    [Episode 22: Lady Fate (2)]
[00:15] ---
    Moya!
[00:15] ---
    I'm coming out!
[00:17] ---
    Wait!
[00:20] ---
    Augh!
[00:23] ---
    Sorry.
[00:35] ---
    Where are we?
[00:38] ---
    The building we were in is gone!
[00:40] ---
    Is this…
[00:41] ---
    Tianshui Town's market?
[00:44] ---
    Market?
[00:50] ---
    The Zhang family's fabric shop…
[00:53] ---
    The Wang family's paintings…
[01:04] ---
    Right…
[01:05] ---
    This is the figurine stall.
[01:07] ---
    Then up ahead is…
[01:13] ---
    But… but there's no one here.
[01:16] ---
    Ruo Lin…
[01:18] ---
    Wait, Shanhai!
[01:20] ---
    Where are you going?
[01:23] ---
    Shanhai!
[01:24] ---
    We have to leave as soon as possible!
[01:41] ---
    [Blue Mist Academy]
[01:43] ---
    This is…?
[01:45] ---
    This is where Ruo Lin and I studied.
[01:49] ---
    Ruo Lin?
[01:51] ---
    He has to be here.
[01:55] ---
    Wait!
[02:18] ---
    What are you doing?
[02:19] ---
    If we don't leave,
[02:20] ---
    the monster will get us!
[02:23] ---
    Ruo Lin! Where are you?!
[02:25] ---
    It's Shanhai!
[02:27] ---
    Shanhai!
[02:28] ---
    Shanhai, do you not want to leave anymore?
[02:32] ---
    I won't leave…
[02:33] ---
    until I find Ruo Lin!
[02:46] ---
    Moya?
[02:59] ---
    Are you alright?
[03:00] ---
    Why did you fall?
[03:14] ---
    Ruo Lin?
[03:16] ---
    Is he the person
[03:17] ---
    you're looking for?
[03:19] ---
    Yes.
[03:20] ---
    Ruo Lin painted this.
[03:23] ---
    Who is he to you?
[03:25] ---
    He's…
[03:27] ---
    the person I like.
[03:31] ---
    Ruo Lin and I studied at this academy.
[03:36] ---
    He wasn't good at reciting poems,
[03:38] ---
    but his painting and guqin skills
[03:41] ---
    were incomparable.
[03:47] ---
    When we struggled to write poems,
[03:49] ---
    we'd sit under the willow tree near the lake.
[03:55] ---
    We rarely spoke…
[04:08] ---
    But with just one look,
[04:10] ---
    we could understood each other.
[04:14] ---
    I can't believe you!
[04:16] ---
    You got betrothed without my blessing?!
[04:41] ---
    My only wish is to spend my life with you,
[04:44] ---
    to give you the very best version of myself.
[04:53] ---
    If you're willing,
[04:54] ---
    and if you can…
[04:56] ---
    then tomorrow at midnight,
[04:58] ---
    bring this case of rouge
[04:59] ---
    and wait at the willow tree.
[05:01] ---
    We'll leave this place
[05:03] ---
    and wander the world together.
[05:08] ---
    Okay.
[05:12] ---
    My heart was full of delight
[05:14] ---
    because I could finally start
    a new life with Ruo Lin.
[05:20] ---
    But I was found out.
[05:27] ---
    My mother didn't get angry that time.
[05:30] ---
    Instead, she told me many things
[05:32] ---
    that I was not aware of.
[05:39] ---
    Now…
[05:41] ---
    Do you still think you have
    the right to be with him?
[05:49] ---
    In the end,
[05:50] ---
    I broke my promise
[05:52] ---
    and chose to give up.
[05:59] ---
    After that,
[06:01] ---
    I never saw him again.
[06:03] ---
    But I've always regretted my decision.
[06:07] ---
    If I'd been braver,
[06:09] ---
    even just a little,
[06:11] ---
    I wouldn't have lost him.
[06:14] ---
    If I was given another chance,
[06:17] ---
    I definitely,
[06:18] ---
    definitely wouldn't give up!
[06:20] ---
    I wouldn't have heeded what my mother said!
[06:23] ---
    Back then,
[06:24] ---
    what exactly did your mother tell you?
[06:31] ---
    I…
[06:33] ---
    I can't remember.
[06:37] ---
    What?
[06:38] ---
    What did she say?
[06:40] ---
    Why can't I remember anything?
[06:43] ---
    Okay, okay.
[06:43] ---
    We'll find Ruo Lin together
[06:45] ---
    and bring him with us.
[06:48] ---
    Okay.
[06:59] ---
    You hit him?
[07:01] ---
    Yeah.
[07:03] ---
    Were you trying to kill him?
[07:04] ---
    But he still wouldn't wake up.
[07:06] ---
    Look at his hand.
[07:30] ---
    Something felt off,
[07:32] ---
    so I tied up that crone.
[07:43] ---
    A marrying technique.
[07:45] ---
    Since you know what it is,
[07:47] ---
    you should also know
[07:49] ---
    that if something happens to me,
[07:51] ---
    they'll be in for it, too.
[07:54] ---
    Untie me!
[07:56] ---
    Madame Wen.
[07:57] ---
    This is what you want for your daughter?
[08:00] ---
    It's the only way for Shanhai to be happy.
[08:03] ---
    Happy?
[08:05] ---
    A normal girl,
[08:06] ---
    locked underground,
[08:08] ---
    wasting away in complete darkness.
[08:10] ---
    Is she really happy?
[08:12] ---
    Hmph.
[08:20] ---
    Those from Tao City
[08:22] ---
    have never tasted the pain of
    being hunted and toyed with.
[08:25] ---
    Needing to hide,
[08:26] ---
    utter helplessness,
[08:28] ---
    and constant terror.
[08:29] ---
    Such things
[08:31] ---
    have never had anything to do with you.
[08:34] ---
    I gave my daughter a path
    that's far from sorrow.
[08:37] ---
    What's wrong with that?
[08:38] ---
    Such a kind and gentle child
[08:41] ---
    should have an identity that suits her.
[08:48] ---
    Ruo Lin! Where are you?!
[08:57] ---
    It's too cruel…
[08:59] ---
    that she's the daughter of a Lady Fate.
[09:05] ---
    I want her to become a real human,
[09:11] ---
    with flesh and blood,
[09:13] ---
    eating grains,
[09:16] ---
    and experiencing the seasons.
[09:30] ---
    She'll see fresh flowers
    and the one she loves,
[09:34] ---
    not the cold date of his death.
[09:42] ---
    She can't end up the same as me.
[09:45] ---
    She can't!
[09:53] ---
    Shanhai? Shanhai, what's wrong?
[09:56] ---
    I remember.
[09:58] ---
    Ruo Lin has already
[10:00] ---
    passed away.
[10:02] ---
    What?!
[10:04] ---
    Back then,
[10:05] ---
    I probably saw that he only
    had half a year of life left.
[10:09] ---
    But I couldn't save him,
[10:11] ---
    and I could only watch
    as he neared his death.
[10:15] ---
    How did you know his lifespan?
[10:17] ---
    I'm not a human.
[10:19] ---
    I'm a Lady Fate.
[10:26] ---
    Our power
[10:27] ---
    shows us the time of someone's death.
[10:30] ---
    So that I wouldn't be in pain,
[10:32] ---
    my mother locked me up
[10:35] ---
    until Ruo Lin left this world.
[10:39] ---
    What a good mother.
[10:42] ---
    A parent's love is so touching.
[10:45] ---
    Miss,
[10:46] ---
    you should try to empathize with Madame Wen.
[10:49] ---
    If something goes wrong with
    the marriage technique,
[10:52] ---
    the consequences will be
    beyond your imagination.
[10:58] ---
    What will it take for you to let us go?
[11:01] ---
    Gold, silk, and satin…
[11:03] ---
    I'll give you as much as you want!
[11:05] ---
    I just want my daughter to be happy.
[11:07] ---
    Hmph.
[11:08] ---
    You think being human means being happy
[11:10] ---
    and not having to suffer anymore?
[11:12] ---
    At least she can be with the person she likes
[11:15] ---
    and won't find herself abandoned.
[11:20] ---
    My mother said that,
[11:21] ---
    even if Ruo Lin had more
    than half a year left,
[11:24] ---
    even if he could live to a hundred,
[11:26] ---
    he would still end up abandoning
    me because I'm a spirit.
[11:29] ---
    If that happened, I'd only
    be in even more pain.
[11:37] ---
    But nobody can be certain
[11:39] ---
    about something like that.
[11:42] ---
    Didn't you ask me
[11:43] ---
    what my mother told me that night?
[11:47] ---
    What was it?
[11:48] ---
    She said
[11:50] ---
    my father was human, too.
[11:51] ---
    Human?
[11:54] ---
    Look.
[12:00] ---
    That's Cloudsea Temple.
[12:02] ---
    My father was a monk there.
[12:05] ---
    Not long after I was born,
[12:06] ---
    my father left us.
[12:09] ---
    My mother wanted to find out why,
[12:12] ---
    but she couldn't get through
    the temple's barrier.
[12:15] ---
    So she held me close
[12:17] ---
    and waited outside the temple for seven days.
[12:20] ---
    In the end, she only
    received a piece of paper.
[12:24] ---
    It said…
[12:26] ---
    "Humans and spirits walk different
    paths. Our bond ends here.'
[12:32] ---
    My mother believed
[12:33] ---
    my father left her
[12:35] ---
    only because she's a spirit.
[12:37] ---
    So…
[12:38] ---
    she wants me to turn into
    a human no matter what.
[12:41] ---
    Only then
[12:42] ---
    will she not repeat my mistake
[12:45] ---
    and have the right to spend her
    life with the one she loves.
[12:48] ---
    This is all for Shanhai's good.
[12:50] ---
    Why can't you understand that?!
[12:54] ---
    Don't worry, Madame. You can rest assured.
[12:57] ---
    If I agree to something,
[12:59] ---
    it will be done.
[13:01] ---
    When the marriage is complete,
[13:03] ---
    Miss Shanhai will no longer be a spirit.
[13:06] ---
    Shut up!
[13:08] ---
    Where'd you find this crone?
[13:10] ---
    She's a famous miracle doctor.
[13:12] ---
    She can cure
[13:13] ---
    both humans and spirits.
[13:15] ---
    Finding her was very difficult.
[13:18] ---
    She's in the same field as me, huh?
[13:21] ---
    She understands Madame's feelings,
[13:22] ---
    asks no reward,
[13:24] ---
    and she is willing to help
    Miss Shanhai become human.
[13:26] ---
    We're at the most critical
    moment of cleansing her soul.
[13:31] ---
    But I've been rendered immobile
[13:32] ---
    and my meridians are blocked.
[13:34] ---
    I'm afraid it will all be for naught.
[13:37] ---
    Hurry and let her go!
[13:43] ---
    Madame, calm down.
[13:45] ---
    She's connected to Shanhai's lifeblood!
[13:47] ---
    She can't stand such torment!
[13:49] ---
    My apologies, Madame.
[13:51] ---
    I'm afraid I have to break my promise.
[13:55] ---
    Ma'am!
[14:00] ---
    Don't you have a sword?
[14:01] ---
    Cut the ropes!
[14:02] ---
    Madame, we can't.
[14:03] ---
    Do you not hear me?!
[14:04] ---
    Do something!
[14:12] ---
    Let go of me! Let go of me!
[14:14] ---
    Shanhai must become human!
[14:16] ---
    Madame Wen. You're a spirit, too.
[14:19] ---
    Don't you know that spirits
    can only cultivate human forms
[14:21] ---
    and can't actually become humans?
[14:25] ---
    I…
[14:26] ---
    If there's external help,
[14:29] ---
    it's not impossible.
[14:32] ---
    A pure soul,
[14:34] ---
    together with my crimson string…
[14:39] ---
    means that Miss Shanhai's
    human transformation
[14:41] ---
    is just around the corner.
[14:44] ---
    A pure soul?
[14:46] ---
    The little monk?
[14:48] ---
    That's right.
[14:49] ---
    Child monks
[14:51] ---
    are clear of sin.
[14:53] ---
    When his pulse is linked with hers,
[14:55] ---
    her spirit soul can be cleansed.
[14:58] ---
    Of course, one little monk is not enough.
[15:02] ---
    It is thanks to Steward Qin's search
[15:05] ---
    that we've managed to come so far.
[15:11] ---
    Then you've been through much trouble.
[15:16] ---
    But there's one thing
[15:18] ---
    you miscalculated.
[15:20] ---
    Miscalculated?
[15:22] ---
    Moya isn't a normal little monk.
[15:26] ---
    That said, Moya…
[15:28] ---
    He's a troublesome glutton.
[15:29] ---
    It's nice and quiet without him.
[15:31] ---
    It's only because you're also a doctor,
[15:33] ---
    and how your bluffing and lies
[15:34] ---
    hurts our credibility,
[15:36] ---
    that I can't just stand by and watch.
[15:38] ---
    No,
[15:39] ---
    she isn't lying!
[15:40] ---
    Shanhai's spirit aura
[15:42] ---
    really has been weakening!
[15:43] ---
    Yes, her spirit aura has gotten weaker.
[15:45] ---
    But that doesn't mean she's becoming human.
[15:49] ---
    What did you say?
[15:53] ---
    This is bad!
[15:53] ---
    He's struggling to breathe!
[16:06] ---
    I'm saying…
[16:16] ---
    It hurts!
[16:18] ---
    Shanhai, what's wrong?
[16:21] ---
    This isn't Tianshui Town.
[16:24] ---
    This place…
[16:33] ---
    I know it.
[16:35] ---
    But I can't remember.
[16:38] ---
    Calm down. Take it slow.
[16:40] ---
    No!
[16:41] ---
    I know it.
[16:45] ---
    You people want me to disappear.
[16:47] ---
    Someone came in.
[16:49] ---
    There's a monster!
[16:50] ---
    You people
[16:51] ---
    want me to disappear!
[17:01] ---
    Shanhai, wake up!
[17:03] ---
    Don't think like that!
[17:08] ---
    I'll disappear.
[17:11] ---
    Disappear!
[17:13] ---
    It'll be over when I'm dead!
[17:21] ---
    You won't disappear.
[17:23] ---
    You'll get better!
[17:24] ---
    We can both safely leave this place!
[17:39] ---
    Miss Shanhai
[17:41] ---
    is almost dead.
[17:51] ---
