("After the Ugly Concubine Divorced, She is Wooed By Big Shots of the Capital.")

=Episode 1=

(Ling Chuxia, legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister)

(I am Ling Chuxia, the Prime Minister's daughter)

(I was not fit to be in the same wedding with Lord Ming.)

(I had to wait inside the room.)

(I was drugged right before the wedding.)

(I was too weak to struggle or resist.)

(It was a plot to frame me with adultery)

(so Lord Ming would divorce me.)

You are not Lord Ming. What do you want?

Darn it, she is awake.

Help!

Help me!

(Is this the end of my miserable wife?)

(No, I won't die a dishonorable death.)

(If I could start over,)

(I'd show my younger self)

(how to become stronger.)

(I must avenge my unfortunate fate.)

Who are you?

I know.

You life is miserable.

However,

you must study medicine

and lear martial arts

to better protect yourself.

Then, no one can ever mistreat you again.

Can you take me away?

Actually,

I've always been by your side.

(Endure the darkness so you may shine.)

(Endure, no matter the hardship and suffering.)

You are a hideous jinx.

My mother is the Prime Minister's wife!

(Whether it's your bullying step-siblings,

(or the red mark you got from poisoning)

(that was deem a bad omen,)

(Qu Huiniang, successor wife of Prime Minister) She can't marry Lord Ming like this.

(Prime Minister Lin) His Majesty betrothed her to him.

We can't say no to this.

(I'll grow strong like the field of grass)

(and become an adult)

(capable of changing my fate.)

(I am me.)

(But I'm not the same in this lifetime.)

(I must escape the Prime Minister's Residence)

(and be free of their control.)

Young Lady, the wedding gown is here.

(Yunniang, the bride's personal servant)

Who picked on you this time?

You need not worry.

The Second Lady is frustrated that she can't

be Lord Ming's bride.

She took it out on me.

I packed up my belongings.

We must go now.

Now?

Yes, before it's too late.

I am never marrying Lord Ming.

Let's go.

(I never thought)

(they anticipated my escape.)

(They drugged me.)

(I can't escape the fate of marrying Lord Ming.)

(No, it's different this time.)O

(I grew up studying medicine.)

Cursed woman!

(They used the same trick as last time.)

(They tried to ruin my honor)

(with this loathsome scheme.)

My Lord.

Is she married to Lord Ming?

Yes.

(Lie Feng, Lord Ling's guard) Lord Ling attended the banquet.

My Lord.

Are you going to let her marrying Lord Ming?

Aren't you...

(Liang Junye, Lord Ling) I have my plans.

Ling Chuxia.

How dare you cheat on me on the day of our wedding?

Cheat?

(Liang Ziyan, Lord Ming) My Lord, help me.

Miss Ling's urge was too great.

She forced herself on me.

(So, I knew it was your plan.)

Scram!

Shameless woman.

I caught you red-handed.

What excuse do you have now?

Guards! Drag her out of here.

Yes!

Fool.

How could you not see through that trick?

Insolence!

(Ling Qiuqing, concubine's daughter) How dare you insult Lord Ming?

You, come over here.

What do you want?

See?

He is a eunuch.

How can we have an affair?

Even the worse fool can see

the reason behind this.

Ling Chuxia, you are...

Whatever.

Since you clearly hate me,

(Letter of Betrothal) I'll divorce you right away.

This marriage is null and void.

Ling Chuxia, are you out of your mind?

You dare divorce me?

No woman has ever divorced her husband in Great Yue!

Guards! Seize her!

Ziyan.

I hurried to your wedding.

What happened here?

(What is Lord Ling doing here?)

Sorry, Lord Ling.

It's a misunderstanding.

Really?

All the fuss is about a misunderstanding?

That could tarnish the royal family's image.

Lord Ling.

Are you intervening my marriage?

I wonder if you are ready

to explain this to Prime Minister Ling?

Guards.

Get this eunuch out off here.

Yes.

- Move! - Lord Ming, have mercy! I've been set up!

Anyone who dares speak a word about this

will suffer the same fate.

Someone clearly wants to harm the lady.

Lord Ling, I must take my leave now.

I doubt there will be a wedding afterward.

Lord Ming! Wait for me!

(Why did Lord Ling help me?)

Hideous witch! Jinx!

It pains the Prime Minister to see this face.

You brought death to your mom and uncle.

(They accused me of adultery)

(and executed me. )

(I wanted to preserve my honor and leave this place,)

(but you wouldn't relent.)

(This time,)

(No one can pick on me.)

(From now on,)

(I'll return the pain you inflict)

(ten times over.)

Young Lady.

I wanted to find you at Lord Ming's Residence.

Why did you come back?

Did they give you a hard time?

(As it turns out, someone still cares about me.)

Sit.

I thought they would relent

if I took a step back.

But it looks like

I was dead wrong.

Young Lady,

what do we do next?

(The dowry mother gave me is still in Lord Ming's Residence.)

(I must retrieve what's mine.)

We'll treat the mark on my face.

They were unkind to me.

I have no need

for this mark anymore.

We are leaving.

And we will leave gloriously.

♪Whose young lad is that, sitting idly on the porch?♪

♪The spring of plum blossoms intoxicates, apricot flowers bloom gold in the mist♪

♪Rain falls gently on banana leaves, fish play beneath the lotus pads♪

♪Gazing at the green mountains, they blend into the distant horizon♪

♪The wild geese call out, sharing their heartfelt thoughts♪

♪Looking at the bright moon, sending thoughts of longing♪

♪Neither burdening nor forgetting♪

♪At sunset, the sound of Zen echoes♪

♪Sweeping away the dust and frost from the heart♪

♪Holding hands with the one who knows me best, we face each other♪

♪Gazing at the green mountains, they blend into the distant horizon♪

♪The wild geese call out, sharing their heartfelt thoughts♪

♪Looking at the bright moon, sending thoughts of longing♪

♪Neither burdening nor forgetting♪

♪Watching the smoke gently rise♪

♪We share the long, leisurely years together♪

♪Free and content♪

♪The greatest joy in life is the beautiful springtime♪
