a person...

You have to learn to be your true self.

Make fortune for yourself and make fortune for your husbands.

That way he'll learn how to cherish and respect you.

When you love someone

it's never about to rely on him or wait on him with your own wishful thinking.

You have to live as yourself and assist him then he'll give you things that you want.

Couples get along with each other, no matter as a man or a woman,

one always needs to make his or herself a better person.

Let the other person know that you're valuable

then naturally he won't be able to leave you.

Make sense!

Make sense.

Who's going to believe it? That I almost become an expert of relationships...

If I ever had the chance to tell that to the super star Han in my reality,

who would believe it?

I understand now! Frankly speaking, we should just keep them in suspense!

You have to learn how to get angry.

When it comes to taking credits, never act too polite.

-Act spoiled, shed tears, and all the works. -And make them afraid of you!

- That's right! - That's right!

No, it's not right! What are you talking about? That's not right.

That isn't what I meant. Let's start back from the beginning!

Rip your papers.

Start!

Not sure what happen to my wife lately,

nose is not a nose and an eye is not an eye.

Try to find a fault in everything.

Not sure who provoked her, she wants to seek a job outside,

making the house not peaceful.

It's the same in my household.

She keeps creating a ruckus saying she want to go back to her hometown and learn about Huayuan City.

If I don't let her wash my feet then she won't come back.

Come on, Shuo'er! We haven't drank together in a long time.

We must not leave until we are drunk. (TN: idiom for having a good time.)

Here!

Qianqian, I heard from Shuo'er you participate in political discussions at Huayuan City

and has great accomplishments.

Why don't you talk about how your should solve your Uncles' troubles.

Who is charge of the chores at home?

- My wife. - My wife.

Who raises the children?

- My wife. - My wife.

Who takes care of the parents?

- My wife. - My wife.

Then have you thought that your wife is like a servant serving you?

Like a nanny who takes care of kids or like a housekeeper who helps your parents?

It looks like they are full of leisure time, not having to go out and work,

but they're actually doing work for three people.

then uncles sitting here today, have you ever said

"Thank you" or "You've worked hard."

"What should I do without you" to your wife?

This...

We have not said this kind of thing to our housekeeper, cook, and servant.

Then what you mean is

your wife is the same as your housekeeper, cook and servant?

Ridiculous! This is sophistry.

Young Master even washed her feet.

Women can only do stuff like this.

What can they do other than this?

That's wrong! They can take care of the chores at home

but they can take care of issues outside just like men.

How bold you are!

Then let me test you. Revenue Minister has taken the census

and noticed the population has been decreasing.

- and realize the cause was— - It is because marriage issues, isn't it?

Women have started to divorce and gotten remarried, and some even never gotten married.

As a result, the birth rate has decreased; thus, number of young men also decreased.

Then do you all know why it's like this?

Men in Xuanhu City mostly regard themselves as infallible.

They don't ask other people's preference and just make decisions on their own.

Frankly speaking, that's male chauvinism.

You have to listen to them regardless of what they do and say.

Who would like a man like this?

In my opinion, it's all just you women want to stir up a chaos!

Xuanhu men like we are, all noble in appearance, who wouldn't like us?

I say from now on, all those who are over 16 years old must get married, otherwise pay a fine.

Fine? Tax of being single?

You can't solve the problem like that.

If tax is not enough then, just put them into jail.

Absurd! Based on the situation right now,

it's clearly a man's problem.

If you don't think about changing your problems

and instead blame all the faults on women? Absurd!

Then what should we do?

If you can't think of it then forget it.

Stop wasting everyone's time.

Open intermarriage between Xuanhu city and Huayuan city.

Huayuan City view woman as honorable; whereas, Xuanhu City regards man as honorable.

Ever since the dawn of time, the two cities were irreconcilable, how can marriage be allowed between the two cities?

Our two cities are in a stalemate and people of the two cities have been influenced.

In the end, it's a matter of culture difference.

Take "Tiger" as an example.

In Xuanhu city, it means "mighty and powerful".

But when it comes to Huayuan City, the word means actually "inflexible," "dumb," and "reckless."

What did you say just then?

But in recent years it also starts to mean, "cute"...

Internally, we solve the reduction of population.

Externally, we solve the problem of the misunderstanding between two cities out of our culture difference.

And we exchange our resources; thus, makes our people live a better life,

and our cities becomes more prosperous. How is it?

We wouldn't dare to marry women from Huayuan City.

But your wife, daughter, and sisters, all want to marry men from Huayuan City.

We have the sweet type boys,

the brave type boys,

the gentle type boys,

and ...uh, full of muscles but lack of wisdom type boy

Every kind of boys we have them all.

Sisters, do you want to marry them?

As the saying goes, if you let the woman control the power, then your family and your country is doomed.

Women should concentrate on the household business.

Let's stop here today!

Father, I think what Xiao Qian said makes sense.

You dare to speak up?

I told you to bring the mines back and what did you bring back?

Is she a mine?

Is she combustible or what?

I-I'm not.

[City Master's Mansion]

Second Lady.

Please leave your arms under my care.

These people do not look like the city guardians as usual.

I heard that the City Master has strengthened the city defense situation

and she selected these guards all by herself.

Is Mother going to put her guard against me forever?

Second Lady,

the City Master finally wants to see you today,

you should really be cautious and make sure she forgive you.

I know this.

Mother.

- Explain yourself. - Mother, I don't even know this person.

He already admitted everything.

What else do you want to say?

Please forgive me for being reckless once!

Once?

You beast!

You actually really did such a cruel thing!

Do you even know that Qianqian faked her death and left me forever,

just to give the position to you!

For me again?

Everything she did was right, was for loyalty and justice.

But as for me, am I a person who's just evil and greedy, and doing all kinds of bad things in the world?!

Are you not?

You once taught me that if I am a person of great ambition, I should abandon all emotions of mine

so that I can do something great.

I just didn't want you to be bogged down by emotions.

I didn't let you harm your own family members.

Chen Qianqian didn't die.

She went to Xuanhu City.

Then I have to thank you for sparing Qianqian.

I really didn't expect

that I raised you like my biological daughter at that time.

Now, you want to kill my daughter?

Am I not your daughter then?

The past General Pei and I are great friends, even more like sisters.

When she sacrificed her life for our city,

and I thought that you were too young to live by your own,

so I brought you to the City Master's Mansion and gave out an order to make sure no one knows about this.

I never thought that I actually brought up an ambitious wolf like you.

You sent people to assassinate Qianqian

because you're afraid that she'll steal your position as the City Master

but do you know that I was ready to announce for you as the City Master now

or being my successor.

The whole Huayuan City is yours

but look at you now.

Your virtues cannot even compare with your position now.

The common people in the city

or the soldiers of city guardian troops,

none of them are willing to be your people.

Will you be able to sit on this position?

What are you going to use to persuade me and leave Huayuan City in your hands?

Do you dare to say you are not letting the past General Pei down?

♫ I feel the changes in life ♫

♫ No time has been lost ♫

♫ Things evolve against my wishes ♫

♫ It’s for nothing. I can’t read your mind ♫

♫ Honor is a burden ♫

♫ Longing eventually disappears ♫

♫ Leaving people withered and unrepentant ♫

♫ Rumors spread behind my back ♫

♫ They spur the horse to gallop. But fate cannot be escaped ♫

♫ How long can characters in a story control themselves ♫

♫ Even if far apart, we will end up together ♫
