A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

Professor Lu.

Yes?

I have something to ask you.

Do you

really like Hsin-yu?

Yes, I really like her.

What's the matter?

Are you serious about her?

I am.

I really like Hsin-yu.

If her past

is not a good one…

Let's say that she's the daughter of a murderer.

Would you mind?

I won't mind.

It's not important who she was in the past.

I like her.

In that case,

I'll tell you Hsin-yu's past then.

Actually, Hsin-yu was married

and she even has a child.

It's just that her husband died a long time ago.

What?

Meng Hsin-yu is…

I see.

I don't mind.

If that's the reason why Hsin-yu is rejecting me,

then I really should talk with her.

She doesn't need to be scared or worried.

I'll take care of her and her child.

Despite all that, you still like her?

What I like is Hsin-yu's heart.

It won't change because of anything.

All right.

Since when did Li En-hsi become so close with Professor?

Yes, she's so annoying.

Why are you so distracted?

Are you waiting for Hsin-yu's call?

No.

Mrs. Wu.

If you keep staring at me, I can't focus on work.

Get back to work.

-Why won't you let me watch you work? -Back to work.

Go ahead.

Fine, I won't look at you.

I found it.

HSIN-YU

Those were lies?

Lower your voice.

Do you want everyone to hear you?

No.

Why did you lie to Professor Lu?

I thought it was true.

I felt pity for Hsin-yu

because she lost her memory and has a child.

Why am I so stupid?

I told you to lower your voice.

You fooled me.

If Hsin-yu has a child, I would have seen them already.

You don't need a reading. You're destined to be alone.

What are you talking about?

If I don't do that, how can I help Professor pursue Hsin-yu?

Help Professor pursue Hsin-yu?

What about Boss?

What do you mean?

Professor is gentle and thoughtful.

Can that uncivilized Chung Cheng-nan compare with him?

You can't say that.

What's good about Boss is that…

Tell me. What's good about him?

Tell me.

Go ahead.

If we're friends, tell me.

Will you help Professor and Hsin-yu?

I…

Fine.

Since we're friends, of course I'll help.

But how will you do that?

Listen to me.

Hsin-yu, I haven't seen you in a while.

Do you want to come over today after work?

Sure.

I'm done, I'll go ahead.

Okay, I'll take you home.

There's no need.

-En-hsi and Ouyang Kai will. -We're going out for a movie.

We are?

That's right.

We're going to watch a movie.

Yes, Hsin-yu.

Let Professor take you home.

But I'm not going home yet.

All right, we're going to be late. The movie is starting. Come on.

Thank you.

Cutie.

Give me a discount.

-Professor Lu. -It's Professor.

Mrs. Wu.

Hsin-yu.

Hsin-yu.

The bread is nice. Do you want some?

-And they're freshly baked. -I'm sorry, excuse me.

Hi, Mrs. Wu.

Who is he?

-He's… -I'm Hsin-yu's friend.

My name is Lu Po-ya.

Mrs. Wu, I'm sorry.

This is our first meeting and I didn't bring you anything.

This is what we'll do.

Everyone,

I'll pay

for your bread.

How generous.

Since you love to pay for bread so much, I'll turn you into Anpanman.

What are you going to do?

You're using magic to pursue a girl?

You even made time stop.

You're pulling tricks.

Who am I?

I'm the Exorcism Lord.

Do I need to resort to tricks?

Then that marker is for…

I just think that he'd look better with eyeliners.

Eyeliners.

You obviously want to know more about him.

Just ask me.

Come on, give me the marker.

What are you going to do?

I'll do it.

That's fine too.

Anpanman.

Lu Po-ya.

Gentle, caring, thoughtful,

doesn't smoke or drink, and is highly intellectual.

Chung Cheng-nan.

Exorcism Lord…

What else?

That's all.

LU PO-YA, CHUNG CHENG-NAN

What do you mean?

He has so many strengths and that's all for me?

Yes, that's all. Okay, I'll go ahead.

Come back.

Why exactly did you come here?

Are you my friend or not?

Don't say that I'm not supporting you.

Wait.

What did you do just now?

It's a secret.

Try this, I made it especially for you.

Goodness.

Why are you still standing there?

She is already here.

Go over there.

Go.

Mrs. Wu.

Okay, no problem.

I'll surely win this.

I don't care, pay me back today!

I died because of debt collectors. How do you want me to pay you?

I'm warning you.

If you don't pay me back, I won't spare you!

Hey.

You're both dead. Why are you arguing?

He owes me money!

I couldn't find him when he was alive. Now that I'm dead, I've found him.

I must make him pay today.

I died because of debt collectors. How do you want me to pay you?

I don't care, you must pay me back!

That's enough.

There's a peaceful way to settle everything.

Calm down first, okay?

I'll be your witness today.

Tell me all your grievances. I'll be the judge.

Tell me.

Alleviating sorrows means calming the mind.

If you're anxious, your soul won't be at peace.

Don't you know that?

Listen.

This is my special blend, soul-calming sorrow-alleviating tea.

I drink this when I'm tired of my job.

I'll be in a much better mood afterward.

My mind would also be clearer,

so I can decide if I should leave my job or stay.

Here.

-Does Lady Meng 1087 -Why did you make this tea?

-want to be a counselor? -If I didn't find…

-It's fine that she counsels spirits. -You're not lying?

-She even counsels her colleagues. -I'm not.

This is a unique blend that I came up with.

Drink it up and have a good sleep afterward.

After you wake up, think carefully and make a decision.

1087, I want one too.

Okay, everyone who sees this today can have one.

Why are you smiling?

So that's how it feels.

What feeling?

Nothing.

When did you notice me?

When I was chatting with the two ghosts

and they suddenly disappeared without saying goodbye,

I knew that you're here.

It's you indeed.

If I'm not scary enough, those ghosts might keep harassing you.

You're right. I stayed out very late before because of them.

One time, it even lasted until morning.

I just went home for a shower then I went to work.

I was exhausted.

So should you thank me then?

Why do I need to thank you?

I didn't ask for your help.

And you've been following me for a while.

If you wanted to help, why didn't you come out sooner?

You know that I've been following you today?

Not just today, right?

What do you mean?

Actually,

every time you appear,

I seem to be able to feel it.

I know that you've been watching me.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Let's go.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I didn't show myself though.

How did you notice me?

I don't know how to describe it either.

It's just

a feeling.

It feels like,

"You're here."

You're very mysterious and you won't tell me who you are.

But despite all that,

I still choose to trust you.

With you by my side,

I feel very at peace.

Then…

shall we go home?

Let's…

go home.

Why is En-hsi out so late?

She's still not home?

She went to the rehabilitation center with her mom. She won't be home tonight.

Tonight, she's the only one here.

Is that safe?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I'm okay.

This won't do.

It's too dangerous.

I should stay with her.

Do you want more?

No.

But…

Well…

I…

I'm hungry.

Seven bowls.

Are you full now?

Yes.

It's late already.

It's past 11 p.m.

Is that so?

Are you doing this intentionally?

What do you mean?

You're intentionally not going home.

Am I?

It seems I drank too much coffee earlier.

Why do I feel so sleepy now?

Why would you feel sleepy after drinking coffee?

That's ridiculous.

You can't sleep here.

Sleep at your home.

But it's raining outside.

I can't leave.

Who says it's raining?

It's really raining.

How is that possible?

Hey, Chung Cheng-nan.

Gosh.

RAFFLESIA

In Thailand,

rafflesia's buds and flowers are considered delicious.

And they can be used as herbs for calming the mind.

Why does this flower look so familiar?

Chung Cheng-nan.

I finally found you.

The weather is a bit cold, so I'm keeping your hand there.

Don't think too much of it.

What are you planning to do?

My phone.

Yes, my phone.

No.

Your phone.

Let's go out tomorrow.

Is it Lu Po-ya?

It's almost dawn.

I should go home.

I'll get going.

Be careful because you're alone.

Well…

Can I see you after work tomorrow?

Sure.

I'll wait for you.

Mrs. Wu.

What's the matter?

It's nothing.

I'll prepare the ingredients for you.

ANXIN NURSING HOME FEE NOTICE THIS MONTH'S DUES: 14,290

Li En-hsi.

You're running away? We're calling for you.

What do you want?

How bold.

You're so fierce and you want to get close to Professor Lu?

Yes.

What's your relationship with Professor Lu? Tell us.

Don't touch me!

How is that any of your business?

Why should I tell you about it?

You stopped me just to ask about my relationship with Professor Lu.

I know.

You two couldn't get close to Professor Lu.

That's why you're harassing me.

Is this fun for you?

-Does it feel good to bully people? -You…

Why are you so upset?

We're just asking.

Yes, don't be too pleased with yourself.

You're not just a scammer, you're even seducing him.

Say that again if you dare!

What are you doing?

Professor Lu!

En-hsi was being mean to us.

Yes, she even wanted to hit me.

When did I do that?

Li En-hsi isn't an unreasonable person.

What exactly happened?

I want the truth.

It's nothing.

It was just a misunderstanding.

Right?

Yes. It was just a misunderstanding.

En-hsi.

I'm sorry.

Do you often get bullied in school?

It's nothing.

I'm used to it.

Don't be scared.

I'm here.

No one will bully you again.

Thank you.

By the way, Professor,

can you not tell Hsin-yu

about what happened at school?

Okay.

I won't.

Thank you, Professor.

Also…

Well…

There's something I must apologize about.

Actually,

Hsin-yu doesn't have a husband or a child.

She just lost her memory.

I'm sorry for lying to you.

Actually, you just want to know how I really feel about Hsin-yu, right?

Thank you for being so nice to Hsin-yu.

Professor.

Are you really not mad at all?

Regardless of what Hsin-yu's past is, I still like her.

Why does my heart feel a bit strange?

Forget it.

No matter what happens, I'll surely help Professor pursue Hsin-yu.

Add a little bit more.

Perfect.

You're so beautiful today.

It's just 5 p.m.

There are about two hours before he gets off from work.

Should I go to him now?

Forget it.

I'll go when it's almost time.

Or I'll seem desperate to see him.

That will be embarrassing.

What should I do then?

I still have almost two hours.

What should I do?

En-hsi?

SEE YOU AT THE COFFEE SHOP AT 6:30 P.M.

I'm here.

Where are you?

I'm inside. Just come in.

En-hsi.

En-hsi.

Po-ya?

Did you see En-hsi?

She asked me to meet her here.

Since you're here, eat with me.

I've known you for a while and I haven't invited you over for dinner yet.

I made these myself.

I don't know if they suit your taste.

This is my favorite tossed noodle.

Is that so?

Aren't you hungry?

Po-ya.

Actually, you don't need to do this.

If you want to say something, just say it.

Hsin-yu.

I really like you.

I hope that I can be with you

every day in the future.

No matter what you'll face in the future,

as long as you're willing,

I'll surely be by your side.

So…

If you don't hate me,

can you try dating me?

Try this.

I'm sorry.

It's not you,

it's me.

I just see you as a friend.

Also,

I like someone else.

I've always known that you like someone else.

It's Mr. Chung from the bakery, right?

My guess is right indeed.

I've always thought that before you tell me yourself,

I'd still stand a chance.

So I mustered up my courage,

hoping that I won't have any regrets.

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

You don't need to apologize.

I feel happy that you're able to find

someone you like so much.

Because…

As long as you're happy,

I'm happy too.

If you truly love someone,

you'd hope that she's happy,

right?

It's good that we cleared things up.

We'll still

remain friends

and I'm still your boss, right?

Of course.

Since I've already made these,

have some before you leave.

But…

I'm meeting someone.

-I'm sorry for delaying your date today. -It's fine.

How did you know that I'm here?

I placed a tracker on you.

As if.

Where is it?

Here.

You're looking for your boss? He went inside.

I'm sorry.

I thought I'd still have some time.

Promise me one thing.

What is it?

No matter what problems you might face, you will only go to me.

Is that okay?

Okay.

I'm sorry.

It's not you,

it's me.

I just see you as a friend.

Professor Lu. Good thing you're here.

I need your help.

What is it? Tell me.

It's about a student in our faculty, Chen Che-hsuan.

What happened to Che-hsuan?

A student told me that he hasn't been going home these days

and kept practicing in the piano room.

But he locked the piano room.

He won't come out no matter how hard I call him.

Since you always talk with him,

can you please help me ask him

and find out what's going on?

Che-hsuan has always worked very hard.

Isn't it normal for him to be in there?

That's right,

but he has been in the piano room for three days already.

Three days?

I really think that something's not right.

Okay, I'll go and take a look.

Thank you, Professor Lu.

Che-hsuan.

Gosh, I wanted to help Professor Lu.

That's why I asked you to go there for him.

Don't be mad anymore.

Look. I'm treating you to dinner, okay?

Fine.

But we've been walking for a while. Where are we going to eat?

At a newly-opened restaurant in school.

Ouyang Kai said that it's quite good.

Professor, what a coincidence.

In that case, do you want to have dinner together?

I'm sorry, I need to do something. Go ahead.

-But… -Po-ya, wait.

I'll go with you.

But…

Sure, let's go together.

What do you need to do?

Well…

Che-hsuan!

Professor, what are you doing?

Why are you placing black vinegar there?

Che-hsuan turned out this way because his home's full of evil energy.

First, I need to remove them first.

Professor.

Chen Che-hsuan is awake.

Are you all right?

-Are you okay? -Che-hsuan.

Are you all right?

Professor.

Why am I at home?

The head of faculty told me that

you kept practicing playing the piano day and night.

I was looking for you in school and saw you fainted.

Day and night?

Why don't I remember that at all?

You don't remember that at all?

Are you alone at home?

Who are you?

It's okay, she's my friend.

Have you been alone at home lately?

I'm alone at home.

Why do I feel something in my heart?

Cheng-nan, what are you doing now?

Po-ya and I encountered something strange.

You told me before that no matter what problems I might face,

I can only go to you.

So…

You're still here?

Hsin-yu said that she'd be worried, so she wanted to wait.

How is Che-hsuan? Is he okay?

Thanks to your calming tea, he's already asleep.

And he's sleeping like a baby.

That's good.

Goodness.

It's already past 1 a.m.

Hsin-yu.

Chen Che-hsuan is already asleep.

Can we go home now?

Okay.

Why did it suddenly become colder?

You…

Che-hsuan's mom?

You can see her too?

I thought the house might be the problem, so I prepared cow's tears beforehand.

What are you talking about?

Don't scare me.

You're scared because you can't see her.

The special magnetic field of cow's tears can change the pH value of human tears.

Rub some on your eyes and you'll see her.

I don't want to.

Who wants to see a ghost?

Hsin-yu.

Don't be scared.

Be careful with your words.

Why isn't my son practicing the piano?

What exactly did you do to him?

Mrs. Chen.

Calm down.

Che-hsuan has been practicing for so many days.

If you really want what's good for him, let him sleep.

Hsin-yu, who are you talking to?

What's good for him?

I'm his mom.

Would I harm him?

You're a ghost, but he's human.

By harassing him this way, his health would only deteriorate.

I don't care!

My son is a piano genius.

He must become famous.

He'll die from fatigue before he becomes famous.

Mind your own business!

Chung Cheng-nan.

How strange.

She died from myocardial infarction.

That's considered a good death.

Why won't she leave the Human Realm?

And why am I sensing such an extreme hostility?

Hsin-yu.

Hsin-yu.

Mom!

Here's another one.

How troublesome.

Hsin-yu.

Will she be okay?

She's fine.

Hsiao-chi.

Take her way.

Yes.

Hsin-yu.

Hsin-yu.

Are you okay?

Hsin-yu, are you all right?

You're injured too.

Go home and rest.

When you apply medicine, add cinnabar and glutinous rice.

I know they can stop the flow of evil energy.

Will Hsin-yu really be fine?

This isn't an injury caused by humans.

It's better for me to take care of her. Go home first.

Help me up.

Come on, I'll take you home.

I'll leave them to you.

Come on, I'll take you home.

You're awake?

Come on, I'll take you home.

Professor.

You really don't feel sad at all?

When…

When you see them together,

don't you feel sad?

If I feel sad just because of that,

it means that I don't wholeheartedly accept her rejection.

Actually,

as long as Hsin-yu is happy,

I'm happy too.

That's why I accept her decisions.

-But they-- -En-hsi.

Sometimes,

love depends on fate too.

Maybe this is what meant to happen for me and Hsin-yu.

If this is God's will,

I can't force it.

Right?

Let's go.

Don't you still have class tomorrow?

Hsin-yu.

Wait!

Go away.

I'm not in the mood to see you.

Buddy, listen.

Once you infuse heavenly aura into her, the Underworld will find her.

Then Old Chin's effort will be in vain. Reconsider it first.

I don't care anymore.

I don't want her to suffer like this.

What's going on?

Didn't you already infuse the heavenly aura?

I've said my piece.

I don't care anymore.

I've been watching you for so long.

We're both in the same place.

We're not that far from each other.

Well…

This is for you.

-For me? -I haven't been sleeping well lately.

This kind of tonic soup isn't suitable for me to drink.

You can have it.

Take it.

I kept thinking of ways for you to see me,

to let you know my strength.

But the love I have for you deep in my heart

doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

Have you

ever really liked me?

You're finally awake.

Does it hurt anywhere?

My lord.

What did you just call me?

My lord.

Drink some water.

Thank you.

Why do you keep staring at me, my lord?

Do you…

really remember everything?

Not exactly.

What do you mean?

I just remember that

I'm Lady Meng, responsible for brewing the Oblivion Soup for souls.

The rest of my memories

are very vague.

It seems like there's still a lot I don't remember.

I got you! Don't let go!

My lord!

Let go.

No, I'll never let go!

Hold on tight!

Let go.

But I'm very sure

that I remember you.

It's okay if you don't remember much,

as long as you remember me.

I didn't expect

that you'd keep a fragment of my ID.

By the way,

did you catch that malicious spirit who took me hostage in the Underworld?

Not yet.

But we know the place where he might appear.

I can't believe that there's a ghost you can't catch.

Where is the place he might appear then?

The bakery.

Why?

That malicious spirit is Wu Ching-yuan.

He is Mrs. Wu's son.

So you're working at the bakery

in order to catch Wu Ching-yuan?

After the Bridge of Oblivion exploded, it's like he disappeared.

Cheng-huang used all of his resources and he still couldn't find him.

That's why

we can only wait for him to come.

Did you recognize me the moment you saw me?

Why didn't you tell me who I was and even hid it from me?

Would you believe me if I told you?

Besides, when you were in the Underworld,

all the resignation letters you submitted were rejected.

I know

that you're tired of working as Lady Meng.

That's why I thought you should enjoy your life as a human now.

Then does this mean that

you've noticed me since we were in the Underworld?

So…

Do you actually like me too?

Who says noticing you means that I like you?

So I was just overthinking it?

I'm the only one who likes you.

You weren't overthinking it.

I've always

liked you.

Really?

It's true.

Since I've remembered that I'm Lady Meng,

should I report to the Underworld?

In terms of responsibility, you must report indeed.

But personally, I hope you can stay in the Human Realm.

Can I?

But Ms. Chin is very strict.

Will she agree?

I'll handle Old Chin.

Besides, I also want to know

why your heavenly aura was sealed when you got to the Human Realm.

But Ms. Chin is…

Don't worry.

Even if Old Chin is playful, she won't mess around with official business.

Based on her personality, there wouldn't be a problem.

You know her that well?

We've known each other for so long. Of course I know her well.

-What the heck? -Come on.

-No need. -Come.

Do you know me?

Of course.

And I also know

about your relationship with Cheng-nan.

Don't mind her. That's not true at all.

She always likes to speak nonsense.

Am I causing trouble?

I'm helping you.

Why are you smiling so happily?

I remembered how I even suspected that you and Ms. Chin might be…

I think that was so funny.

Why are you smiling?

Because you're quite cute when you're jealous.

Who said I was jealous?

You could have taken me home yesterday.

Why did you make me stay at your place?

Because I don't want Lu Po-ya to take care of you.

We're gods.

I was afraid you couldn't handle some aftereffects.

If you stay at my place, I can take care of you.

I see.

If you let go, I'll be mad.

I just wanted to check on your condition.

You seem fine now.

If there are no problems, I'll get going.

Wait.

Based on how you placed the vinegar and exorcised yesterday,

you don't seem like an amateur.

Did you really just learn that by yourself?

Of course not.

I've been interested in these things since I was little.

So I spent a lot of time researching the relationship

between metaphysics and science.

Take a corpse as an example.

Some call it a zombie.

Despite being dead,

why can the nails still grow?

But after scientific analysis,

-you'd realize that it's just-- -Okay.

I believe that you really love science and metaphysics.

But isn't this all too coincidental?

How did you know that you'd encounter a ghost

and you even have cow's tears with you?

Those students are usually very nice.

Their personalities suddenly changed.

I was guessing that they either encountered a ghost or became possessed.

That's why I brought cow's tears to see if my suspicions are right.

Is that so?

Po-ya.

Thank you for last night.

From now on, Cheng-nan will protect me.

You don't need to worry.

All right.

I know what you're thinking.

Since he's human,

we can save a lot of trouble if he doesn't know about me.

Forget about seeing the Exorcism Lord.

That would be good for you.

Mrs. Wu.

You stare at this photo daily.

Who are the people in the photo?

This is my son.

The girl beside me

is my granddaughter.

She's Ching-yuan's only daughter.

So you have a granddaughter.

Why haven't I seen her?

Well…

She's all grown up.

She has lots of things to do,

so she doesn't have time to come here.

I need to check the accounting books.

-Mrs. Wu, morning. -Mrs. Wu…

Boss, good morning. I'm here.

You're so early.

I've already finished all my work for the morning.

It's only 10 a.m.

You're done?

Mrs. Wu.

I'll get going in a while.

All the best.

Why did she say that?

Boss, where are you going?

Somewhere you're not present.

Boss, why are you acting this way?

I can help you.

I'm your friend too.

You dare to say that?

Who was late today?

I don't need your help.

Go help your other friends.

I don't have other…

I do.

Hi, friend.

Look at the guy by the door.

He's so handsome.

Yes, why haven't I seen him before?

Yes, he's really handsome.

IT TURNS OUT THAT BEHIND THE DISREGARD FOR PERSONAL SAFETY

IS THE FEAR OF LOSS.

CHUNG KUEI
