Episode 1
[My Everlasting Bride]
[Girl, you've got my attention now!]
[Episode 1]
(Hongzhou City. In the winter of
the 17th year of the Republic of China.)
(Grand Marshal Nie
announced a military order)
(that he would hand over his position
to his only son Nie Zhen the next year.)
(Upon the announcement,)
(voices of criticism and scolding
were unceasing,)
(for Young Marshal Nie Zhen
was overbearing and debauched,)
[Medicinal ingredients:]
(acting tyrannically and domineeringly,)
[pill, powder, medicinal extract, pellet]
(and committing all manner of evil.)
(It was commonly said on the streets
that when Nie Zhen took power,)
(it would mark the beginning
of Hongzhou's downfall.)
Young Marshal,
she's inside.
[Pass]
Just for this thing?
Speak.
I'm just a servant girl
from the restaurant at Tong Street.
- I saw you're bullying
- Liar.
Compared to a restaurant servant,
the smell of cosmetics on you
is way too strong.
Besides, you don't have
any cooking odors.
I'm Xiaodie,
Miss Shen Qingxia's maid from
the Shen family in the south of the city.
Go on.
Miss Shen and I
are leaving the city today.
We have prepared
the train tickets and money.
All we need is the pass.
If I remember correctly,
Miss Shen is engaged to Mr. Nie.
Why do you want to leave?
Have you thought
about the consequences of escaping?
He's a scumbag.
A scumbag?
I'm telling the truth.
Don't be nervous.
I should praise you
for making a great remark.
I've said everything I need to say,
so can you let me go?
Let you go?
Of course.
Don't move.
Looks like
you are not so meek after all.
Hand me your pass.
It seems like your military rank
is not low, either.
Fine.
Indeed, mine works better.
Move!
Stay where you are.
Don't shoot!
Put your guns down!
You've wasted five minutes
of my time today.
I'll find an opportunity later
to have you make up for it to me.
Let's see if you will find the chance.
Shouldn't we catch her?
No need.
Young Marshal,
it's time to get yourself a real gun.
No marshals hate guns.
Don't be a blabber.
But it's fortunate
that it was just a fake gun,
so nothing happened.
What's even more coincidental is that
she is Miss Shen's personal maid.
What?
Nothing.
Remember to fully compensate
for the damages in this tailor shop.
Understood.
Miss Qingxia,
I'm back!
(Xiaodie,)
(by the time you see
this blood-written letter,)
(I should have cleansed myself.)
(I was drugged by a group of soldiers,)
(and my memories afterward)
(became blurred.)
(Now,)
(I can only die)
(to cleanse my shame.)
(My sister, let the two of us)
(meet again in the next life.)
Miss Qingxia,
it was my fault.
I shouldn't have come here so late.
It's all my fault!
Miss Qingxia!
Did Qingxia really leave?
Miss Shen was determined to leave
and only left this ticket stub.
It's all because of me
that I forced her away.
Escaping the marriage right before
the Young Marshal's proposal,
if this news
reaches the Nie family,
it will be a blow to their reputation.
Offending the Nies in Hongzhou,
it seems our Shen family
is likely coming to an end.
You may rise.
(Xiaodie,)
(from now on, my home is yours too.)
(We will be together forever.)
(Xiaodie,)
(I'd rather die
than marry that evil man.)
(You will help me, won't you?)
(Miss Qingxia,)
(I will help.)
(Xiaodie,)
(don't go.)
Stop.
Is it your life motto
to embarrass and trouble your old man?
What?
Did someone snitch on me?
In just a year, you will take on
the position of the Grand Marshal.
As for the issue of your image
in the eyes of the public,
I won't dwell on it any further.
The Western Military School
taught me that
to establish authority,
one must first develop
a strong personality.
What?
It's been so many years,
but are you still reluctant
to forgive me?
Don't you worry.
I don't mind at all.
Gotta go.
Wait.
About the proposal tomorrow,
you must take it seriously.
I don't care if you like her or not.
You don't have a choice.
What if she doesn't like it?
This is Hongzhou.
Who
dares to say no to our Nie family?
Alright.
I understand.
(The bullies run rampant,)
(and the helpless suffer greatly.)
(The entire Hongzhou)
(is horrifying to the eye.)
(I'm just an insignificant maid.)
(I have nothing to lose)
(and there's nothing for me to fear.)
[Hongzhou Grand Marshal's Manor]
(Miss Qingxia,)
(I won't go anywhere,)
(I will guard your secret)
(and protect
the Shen family's property.)
(Moreover,)
(I will take the opportunity
to enter the Nie family)
(and do whatever it takes)
(to find out who harmed you.)
Greetings, Mr. Shen.
I prepared a humble gift.
Please take a seat, Young Marshal.
Qingxia,
come out.
Coming!
Father.

this is the Young Marshal,
Mr. Nie Zhen.
