Original subtitles

This color is too bright, I can't use it.

I think so too.

Sister Mu Yao, you are so gentle.

This rustic brown suits you better.

Yes, this is really nice,

much better than what Sheng picked.

Sheng bought rouge for me before.

The color was shockingly pink.

Men know nothing about these.

They can't even distinguish between bright red, bright pink and russet red.

Speaking of lipstick,

my first lipstick was given to me by my mom,

my mother.

It's the first time you've mentioned your mother.

-Your mother… -She is not here.

She is in another world.

Although she often nagged me,

I suddenly miss her now.

I understand.

My mother also passed away early.

No, no. That's not what I meant.

The other world I mentioned

is truly another world.

In my hometown,

my mother is still alive and well.

I often think the same way.

My parents have not passed away.

They are just in another world.

They are still in my old house,

living well.

Lin Yu,

sometimes, I really envy you.

I was born into the Mu Family,

destined to be a Demon Catcher.

I still have unfinished missions.

Sister Mu, please don't say that.

You are so good-looking,

open-minded, generous, and responsible.

Most importantly, you can catch demons.

You are so powerful.

Really?

The supporting actress is tricky.

The supporting actor is tenacious.

The lead actor is kind to everyone.

After reading the entire book,

I only like the lead actress.

I didn't expect you

to be so straightforward.

The first time I saw you,

I thought you were introverted,

gentle and worrisome.

Sister, be more mindful.

That's a vicious supporting actress.

She'll compete with you for the lead actor.

Right, speaking of the lead actor…

Wait a moment.

Brother Liu,

the grasshopper is ready, right?

Sister Mu Yao is inside. Hurry and give it to her.

How did you know I brought a grasshopper?

Let's go.

Lin Yu,

what did you do to my sister?

-Hurry up. -How does she suddenly like you?

Sister Mu, Brother Liu has something to give you.

Don't be shy.

Here.

Open it and take a look.

How exquisite!

Where did you get it?

I…

This is woven by Brother Liu himself.

He was afraid you would be bored

and made it for you.

Yes.

Do you like it?

Yes.

In the book, Lin Yu fights for this grasshopper,

which caused a misunderstanding between them.

This plot is really annoying and unnecessary.

You have a good chat,

take your time.

I'm leaving now.

Miss Lin,

I really underestimated you.

I haven't heard my sister laugh so happily

and seen her so relaxed in a long time.

Tell me,

how exactly did you bewitch my sister?

Are you okay?

Your sister was rarely so happy and relaxed.

Shouldn't you feel happy?

You are an outsider.

Why did she laugh for you?

Why did she feel good with you?

Why is she like a sibling with you?

Do you know how hard it is for me

to make my sister happy?

You…

What are you laughing at?

So, you're jealous.

How ridiculous!

Who do you think you are?

Do you deserve to make me jealous?

You are clearly jealous!

Your sister chats happily with me,

but has nothing to say to you.

Is there a possibility

Sister Mu Yao just wants to find a girl

to chat with about things like close friends do?

So she has nothing to say to you.

Are you saying

I grew up with my sister

and we have accompanied each other for decades,

but our relationship can't compare to you,

a stranger we've only known for a few days?

Young Master Mu,

you don't need to resort to violence, do you?

I'm warning you.

Don't do anything reckless.

Otherwise…

Otherwise, what?

Otherwise…

Sister Mu Yao,

your brother bullied me again.

-Sister -I…

Your brother bullied me again.

I…

Sister Mu Yao,

Sister Mu Yao.

-Lin Yu, what's wrong? -Sister Mu Yao.

Your brother said I was getting close to you

with bad intentions.

He said I want to harm you.

I feel so wronged.

Miss Lin is a frail girl.

Sheng, don't go too far.

Sheng, apologize.

Sister, I completely…

I asked you to apologize to Lin Yu,

did you hear that?

I'm sorry.

She didn't hear it. Louder.

I'm sorry.

This was my fault. I apologize to you.

Please don't cry.

Look, he has apologized to you.

Don't cry anymore.

Alright.

I will forgive him.

Stop crying.

Lin Yu,

just you wait.

Sister Mu, is this place good?

I've wandered around. In my yard,

this small pavilion is the most comfortable.

In the summer, it's cool here.

We can drink tea under the moon at night.

It is truly tasteful.

Young Master Mu,

haven't you finished peeling yet?

Sheng,

you said you wronged Lin Yu

and wanted to apologize to her.

Miss Lin,

please help yourself.

I've been killed by you so many times.

I must get my revenge this time.

I want to eat grapes.

Who is stopping you?

Sister.

Do grapes need to be peeled?

Miss Lin,

did you break your hand?

Do you need me to help you set the bone?

Sheng, don't scare her.

Sister,

you're spoiling her.

She's clearly making fun of me.

What bad intentions could Lin Yu have?

It's just peeling some grapes.

It doesn't take much effort.

Why be so stingy about it?

It's so sour.

Wonderful.

It's good to have strong backing.

I should have clung to the lead actress earlier,

to enjoy the protagonist's halo

and handle Mu Sheng.

Sister Mu Yao, have some tea, please.

What's wrong with you?

Is your shoulder uncomfortable?

It seems like I accidentally twisted it.

When my neck was uncomfortable before,

it was Sheng who massaged me.

His technique is excellent.

Why don't you have a try?

No need. How could I trouble Young Master Mu?

Why be so polite?

I've already peeled longan and grapes for you.

Giving your shoulders a little massage,

is no big deal.

I… I'm not in pain anymore.

Young Master Mu, I'm already fine.

-I'm already fine. -I haven't even started yet.

It hurts! Go away.

-Help! -Stop!

Help!

-Sister Mu Yao, help! -Stop there!

-It doesn't hurt anymore. -I massage well.

I beg you, please, I was wrong.

How about I peel some fruit for you?

-I was wrong. -What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What's that?

Making a fuss over nothing.

It's just a Dust Demon.

Dust Demon?

-Sister. -Dust Demons are the most minor demons.

They have almost no magical powers.

They are as inconspicuous as dust,

hence the name.

Is this a part in the book?

It's my fault for being hasty and skipping quite a few chapters.

I didn't read it carefully.

So,

are there many demons in this world?

All things have spirits,

whether it is animals or livestock,

plants, or even objects.

If there is fate,

anything can turn into a demon.

Demons are everywhere.

They coexist with us.

There are so many demons.

Can you Demon Catchers handle them all?

Only demons with great magical abilities

can harm humans,

and thus need to be captured.

Dust Demons are as common as mosquitoes.

What do other demons look like?

Are you a three-year-old child?

Don't you even have this basic knowledge?

Lin Yu is a young girl

and has been protected well.

It's normal for her not to know this.

What I taught you when you were young,

explain it carefully to Lin Yu.

The Demon Clan is divided into nine levels.

The Dust Demon belongs to the first level.

Some rare and special Demon Clans,

blessed by the essence of heaven and earth,

can transform into human shapes when awakening spiritual intelligence.

Most Demon Clans need to cultivate to the fourth level

to awaken their spiritual intelligence

and transform into human shapes at the fifth rank.

The higher the demon level, the fewer their numbers,

and the rarer it is to encounter them.

A nine-level demon

is even rarer, appearing only once in a millennium.

Once it appears,

it will be the King of Demons.

Resentful Woman?

Yes.

Resentful Woman,

is the strongest and

the most evil demon in the world.

Isn't that the final boss in the book?

I have to defeat her to clear the game.

Do you have any solutions

for defeating the Resentful Woman?

You don't even know about the Dust Demon.

You want to defeat the Resentful Woman?

So ignorant and fearless.

I am just worried.

When it comes into my mind that there are such terrifying demons,

I can't fall asleep at night.

Rest assured.

We will definitely kill the Resentful Woman.

We endure the hardships of life outdoors

to guard the peace of ordinary people.

Moreover, the Resentful Woman has a blood feud with the Mu Family.

No matter the cost,

I will definitely find her

and kill her.

Sheng,

remember my name.

I

am the Resentful Woman.

Resentful Woman?

Actually, Sister Mu is quite good.

She is cool and generous.

We can consider ourselves sisters now.

Lin Yu is a fake friend of the lead actress,

pretending to be sincere,

and scheming against her all day.

But now, I really like Sister Mu.

I don't know whether, if this continues,

the plot will progress more smoothly?

Task three for a beginner:

please go to Mu Yao's bedroom,

and destroy the family heirloom that Mu Yao is repairing,

Hundred Demons Mountain and Sea Map.

It's written in the book that

Hundred Demons Mountain and Sea Map is the Mu Family's heirloom.

It can reveal the movements of demons,

but it was damaged several decades ago.

Mu Yao carries it with her,

collecting spiritual power from all over the world,

attempting to repair it,

hoping to find the Resentful Woman who has been missing for years,

to avenge the family.

Mu Sheng suspects that Liu Fuyi wants to steal this map

and argues with Mu Yao.

Sister, are you so sure

Liu Fuyi's affections toward you

are genuine and sincere,

and without an ulterior motive?

I believe so.

What if he approached you from the very beginning

just for this Hundred Demons Mountain and Sea Map?

Sister, you have to be cautious.

Nonsense.

Fuyi is upright and honest.

He is not that kind of person.

This conversation is overheard by Lin Yu.

After the siblings part on bad terms,

when Mu Yao falls asleep,

Lin Yu secretly burns the map.

If Brother Liu truly approaches you for this map,

and I burn it,

Brother Liu will have no reason to stay with you,

will he?

This plot is so retarded.

Two such powerful Demon Catchers are discussing matters inside the house.

How could the weak supporting actress

not be discovered whilst eavesdropping?

They said it's an important trea--

treasure.

Don't they know to hide it properly?

If burning the picture is a must,

why would she burn it in the lead actress' room?

Isn't she afraid of the lead actress waking up?

Without 50 years of cerebral thrombosis,

one couldn't write such an absurd plot.

The most ridiculous thing is now

I have to personally go through this lousy plot.

It's really annoying.

I have to finish this part of the main storyline.

Sister,

are you so sure Lin Yu's closeness to you

is genuine and sincere,

and without another motive?

I believe so.

But what if she intended from the very beginning to--

To do what?

Although I don't know what,

she definitely has ulterior motives.

Sister, you must be on guard.

Lin Yu is gentle and kind.

She is not that kind of person.

What is there to guard against?

Lin Yu is the daughter of a County Magistrate,

lacks neither gold nor silver,

and has no interest in magical arts.

What could she possibly want from me?

She…

Maybe she is doing it for Liu Fuyi.

Fuyi?

No.

It doesn't seem quite right.

I don't know.

Anyway, she just doesn't have good intentions.

You're here again.

Is it that I have a new friend

that makes you feel uneasy?

You lived in the Mu Family since childhood,

and had no friends of the same age,

only the two of us kept each other company.

Along this journey,

the only person you've been able to completely trust

is me.

Whether it's Fuyi

or Lin Yu,

you are unwilling to open your heart and make friends.

I understand you.

I don't blame you.

But, in the future,

I hope you

can open your heart and trust others,

because there are many lovely

and trustworthy people in this world.

The lead actress Mu Yao is good,

but just a bit too saintly.

If it weren't for the protagonist's halo,

she probably wouldn't survive long.

As a person,

how can she be so naïve?

So,

you've decided to treat Lin Yu as your friend.

Actually, I don't know

how to get along with girls of the same age.

I always thought that as Demon Catchers,

we would seem strange to ordinary girls,

but Lin Yu is really nice.

Chatting with her is relaxing and joyful.

If she thinks the same way,

I think she should be my first bosom buddy.

I quit.

Why do I have to do such a thing that upsets others?

Silly Mu Yao, Mu Sheng is right.

I'm not a good person at all.

You shouldn't trust me so much.

What a bad system!

You are cold-blooded, shameless and selfish.

Listen, I'm not going to be this vicious supporting actress anymore.

At worst, I'll never complete the game.

What's the big deal about that?

Forget it, why am I taking a book seriously?

I'll move on with the plot.

No need to overthink it.

Alright, it's getting late.

Go back and sleep.

Sister,

you haven't been sleeping well lately.

This is a calming talisman.

Alright, leave now.

Sister Mu Yao.

HUNDRED DEMONS MOUNTAIN AND SEA MAP

Fu Zhou writes it like this.

Sister Mu, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to do it.

Is there no other way?

No, wait.

Even if there's just a little.

What to do?

Such an important treasure is too easily burned.

I only saved this little bit.

Mu… Young Master Mu.

I just want to ask you,

in the dead of night,

what were you doing

in my sister's room?

I… I…

My Sister's Mountain and Sea Map is…

Burned.

You…

Young Master Mu, are you sleepwalking?

I just want to ask you,

in the dead of night,

what were you doing

in my sister's room?

I couldn't fall asleep.

So I came out for a walk.

What's wrong? Is that illegal?

Can you explain

why my sister's Hundred Demons Mountain and Sea Map

is hidden in your clothes?

No.

I don't believe it.

In the dead of night,

what were you doing

in my sister's room?

I didn't do anything.

If you don't believe me, search me.

Passed

You act stealthily

and repeatedly cause trouble.

Although I've been monitoring you for days,

I haven't caught any evidence against you.

But it's safest to kill you.

Bro, don't be so ruthless.

There's evidence against me, I will die.

There's no evidence against me, I will still die.

This is unreasonable.

I'm waiting for you.

How did you know I was coming?

Nonsense. You've killed me three times today.

I guessed it.

Since that's the case,

what exactly is your purpose?

I have no purpose at all. I just want to survive.

You act stealthily and repeatedly cause trouble.

Although I've been monitoring you for days,

I haven't caught any evidence against you.

But…

But I like you.

I act stealthily

because I am following you.

I repeatedly cause trouble,

because I want to look at you more.

That's right.

I like you.

I like you so much that I don't know what to do.

How is that? Is it okay?

Is it alright now?

What exactly do you want to let me go?

Wishful thinking.

This Tsundere character.

Congratulations, host.

You have finished the third task.

You have completed all the tasks for a beginner.

QINGYUE PAVILION

What impressive skills!

Sheng,

shall we have a sparring match?

No need.

You are a renowned busy person.

Why waste time?

Sheng, we've been together for so long.

Why are you still being so distant?

Then I'll ask you something.

Please go ahead.

How long do you plan to cling to my sister?

Gone.

What is gone?

The Hundred Demons Mountain and Sea Map.

Which one should I choose?

Wan, come over and help me choose.

It's like this,

I have a friend,

she accidentally caused trouble for someone.

She felt bad about it

and wanted to give a gift as compensation.

What do you think about this?

Miss,

this is crafted by top artisans from the Western Regions,

it's a Lily Pattern Gemstone Hairpin.

It's even rarely seen in the palace.

But it looks a bit tacky, doesn't it?

How about this one?

This seems a bit too plain.

Miss, this…

This one is quite unique.

It's quite heavy too.

Is this expensive?

This Inlaid Pearl and Butterfly Hairpin is priceless.

When you were 15, you said you wanted it.

The master went through great difficulties…

-Is it expensive or not? -Expensive.

This is the most expensive one.

Expensive is correct.

If it's too cheap, I'm afraid it won't be presentable.

I'll choose it.

Miss.

Miss.

QINGYUE PAVILION

The Hundred Demons Mountain and Sea Map was burned completely,

except for this broken fragment.

If it weren't for the leakage of spiritual energy,

I'm afraid I wouldn't have found this fragment.

Where was this found?

At the bottom of the pond in the West Courtyard.

Sister Mu, I have a gift for you.

You are chatting.

I won't disturb you for now.

Miss Lin, please wait.

Miss Lin,

has anything suspicious happened at your mansion lately?

For example, strangers breaking in?

No.

Miss Lin, do you have any impression of this map fragment?

No.

To be honest,

Yao lost something important.

It seems a thief came to your mansion.

Thief?

-That is serious… -Sister.

This matter won't be over.

I will do whatever is needed

to catch this thief.

The pond in the West Courtyard is not shallow.

Young Master Liu, you can find this fragment

with just a trace of spiritual energy.

You are so skillful.

Tracing energy

is just an ordinary skill.

Are you tracing energy or predicting the future?

What do you mean by that?

You just said that

the Hundred Demons Mountain and Sea Map is a treasure wanted by all Demon Catchers.

What about you?

Sheng, you're going too far with this statement.

Miss Lin,

please call all the guards in your mansion,

and ask them one by one

whether I approached Yao's bedroom recently.

No problem.

Asking might not yield any answers.

I have a simple solution.

This is the Heartburn Curse.

As long as this curse is applied,

one will reveal everything in no time.

I mean,

we gather everyone who interacted with my sister

from the day before yesterday to today,

and use this curse for interrogation.

They couldn't stay silent.

And you, Miss Lin,

you were sneaking around the pond last night

and telling lies,

could it be that they are your accomplices?

-No, no. -Liu Fuyi doesn't admit it.

So, we'll start with you.

Sheng.

You feel heartache?

Even unreasonable troublemaking should have its limits.

Usually, out of respect for Yao,

I respect you and protect you,

but this time,

I have no choice but to reprimand you as an elder brother.

Unreasonable troublemaking?

All I seek is the truth.

I came to my sister's room yesterday.

I won't bother you.

I will take this curse first.

I, Mu Sheng, swear to the heavens

that I've never stolen the Hundred Demons Mountain and Sea Map.

If I'm lying, I will be struck by the lightning!

Miss Lin,

dare you take this curse?

The sky in my eyes Is always a dazzling blue

The departing ship raises its sails Waiting for the wind

It says breaking Through layers of obstacles

Will lead to the stars and the sea

The fledgling bird at the cliff's edge Spreads its wings

How high must it fly To meet expectations

The waves say The breeze will come naturally

So fly

Even if I encounter storms And crash into flames

Even if the thorns cover me

I was meant to

Embrace every surging wave

This world

Has both spectacular and ordinary moments

Giving it my all is brave enough

The next stop

Is calling me from ahead

A flower breaking through the stone Pure and soft

Open up an umbrella on a long journey

No matter where the wind comes from I'll look forward to it

So fly

Even if I encounter storms And crash into flames

Even if the thorns cover me

I was meant to

Embrace every surging wave

This world

Has both spectacular and ordinary moments

Giving it my all is brave enough

The next stop

Is calling me from ahead

As the wind blows open the folded Crane-shaped letters

The yellowing paper Reflects forgotten wishes

I want to talk to the passionate persistence I had back then

Thank you for not retreating

Thank you for always guarding your beliefs

So fly

Even if I encounter storms And crash into flames

Even if the thorns cover me

I was meant to

Embrace every surging wave

This world

Has both spectacular and ordinary moments

Giving it my all is brave enough

The next stop

Is calling me from ahead
