Stop it! This is enough!

- These are a lot! - They're newly dried.

More than enough for 20 grandfathers!

Miaomiao,

wait!

Don't break the petals.

Easy.

Move! Move!

My Lord! My Lord!

- What's up? - Miss Lin is outside.

She's here already?

Let's go!

Get the musicians ready!

- Come on. Let's go! - Let's go!

Put it here.

Go, go!

Miaomiao,

no rush.

It's still early.

Cuicui,

you seem strange.

Are you hiding something from me?

No, I'm not.

Look at you

lying through your teeth!

No, I'm not. I swear!

Mu Sheng didn't threaten to

turn me into shredded bamboo shoots.

Shredded bamboo shoots?

What is Ziqi doing?

Stop!

There's no surprise inside.

Let's go on shopping.

Surprise? Like what?

How did you know that?

You just told me.

It's too nice of him.

He drove me away

to prepare a surprise for me.

Although you've figured it out,

you have to act surprised.

Otherwise,

Mu Sheng will be disappointed.

No problem.

I'll be more surprised than ever.

Come on. Let's go.

Music!

Start!

Miaomiao.

Miaomiao.

Your acting is so convincing!

I... I'm not acting.

Mu Sheng must've spent a fortune

just to tell you he likes you.

He what?

Come on.

I didn't sleep well

or freshen up or do my hair.

This isn't my best dress either.

You are perfect.

Go ahead.

Go.

So touching!

I love seeing such romance.

Zhao Ruoshi?

Higher, higher!

Up, up!

No, no!

Lower, lower!

Down, go down!

Go up. Up!

No, no!

Up! Head up, feet down.

Down, down!

Up, up. Go up!

Down... Up, up!

What's...?

What are you doing?

My Lord! My Lord!

Down, go down!

Are you alright?

Marquis?

What are you doing here?

Huh? What?

What are you doing here?

Stop it! Stop!

Stop.

Another one, another one!

Not this.

Come on!

Miss Lin,

I've kept this to myself for too long.

I have to let it out.

- You know, I... - So...

It's you.

You prepared all these.

Yes.

I wasn't sure what you'd like,

so I...

Stop!

Enough!

Stop.

Stop playing it.

You don't like this at all?

Marquis.

Come with me.

Miao...

Wh...What are you doing here?

Uh,

what are you doing?

I...

What are you doing?

Oh no!

Bad news!

Come with me!

Sorry, Miss Lin.

I didn't mean to upset you.

No, I'm not.

Sorry,

I overreacted.

Please forgive me.

No need to apologize, Miss Lin.

It's my fault. Please don't be mad.

No, no, I'm not.

I wasn't prepared to see that.

It wasn't what I thought.

I'm not mad.

I... uh...

No man has ever done this to me.

It was too grand.

I found it a bit too much.

I'm glad you aren't mad.

I see you aren't into this style.

Miss Lin,

can you give me another chance?

I'll take you to a place

where we won't be disturbed.

It's going to be beautiful

and tranquil...

Sorry,

I can't do that.

What happened?

Uh...

Where's she?

She was right here.

Maybe she's in the back.

Come on.

Actually, I'm in love with someone.

You...

You are, really?

Did you also

fall for me at first sight?

No, I didn't.

I'm sorry,

Marquis.

You did all that for nothing.

Don't blame yourself.

You've found love.

I'm happy for you.

Oh,

here's something for you,

a wooden bracelet.

It's nothing expensive.

Keep it

as a memento.

What are they saying?

I can't hear it clearly.

I can't take it.

It's worthless.

Miss Lin,

I wish you two

forever happiness.

Hold on, please.

Marquis,

let's get married!

We've decided to

get married on the eighth.

His wedding with the Princess

was scheduled on that day.

Now he's marrying me. That's all.

That's all?

Do you know what you're saying?

I do.

I insist

that all of you stay

and attend our wedding.

Sister,

she...

she...

She's crazy!

Miaomiao,

do you really like Marquis?

Yes, of course.

Perhaps

this is better.

Better? How?

Are you crazy too, Sister?

It's so sudden.

We can't predict love.

It just happens

before we know it.

It only takes a moment to fall in love.

Who knows?

It makes sense.

Not at all!

Miss Lin, the carriage is outside.

His Lordship is waiting for you.

Coming.

Goodbye, Ziqi.

Miao...

Sister,

we just let her go?

She's from a prominent family.

She'll live a well-off life

in the Marquis Mansion.

It's better than drifting with us.

- She's out. - She's out.

She'll become Mrs. Zhao.

- I heard - It's her?

Marquis refused to marry

Princess Duanyang for her.

Are they judging me?

No.

They're envious of me.

Let's go.

Hold on!

- Come here. - What are you doing?

Hey, you...

It's fine. Don't mind him.

What's going on?

Why did she go back?

What's happening?

Don't know.

What are you doing, Ziqi?

Are you brain-damaged?

Are you insane?

Or are you haunted?

I'm not insane or haunted!

Are you doing this

to make me mad?

Why would I make you mad?

Are you really going to marry that fool?

Yes.

And don't call him a fool!

Relax. I'm not haunted.

I'm fine.

See? I'm perfectly normal.

Fine. Check all you want.

Are you done?

Ruoshi is still waiting outside.

Hurry.

"Ruoshi"?

Are you on a first-name basis already?

We're getting married.

What else should I call him?

Enough. I am fine.

Who gave you that bracelet?

Ruoshi.

The sun and the moon

shall reveal all evil.

What are you doing?

What is wrong with you?

Don't break it!

What on earth is happening?

It's been a long while.

Ruoshi.

There she is.

Did he hurt you?

Don't worry.

Ziqi would never hurt me.

That's good.

Let's go.

Uh,

Miss Lin,

I feel as if I'm living in a dream.

Are you really going to marry me?

You...

Why are you here?

My sister's worried.

She sent me to escort you.

We... we don't need you.

I have tons of guards.

Wait, Ruoshi.

After thinking,

I want him to stay.

After all, he's like my family.

With him here,

I'll feel securer.

You're right.

On the wedding day,

he can carry you out.

Thanks.

My Lord,

where are we going?

Fangxia Pavilion in the south.

Yes.

Fangxia Pavilion?

What's that place for?

Their tailors should've come to

measure us for the wedding garments.

But the top masters

working here are

somewhat haughty.

Other than His Majesty,

all clients must book their time first.

We came unbooked.

Let's see the ready-made clothes first.

It's fine.

Picking wedding garments now?

Isn't it too soon?

The sooner, the better.

I just checked the calendar.

Today is a really good day.

My Lord,

given Mrs. Zhao's figure,

she can pick from these wedding gowns

and try them on.

She is not Mrs. Zhao!

- She will be soon. - You...

Ziqi,

can you help me pick?

Which one do you like?

I like the one in the center, too!

Please follow me.

I...

Ruoshi,

look. Is it beautiful?

What's wrong? Tell me.

It does look good,

but I think you look better.

I mean,

its style, tailoring, and design

could've been better.

Is it not good enough?

What can be better than this?

Do you have better ones?

Please wait a minute.

Show them Nimbus, the only piece

our top master made last month.

But he said

its beauty could only be

appreciated by those from 1,000 years later.

It's too avant-garde now.

Marquis has a unique taste.

Just show him.

It is out of this world!

Oh my!

It's as beautiful

as you.

You deserve each other.

If you wear it,

you'll be a fairy.

A fairy?

Miaomiao,

are you going to wear that?

Miss Lin,

do you like it?

I do.

We're indeed like-minded.

Alright. We'll take it.

Where's the counter?

This way, please.

We'll alter it and deliver it

to your place tomorrow.

Are you out of your mind?

Do you really like it?

Yes.

You...

You're lying!

I'm not.

The wedding ceremony is important.

You know,

I like whatever

my love likes.

You call him...

your love?

Ever since we came to the capital,

my mood has been like a roller coaster.

Sometimes I'm over the moon.

Sometimes I hit rock bottom.

I didn't know why

until...

I met Ruoshi.

♪From time to time, place to place♪

Ziqi,

although you're always mean to me

and you find me annoying,

I know

you care about me.

I care about you?

Nonsense!

You're thinking too much.

I've never liked you since the beginning.

And now,

I dislike you even more.

Why?

No reason.

I dislike

everyone in the world

except my sister.

You're no exception either.

It turns out...

I was wrong about you.

♪The unsaid words are the loudest♪

It'll be a clear night tonight.

Miss Lin,

you'll be my wife

after the wedding ceremony.

But in the meantime,

calling you "Miss Lin" is a bit strange.

What should I call you then?

Call me whatever you like.

Your name is Lin Yu.

How about I call you "Yu"?

Sure.

Or maybe "Miaomiao"?

I heard your friends such as Mu Ziqi

call you that.

"Miaomiao" sounds cute

and intimate.

I'll call you that.

Just call me Yu.

Why?

I'm used to that name.

Yu it is.

I found

that the Xingshan Hall was

set on fire by a great demon.

That demon was

formidable,

cunning,

but bodiless.

I think he could

only possess someone to show up.

He somehow lured a wizard,

Tao Ying, into working for him.

Tao took advantage of Dowager Consort Zhao's dependence

on talismans and spells

to gain her trust.

It wasn't long

before she

firmly believed that evil-doer

with witchcraft.

But he was only that demon's puppet.

What was that demon up to?

I checked all the records in the Astronomical Bureau

and found only a few clues.

They were enough to help me

put together the truth, though.

14 years ago,

Tao Ying talked

Dowager Consort Zhao into building

the Xingshan Hall for people's welfare.

But actually, she meant to use him

to gain His Majesty's favor

and climb up the ladder.

So he set up an evil formation.

And he made...

this drawing of that hall.

Life Suction Formation

is the evilest of all.

It sacrifices human lives

to gain supreme demonic power.

The more the sacrifices,

the greater the power.

If a demon uses this formation to kill

hundreds or even thousands of humans,

the demonic power generated

will be able to shake the world,

and that demon will be immortal.

Immortal?

Meaning it can't be killed?

Yes.

So someone must find

the core of the formation

and break it

before the formation is complete.

(Hutian Wonderland)

Life Suction Formation?

It...

It's rarely seen.

(Drawing of the Xingshan Hall) And it's deeply hidden under the base.

The seniors at the Astronomical Bureau

didn't find it.

You had a glance and found it?

Carry on.

Back then,

Dowager Consort Zhao took Tao's advice.

She sent a girl she found somewhere

to pray in that hall as the Saintess.

Tao's hundreds of followers

also came.

That evil formation

almost worked that night.

Luckily, a top master

from a house of Demon Catchers

happened to be there

and destroyed

Tao and that demon's plot.

That top master was

your father, Mu Huaijiang.

Stop drinking and eat.

You go ahead.

I'll drink.

Your cup is full.

Don't drink too much.

I'm fine.

Eat up, Yu.

Here.

Stop, or you'll be too drunk to walk.

No way.

I can walk.

Lu Jiu!

I... I'll go get more liquor.

- Be careful! - Jiu!

- My Lord... - Jiu...

Are you drunk already?

Go.

I'm happy!

Go get more liquor! More!

Go! More liquor!

You can drink a lot and stay sober.

How come you're stoned already?

I'm excited!

- Miss Lin, - Too excited!

normally, he isn't like this.

He can hold his liquor.

I'll get him some hangover soup.

You stay with him.

Thank you, Miss Lin.

No... No rush, Yu.

You shouldn't have let her go.

What were you thinking?

Be careful, Yu!

Who is it?

My Lord...!

Lu Jiu,

what happened?

Where's Ruoshi?

It... it hurts...!

- Zhao Ruoshi. - Where am I?

What did you do to Miaomiao?

Who are you?

Where's Yu?

Why did she suddenly fall for you?

Tell me now.

I didn't do anything.

Let me go!

Yu...

Hands off!

Leave her alone

if you want to live.

She's my fiancée.

Why should I leave?

I'll kill you!

I won't let her go,

alive or dead!

Ziqi!

Ruoshi!

Yu...

Are you alright?

Can you hear me?

Wake up!

Miaomiao...

You...

Are you afraid of me?

You were

the only one

who wasn't afraid of the real me.

But now, you're scared.

I...

I'm not.

I'm not scared of you, Ziqi.

Liar!

I'm not, really.

You're lying...

(Peiyu, Humble Civilian)

Peiyu!

Sister!

Peiyu!

Sister!

Sister!

Help me, Sister!

- Peiyu! - Sister!

Peiyu!

Peiyun,

has your hatred reduced?

No, never!

Peiyu,

eat up.

I brought you your favorite cakes.

They'll

rebuild the hall soon.

I can't come here to talk to you again.

I'm the worst sister!

I can't avenge your death!

Whose nightmare sounds

so bitter?

Trust me, Master.

I've waited

seven long years for revenge.

The wedding ceremony

will go ahead on the eighth

as you hoped.

You remind me of that person

I found over a decade ago.

He was also struggling in hatred,

willing to sacrifice himself

to avenge his loved ones' deaths.

My plan would've succeeded

if

that Demon Catcher hadn't interfered.

I was badly injured.

It's been over ten years. I'm still weak.

This time,

I will succeed,

and you'll get your revenge.

But Mu Yao

and Liu Fuyi are highly skilled.

They might ruin everything.

The Mu Family?

If they show up,

I'll settle the score with them!

(There's the hidden formation.)

(It seems familiar.)

(It's...)

(It's Father's power!)

(But why?)

(Why didn't he)

(kill that demon but seal him instead?)

(Xingshan Hall)

(Unless he couldn't)

(because this here is a Tier 9 demon.)
