[Snowflakes bloomed and withered in seven nights, just like a brief reunion and an eternal parting]

[Snowy Night Timeless Love]

[Episode 1]

Mother!

Run!

Ye, run!

Run!

Ming Jie is still there!

if we don't leave, we'll all die!

No!

[Young Xue Ziye]

[Young Xuehuai]

No!

No!

Don't go forward.

Don't go any further.

Let's go!

No!

[Chief of Apothecary Valley: Xue Ziye]

Xuehuai.

Time really flies.

Another year has passed.

It's been years,

but I still haven't found the truth.

[Starfall Sea, West Kunlun]

[Seventh disciple of Sword Sect: Huo Zhanbai]

[Sixth disciple of Sword Sect: Xu Chonghua]

Sixth Brother.

I was ordered by Chief

to take you back for trial.

Huo Zhanbai.

I've severely injured several elders.

I'll be dead if I go back.

As long as you go back with me,

I'll plead with Chief

to spare your life.

That's right.

Sword Sect's future chief

pleading for me

might really

help me keep my life.

But the position of chief

should be mine.

I don't need you to give me a way out.

You're always irresolute

and indecisive.

I'm clearly

the best choice for chief.

Sixth Brother.

You know I don't

care for the position of chief.

That makes it even

more annoying.

I hate

that I saved you multiple times

when we were in near-death situations.

If only one of us were alive,

we wouldn't have come to this.

Sixth Brother.

You can ignore our brotherhood,

but Junior and Mo

are still waiting for you.

Mo.

I can't go back.

Our brotherhood

ends for good today.

Your sword was faster.

Sixth Brother.

Go back with me.

Seven.

I can't go back.

Sixth Brother.

Sixth Brother!

Take care of Qiushui and Mo for me!

Sixth Brother!

The Sword Sect,

[Sword Sect]

the leader of the righteous sects,

has gathered elites from various sects

to form the eight great disciples

[Sword Sect]

to uphold the Way and the law,

and rule the righteous path of the martial world.

Fourth Brother.

What have you been busy with?

Why're you so nosy?

I tried so hard

to get a date with

Ms. Liu Feifei,

Linglong's top courtesan.

But it's

pointless now

because of Huo Zhanbai's succession ceremony.

What a drag.

In half a month,

Seventh Brother will be our new chief.

Please mind your words.

There's still half a month.

So for now,

I've to savor the chance to

badmouth him.

Chief's favoring him

by making him his successor.

But he

actually refused it.

How ungrateful.

This stupid bird

is just like Seven.

If he wants to leave,

[Fourth disciple of Sword Sect: Xia Qianyu]

just let him go.

What's with

all these men watching him?

Chief wants

[Eighth disciple of Sword Sect: Zhou Xingzhi]

Seventh Brother to take over

and said that...

when he takes over,

he'll figure it out.

How are you going to keep an eye on him

with just these people?

These are

our top disciples.

With three layers

of them encircled inside and outside,

Seventh Brother can't get out.

Eight.

You clearly still don't know

Seven well.

These few men

can't stop him.

Impossible.

Seventh Brother!

Seventh Brother!

Where's Seventh Brother?

[Seventh disciple of Sword Sect: Huo Zhanbai]

Snow Harrier.

What took you so long?

If Chief found out,

we'd be stuck in here.

Let's go.

Chief.

[Chief of Sword Sect: Nangong Yanqi]

Don't be angry, Chief.

I know I was wrong.

Then why did you

leave the room without permission?

The back mountain's

maple leaves have turned red and pretty.

I couldn't resist.

I wanted to get some fresh air.

Watching maple leaves

at this hour?

Are you still

not over Six's death?

So much time

has passed!

Chief, you misunderstood.

I'm carefree now.

I've forgotten

everything else.

Did you really

forget everything?

You can fool others,

but can you fool me?

Under my order,

you went to stop Chonghua.

In the end, you only brought back

a broken White Halo Sword.

Others assume

you killed him.

But only I know

how close you and Chonghua are.

Although you volunteered

to stop him,

I know you

wanted to bring him back.

So,

you wouldn't have killed him.

I failed to bring Sixth Brother back.

So I'm the one who killed him.

There's no need to explain.

Zhanbai.

Chonghua's death

is not your fault.

You should let it go.

There's a time for everything.

I'm...

already old.

Chief, you're not old.

In my opinion,

you can still go on as chief

for another 30 to 50 years.

You're so foolish!

Chief.

Chief!

What's wrong?

Why are you so flustered?

Mo...

Mo is not well.

Doctor!

Doctor!

Doctor, don't go!

Doctor!

Doctor, don't go!

Can you figure something out?

I'm begging you.

[Xu Chonghua's wife: Qiushui Yin]

If you leave,

Mo will really die.

It's not that I don't want to save him.

It's beyond my means.

Madam.

You'd better find someone else.

What do you mean?

Junior.

Get up first.

Don't touch me!

Ms. Qiushui.

Chief!

Chief.

I'm begging you.

Please ask the doctor

to save Mo, okay?

Ms. Qiushui, don't be anxious.

Get up first.

Come on.

Madam.

Doctors are benevolent.

If I can save him,

why'd I refuse it?

I don't even know

the cause of his illness,

let alone cure him.

Madam.

-It's best to prepare... -Huan.

See the doctor off.

Yes.

Doctor, please.

Is there really

no other way?

As a mother,

do I really have to

see my child die?

There might be

someone who could cure him.

Who is it?

Apothecary Valley's

Xue Ziye?

That's right.

Chief.

Where is Apothecary Valley?

I'll bring Mo there now.

Ms. Qiushui, don't be too anxious.

Apothecary Valley

has its rules.

I heard that if you want

Chief Xue's treatment,

you must have the Fate-Reversal Token

and 100,000 gold taels.

I can prepare

the medical fee.

But this Fate-Reversal Token...

What about it?

Countless martial artists

fight for this death-defying token.

It's not easy to get it.

Leave it to me.

I'll figure it out.

But the year is coming to an end.

The Fate-Reversal Token

will be voided after New Year's Eve.

I wonder if

we can make it in time.

Junior.

Set off for

Apothecary Valley with Mo.

I'll find a way to get the Fate-Reversal Token.

By then,

we'll meet at Apothecary Valley.

You must remember

to arrive

before New Year's Eve.

[Apothecary Valley entrance]

Didn't our boss send us a message

that he's recovered and leaving the valley today?

Why is he still

not out?

Although our boss

is famous for his gambling skills,

he is

also very handsome.

Right?

I heard that Apothecary Valley's chief

fancies beautiful people.

Maybe she can't bear to say goodbye

and made him...

That makes sense.

Boss!

Boss.

What happened?

This Xue Ziye is such a devil!

Where are your clothes?

Hurry up!

Coats off.

Hurry up!

Boss.

As the Gambling King

and an upright man,

how can you be humiliated like this?

[Xuanyuan Sanguang]

It was so humiliating!

Boss.

Should I go in

and kill Xue Ziye?

I'll go too.

We'll avenge you.

Preposterous!

Who wants to resort to violence in Apothecary Valley?

It's fine that

you're bad at gambling,

but you’re even dishonest.

You owe my chief

3,108,600 taels

in gambling debt.

Including the valuable clothes you mortgaged,

you're still short of 97 taels.

Chief said

you can only leave after your debt's clear.

So you lost in gambling?

Screw you!

Do I look like I have

even a penny on me now?

Of course you don’t.

Our chief predicted that

people will pick you up.

That's why I came out to collect the debt.

Hurry up.

It's freezing.

This is the Apothecary Valley.

The world's best healer, Xue Ziye,

is our chief.

In today's martial world, good and evil stand opposed.

Only our Apothecary Valley in the north

doesn't belong to either faction.

We stand aloof from the martial world.

Because of our rejuvenation techniques,

we're respected by all in the martial world.

Our Apothecary Valley

is located in the far north of Mohe,

but for millenia,

the valley's underground fire has formed hot springs.

Therefore,

we have four distinct seasons.

We have four halls:

Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter Halls.

We live here.

Today is New Year's Eve,

the liveliest day in our valley.

Chief.

[Chief of Apothecary Valley: Xue Ziye]

Feng Lyu!

Feng Lyu's back.

Feng Lyu.

Feng Lyu.

Chief.

Chief.

Here’s the money.

This is 97 taels.

I've got

every penny

Xuanyuan Sanguang

owed you.

The debt is paid off.

But our valley's reputation

is even worse.

There've been countless rumors

that our chief is greedy and lustful.

That was bad enough.

Now she's even an avid gambler.

[Attendant of Apothecary Valley: Shuang Hong]

[Attendant of Apothecary Valley: Feng Lyu]

The rumors

will get so bad.

If I don't work hard to make money,

how can I support you?

Looks like

we're going to have a lavish year.

Let's add more dishes

on this New Year's Eve.

We should add more

offerings to our ancestors too.

Yes, yes.

Only nine of the ten Fate-Reversal Tokens

were reclaimed this year.

I'm afraid the last Fate-Reversal Token

will be voided.

One less job to do

means less hassle.

-Chief. -Chief.

-Happy New Year. -Happy New Year.

[Main Hall, Apothecary Valley]

Be safe, happy,

and healthy.

It's here.

Here.

Have another drink!

Me too.

Try this.

Chief.

Can you give us

[Attendant of Apothecary Valley: Xiao Cheng]

fatter bonuses this year?

[Attendant of Apothecary Valley: Xiao Jing]

[Attendant of Apothecary Valley: Lan Lan]

Yes, Chief.

Me too! Me too!

Don't worry.

You'll all get a share.

Today is New Year's Eve.

Let's get the party started.

Why don't we play the Category Game?

Whoever can't answer will have to drink!

-Sure! -Sure!

-Sure! -Sure!

I think you girls just

want to take this opportunity

to get me drunk.

Come on, Chief.

You usually drink alone.

Today is New Year's Eve.

It's just once a year.

Naturally, we should have a few more drinks.

-That's right. -That's right.

Let's play then.

How about we use

the category of medicinal herbs?

The herb you mention must have

the same medicinal properties

as the last.

Otherwise, you'll lose too.

No problem, Chief.

Living and praying on Huading Peak,

I pick and eat dewed Ganoderma.

Your turn.

Think of the red peonies blooming by the bridge,

but for whom do they bloom?

Medicinal herbs...

What else is there?

Think!

The red peony can be used as medicine,

but it's more famous as a flower.

It doesn't count.

You lost.

Chief!

You're nitpicking!

Drink up, drink up!

No, no.

Pour it.

Drink it. I don't want it.

Drink it now.

Come on, come on.

Hurry, hurry.

More. More.

You can do it.

I already drank once.

Quit it.

Chief, look at them...

Where's Chief?

Where did Chief go?

She left again.

As always, I guess Chief

isn't spending the night with us again.

Every New Year's,

she spends it alone.

She doesn’t let us join her too.

Chief has her own habits.

[Still Lake, Apothecary Valley]

Granny, you always

stay in the library.

It's rare for you to join us

during festivals.

Why didn't you join the girls

for New Year's Eve dinner?

I went.

[Granny Ning of Apothecary Valley]

I didn't see you.

So I thought

you must be drinking alone again.

Ziye.

Chief Liao asked you to drink wine

to fight off your cold disease.

But

drinking alone in sadness

is even more harmful.

It's fine.

Granny.

Just one cup.

Ziye.

Maybe it's time

you let go of the past.

♫Longing etched in my heart, but all it brings is parting♫

♫Plum blossoms are about to fall; I'll see you here♫

♫Why are you late and why is it about to snow again?♫

♫Warm stovetops and green film in wine, like an eternal farewell♫

♫Don't stop drinking; keep lingering and enjoy the long night♫

It's almost midnight.

I don't think anyone will come.

I hope the one with

the last Fate-Reversal Token

♫After all these years, my yearning for you is still as clear as the bright moon♫

will be safe.

♫Looking into the distance, speechless and sleepless♫

Dark Soul Sword?

The seventh disciple of Sword Sect,

Huo Zhanbai?

I'm sorry.

You frightened me just now.

I saw you were

about to close the valley gate.

I got desperate.

Please don't blame me.

No, no, I don't blame you.

If there's anyone to blame,

I should blame myself

for not expecting

such a handsome man to come tonight.

I even wanted to close the gate early.

I came at the dead of night

to request for Chief Xue's consultation.

For such a minor wound,

don’t bother the chief.

Let me take a look.

Thank you, Chief Xue.

But I’m not the patient.

You recognize me?

I heard Apothecary Valley's Chief Xue

is greedy and lustful.

I don't know about greedy,

but you seem

to be lustful indeed.

I just didn't expect

you'd be interested in

a down-and-out person like me.

I didn’t see clearly

with the dark clouds.

Now that I have a closer look,

you're quite average.

Since you're not the patient,

you should leave now.

I won't send you off. Bye.

The patient is on his way.

He'll be here soon.

Wait?

Only others

wait for me.

You're the first to expect me

to wait for others.

And the fee of 100,000 gold taels

will be here soon.

It's past midnight.

Your Fate-Reversal Token has been voided.

Please leave.

Chief Xue.

It was still 10 p.m. when I came up the mountain.

It took only half an hour.

I doubt it's already midnight.

What?

Mr. Huo,

if I don't agree,

will you try to kill me?

I dare not.

Since you recognize me,

you must know

what Sword Sect is like.

I won't be so rude.

But...

It's the New Year's.

It's bustling with reunions everywhere.

The two of us

are alone on a snowy night.

It’s also fate to meet each other.

May I invite you

to enjoy the snow with me?

Chief Xue!

Are you going to

just let him die?

He's not here.

Why is it my fault?

It's my rule to

observe a time limit.

It's his fate

that he can't be treated.

When there's a will, there's a way!

I'd like to see

if you have enough human will

to cause fate to change.

I will make you

take in Mo.

How dare he break into Apothecary Valley?

Even the huge valley gate

couldn't stop him.

Activate the Snow Hail Formation.

Yes.

This formation has many traps.

No one has ever overcome it.

He's really full of himself.

Anesthetic powder?

How could he overcome

the Snow Hail Formation so easily?

Apothecary Valley has been established for nearly a century.

We've seen many impressive martial artists.

But he's the first one

to overcome the formation.

If he takes a step closer,

we'll have to end his life.

He overcame the Snow Hail Formation.

Why isn't he breaking into this gate?

He just wanted to prove to me that

human will can surpass fate.

If he wants to come in,

no one can stop him.

He is so reckless.

Let's teach him a lesson.

He is determined.

It's pointless to stop him.

I challenged the formation

because I'm desperate.

Please forgive me

if I've offended you.

I just hope

you'll treat the patient.

I'll be eternally grateful

and indebted to you.

In the future,

I'll be at your disposal.

Chief Xue.

You've asked me for treatment repeatedly.

But the patient is still

not here.

You risked your life for him for nothing.

He's here.

That is the person you'd sacrifice your life

to save?

If possible,

I'm willing to pay with my life.

What pointless words.

If you can

really trade your life

for another person's life,

there wouldn't be so many

in agony and despair.

Besides,

you're attempting the impossible.

Is it really worth it?

Has anyone ever overcome

the Snow Hail Formation?

No.

You won't know

before you try.

Junior.

Chief Xue is at the door.

Chief Xue.

I’m Qiushui Yin, the daughter

of Celestial Alp Sect's chief Qiushui He.

Please save my child.

If my child survives,

Celestial Alp Sect will thank you properly.

No wonder you worked so hard just now.

You're a good father.

Mo is not my son,

but he's akin to one.

Please, Chief Xue.

Please, Chief Xue.

Please save my child.

Chief Xue,

please treat the child.

Chief Xue!

Chief Xue!

This is the first Fate-Reversal Token

of the year.
