FENGYANG PALACE

Young Master Liu.

I request an audience with the Princess.

This way, please.

Your Highness.

Young Master Liu,

I feared you wouldn't come.

Your Highness, do not go to Xingshan Hall.

However long you wait, you won't see me there.

Don't do anything beneath you.

Or others will judge you.

Please keep your promise and forget about me.

After today, you won't see me again.

What's so good about her?

I mean Miss Mu.

What does she have that I don't?

She's leaving you,

but you can't let it go.

Tell me why.

Yao is

not as tough as she looks.

Five years ago,

when I was badly injured chasing a great demon,

she saved my life.

She was always cold and quiet.

That was after the massacre of her family.

No one believed a young girl like her could revive the Mu Family.

Everyone was waiting to see her fail.

But she didn't give up.

She and Sheng kept catching demons while looking for the Resentful Woman

to send a message that as long as she was alive,

the hundreds-of-years-old Mu Family would thrive again someday.

Although Sheng was the closest to her,

he never saw her being the slightest bit weak once.

But I did.

She couldn't look fragile or helpless in front of others,

but she told how lost she felt

to a strange Demon Catcher

because he was in a coma.

He couldn't tell anyone else.

However, she didn't know I had woken up on the first day.

I just couldn't move.

They killed everyone

except me and Sheng.

I'll look after him.

I'll show everyone that

the Mu Family didn't fall.

From that day on,

I could hear her pouring out her troubles

at my bedside every night, although we didn't know each other.

Behind the locked door,

she was still that beloved girl in her family.

She'd miss her parents and worry about her future.

In the face of provocation, she'd quiver with rage.

In the face of insults, she'd cry.

But once the door opened, she'd walk out

as the forever strong master of the Mu Family.

She's highly skilled, proud and aloof.

She takes everything upon herself,

on her thin shoulders.

She tries to protect everyone around her.

We've been traveling together to this day.

However,

she hasn't opened her heart to me again.

Your Highness,

Yao is the love of my life.

I once wished I was

the Heavenly Demon Catcher in the prophecy.

Then I could help Yao get her revenge to fulfill her mission.

Even if I'm not,

I want to be there for her and protect her.

That's the best thing in my life.

That's my biggest wish,

whether she knows that or not…

Whether she…

loves me or not…

Tell me.

If that day…

I had got off the carriage

to thank you,

would we have met first?

Things would've been different between us,

right?

There are no ifs.

Your Highness,

I don't love you,

but I respect you.

That's why you can't go to Xingshan Hall.

You're a wonderful girl. You deserve the best man in the world.

I'm sure you'll find him.

Peiyun, give me some space, please.

You may leave.

What did you say?

Yu agreed to marry me because of that bracelet?

Impossible!

As normal as it seems, it is dark and evil.

That witch from Qilin Mountain used it to enchant your father.

No way!

This is unheard of.

Everyone in and out of the court and the harem

was watching Her Highness and His Majesty, who wasn't enthroned then.

Your father was bewitched.

That's the last thing Her Highness wants to talk about.

I'll pretend I didn't see that bracelet.

Get rid of it before she's enraged.

Remember, stay away from anything evil.

Don't bring disasters upon yourself.

I knew it.

Miss Lin didn't hit her head.

How come she suddenly fell for you?

Now, that explains it.

Actually, I'm in love with someone.

-Did you also fall for me at first sight? -No, I didn't.

It's worthless.

Marquis.

Let's get married!

Yu,

do you like Mu Ziqi?

No.

I like you.

You're gorgeous, My Lady.

If the late Marquis could see such a beautiful daughter-in-law,

he'd be happy too.

What was Ruoshi's father like?

He was born with a talent. He was handsome, charming,

kind and easygoing, a perfect gentleman.

Back then, in the capital, he was the most popular man.

No wonder Ruoshi is also sweet and good-looking.

Like father, like son in terms of personality.

His father looked better, though.

It's a pity that he died at a young age.

You're right.

When Dowager Consort Zhao chose a girl for his father to marry,

he said he'd see the world first.

When he returned over a year later,

he'd become someone else,

drowning himself in sorrow and alcohol

and ignoring all state and domestic affairs.

Then he was almost killed in the assassination.

Perhaps terror made him weak.

It wasn't long before he became too sick and passed away.

Who was the assassin?

I think it was a child.

-A child? -Only six or seven years old.

About your fiancé's age then. More or less.

I heard the same.

He was ragged and wore a strange hairband,

but he looked fierce like a little beast.

Quite terrifying.

Hairband?

When did that happen?

Over ten years ago.

Hey, don't tell others I said this.

My brother worked at the Astronomical Bureau then.

He said that assassin seemed to come from Qilin Mountain.

He was a demon!

-A demon? -A demon?

That's right.

Assassin!

…only to find out what happened at Qilin Mountain.

Qilin Mountain?

That place

was…

was my home, I think.

Ziqi…

Whatever happened there might be related to his background!

-Where are you going, My Lady? -I need to see a friend. It's important!

My Lady, what can be more important than your wedding?

-Yes. -Complete the ceremony first.

The guests are in Xingshan Hall waiting for you and the Marquis.

That's right.

Yes, our wedding comes first.

My Lady, please put on these bracelets.

Oh no! Miss Lin is getting changed inside.

She needs to wear the bride's bracelets.

My Lord.

My Lord.

Oh no! Oh no!

There you are.

Yu…

Yu…

Yu…

Do I look pretty in this gown?

Uh, the bracelet…

You didn't change it?

I thought about it. You gave it to me as a love token.

I want to wear it on our wedding day. It's special.

Finish your wedding first. Other things can wait.

Ziqi…

-Ziqi! -Stop, Miss Lin!

-Lu Jiu! -You said you'd marry our Marquis!

Let her go.

My Lord!

I made a mistake. I thought you liked me.

If you don't, I'll let you go.

Are you going to see Mu Ziqi?

Go ahead. Don't miss him.

You…

The years were chaotic and speechless

I'm sorry.

No need to apologize to me.

Yu,

do you remember I said I'd give you whatever you wanted?

So I won't force you to take what you don't like.

I'm grateful to have you by my side

Let this

I may be wild and self-willed,

but I'm still a man

of my word.

How many sleepless nights In solitude are spent

Breaking through fate

Let this

Fragmented soul reshape a world

Etching my name in joy and sorrow

Why fear a mortal body and the past

Just to protect you

Before I met you

The years were chaotic and speechless

You are…

a hero!

Annotate the years with my life

Darkness cannot devour all hope

You took it off and left?

I thought you'd stay!

I'm grateful to have you by my side

Let this

We've been together for so long.

How come you aren't attracted to me?

Why, Jiu?

Uh…

Let this

Yu…

Etching my name in joy and sorrow

QINGYI MARQUIS MANSION

Just to protect you

Haws on a stick!

Ziqi! Ziqi!

Sister Mu? Sister Mu?

Excuse me,

where are those Demon Catchers who came with me?

It's you, Miss. They checked out and left.

They left?

What about Mu Ziqi who wears a hairband?

He left too. They went separate ways.

Did they leave me any letters or messages?

No.

Oh, your room hasn't been checked out. Do you still need it?

Cuicui, can you conjure up some flowers?

You can't confess without flowers.

There's one more thing, that is absolutely necessary.

What is it?

A swing chair.

Stop!

There's no surprise inside.

-Let's go on shopping. -Surprise? Like what?

It's hard to explain the reason

Why I only care

About holding you close

Countless threads of sorrow

Are banished when your tears glide

Countless people in the world

I just fall in love with you

Even want to change my destined mission

Longing seeps into my bones

Yet there's nowhere to grow old together

In this life, I've kissed your brow

I've been saved

Don't cry

I've held your hand Tracing your palm lines

The wind and snow aren't cruel

In this chaotic world, you gaze at me

It's a scene of my rebirth

Loving you completes my life

It's hard to explain the reason

Why I only care

About holding you close

Countless threads of sorrow

Are banished when your tears glide

Countless people in the world

I just fall in love with you

Even want to change my destined mission

Longing seeps into my bones

Yet there's nowhere to grow old together

In this life, I've kissed your brow

I've been saved

Don't cry

I've held your hand Tracing your palm lines

The wind and snow aren't cruel

In this chaotic world, you gaze at me

It's a scene of my rebirth

Why are you crying?

Ziqi?

Didn't you leave?

This is bad. He's gone.

Hey, shoot.

-Are you looking for me? -Mu Sheng, you didn't leave?

Who told you I left?

Thank goodness you didn't! Miaomiao wants you to have this.

Why give it to me?

She's getting married.

There's something else I think…

you should see.

Show me.

I'm not sure if you should read it.

I know we shouldn't read others' letters,

but I couldn't help it.

FATHER, I LIKE ZIQI

I WANT TO MARRY HIM

She said she'd marry the Marquis, didn't she?

ZIQI

In this world, there are many things that we cannot control.

Do your best and leave the rest to fate.

Strive hard when it's time to fight for something.

As for the outcome,

we can only make a wish to the wind.

Make a wish?

If we make a wish to the wind, the bamboo dragonfly might fly back to us.

We can't control everything, but let's remain hopeful.

Maybe we'll be surprised.

How high must it fly To meet expectations

The waves say

I'm confused. What's going on?

Oh, little shoot!

Thank you!

Miaomiao!

Wait for me!

Open up an umbrella on a long journey

I'm here for an answer.

The bamboo dragonfly is fixed.

Why didn't you give it to me?

So fly

Even if I encounter storms And crash into flames

Ziqi…

I was meant to

Embrace every surging wave

This world

Has both spectacular and ordinary moments

I'm so sorry…

The next stop

Is calling me from ahead

Now, I know.

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

DOUBLE HAPPINESS

Is calling me from ahead

My Lord,

should we tell the guests the wedding

at Xingshan Hall tonight is…

canceled.

Your Highness.

Why are you here?

I need your help, Your Highness.

My help?

Why are you back?

My Lord, it's me.

Guo Xiu?

What brings you here?

Cultivator Mu Yao asked me to destroy the demon with her.

I need your help, My Lord.

Her Highness appointed me supervisor

without high expectations,

but I will

fulfill my duty.

Your Highness, why did you make me the Saintess?

Your Highness, why is the hall on fire?

Your Highness, why didn't you open the door?

Why is everyone locked inside?

Your Highness! Help, Your Highness!

Zhao Qinru, you cold-blooded monster!

You will know…

TAO YING, CULTIVATOR

…how it feels to kill your own daughter!

Let me go!

Your Highness…

Your Highness.

There he was in my dream…

again.

Your Highness, it's fine. It's not real.

He can no longer kill others.

Your Highness,

bad news!

The Princess…

What about her? Is Min alright?

She seems to be haunted again.

She's wearing a wedding gown to get married in Xingshan Hall.

And she said…

What?

She should've been there 15 years ago!

It's him!

He's back to kill me!

He'll kill me!

Where's Cultivator Mu?

She and the others seem to have left the capital.

I've never seen a Tier nine demon.

To think Crescent's been shaking lately.

That is indeed a bad sign.

Cultivator Mu asked us to lie in wait.

Can she handle the Resentful Woman who is the Queen of Demons?

Shut up, all of you.

She said that great demon would connect the demon core

with the core of the formation to complete it.

When the formation is activated, the demon core will reveal on the top,

making the demon the weakest.

If we act then, we're likely to break her.

But we only have a small window.

If we miss it, things will be nasty.

That's why

we're guarding at a distance.

We cannot alert that demon.

So do not make a sound.

Cultivator Mu, it's time.

Be extra-careful.

I can do it.

Father,

it's my turn to take on the Mus' duties as Demon Catchers

and complete your unfulfilled mission.

I'll kill that demon in the formation.

My life will end today,

but I wish everyone else, including those I love,

peace and happiness.

Yao.

Fuyi?

Whatever lies ahead, you won't take the risk alone.

Miaomiao!

Sheng!

Cuicui!

You're all here.

Yes, we are.

Aren't we of one heart as a team, and we'll never separate?

I haven't become the "Bamboo" of the Four Bamboo Masters, right?

Are you surprised?

We're siblings.

We know each other's unspoken words.

When we played hide-and-seek, you never won.

You think you can make me leave with a few words now?

No way.

Not just you. He almost fooled me too. I also thought he left.

What about you?

Yao, I don't deserve my reputation.

I'm not the legendary Heavenly Demon Catcher

or the one you think

you can rely on.

But…

What is happening today?

It's hard to explain the reason

Why I only care

About holding you close

Countless threads of sorrow

Are banished when your tears glide

Countless people in the world

I just fall in love with you

Even want to change my destined mission

Longing seeps into my bones

Yet there's nowhere to grow old together

In this life, I've kissed your brow

I've been saved

Don't cry

I've held your hand Tracing your palm lines

The wind and snow aren't cruel

In this chaotic world, you gaze at me

It's a scene of my rebirth

Loving you completes my life

It's hard to explain the reason

Countless threads of sorrow

I just fall in love with you

Even want to change my destined mission

Loving you completes
