A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

You really like me.

I…

That was a statement.

You don't need to respond.

Why didn't you come to see me for so long?

So

is that a question?

What do you think?

Every time I think of you,

I'll remind myself…

What do you remind yourself?

If you wanted to see me,

you would have come to see me already.

I want to see you.

En-hsi.

I want to see you.

En-hsi.

What's wrong?

En-hsi, what's the matter?

You look very scared.

What exactly is going on?

Save me.

Save me!

En-hsi, what is happening?

Tell me.

I want to see you.

En-hsi!

En-hsi, what's the matter?

I'm coming.

Boss!

-She's dying! Save her! -Ouyang Kai.

What happened?

What the heck is that? Why is there a hand?

He's using this kind of black magic?

A spell was cast on her.

Boss, what spell is that?

Undo it!

What kind of spell is she under?

The malicious spirit aura inside her is becoming denser.

What are you talking about?

I don't understand!

Speak in human terms, okay?

What are you doing?

Even if she was your sister in the past life, she's a human now.

I told you that you can't use heavenly aura to help her.

What?

En-hsi was Boss's sister?

I don't care about that now!

Boss!

Old Man.

You were wounded by your own heavenly aura.

Move!

En-hsi, don't be scared.

Your brother is here. Don't be scared.

This is obviously related to your feud with Lu Chi.

That's why your heavenly aura is useless against it.

You'll just hurt yourself.

Old Man.

Move.

So is she all right now?

You're awake?

Do you feel better?

Ice Face?

Boss.

I'll get En-hsi some water.

En-hsi.

Have a good chat with Boss.

How are you feeling?

En-hsi, don't be scared.

Your brother is here. Don't be scared.

Yesterday,

why did you say that you're my brother?

I…

En-hsi, don't.

I want to see you, En-hsi.

-En-hsi, what's the matter? -I want to see you now.

En-hsi, are you okay?

-I want to see you, En-hsi. -Damn it!

-He's using the Soul-Summoning Spell. -Come here now.

-En-hsi! -I want to see you.

-Whatever he did is none of your business. -I want to see you.

En-hsi!

-En-hsi. -En-hsi!

-I want to see you. -En-hsi, you can't go!

I won't let you go, En-hsi!

Let me go!

En-hsi, don't do it!

En-hsi!

Let me go!

I'll die!

This is obviously related to your feud with Lu Chi.

That's why your heavenly aura is useless against it.

You'll just hurt yourself.

Let me go!

What's going on?

Ouyang Kai, don't go after her.

Boss.

I'm serious.

It's very dangerous.

-But… -Don't worry.

She's my sister.

I'll surely bring her back safely. Let me handle it.

Come here.

I miss you.

I sent you a total of 396 messages

before you came to see me.

You went to see Chung Cheng-nan?

He wanted to use his heavenly aura to undo your spell.

Did he get hurt?

You were hiding from me

because you wanted to betray me, right?

Don't think that a soul purified by a god

can escape my control.

I'll tell you

the price of betraying me.

I can't believe

I'm becoming more and more afraid of him.

You're all unlucky.

How can you argue while discussing things?

You're the unlucky one.

What a bunch of disloyal fellows.

Wait!

If I didn't remember my past,

perhaps

I would still be chatting with my ghost friends now.

What kind of barrier is this?

Even my heavenly power can't break it.

Cheng-nan!

It wasn't that long since I last saw her,

but she looks so haggard now.

Why are you here again?

I'm here to take En-hsi away.

En-hsi?

I didn't see her when I left.

Lu Chi cast a Soul-Summoning Spell on her.

I must take her away.

I told you already.

Don't interfere in our affairs.

Why won't you leave us alone?

Don't use En-hsi to cause trouble between me and Prime Minister Lu.

I won't believe you.

Leave.

It's so hot outside today.

Tonight, let's eat…

What are you doing?

You are just in time.

I can begin then.

Don't do that!

What are you doing?

Why are you doing this to En-hsi?

This is my way of loving En-hsi.

If En-hsi successfully goes to the dark side,

our mission is completed.

Why are you doing this?

Why?

-Why? -Hsiao-ping!

I won't let you close your eyes.

This is a necessary step for us to head towards eternal life.

If you close your eyes,

I'll torture her even more!

I won't close my eyes.

Don't torture her.

Please don't torture her!

Don't do that!

Good girl.

You did very well today.

Just one more step.

Just one more step

and we'll succeed.

En-hsi.

You must miss your mom a lot, right?

It's time to see your mom.

Go.

Chien Cheng-luan's family, please go to the rehabilitation center.

ZHULIN PRIVATE NURSING HOME

It's time to see your mom.

Why did En-hsi come here?

ZHULIN PRIVATE NURSING HOME

NURSING HOME FOR THE PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY DISABLED

En-hsi.

Why did you come here?

My mom is gone.

How did that happen?

Are you okay?

I'll help you carry that.

These were my mom's belongings.

En-hsi.

If you want to cry,

it's okay to cry out loud.

This is his punishment.

"Punishment"?

What does she mean?

LU PO-YA: WERE YOU HAPPY TO SEE YOUR MOM?

Were you happy to see your mom?

These were Chien Cheng-luan's belongings.

She told us to inform you

only after she has been cremated.

POST OFFICE DEPOSIT PASSBOOK OF MS. LI EN-HSI

POST OFFICE DEPOSIT PASSBOOK OF MS. LI EN-HSI

I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH

MY DEAREST EN-HSI,

IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I CALLED YOU LIKE THIS…

What's the matter?

Why aren't you responding to my messages again?

No.

No.

It seems like

you haven't gone to the dark side yet.

Don't be scared.

I'm Po-ya, the one you love the most.

It seems like I can't let you go unchecked anymore.

Starting today,

move in with me.

CAFE SLOW TRAIN

"Closed until further notice"?

How is that possible?

Hello?

Student Affairs Office?

Please check the information on a Mass Communication sophomore

named Li En-hsi.

She withdrew from school?

Who are you looking for?

I'm looking for Li En-hsi who lives here.

Li En-hsi moved out.

I came to collect the rent. She told me that she's moving out.

You're just in time. You're her friend, right?

Take her stuff.

She suddenly moved out

and didn't even pack her stuff.

DEAREST EN-HSI…

These were my mom's belongings.

How can she forget such an important thing?

No, I must tell Boss.

Think about it.

No matter how much of a hurry she was in,

she wouldn't leave her mom's belongings there.

Boss.

Did you hear what I said?

Yes.

You did?

The cafe is closed until further notice.

En-hsi withdrew from school

and she moved out.

If you heard me, why are you reacting this way?

How do you want me to react then?

Hey, you said that En-hsi was your sister in the past life.

You should be very anxious now!

And you should use your heavenly power or something and teleport to find her.

Not all problems

can be solved by gods.

Okay.

If you can't deal with it,

at least think of something.

There's only one thing we can do.

What is it?

Wait.

Did I hear you right?

You told me to wait?

Yes.

Wait for what?

I told you so many things, but you want me to wait?

What kind of fucking god are you?

Other gods are omnipotent.

Why are you so lame?

Are you

serious about En-hsi?

Don't think you can change the topic like that.

What are you doing?

Don't worry.

I just want to tell you

that En-hsi is my sister.

I'm definitely more worried than you are.

But what I said is also true.

If we want to save En-hsi,

all we can do now is wait.

Boss.

What exactly are we waiting for?

The eternal night.

That's enough.

If others find out that a god is drinking away his sorrows,

won't they laugh at you?

I don't care.

I'm not such a great god anyway.

Do you know that today,

Ouyang Kai pointed his fingers at me and told me off,

asking me what kind of fucking god am I?

Tell me.

Am I the lamest god in the World of Gods or what?

That's because he doesn't know you.

Can you hide anything from me?

Tell me.

What is your plan?

Lu Po-ya is Lu Chi.

-Why are you taking them away? -The day Hsin-yu recovered her memories,

she told me everything.

We knew that Lu Chi would surely come to watch us,

so we intentionally let him see us breaking up.

See you guys breaking up?

Lu Chi

is very meticulous.

It would be hard to fool him if we don't do that.

After all,

we don't know what his plan is.

He's gone.

Hsin-yu suggested

for her to go undercover.

Old Man, is that really a good idea?

Of course I didn't agree.

You went to Old Chin?

So

you have recovered all your memories?

It turns out

that I am Hsiao-ping.

He's really Lu Chi.

I'm sorry.

Don't apologize.

Don't let the past torment us in the present.

No matter what happens,

I'm here.

But Hsiao-ping,

what is your plan?

Can you tell me in advance to--

If Lu Chi is doing this because of me,

then I'm the one who should end this.

No.

I can't let you be in danger.

As long as it's about Lu Chi,

don't get involved.

I don't want you to get hurt.

Old Chin is already on house arrest

because of this matter.

We came to this point

to find out Lu Chi's real motive.

He killed so many people.

Once we make a move,

we must eliminate him once and for all.

But I want to help you.

No.

Listen to me, okay?

But what's the use of me objecting?

Once Hsin-yu decides to do something, she'll surely do it.

I can only go along with what she wants in the end.

I think Lady Meng is playing with fire.

After all, she's the key to this trial.

And Lu Chi is deeply obsessed with Lady Meng.

Instead of finding out Lu Chi's real motive,

-she… -Don't worry.

Would Hsiao-ping and I do something we're not sure of?

Everything is under our control.

Fine.

As long as you both have it planned out.

Didn't you plan it out already? What's with that long sigh?

I'm more worried about En-hsi.

Did you know that

she asks me why I called myself her brother?

I almost told her on impulse.

If she finds out that I was her brother in the past life,

perhaps she'll trust me more.

You really deserve to be told off by Ouyang Kai.

Do you know how to talk to people?

If not, scram.

You're mad because I'm right.

When I said you're stupid, you don't believe me.

Are you picking a fight with me now?

We're gods. We can appear in dreams.

As long as she's alive,

we can appear in her dreams no matter where she is.

Right.

I forgot that we can do that.

Scram.

I'm going to sleep now.

Hey.

You're so pragmatic.

Mei'er.

Tonight,

you'll marry into the Du family.

From now on,

someone will take care of you on my behalf.

I can also feel at ease.

However,

the Ghost King, Chung Kuei, can only marry off his sister

in the middle of the night.

I'm sorry about that.

It's fine.

So

Ice Face is my brother?

You finally know.

That can be of help.

That ring is part of a pair.

I gave Hsin-yu one.

I'm giving you the other one now.

That's all I can do to help you.

What happens next depends on your fate.

Don't do that!

En-hsi!

Damn you, Lu Chi.

Don't do that!

Why are you doing this?

Why?

Think of a way

to release the locked-up souls first.

Okay.

Be careful.

You too.

It's late. Why aren't you sleeping yet?

I…

I'm thirsty. I just want some water.

You want to drink water?

Let me tell you something.

En-hsi.

En-hsi is moving in with us.

When did he place these things here?

HSIAO-PING

Hsiao-ping, I know that I've made you feel aggrieved during this period.

But trust me.

This is for our future.

I hope you understand.

He'll surely be mad if I give all of these back.

What can I do now

to make him feel less angry

and make him feel calm?

Understand him?

Here.

Try it.

See if I have become bad at this.

What's the matter?

Why do you keep staring at me?

I remembered

when you first made cold pagoda noodles for me.

You also

handed me the chopsticks back then.

Is that so?

Is it good?

Yes.

Now, I finally feel like

you've really come back to me.

It doesn't matter what reason it is

for you to be willing to make this dish for me.

I'm really happy.

Thank you.

This is the first time

in 1,000 years

that I feel really happy.

He really persisted for 1,000 years

just because of me.

It's so delicious.

I happen to have a gift for you today.

Treat it

as payment for the noodles.

You've already given me gifts this morning.

There's no need to give me more gifts.

This one is different.

You'll surely like it.

This is the jade accessory my mother gave me.

Back then,

I got it back from the pawnshop

to give it to you as your birthday gift.

However,

before your birthday came,

you had already…

Back then, I…

I really had no money at all.

That was why I pawned my late mother's belongings.

I really didn't think

that it can still return to me someday.

Prime Minister Lu.

Thank you.

Thank you very much!

Thank you for your cold pagoda noodles today.

En-hsi.

Very good.

You have enough malicious spirit aura

inside you now.

Do you want to go out?

Come on.

Let me teach you.

Raise your hand.

Draw a talisman.

Gather your energy.

Very good.

This way,

you don't need to be scared anymore.

You can go anywhere you want.

Go.

But let me remind you.

You'd better not go to Chung Cheng-nan.

Because

if he helps you,

he'll be hurting himself.

What exactly is going on?

Let me ask you.

If a member of your family was infused

with a malicious spirit aura,

what would you do?

Old Man.

I know what you want to do.

I don't need to remind you your identity, right?

I also don't need to remind you about your feud with Lu Chi

and your heavenly power will backfire on you, right?

You won't be able to save your sister

and you might hurt your own cultivation instead.

Actually,

it's also good if we can live peacefully

like this.

Are you recalling your days at the prime minister's manor?

Focus when playing Go.

Otherwise, you can't win against me.

I've never won against you.

How can that be?

Back at the prime minister's manor,

you won against me many times.

You intentionally let me win.

Did I?

Prime Minister Lu.

I've always felt like

I don't really know you.

Do you really

want to know me?

What do you want to know then?

You were supposed

to be imprisoned in Ice Hell.

How could you be in the Human Realm for 1,000 years?

You got straight to the point.

You're Hsiao-ping indeed.

Do you remember a man named Chin Hsu

in the prime minister's manor back then?

Not long after I died,

he followed me in death

and went with me to the Underworld.

So you're saying that

Chin Hsu was imprisoned in Ice Hell

on your behalf?

Smart.

I fooled those idiots in the Reincarnation Department

and got reincarnated on Chin Hsu's behalf.

But I didn't drink the Oblivion Soup,

so I was able to keep all my cultivation.

I even turned the Oblivion Soup

into a capsule.

It was the one I made you take.

Take this Oblivion Soup.

Then you can forget everything.

You won't have any more worries.

So that's not the original Oblivion Soup.

No wonder I can remember the past.

So a lot of knowledge is involved in the Oblivion Soup.

Everyone's feelings and obsessions are very different.

So

every Oblivion Soup is one of a kind.

It's customized.

I see.

That thought didn't occur to me.

However,

how did you get Chin Hsu to become your substitute?

It's okay if you don't want to tell me.

However,

I can tell you

another secret.

The place

where you fell in the Human Realm

is the portal toward eternal life.

You're mentioning eternal life again.

What exactly is eternal life? Why won't you tell me?

Don't worry.

You'll find out soon.

Can't we just go on living this way?

Why do we need to pursue eternal life?

Because

for 1,000 years,

that was my only pursuit.

So you've been working at the Reincarnation Department for 3,000 years?

I have no choice.

There was never a vacancy here,

so no one got transferred in.

It must have been hard on you.

It's just that,

to put it bluntly,

you are just a watchdog in the Reincarnation Department.

Right.

This is what we'll do.

I'm understaffed in the Cheng-huang Temple.

I'll transfer you there.

My lord.

Are you serious?

I am.

Based on your skills,

you're overqualified here.

My lord,

what do you want me to do then?

Don't be a stranger.

I consider you my friend.

My lord.

Just be honest with me.

All right then.

I have a favor to ask.

The door of the Data Room

is very tight.

Can you let me in to take a look?

QIN

HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL

"Highly confidential"?

HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL

This should be it.

"On the night of the Nine Star Alignment 1,000 years ago,

a crack in the three realms appeared in the Chang'an suburbs.

Its powerful force could be felt many miles away.

If someone with cultivation makes use of it,

his power can be increased 1,000 times.

Gods, demons, and humans can't easily get near it.

A guide is required.

It's unclear how the guide was cultivated.

Heavenly power can't close this crack.

You can't get into it from the three realms.

And the crack will automatically close after one night.

This is a confidential record in the World of Gods

to prevent the unscrupulous from increasing evil power through it."

HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL

Could it be that Lu Chi knows about this?

En-hsi, listen to me.

It's very unsafe here.

While you're still free to come and go,

get out of here, okay?

En-hsi.

What should I do?

I really don't want to get you involved in this.

What exactly should I do

for you to wake up?

En-hsi.

What's the matter?

En-hsi needs to rest.

Let's not bother her.

En-hsi.

You have an ulterior motive indeed.

Do you think you can wake En-hsi up

by using your friendship?

Hsiao-ping.

You're really underestimating the power of darkness.

Did you really do that because you are concerned about En-hsi?

Why aren't you speaking?

You don't want to explain

or you won't even put on an act in front of me now?

Did you really

just approach me to investigate me?

Why must you misinterpret my action?

I don't care what happens to me.

I just don't want En-hsi to be dragged into all of this.

Is that so?

Whether you're lying or not,

it doesn't matter anymore.

Because

it's almost time.

On the night of the Nine Star Alignment 1,000 years ago,

through the magnetic field produced by the three realms,

I received great power.

I used this power

to place the emperor back then under my spell

and caused your beloved Chung Kuei to die after bumping into a post.

Afterward,

I smoothly led the nation.

But it was a shame

that back then,

I didn't know the real secret behind the Nine Star Alignment.

I waited 1,000 years

for the next Nine Star Alignment.

First, I planned the Bridge of Helplessness explosion

to open the portal toward eternal life in advance.

Next,

I just need to wait for the night of the Nine Star Alignment

and throw the demonized guide into the portal.

Then we can enter the portal

and head toward eternal life.

So En-hsi is the guide,

right?

Hsiao-ping.

I won't miss this opportunity again this time.

I'll surely become the ruler of the three realms.

And be

with you forever.

Did you find any clues?

How did you know that I found something?

If it's not important, don't bother me.

You're kicking me out?

Hey. I've kicked you out, but you even sat down?

You're so thick-skinned.

I've studied the 1,000-page Oracle

so many times.

There's nothing we don't know in there.

I don't get it.

Why exactly did they send out this Oracle?

The Oracle is something

that you would understand only if you are capable.

Did you just buy your position as a god or what?

I know.

Who are you? You're Cheng-huang.

What do you know? Tell me.

Didn't the Oracle say that

the Nine Star Alignment 1,000 years ago created a crack in the three realms?

After all the things that happened,

it proves that Lu Chi knows about this secret in the World of Gods.

So he wants to cause chaos

while there's a crack in the three realms during the Nine Star Alignment.

Are you listening to me?

During the Nine Star Alignment 1,000 years ago,

Lu Chi and I

were drinking in a restaurant

in Chang'an

while waiting for the Nine Star Alignment to come.

It's just that I've had too much to drink later on.

The sun was already out when I woke up.

Lu Chi was also gone.

Afterward, I went to see the emperor at Zichen Hall.

Lu Chi slandered and humiliated me in front of Emperor Dezong,

saying that I don't deserve to be the principal graduate.

I used to consider him my best friend.

I didn't expect

that he was such a ruthless person.

That was why I was so mad

and accidentally killed myself after bumping into a post.

Old Man.

I know that you're very affected by this,

but humans are scarier than ghosts at times.

So what if you were the principal graduate? You'd still die.

Besides, the Tang Dynasty was diminished after that.

Why must you become its official?

And you immediately became a god after you died.

That's much better than being a government official.

Most importantly,

you even met me.

Right?

It seems like when he is casting a spell,

he can't be bothered about anything else.

Crack in the three realms.

Nine Star Alignment.

Hsiao-ping.

Why did you turn on the video?

Won't you get exposed?

Cheng-nan, listen carefully.

I have something very important to tell you.

He wants to open the portal

to the three realms during the Nine Star Alignment.

Then…

Hsiao-ping.

Be careful during the Nine Star Alignment.

Hsiao-ping!

I'm going to bed.

Why are you here?

Is that so?

It has been 1,000 years.

I just wanted you to come back to me.

I didn't expect

that you'd still choose to betray me

-because of him! -What are you doing?

IN THE FACE OF TRIBULATIONS,

THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT THE WORLD IS TO GO THROUGH THE DANGER ALONE.

CHUNG KUEI
