[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.
