Episode 30

Lord, I've increased the dosage of Jiayin Pills

according to your instructions.

Good.

Miss Hua has been in a coma for 26 months.

At this rate

we will run out of Jiayin Pills soon.

It's all right.

I will continue to make them.

But blood amber is hard to find

and the raw materials are running low.

Put up a notice to buy blood amber

at double the price.

I finally found her.

I will never give her up no matter what.

Two years ago

- Men! - What are you doing?

Tie her to the pole outside

so that people who pass by

will see the consequence of defectors.

Stop!

How dare you! Who are you?

Qian!

Qian!

Qian!

Who did this?

Who did this?

Lord, it's better to take Miss Hua to a physician

as soon as possible.

She's an outcast. How dare you...

Our Lord requested a letter of pardon.

Hua Qian is no longer a prisoner

under your jurisdiction.

And we'll deal with you later

for unlawful torturing and killing of prisoners

under your jurisdiction!

If you have a second chance in life

will you do anything differently?

I...

will.

I want to do things differently.

I want to start over.

I want to do things differently.

I want to start over.

I want to do things differently.

Qian.

- I want to do things differently. - Qian!

I want to start over!

She's fine.

But she seems to be having a bad dream.

Rest assured, Lord.

Jiayin Pill is good for calming the mind.

It seems the medicine is working.

According to recovered patients

they were able to hear sounds

while in a coma.

Lord, you may talk to her more often.

It will help with her recovery.

I want to do things differently.

I want to start over.

Qian.

- I want to do things differently. - It's me.

- I want to start over. - Zhong Xiwu.

I want to do things differently.

- I want to start over. - Qian.

It would be great if I had reached you sooner.

Jiayin Pills can cure physical ailments

but it can't do much for mental illnesses.

Lord...

Qian!

You're awake.

I thought you left.

Why are you here in my house again?

Where is Hua Rongzhou?

Hua Rongzhou? Who is he?

What's wrong with me?

Why do I feel lightheaded

and weak all over?

Miss Hua, you've been in a coma for a long time.

You're experiencing some discomfort

upon waking.

In a coma?

Yes, you should rest.

I'll get someone to prepare food for you

to help you recover strength.

Why was he in a hurry to leave?

Didn't I fall asleep on the swing

while reading the storybook?

What's going on?

Allow me to make a bold prognosis.

I'm guessing she's in a confused state

after being in a coma for a long time.

Or she might be suffering

from temporary amnesia.

In my opinion

since Miss Hua is still very weak

we'd better go along with whatever she says

so as not to cause her distress.

Lord, Master is here.

This is odd.

Why am I so hungry all of a sudden?

Why do I feel that

something is wrong somehow?

Isn't this aroma the one I often smell?

What kind of incense is this?

What brings you here?

I passed by when transporting goods

so I came to pay you a visit.

Business comes first.

You don't have to make time to come to see me.

You have stayed here for more than two years.

When do you plan on returning to Huangcheng?

The butlers in Huangcheng

submit reports to me every month

so it's fine that I don't return.

What about Mistress?

She's all alone in Huangcheng.

Why exactly are you here?

I know that you may still be angry with Mistress

because she ordered Magistrate Wang

to send the rest of the Hua family into exile.

But they deserved it.

It has been more than two years now.

And Mistress also said that

as long as you fulfil your duty as a lord

she will not interfere with your affairs.

I see that you're here to convince me.

On our way here

we heard that Hua Qian had woken up.

You should return to Huangcheng with her.

I don't think Mistress will stop you this time.

"We"?

Yao is with me. She went to see Hua Qian.

You have a good appetite.

Why are you here too?

I came to see if you were dead.

Sorry to disappoint you.

I'm alive and well.

Kind people have short lifespans

while evildoers often live much longer.

I admire you for being so calm.

If you're here to mock me

please leave. I won't see you out.

That's right.

A selfish and cold-blooded person like you

won't care about your loved ones.

I thought after losing loved ones

you would be as miserable as I used to be.

Isn't your father alive and well?

His name has been cleared.

He should return home

and assume the position of Head Butler.

Return home?

Return home from the netherworld?

Do you mean...

your father has passed away?

Drop your pretence.

My father hanged himself in prison

to prove his innocence.

Are you saying you have forgotten that?

What...

What about my father?

Your father...

Your father deserved to be beheaded.

What about my mother?

What games are you playing now?

Didn't your mother and brother get killed

when you tried to defect two years ago?

Impossible...!

Am I dreaming?

- Impossible! - Qian!

Didn't you just tell me that

you faked my parents' death

and sent them out of the city?

You won't lie to me.

Am I right?

Right. I won't lie to you.

Don't get worked up. Sit down and we'll talk.

Do you remember my maid Qianzhi?

How is she?

- Qian... - Shut up!

I want her to tell me.

On the day you were arrested

she was beaten to death by soldiers.

Qian, you have been in a coma for a long time

so you're a little confused.

You'll be fine after some rest.

In a coma?

I...

How long have I been in a coma?

26 months.

Impossible!

I have never been...

I have never been in a coma for so long.

I was sure I went back in time

and changed the course of events.

Impossible!

Right.

There's Hua Rongzhou.

Hua Rongzhou.

Hua Rongzhou.

Master, do you remember Hua Rongzhou?

You recruited him into Zhong Residence.

You told Nanfeng to teach him martial arts.

You remember him, don't you?

Do you remember him?

There is no such person in Zhong Residence.

No way!

No way!

Hua Rongzhou is my guard.

Qianzhi is still alive.

My father and my mother are still alive.

I went back in time and changed everything!

Qian, please calm down.

You were overwhelmed by grief

and went into a coma for a long time.

So I lit some Jiayin Pills in your room.

Jiayin Pills have a calming effect.

I don't know what you're talking

but you might have been in a coma for so long

that you mixed up your dream and reality.

Dream?

Are you telling me that

everything I had been through

was a dream?

It can't be true...!

I went back in time and changed the past.

Everyone is alive!

If we could change past events

there wouldn't be innocent people

who died in vain.

Shut up!

Qian.

It's all right.

The past is in the past.

It's all over now.

We can start all over

and make up for past regrets together.

Isn't this aroma the one I often smell?

What's in the incense burner?

It's the bergamot incense you use every day.

What's that smell?

Has the bergamot incense gone bad?

Why is there a strange scent?

The scent in the carriage

is making me a little dizzy

so I didn't hear you.

No incense was lit in the carriage.

No incense?

Why do I keep smelling the scent of incense?

The scent of the incense candle in the lantern

smells very familiar.

It seems to be providing me

with some pain relief.

You were overwhelmed by grief

and went into a coma for a long time.

So I lit Jiayin Pills in your room.

They have a calming effect.

This is odd.

I don't have any incense in the room.

Why do I keep smelling a familiar scent?

What incense are you using on your clothes?

It smells so familiar.

I don't have the mood

to use incense at a time like this.

What kind of incense do you wear?

Why does it smell so familiar?

I'm not wearing any incense.

Did you smell something familiar?

Miss, you haven't been using any incense

so you don't have any scent on you.

It's the scent on your body, Miss.

You have this scent on you

ever since the first time I met you, Miss.

Jiayin Pills...

I see.

Start all over?

You said...

we could start all over?

Do you know what it means to me

when you said "start all over"?

If that was a dream

and this is reality

that means I have...

I have been through all the events

three times.

I've experienced...

my family's death three times.

Qian.

Qian.

Although what happened in the dream is not real

Qian...

I'm here!

It's not real?

It's not real?

If...

nothing is real

I'd rather stay in the dream

and never wake up.

At least my parents are alive in the dream

and someone is waiting for me.

Qian!

Qian!

Qian!

Qian!

I'm here.

I'm here.

What's wrong?

Does it hurt?

Yes.

You are real. I knew it.

I had a bad dream just now.

It was so scary.

Rest assured. I'm here.

Yes. This is the reality.

This is the reality.

This is the reality.

This is the reality.

How is she? She just came to.

Why is she in a coma again?

Generally, she's fine.

Then, why is she still in a coma?

Simply put

she's suffering from trauma.

As I said earlier

Jiayin Pills can cure physical ailments

but they can't do much for mental illnesses.

She chose not to wake up.

So, no medicine is going to work.

You had woken up once

so you can surely wake up again.

Is...

Is there anything I can do to help?

Zhong Yelan.

Take your wife with you and leave immediately.

If you dare come here again

don't blame me for being rude.

My apologies.

Let's go.

The physician said she chose not to wake up.

There's nothing much we can do.

Was I out of line telling her all that?

You told her the truth.

If she didn't hear it from you

she would hear it from someone else later on.

Lord.

I'll go out and look for blood amber.

Qian.

Qian.

Senior.

Can you help me?

What can I do to help?

Qian...

likes you.

Can you wake her up for me?

Qian.

I'm here to take you back to Zhong Residence.

Qian.

I'm here to take you back to Zhong Residence.

Qian!

I've been calling her for two hours

like you wanted me to.

It doesn't seem to work.

May I try?

Hua Qian.

If you don't want to wake up

because of what I said that day

let me apologise to you.

The conflicts between you and me

have gone on for so many years.

We should put it to an end.

Let bygones be bygones.

I have moved on

and I hope you can do the same.

Living in the past

will only make you feel miserable.

Hua Qian.

We are...

even now.

Although I don't know what Hua Qian

had experienced in her dream

I heard her saying

that her life was not worth living.

So, if you want her to wake up

you have to give her a reason to live.

She felt there was no purpose in living

based on her past.

Give her something to look forward to

she might very well wake up.

I don't know what happened in your dream

that made you feel that

you had no reason to live.

Over here, someone is waiting for you too.

I've been waiting for you all along.

You woke up only for a brief moment.

I have a lot to say to you.

For example, I haven't told you that I like you.

I liked you even before

you fell in love with my senior.

Hua Qian is an abandoned woman.

Plus, the Hua family has committed a crime.

There's no way I'll let you marry her.

I dwelled on it too much in the past

and my senior married her instead.

I can't make the same mistake twice.

You are Lord of the Zhong family!

How can you be so wilful?

What would the people

think of the Zhong family?

If I can prove that I can handle

all the matters of the Zhong family well

can you promise me to stop putting pressure

on Magistrate Wang?

If I can convince everyone in the Zhong family

to come to terms with me marrying Hua Qian

you shall not stop me, Mother.

Senior, you have many talents in your house.

It's amazing that even a maid can play so well.

Lord, you're flattering me.

Her skills are mediocre.

Senior, since you think she's an average player

why don't you give her to me?

My mother loves music.

I'll let her serve my mother

so she can relieve her boredom.

Lord.

This cloud silk brocade was sent from the south.

It is said that only one piece was produced.

Such a piece of good cloth

is impossible to find in Huangcheng.

Ask Lin Jiang to come over.

Yes, Lord.

Lord.

The cloud silk brocade has been sent to the

textile shop that Young Master Hua frequents.

And he bought it with a lot of money.

Good.

Unlike Yelan

you are Lord of the Zhong family.

Bear in mind not to be soft-hearted.

You shouldn't be distracted

by those little tricks.

Mother.

I'm occupied with work.

I don't have spare time to do other things.

I'm glad you know that.

Lord.

Do you still intend to go

to Zhong Residence tomorrow?

I wanted to see her happy face

on her wedding day.

But now

I'm afraid of seeing her happy face.

Forget it.

I won't go.

Your mother is in the back hall.

What are you doing here?

This is where the butlers have meetings.

Father, I miss you.

Don't think I don't know what you're thinking.

Greetings, Master.

You... go home!

Miss.

Are you blind?

How dare you bump into our lady!

Miss, please spare my life!

Are you all right, Miss?

Miss, please spare my life!

Miss, please spare my life!

You lowly servant!

Not only did you steal pastries from the banquet

but you also bumped into Miss Hua.

Take her away and teach her a lesson.

After that, sell her away!

- Yes, sir! - I didn't do it on purpose.

- Please spare my life! - Wait.

I accidentally bumped into her.

It wasn't her fault.

But she also stole pastries from the banquet.

I told her to take them for me

because...

because my brother was still hungry.

All right. We shall take our leave.

Thank you, Miss Hua.

Thank you, Miss Hua.

We should leave.

Her Highness is still waiting for us.

These are dirty.

If you want more

go to the kitchen and ask for some pastries.

Tell them I want them.

Thank you, Miss Hua...

You are very kind.

Am I right, Senior?

Yes. Well done.

The three of us grew up together

but you only had eyes for Senior.

I always thought you would be happy

only when you got what you wanted.

It turned out I was wrong.

I shouldn't have allowed you

to fall in love with Senior

and gradually turned into someone you were not.

Even if you would hate me

I should have warned you.

You should give up as soon as you realised

you had fallen for the wrong person.

If I had not dwelled on it

and not hide my love for you

maybe you wouldn't be where you are now.

Somehow I feel

you know that I have feelings for you

as I'm so bad at hiding my feelings.

Qian.

I don't know what makes you

hang on to your dream

but that's not real.

I'm real

from the beginning to the end.

I waited for you for 26 months.

I mumbled these things to you every day.

Somehow I feel that

you're able to hear some of them in your dreams.

Qian.

It's impossible to the course of events.

You made a mistake but it's all right.

It's also normal to have feelings of regret.

As long as you want to start over again

it's never too late.

You once said you wanted to travel the world

and bring incense to every corner of the world.

I've never forgotten what you said.

I know

the reality is all too painful for you

but running away is not the solution.

Qian.

I want to tell you this.

Don't be afraid.

If you choose to wake up

I will be with you to face all this.

If you choose not to wake up

I will be here waiting for you as well.

Since I've been waiting for so long

I'm fine with waiting a little more.

But, Qian...

I know you will choose to wake up

won't you?

I remember hearing someone mumbling away

while I was dreaming.

It was you.

You just wouldn't let me sleep in peace.

Forget it.

It's time I woke up from my dream.

What's wrong?

I'm leaving.

Where are you going?

A place I fear to go.

But I must go.

So, I can't go with you this time, can I?

Miss, you knew Butler Hua and Mrs Hua are alive

but you didn't tell me to look for them.

So, I've guessed that

you would leave one day.

So, you knew all along.

I know everything.

For example, you like to eat walnuts

but you hate to deshell them.

You like to eat fruits

but you hate stale ones.

You like being in the sun.

You like sitting on the recliner chair.

You hate noise and complete silence

at the same time.

I also know that...

you will do well

even without me by your side.

Now I know

why your surname is Hua.

In this dream

I've made up for many past regrets.

The people around me were all from the past

except you.

I feel that no one has ever loved me truly.

So, you appeared in this dream.

You're someone who will never leave me

no matter what I did.

Hua Rongzhou, thank you very much.

I'm leaving.

I have to face reality in that hopeless world.

We can't live life all over again

but I no longer fear the future.

It's all right, Miss.

In any case...

you're the reason I exist.

Lord.

Her Highness sent someone over.

Ignore them.

They came with blood amber.

I'll make it quick. Wait for me.

How much blood amber did they bring?

I have yet to check the exact quantity

but I saw four wooden boxes.

Wonderful.

Zhong Xiwu.
