=The Rise of Ning=

(Adapted from Wen Tan's novel "Chancellor Training Handbook" from Jinjiang Literature)

=Episode 25=

If so, can you tell me about

the relationship between you

and Lu Jiaxue?

Third Brother,

Lu Jiaxue and I are now strangers.

You mustn't be distracted because of me.

Your priority right now is to study hard

and pass the imperial examination.

♪Love, subtle and vivid♪

Third Brother, what are you...

♪Afraid of missing out and mistakes, of the begonias blooming and withering♪

I just

regret the fact that I couldn't

reunite with you earlier.

I regret the fact that I couldn't protect you.

But no matter what,

we're still reunited.

Third Brother,

I wish to head back first.

Okay.

♪Longing the days of the past♪

♪I will stay in this corner♪

Young Lady,

I saw Third Young Master hugging you just now.

He's just too worried about me.

Third Young Master is the nicest brother

in the world.

He even prepared your dowries for you.

Yeah. He's my third brother.

Of course he's nice to me.

(Crescent Moon)

(Happiness)

I don't like studying or writing.

There must be no calligraphy paintings in the house.

There must also be no desks.

I want my favorite clay dolls

and papercraft

to be lined neatly in a row.

They'll keep me company.

All right.

I brought you some delicious dates today.

Why don't you try one?

You should try one.

Mei.

Besides eating,

do you know what else these dates can be used for?

I don't.

During one's wedding night,

one will lay them on the bed

so that the bride can give birth soon.

Lu Jiaxue, I'm feeding you dates here,

yet you want me to give birth soon?

Sixth Uncle,

is this the new product you invented?

Yanrong Pavilion is open for business now.

Naturally, I have to come up with new products.

Take another sniff.

No matter how many times I smell it,

it smells like a certain type of herb.

This is called Deity Goddess Powder.

It's made of motherwort.

I made some adjustments to the formula found

in Tang bencao.

I added some ingredients to it.

Cleansing your face with it twice per day

can remove spots and whiten the skin,

making it smooth and flawless.

All right. I'll give it a try, then.

There are only two bottles here. I'll give you one more bottle.

You can give it to Yixiu.

We can't just let Aunt detain Yixiu

all the time.

If so, Yining,

do you have a way to rescue her?

If Her Highness didn't want to establish a marital alliance,

Yixiu would've been detained

for nothing.

But I think Young Master Han

fancies Yixiu.

Does he truly fancy her?

What do you mean?

Think about it.

He only develops an appetite

when he sees Sixth Sister eating.

What if we cure him of his condition?

Doesn't that mean

he'll stop fancying Sixth Sister?

Young Master Lin, why don't you cut to the chase?

Don't tell me

this vial contains poison?

This is a medicine used to treat anorexia.

I only managed to complete it after pulling several all-nighters.

You better know what's good for you.

Why are you suddenly being kind to me?

Did Sixth Lady instruct you to deliver this to me?

I delivered it to you for Sixth Lady's sake.

Madam Chen wishes to establish a marital alliance with Her Highness.

Sixth Lady wasn't willing to comply.

She was locked inside her room.

It's been a few days since then.

How could that be?

Wait.

Why isn't Sixth Lady

willing to comply?

Are you willing to comply, then?

Of course.

Do you fancy Sixth Lady?

I do.

Sixth Lady is bubbly and adorable.

Of course I fancy her.

I'm willing to marry her and treat her nicely for the rest of my life.

But what if she's depressed,

has no appetite,

and can't enjoy meals with you in the future?

Will you still fancy her by then?

Will you still be willing to treat her nicely?

Now, you fancy her.

You wish to be together with her.

It's just because she helps

you develop an appetite.

You see, there's no goal when you fancy someone.

Instead, you'll be willing to sacrifice yourself

for her sake.

Are you willing to do so?

I...

You hesitated.

You're not decisive enough.

You're weighing the pros and cons now.

If so, I...

Actually, I don't fancy Sixth Lady.

Not only that,

but she also doesn't fancy you.

If not, she wouldn't have been detained by her mother

because she resisted her order.

Although one's marriage is decided by their parents

and the matchmaker,

if one can spend their lives

with their beloved until old age,

I suppose that's a happy ending.

I believe you won't get married

with a meal buddy, right?

I need to consider this carefully.

You have to.

Don't ruin your life

and harm Sixth Lady at the same time.

For this medicine,

you should take it one hour before meal.

I guarantee that you'll develop a huge appetite.

If it doesn't work, find me again.

If so, thank you, Young Master Lin.

Don't mention it.

I'll make a move first.

Take care, Young Master Lin.

Have you met Sixth Lady today?

No, I haven't.

But you have a great appetite today.

A friend of mine studies medicine.

He gave me a prescription.

He said it could cure my condition.

At first, I didn't believe him.

But when I gave it a try, it was actually effective.

Now, I develop a huge appetite whenever I see food.

Is that true?

What kind of prescription is it?

Have you let the imperial physician examine it?

I have. They said the prescription was fine.

That's great.

Who's that friend of yours?

I need to prepare a huge gift for him

and thank him for his effort.

Mother, there's no need for that. I've already thanked him.

Mother,

have you met up

with Madam Chen lately?

Madam Chen?

She did visit me twice.

She brought some snacks with her,

saying that Sixth Lady

made them for me.

Zhao,

do you fancy Sixth Lady?

Why don't you marry her?

Mother,

let's put this aside for now.

Put this aside?

Do you not fancy Sixth Lady now?

That's not it.

Anyway, let's put it aside for now.

Mother, let's eat. I'm starving.

All right. Let's eat.

Eating is the most important thing. Here, give this a try.

Sixth Lady

has invented a new type of snack.

She told me to bring it here so that you could try it, Your Highness.

Madam Chen, thank you so much.

I wonder if Young Master Han

has any appetite lately.

Yixiu said

Young Master Han loved sweet and sour food.

She made some sweet and sour pastries

just for him.

His appetite has been getting better.

Thank you for being concerned about him.

Just look at the children.

One of them loves preparing food while the other loves eating them.

They do feel like a good match, don't they?

Madam Chen,

I do like Sixth Lady.

But you see, when it comes to marriage,

we should ask the children whether they fancy each other or not.

If they do fancy each other,

naturally, it'll be a great match.

However, if they're forced to get married,

I'm afraid they won't lead a good life in the future.

Your Highness, you're right.

Has Sixth Lady been up to anything strange

when she was locked inside her room?

No, she hasn't.

I'm sure she did something.

If not,

Her Highness wouldn't have said something like that today.

You better keep a close eye on her!

Yes, Madam.

(Dedicated to Old Madam Luo)

Young Lady Zhao

is inviting the ladies of the Luo's Residence

to Duke Ying's Residence.

This is Young Lady Zhao of Duke Ying's Residence.

She's the precious daughter of the Duke.

Mother,

I heard that Young Lady Zhao

isn't the daughter of Duke Ying.

Zhao Mingzhu

is the child

of Old Madam Wei's fellow clan member.

Duke Ying

is constantly fighting in wars.

He never got married or had any children.

Old Madam Wei

took this child in and raised her as her own grandchild.

Although she's not biologically related to them, they're very close.

I thought he had a son.

That's the child of his maid.

Duke Ying is pretty strange

for not getting married.

I heard that he doesn't even have a mistress.

Enough already.

We should stay out of other people's family affairs.

I've always respected

Old Madam Wei.

She once led an army to battle.

She spoke and acted with determination.

She was definitely a heroine of the state.

Due to that, you guys must respond

to Young Lady Zhao's invitation for her sake.

Therefore, when you guys are there,

you have to be careful.

Treat the encounter seriously.

- Yes, Mother. - Yes, Mother.

Where's Yixiu? Why isn't she here?

She's been sick lately.

I told her to stay in her room

so that she wouldn't infect the others.

Has the physician examined her, then?

Yes.

It's nothing major. It's just a cold.

All right.

(Han Zhao accepted my medicine.)

(His condition has been cured.)

(I don't think he'll agree to the marriage now.)

You're a noble lady, you know?

Where did you learn all this from?

How dare you keep hidden notes?

I wrote them as I was too bored.

Someone! Capture this goose

and cook it!

- Fugui, run! - Hurry!

Fugui, run! Don't let them capture you!

Fugui!

Nobody touches Fugui!

You!

Since it entered my territory, it's mine now!

I'll make some goose soup tonight!

Get out of the way!

Scram!

Nobody moves!

I'll fight those who dare to touch Fugui

to the end!

Come inside right now.

Don't be scared. I'll return soon.

Lan.

It's just an animal.

Animals don't know how to reason.

Why are you holding a grudge against it?

Madam Lin, I only have one purpose

for inviting you here today.

Young Master Lin used his goose as a messenger

to lead Yixiu astray

and ruin her marriage.

I don't think there's a grudge between

our families.

May I know why Young Master Lin

is engaging in such sneaky and underhanded activities?

(Han Zhao accepted my medicine. His condition has been cured.)

I merely did a kind deed.

I gave Han Zhao a prescription and cured his condition.

There's no helping it.

My brother has been kind since young.

He couldn't stand it when people suffer.

Coincidentally, he has some medical skills as well.

Lan, if you're upset about it,

I'll join you in heading to Her Highness's Residence

and retrieve the medicine meant for Young Master Han, then.

There's no need for you to be this angry.

Don't try to threaten me with Her Highness's name.

As the first principal wife,

I never wanted to be involved with you.

Madam Lin, I hope you can keep

a close eye on your brother in the future.

Do not ruin the Luo's Residence

and the Lin Family's reputation.

Thank you for the reminder.

I also have some advice for you.

Nothing forcibly done is going to be agreeable.

If you keep restraining Sixth Lady like this,

something bad will occur eventually.

I don't need other people to tell me what to do

regarding my daughter's marriage.

I'll drop the issue today.

In the future,

one should pray that he won't let me find out

that he's trying to dupe my daughter again.

If not, I'll show him no mercy.

Ms. Zhao, see them off.

Thank you.

Take your letter. Let's go.

Fugui.

Let's go.

(Caifu Abode)

What's wrong with you?

Why are you sabotaging Sixth Lady's marriage?

I didn't.

I'm trying to help her out.

Help her? Or are you trying to help yourself out?

I just don't want her to be married to Han Zhao.

When I think that she's getting married to him,

I can't eat or sleep.

- I feel terrible. - Do you feel good now?

I told you before.

Chen Lan despises the Lin Family.

Moreover, you're not an official.

How could she betroth Sixth Lady to you?

I can also make a name for myself as a merchant.

Although Chen Lan appears to be uncompetitive on the surface,

she's proud and arrogant.

She despises even the Liu Family.

How could she take a liking to the Lin Family

when we're a family of merchants?

I suggest you give up on her.

I could still do something about it if it's someone else.

But I can't do anything about Chen Lan's daughter.

Hairu.

I know you won't leave me in the lurch.

Young Lady,

did something occur within the shop?

I was wondering about

the invitation to Duke Ying's Residence.

Is there something wrong with Young Lady Zhao's invitation?

Do you still remember

who Zhao Mingzhu

came to our residence with last time?

Lu Jiaxue?

Are you worried

that he instructed Young Lady Zhao to do so?

Although Duke Ying and Lu Jiaxue

appear to have different political views on the court,

the two families had always been close to each other.

Zhao Mingzhu gave us a sudden invitation.

And, only the ladies of the Luo's Residence were invited.

I think

there must be something off about it.

If so, Young Lady, will you still show up?

If I reject her today,

she'll invite me again tomorrow.

If I reject her tomorrow,

she'll invite me again the day after tomorrow.

There's no avoiding her.

(Duke Ying's Residence)

Duke Ying's Residence does live up to its reputation.

Even their main gate looks much grander than the usual.

Anyone who's born into a family like this

must've saved the world in their past lives.

You should be grateful

that you're born into the Luo Family.

Put away that unpresentable demeanor of yours

when we enter the residence later.

Greetings, ladies.

My young lady is waiting for you all at the Yi Garden.

Please follow me.

Please lead the way.

Duke Ying,

I've received some rare Longyuan Shengxue Tea lately.

Since you loved tea,

I brought them here as a gift.

Jiaxue, I appreciate your effort.

Ever since you allied yourself with Chancellor Wang,

forget about having tea,

we hardly even have the chance to meet each other.

Duke Ying,

I know

you're still upset with me

regarding Chen Daoyan's death.

However,

Chancellor Wang was supposed to oversee the case himself.

I was just following his order.

Duke Ying,

you didn't need to get yourself involved in this mess.

To be honest with you,

I did spend some time

with Chen Jiuheng before.

I believe

that he isn't a greedy and unscrupulous person.

Chen Jiuheng submitted a memorial regarding the abnormal tea tax.

But in the end? He was convicted of

embezzling the funds meant for disaster relief soon after.

Since then, no one dared to say anything

about the tea tax.

That caused

the production of tea leaves to increase rapidly

while the tea tax was reduced.

Nobody knows how many people have profited

from this endeavor alone.

Jiaxue,

you should know

that the tea tax

is an important source of military supplies.

What can I use to defend our state against our enemies

if we lack sufficient military supplies?

Duke Ying, I understand your concern.

But this has gone on for some time.

It's not that easy

to turn it around.

Jiaxue,

your father and I were close friends.

That's why I'll give you a reminder.

If you get too close to a certain individual,

you'll be endangering yourself as well.

Duke Ying, don't worry.

I know what I'm doing.

But Duke Ying,

since you're involving yourself in this,

you have to be extra careful in the future.

You want me to be careful?

Did you actually say that?

You should understand

that the Wei Family gained its reputation

from risking our lives on the battlefield

for generations.

I don't even fear death.

What should I be careful about?

What's with all the strangers in the residence?

Young Lady Mingzhu invited

the ladies of the Luo's Residence to visit her here.

Which Luo's Residence?

The one with the top scholar,

the one with Registrar Luo of Imperial Court of Judicial.

They have quite a lot of female members, don't they?

We don't leave our residence usually.

Due to that, I thought our centennial garden

was considered amazing.

Now that I'm lucky enough to explore Duke Ying's garden myself,

I found out how ignorant I was.

It has truly broadened my horizons.

The garden in Luo's Residence is pretty nice.

However, our Yi Garden

is cultivated by palace personnel.

Naturally, it's different.

Duke Ying has rendered countless military merit.

He's favored by His Majesty as well.

I'm afraid no one in the court

can compare to him.

Ting, that was careless of you.

Mingzhu, are you here

to play shuttlecock with me?

Ting,

I'm entertaining my guests right now.

I'll play with you later, okay?

Young boy,

your shuttlecock looks nice.

Did you put two coins inside?

I put three coins.

You're amazing, then.

This shuttlecock is very heavy.

Ordinary people can't even attempt to play it.

Can you do it, then?

I'll give it a try.

Come.

My seventh sister loved to play since young.

She's used to playing around without observing decency.

Sorry for the embarrassment.

Was she like this since young?

She was a little bully

since young.

She was used to being willful

as Grandma had spoiled her.

Is that so?

She was...

competitive since young.

Young Lady, I'm sorry! I deserved to be punished!

How are you so careless?

Thank you, Young Lady.

Lu Jiaxue,

I went out and played with some foxtail grass today.

But suddenly, my body feels itchy.

What's going on?

Does it still itch?

Seventh Lady, are you okay?

You look quite pale.

Are you unwell?

Marquis Lu, thank you for the concern.

Maybe I haven't fully recovered

from my illness yet.

And, I think it's too windy today.

Why don't I

hire a physician for you?

Marquis Lu, please don't trouble yourself.

We're returning to our residence.

Seventh Lady.

Regarding the things you said on that day,

what did you mean by that?

Marquis Lu, I wonder which day you're referring to.

That day, you said,

"At most, I'll die again."

Even if I were to

die again today,

I won't let you hold me hostage and blackmail Third Brother!

Maybe

it's because I was seriously ill previously.

Since my life was in danger,

maybe I spouted some nonsense on a whim.

Qing Qu,

let's hurry and bid farewell to Young Lady Zhao.

He's so cruel.

He knew that I was allergic to foxtail grass.

Even so, he used it to test me.

I barely held it in just now.

My hands are so itchy.

Young Lady, you should hurry and take your medicine.

Now, he's even more suspicious of me.

We have to be wary of him in the future.

Young Lady, Third Young Master is here.

Tell him to leave.

Why can't I be here?

I heard that you returned from Duke Ying's Residence abruptly.

Why are you hiding your face?

There are rashes on my face.

That's why I returned in advance.

What are you doing here

instead of studying in your room?

What's with the sudden rashes?

Shao'an, go and get the medicine.

It's fine. No need for that.

Qing Qu already gave me some medicine.

- I'll be fine after taking it. - Hurry and go.

Does it still itch?

What's with the silly grin?

Third Brother, you treat me the best indeed.

You have to be careful in the future.

Tell them to take this with them everywhere you guys go.

Xue Zhi,

bring Third Brother's new outfit here.

Third Brother,

I made you some new outfits.

You can take them with you

when you attend the imperial examination.

I'll be taking an exam.

Why should I take new outfits with me?

If I fail the exam, can I blame it on the new outfits you make?

Take it as a symbol of luck.

By wearing them,

it's as if I'm watching over you.

So you can pass it with flying colors.

The mushroom you designed

looks pretty good.

That's the leaf of a ginkgo tree.

Forget it.

You don't need to take it if you dislike it.

I can tell now.

You already gave it to me.

How could you take it back?

Stay inside the residence

when I'm gone.

Do not run around, understood?

Just go and take your exam.

Stop meddling with my affairs.

(A few days later)

(Luo's Residence)

Everyone, come and take a look!

It's great news for the Luo's Residence!

Luo Shenyuan is the top scorer of the provincial exam!

Great news for the Luo's Residence!

Luo Shenyuan is the top scorer of the provincial exam!

I'm here to deliver the golden flower post

to you under the minister's order

to congratulate Luo Shenyuan on being the top scorer of the exam!

(Capital)

(Top Scorer, Luo Shenyuan)

My goodness.

You do intend to achieve a triple success, huh?

I'll notify Old Madam later.

We'll hold another Top Scorer Feast for you.

The Top Scholar Feast was already luxurious enough.

We should forget

about the Top Scorer Feast.

Achieving double success is an honorable achievement, you know?

How could we just forget about it?

There are plenty of people who had achieved double success.

Don't you think we're going too far

by holding two feasts in a row?

Am I going too far?

I wonder who was the one

who stared at the golden flower post for so long

until his eyes were going to pop.

So,

you can hold it if you like. I'll follow your will. Happy now?

All right.

Mother.

Father is right.

We can forget about the feast.

The imperial exam is nearing.

I need to prepare for it.

My son, you're right.

We'll hold a bigger feast for you

once you become an imperial scholar.

You agree with everything Shenyuan says.

But you disagree with everything I say, huh?

Yeah, yeah.

My dear, you like people who can keep you happy.

It's a shame that I don't know how to do that.

Enough already. Let's eat.

What?

Let's eat.

You want us to eat?

Do you want to eat here?

Am I not allowed to eat here?

That's not it.

You've been visiting me too often lately.

I'm still not used to it.

Yining, Shenyuan,

you two should join us too.

I'll instruct the cooks to prepare a few more dishes.

We can celebrate Shenyuan's success in advance.

Okay.

(Study With Diligence)

Xuan, what are you doing?

Stop throwing them around!

Stop it!

Father.

It's fine that you failed the exam.

We just need to work harder next time

and pass the exam.

Why are you venting your anger on the books?

As literati,

we have to respect the books.

Do you think you can pass the exam

by throwing the books around?

Keep all the books.

Yilian,

do not help him out.

Yes, Father.

What's wrong with her?

I assume she's received the letter.

Her son failed the exam.

She harbors the delusion that she'll be accepted into the residence?

She can keep on dreaming.

She won't take her life, will she?

If she does intend to do that,

it'll be good for us.

At least we don't need to monitor her every day.

Yeah.

We have to report her situation to Madam Chen every day, you know?

Don't let her hear us.

Let's go.

Let's go.

(Luo Xuanyuan failed the provincial examination and did not qualify as a tribute scholar)

I never expected

Luo Shenyuan

to become a grand provincial scholar.

If he becomes an imperial scholar in the future,

he'll become the head

of the Luo Family in the future.

I told you to investigate whether or not that girl was a premature baby.

How did it go?

Strangely enough,

the old servants of Madam Gu

had all vanished without a trace.

I had no way to acquire information.

It's impossible for them to vanish without a trace

unless they're dead.

Continue your investigation.

Yes, Madam.

And,

try to locate the midwife

who delivered her back then.

Understood.

That lass Luo Yining,

I'll let her off as long as she doesn't create trouble for me.

But if she does provoke me one day,

I have my own way of keeping her in check.

If Luo Shenyuan is able to become the head of the family in the future,

we won't be able to lead

comfortable lives.

Shan is a useless fool.

And, we still have a long way to go before we can determine

whether Yu will marry into the Count's Residence or not.

As for Xiu...

Young Master Han,

I don't know what Mother had told you.

There's something I need to tell you...

You want to tell me

that you don't wish to be married to me, right?

Young Master Lin had already told me

about it.

But I think it only counts

if I hear it from you personally.

Young Master Han, I'm sorry.

I've always taken you as my friend.

I never intended to have a relationship with you.

I didn't expect to implicate you in the end.

I'm sorry.

You don't need to apologize.

You'll always be an important person in my life

no matter the result.

But your mother had devoted a lot of effort to set up this date.

I worry she'll make it hard for you if I don't come.

But don't worry.

I've explained it to my mother.

I don't want you

to be upset.

Thank you, Young Master Han.

I'm sure you'll find a partner

who can laugh and eat more than me in the future.

I never knew that you could row boats.

You're pretty good at it too.

To you,

am I a useless fool?

That's not true.

Great.

I loved rowing boats when I was young.

I often did it in my residence.

Sixth Lady,

do you want to try it?

Sure.

Young Master Han is a perfect match for Sixth Lady.

Yeah.

The weather is great as well.

It's perfect for rowing boats.

Indeed.

They're a perfect match indeed.

Don't you think it's a little...

Sixth Lady!

Watch out!

- Help! - Han Jiu!

Young Lady!

Young Lady!

Help!

Young Master!

Someone! Save them!

- Yes, sir! - Save them!

Young Master!

Someone!

Young Lady!

Young Lady!

Someone!

Sixth Lady has fallen into the water!

Ms. Zhao!

Someone! Sixth Lady has...

Ms. Zhao, you must stop!

I need to save Young Lady! Someone!

Young Lady!

Come and save our lady!

Someone!

Third Brother,

have you finished packing your belongings

for the imperial examination?

Do you lack anything?

Nope.

I haven't finished the essentials you prepared last time.

The imperial exam is up next.

Don't feel pressured

even though you'll definitely pass the exam.

Although it's easy, the ruler's intention is hard to predict.

Put this over there.

No matter how good my essays and articles are,

garnering His Majesty's admiration is still vital.

Mr. Sun is His Majesty's teacher.

I'm sure he knows how to please His Majesty the best.

Now, you're already a grand provincial scholar.

And, he also recommended you.

I assume you'll receive a high position after joining the officialdom.

That's not enough.

Just proceed with caution, then.

Third Brother, with your aspirations,

I'm sure you can rise to success

and achieve your dream.

Young Master,

I'll pack this outfit on your behalf.

- All right. - Don't move!

Isn't that the outfit I made for you?

You didn't wear it, huh?

Why didn't you wear it?

You detest it, don't you?

It's not that Young Master detests it.

He can't bear to wear it.

He wishes he could worship this outfit if he could.

Outfits are made to be worn.

Wear it right now.

I'll wear it during the imperial exam.

No. You have to wear it now.

Yining!

Sixth Uncle?

I've finally found you!

Go and check on Yixiu on my behalf!

She fell into the water!

So, Young Master Han rescued you?

Someone saw him carrying you from the water

to the shore.

How could you be so careless?

If news of this gets out,

your reputation will be ruined.

What if Young Master Han

isn't willing to marry you?

What will you do by then?

I don't want to be married to Han Zhao.

I don't want to marry into the Princess's Residence.

Nonsense.

We can't afford to be the target of a scandal like this.

Don't worry.

I'll discuss this with Her Highness.

They intended to establish a marital alliance with us in the first place.

Now that this had happened,

I assume they'll be reasonable about it.

I told you already! I'm not getting married to him!

Enough already.

Yixiu is in a state of shock.

You should stop forcing her.

I'm doing this for her own good.

Xiu's future will be ruined

if we don't resolve this soon.

There are other solutions to this.

Let's give it some thought.

We shouldn't rush to discuss the marriage proposal with Her Highness.

I'm afraid

there's no other solution to this.

Establishing a marital alliance is the best solution.

First Master,

you spend most of your time away from home.

I've been managing the family all this while.

Regarding this matter,

it's better for you to heed my will.

You...

♪It's complicated but I'm not afraid♪

♪There's light in my heart♪

♪Following the river of time♪

♪I dive into the whirlpool♪

♪For the sake of you and mine♪

♪In search of an outcome♪

♪I'm willing to risk my life♪

♪To break the chain of nights♪

♪I'm willing to fall into the abyss♪

♪In order to reveal the fate♪

♪Forget about the outcome♪

♪Let me be your shoulder to lean on♪

♪Even if things go south, so be it♪

♪Love is a voyage with you by my side♪

♪The dust eventually settles♪

♪No matter how fragile and trivial I am♪

♪I will dance and shine bright♪

♪I overcome all kinds of doubt♪

♪And obstacles♪

♪For the sake of you and mine♪

♪Committing to my promise♪

♪I'm willing to risk my life♪

♪May my existence shine on more♪

♪Let go of everything♪

♪Let the longing fade♪

♪Forget about the outcome♪

♪As long as it fulfills the vastness of love♪

♪Even if things go south, so be it♪

♪Love is you being by my side♪
