Miss Jiangjuan.
(Serenity Amidst Nature)
Miss Jiangjuan.
Luo
Why are you everywhere?
Miss Jiangjuan,
have you missed me
these past few days?
Aren't you and Xuan Lie
supposed to be dead,
accused of being spies?
Miss Jiangjuan,
so you now know who we really are now.
Qimin and Qiluo
have told us about you.
Did you get hurt?
How could I possibly get hurt?
I'm the Deputy General of Beixuan.
I've fought alongside
Young Master for years.
I'm not dying that easily.
Right, I almost forgot.
Xuan Lie forced Qiluo to jump off a cliff,
and caused my father to injure his legs.
You're his lackey, aren't you?
You're an accomplice!
I'll beat you to a pulp!
Miss Jiangjuan!
- Stop!
- What are you doing?
I can explain.
Wait, I have to tell my father right now.
How did you and Luo Qi
manage to escape?
Why didn't you
let me know right away?
That day
Luo Qi!
We hid in the cellar
and disguised the bodies
of two soldiers as our own.
That's how we escaped.
After that,
we planned to tell you right away,
but the city was heavily guarded.
I didn't dare to come out.
But I'm glad
you're so upset
about my fake death.
I'm glad
this incident showed me
how much you care about me.
You're happy, huh?
I've been miserable these days.
But anyway,
we're even now.
Don't make me worry again.
So, I don't need to return to Beixuan?
You need to go.
You're the Wolf Lord of Beixuan.
I can't be at ease with you here.
Qingkou and He Jiyao
are in the old residence of the Juns.
Go find them now
and take them back with you.
Alright.
If I return to Beixuan,
will you come with me?
Are you really going back?
You
Mr. Jun
Are you Xuan Lie?
You're not welcome in our family.
Please leave now.
- Father!
- Enough.
Leave Yannan immediately
and never step foot
in the Jun Mansion again!
Qiluo,
if he dies,
I won't oppose your relationship.
But since he's alive,
you cannot see him anymore.
Father,
I know you're worried about me.
But after this,
I've made up my mind.
I want to be with him.
You
I can't lie to myself anymore.
I've never forgotten him.
Nonsense!
Who are you,
and who is he?
How can you two be together?
Qiluo, Father's right.
If it weren't for Xuan Lie,
you wouldn't have jumped the cliff,
Father wouldn't have injured his legs,
and our business
wouldn't have been taken by Jun Yujue.
He's to blame for the troubles in our family.
How can you be with such a person?
I think we wrongly blame him
for Father's injury.
I know him.
He wouldn't do that.
Honestly, this whole mess
is my fault.
Qiluo, you're smart, but why do you
lose your mind
when it comes to Xuan Lie?
She's right, Qiluo.
You two are not a good match.
Alright.
Leave us alone.
I need to talk to Qiluo alone.
Qiluo,
I hope you find a good husband.
If he were from an ordinary family,
I wouldn't stop you.
You're Baigong's heir.
If the King finds out
you're with the Wolf Lord of Beixuan
and carrying his child,
what will he think?
Now Beixuan and Yannan
are in peace talks.
Things won't be as tense as before.
Maybe
it won't be so difficult for him and me.
Father,
if you ask me to give up now,
I'll regret it for the rest of my life.
I just want you to be well.
I can't control much now.
There's no room for this.
I won't allow you to be with him!
(Haven of Bliss)
Young Master,
they've learned about
how you mistreated Miss Jun,
and tricked Mr. Jun
into the Chiyan Gorge.
Miss Jiangjuan beat me up because of it.
Also, I'm afraid Mr. Jun
won't allow you to see Miss Jun again.
What did you just say?
I just said that I'm afraid Mr. Jun
won't allow you to see Miss Jun again.
- Young Master, I told you
- Chiyan Gorge?
I sent people to the Execution Valley,
not the Chiyan Gorge.
Yes, that's right.
So someone else must have
changed the location
to murder Mr. Jun.
Why are you just standing here?
Greet the Young Master.
Young Master.
You are alive!
That's great.
Alright, alright.
Stop it.
Where is Qingkou?
My apologizes.
Last night, she knocked me out.
I don't know where she is now.
What?
The soldiers are still searching
for Beixuan spies.
Let's go find her.
No need, I'm right here.
Lie!
I knew you wouldn't die so easily.
Are you alright?
Me?
I'm fine.
The situation here is tense.
Tomorrow, He Jiyao will
escort you back to Beixuan.
I'm not going.
Qingkou,
this is not a game.
I know.
Qingming and I are married.
I slept with him last night.
What did you say?
Did Shao Qimin force you?
Lie,
he didn't force me.
I did it voluntarily.
I like him.
I want him to be my husband.
Xuan Lie,
I knew you were alive.
You don't even like Qingkou.
Why did you ruin her innocence?
This is between her and me.
It's none of your business.
Qingkou is the Princess of Beixuan,
and also my closest cousin.
If you dare hurt her,
I will never let you off.
If you dare hurt Miss Jun,
I will kill you.
Though Qingkou is naughty,
she's truly sensitive inside.
She came to Yannan to see you,
and you spent a night together.
Please don't break her heart again.
I admit the person
who married me is Qingkou,
but the only person
I care about is Miss Jun.
Qiluo is under my care.
Don't worry about her.
(Jun Mansion)
Jiangjuan?
Qiluo,
Father said you're not feeling well
and should rest in your room.
I'm feeling better now.
I'm going to the shop.
Xiukun is there.
No need to worry, Qiluo.
Father forbids me from going out?
Qiluo, don't blame him for this.
If you go out,
you'll go see Xuan Lie.
I've always supported your choices,
but this time, I'm on Father's side.
Xuan Lie is my future nephew's father,
but you two cannot be together.
After you give birth to the child,
we'll raise it ourselves.
We won't need him.
Young Master, the Juns
(Haven of Bliss)
are on high alert.
They won't let us in
or Miss Jun out.
How can you be so calm
and just sit here drinking tea?
They are Qiluo's family.
They know my past with Qiluo,
and my true identity.
So they won't approve of us.
Rushing in won't help.
We need a step-by-step approach
to crack the Jun family
from within.
Mr. Jun will be
the toughest nut to crack.
Miss Xiukun
follows his lead religiously,
so she's a dead end.
That leaves
Miss Jiangjuan,
the most straightforward one.
We'll start with her.
Thank you.
You're right.
If we can get Miss Jiangjuan
on our side,
it's like having an ally
in the Jun family.
Then I believe
you'll be able to persuade
other Juns soon.
I'll leave this matter to you.
If you fail, don't come back.
How could I, the Deputy General,
crawl in through a dog hole?
Ridiculous!
Young Master,
having a subordinate like me,
you'll have no regrets.
I knew you'd come in from here.
Been waiting for you, you dog.
Please don't hit me!
I'm here to give you a novel.
(The Shattered Jade Goddess)
See? A novel.
A novel?
The Prince loves the Fifth Lady.
They've been through so much together.
The Prince even risked his life
several times to save her.
He would rather go against everyone,
but love her alone.
True.
Miss Jiangjuan,
actually, the hero and heroine I created
are Young Master and Miss Jun.
The Prince here is Young Master,
and the Fifth Lady is Miss Jun.
What did you say?
So
The stories in it are all true?
Of course.
Young Master and Miss Jun
have been through so much together.
He loves her deeply
and he's willing to do
everything for her.
And Miss Jun also loves Young Master.
What you heard before
wasn't true.
Alright,
my beautiful and kind Miss Jiangjuan,
can you truly bear to see
a loving couple
torn apart?
One string of coins and 300 wen each
Didn't expect you to come.
Jiangjuan is on watch outside.
How did you get in here?
Thanks to Luo Qi's help.
Here you are.
You're pregnant.
You might feel unwell sometimes.
I had the physician
prescribe some herbs.
You can carry them
with you to ease the nausea.
You can't
walk around freely yet.
Why did you go to the physician?
Don't worry.
I disguised myself,
and no one recognized me.
I came to discuss
something important with you.
Mr. Jun encountered bandits
at the Uncontrollable.
It was a deliberate setup.
My father was in Qian City.
The letter was sent
from Beixuan to the Juns,
and then forwarded by Uncle to my father.
Uncle must have tampered with the letter.
Besides him,
I can't think of anyone else who would do this.
You met bandits in the Uncontrollable.
It must have been their doing too.
The Jun family's second branch
wants to kill you.
I originally thought
my uncle and cousin
were merely jealous of me,
wanting to take control of the family.
I didn't expect
they'd hired assassins.
They've framed you many times.
What's your plan?
I don't have any evidence right now.
They won't admit to anything.
But I will
make them pay for this.
You're pregnant.
Don't overwork yourself.
What do you want to do?
I'll help you.
You can't travel freely now.
I have ways
to deal with them.
I know you have your ways,
but
I want to face this with you.
Back in Beixuan,
I thought I could
handle everything alone.
Unexpectedly,
it created a rift between us.
So whatever happens,
let's face it together, alright?
Qiluo,
I'm glad I came to Yannan.
Otherwise,
I might have lost you.
Even though you look silly,
you do write good novels.
Miss Jiangjuan,
if you like,
I can write for you every day
as long as you don't stop Young Master
from meeting Miss Jun.
If he truly loves Qiluo,
as portrayed in this novel,
I wouldn't mind letting them meet.
Miss Jiangjuan, you're really
You're injured.
I'll get you some medicine.
Why is your face so red?
I I have to go now.
Father
Why is he here?
Hi, Mr. Jun.
Father, why are you here?
Xuan Lie didn't come to see you?
No, Father. I've been guarding the door.
No one came in.
But why is he here?
I left something here earlier,
just came to fetch it.
Father, I saved him
in the prison before.
He's here to thank me with a novel.
If you want to show your gratitude,
don't come here again.
You're right, Father.
Hurry up and leave!
Or I'll beat you up.
Stop it.
Go now!
- Go now!
- Stop it!
- Qiluo.
- Stop it!
Your uncle and Yujue
came to see me today.
They're pleading for your mercy.
But they won't give up
on the family seal.
Do you have any plans?
Father, don't worry.
Just leave it to me.
Chancellor,
Jun Yujue is requesting a meeting,
saying he needs your help with
the Royal Procurement Office order.
What a loser.
So, should we continue helping him?
He's no match for Jun Qiluo.
Continue helping him?
Aren't we just wasting our energy?
By the way,
any news on Jun Qiluo recently?
After Xuan Lie died, she's been at home
and rarely goes out.
The King ordered the Royal Surveillance
to investigate the Beixuan spies, right?
Have you dealt with it yet?
Rest assured, Chancellor.
I reported
the spies' movements anonymously.
The Surveillance couldn't trace it.
May I ask how did you
discover the spies' tracks that day?
Someone secretly delivered this letter.
After I saw it,
I had people check
around the Jun Mansion.
I haven't found any clue
about the messenger yet.
Thank you for informing me.
Guards.
- Yes, sir.
- Check on whoever entered
or left the residence of the Commander.
Yes.
What's wrong with her?
She tried the medicine herself
to make a cure for you while I was away.
I wanted to find Young Master,
but she promised
to keep it a secret for you.
I can only ask for your help.
I won't die.
I'll be fine later.
Who told you to do that for me?
Even if I die
I won't let you die.
Don't worry.
I'll make the cure soon.
♪Flowers fall in front of the courtyard♪
Is it worth it?
♪Seasons change as I look back♪
I've never thought about that.
I'm just thinking
if I find the cure
and save your life,
will you stay with me willingly,
without any regrets?
♪Ripples shatter the twilight hues♪
Qingkou, listen to me.
Don't do that again.
♪It will turn into a scar over time♪
♪What I wish to keep,
I can't hold on to♪

a flower in the water♪

Xuan Lie.
Are you stunned?
I never expected one day
I'd visit your arsenal.
My father has left.
You should go back as well,
or people will notice you.
Don't worry.
I'll find a way to
win your father's approval.
I'm afraid it'll be hard for him
because of our identities.
You're pregnant.
Don't overthink it.
Our priority now is to help you
regain the Brocade Embroidery
and produce 150,000 bolts of silk soon.
What's this?
The key to dealing with the second branch
and taking back the family seal.
Tomorrow is the delivery day.
If we can't deliver,
those owners and managers
will never let us off.
I thought the Chancellor would help,
but unexpectedly,
he shut us out.
Life has its ups and downs!
Yujue,
why don't we
just give them back the seal
and the Brocade Embroidery?
Let's ask them for an explanation.
Mr. Yujue, all my silkworms
have been used for production.
Can you deliver by tomorrow?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
We've poured all our savings into this.
If you can't, we'll lose
everything we've earned these years,
and even face serious legal consequences!
- Yes.
- Can you solve this problem?
You're the manager of the Jun family.
Jun Feifan is much better than you!
How will you solve this?
We never faced these issues
- when Jun Feifan was in charge.
- Stop it!
You keep bringing up Jun Feifan,
but you probably don't know
that the current situation
was caused by that Jun Feifan!
What are you talking about?
What do you mean?
What did you say?
Good for you, Jun Yujue.
You're quite the smooth talker.
Jun Qiluo,
what are you doing here?
I came to enjoy this show.
Everyone,
he won't deliver the goods tomorrow.
What?
What should we do now?
Jun Yujue, you promised us
that you could solve the problem!
What should we do?
- Yeah.
- Exactly.
This is on you!
Rest assured, everyone.
He can't deliver it,
but I can.
Really?
- She can do it.
- Great!
What did Qiluo say before she left?
She said
she would make
Jun Yujue hand over the seal
and return everything to us.
How could your uncle and Yujue
easily give up the seal?
They'll definitely
make things difficult for Qiluo.
Wait, I should go there.
I've told my cousin
that I can help everyone get through this.
But he still can't agree to
my condition.
Ms. Qiluo, what condition?
What's the condition?
Speak your mind.
Jun Yujue must return
both Brocade Embroidery
and the family seal
to our first branch.
After all, they rightfully belong to us.
Jun Qiluo,
don't even think about that.
The Jun family business
is rightfully mine.
I, Jun Yujue,
am the only male heir of the Juns!
Not you,
and certainly not Jun Feifan!
Yujue, that's enough!
Qiluo, you've been heard,
but don't take it too far.
Everyone knows
you're part of the Jun family,
and helping out
with the family business is your duty.
How can you
use the seal and the Brocade Embroidery
to threaten your cousin?
As a member of the Jun family,
you are sabotaging our business.
If it weren't for you,
the managers and the owners
wouldn't be in this mess!
It's all her fault!
Qiluo,
I know
you hold a grudge against Yujue and me.
But you can't
drag everyone down.
How can you do this to us?
Exactly.
They are so shameless.
Uncle, Yujue,
how can you do this to us?
Look.
No one could have imagined
who sent this letter.
You're making a mystery out of this?
This letter
was sent by the ruthless bandits
from the Uncontrollable.
The Uncontrollable
Bandits
This letter was supposed
to be sent to the Jun family's
second branch,
but the messenger,
too lazy to go to their place,
gave it to me instead.
I happened to read this letter,
and only then did I realize
what the second branch had been up to.
What
"Mr. Chengsong,
Yannan, Beixuan, and Xixiang
are setting up a trading post
in the Uncontrollable,
which threatens our business.
Mr. Chengsong, please do us a favor.
If you don't want
the murder-for-hire plot
against Jun Chengliu
and Jun Feifan to get out,
send 5,000 taels of silver
to Tiger Stockade."
I
My father has been kind to you.
Why did you hire assassins
to kill him and Jun Feifan?
Father, they're responsible
for your broken legs.
They even tried to kill Qiluo.
This This letter
This letter must be forged by them!
It must be forged by them
to slander me!
It's slander.
But it's all
written down clearly.
I knew they wouldn't admit it.
I've brought the messenger here.
Everything Ms. Qiluo said is true.
Today, there was a letter
from the Uncontrollable
to Mr. Chengsong.
You can even forge letters.
Of course, you forged the messenger too.
They forged it!
Absolutely!
It's fine if you don't admit it,
but I've sent someone
with 10,000 taels of silver
to Tiger Stockade mentioned in the letter.
Do you think those bandits
will spill everything
when they see the silver?
No, I I
Qiluo.
Qiluo,
it was all my idea.
He's not involved.
How can we do business with them?
Qiluo,
I'm begging you.
Spare your cousin.
It was me. I ordered the bandits
to kill Jun Feifan and Chengliu.
If Jun Feifan and Chengliu
die unexpectedly,
the Jun family's business would be mine.
Yujue knew nothing about this.
Qiluo,
please,
let Yujue go.
Qiluo
Qiluo!
Yujue is still young.
He hasn't even married yet.
Please, let Yujue go.
Qiluo.
Qiluo!
Uncle,
whether he's involved or not,
the government will decide.
Move aside!
They're here. Let's move.
Jun Chengsong,
Ms. Qiluo reported you and your son
for allegedly hiring assassins.
Take them away.
Qiluo,
spare your cousin!
You can have the Brocade Embroidery
and the seal.
Spare Yujue!
He's my only child!
The Jun family only has one male heir!
Qiluo!
Jun Qiluo!
Qiluo!
Young Master!
Bro
Bro,
a gentleman uses words, not fists
- Great!
- Serves him right.
Jun Qiluo, I'll get back on you!
Just you wait!
Ms. Qiluo,
when will the order be delivered?
Yeah, what should we do?
Don't worry,
I will handle
the delivery tomorrow.
The Jun family business
won't have any problems.
Everyone, go home.
Great. Thank you, Ms. Qiluo.
Thank you, Ms. Qiluo.
- Let's go.
- Thank you.
They'll deliver on time.
Now we can rest easy.
You did a great job today.
That was an excellent show.
Do you know how dangerous it was?
Why did you come out?
If I didn't, you'd be hurt.
That's not a big deal.
But if you were discovered,
you'd be risking your life.
Alright, alright.
Luo Qi is watching us.
Father, Xiukun,
don't you feel that
Qiluo is different now?
What's different?
She used to fully focus on the business,
calm and wise.
Now she's showing a softer side.
She's smiling more often.
Xuan Lie would rather risk
revealing his identity
to save her.
It seems that
Xuan Lie as my brother-in-law
wouldn't be so bad.
I'm getting better at making these kites.
If she sees this,
she'll definitely praise me.
(Consort Li passed away.)
Dongyin, what's going on?
Is there something wrong?
My Lord,
Consort Li
She passed away.
No way.
It
It can't be true.
Xuan Xu promised me
that Consort Li would stay alive
if I handed over the Luo Clan Seal.
How can this be true?
Impossible.
♪After a long time♪
I haven't finished this kite.
♪The sleepless universe
accompanies me as I sleepwalk♪
I gave him the Luo Clan Seal he wanted.
Why won't he let her go?
♪A vast desert, with no oasis in sight♪

to put your mind at ease,
but the truth is,
she's been ill for a long time.

that we'd return to Xixiang,

and she'd dance for me.

Alright, you should go.
If my father sees you here,
I'll be grounded again.
I'll find a chance to see you.
I'll go after you go inside.
Just go.
Yunyi,
(Late Wife, Liu Yunyi, R.I.P.)
Qiluo has fallen in love.
I always hope she can
resume her female identity,
free from all her duties,
get married and start a family.
And it seems like
my wish is coming true.
(Blessing for Generations)
But who would have thought
the one she loves
is the Wolf Lord of Beixuan.
Mr. Jun.
How dare you come here!
Mr. Jun,
I can't live without her.
I hope you'll bless us.
I think what you can't live without
is her being Baigong's heir!
She has been
designing weapons for Yannan.
All states are secretly searching for her.
You kidnapped her
from the Uncontrollable
for this reason, didn't you?
I admit that I kidnapped Qiluo
because I suspected
she was Baigong's heir.
But after spending time with her,
and going through life and death,
she is no longer
Jun Feifan in my heart,
but the person I love.
She's Jun Qiluo.
You are the Wolf Lord
of Beixuan, a Clan Leader.
If your King asks you to sacrifice Qiluo
for Beixuan's sake,
what will you do?
Mr. Jun,
I will step down as the Wolf Lord
to spend the rest of my life with Qiluo.
I won't let what you're worried about happen.
Even if they do,
I will protect her
with everything I have.
Your words sound beautiful,
proclaiming your love for her,
but from what I know,
she has suffered greatly in Beixuan.
You drove her to despair
and made her jump off a cliff, right?
Back then,
I asked for too much
and didn't protect her well.
All of this is my fault.
Mr. Jun, I know it's customary in Yannan
to seek forgiveness after punishment.
All that happened
was my fault.
Mr. Jun, I'm willing to
accept any punishment.
But please
give me another chance.
You're willing to accept punishment.
Then I'll grant your wish!
