[00:27] ---
    Look over there.
[00:28] ---
    Look over there.
[00:28] ---
    (Ghostwriting)
[00:31] ---
    My name is Xu Chenghuai.
[00:33] ---
    Is this a painting stall?
[00:35] ---
    It's a letter writing service.
[00:36] ---
    I'm a scholar who travels back home.
[00:48] ---
    It's said a bookish scholar is useless.
[00:53] ---
    That's not wrong.
[00:57] ---
    The breeze is mischievous. Please be careful.
[01:23] ---
    The breeze is mischievous,
    but I'm grateful to it.

[02:35] ---
    Chongchong,
[02:44] ---
    I didn't expect that you
    actually saved these flowers.
[02:49] ---
    I have said that as long as I want to,
    I will definitely find a way.
[02:54] ---
    It's really incredible.
[02:58] ---
    For you, the answers to everything
    can be found in books, right?
[03:04] ---
    Not necessarily.
[03:08] ---
    I still don't know what's a soulmate.
[03:12] ---
    Although I have read many related books,
    I still only have a smattering of knowledge.
[03:18] ---
    Stupid girl.
[03:20] ---
    You and your soulmate should have mutual understanding
    and support each other.
[03:25] ---
    You're happy to see his or her face.
[03:28] ---
    You feel comfortable to talk to him or her.
[03:33] ---
    When you meet your soulmate like I did,
    you will naturally understand.
[03:38] ---
    Who's she?
[03:42] ---
    Her name is Lianxin.
[03:44] ---
    Lian…
[05:09] ---
    Three days later,
[05:13] ---
    there will be a female head here.
[05:26] ---
    Chongchong, if you're not busy,
    please go to Mrs. Hu's and take a look.
[05:30] ---
    Bring the marital bedding back if it's done.
[05:35] ---
    I'll go in the evening.
[05:37] ---
    Mrs. Hu is famously slow.
    Now going there might be a wasted trip.
[05:42] ---
    Then come over and help
    me tidy up the cabinet.
[05:58] ---
    Are these all moved away?
[06:01] ---
    I have agreed with Master Qiao.
[06:03] ---
    These books are for those poor children.
[06:06] ---
    He can also save some money.
[06:09] ---
    Aren't these your favorite books?
[06:12] ---
    The greatest significance of books
    is to allow more people to read them.
[06:16] ---
    Moreover, after Lianxin marries me,
    she must have a wardrobe.
[06:21] ---
    You even gave up books just
    to make room for her clothes.
[06:25] ---
    Will you kick me out after getting married?
[06:41] ---
    This girl. What happened to her today?
[06:55] ---
    Congratulations!
[06:56] ---
    Thank you. Thank you all, fellow villagers.
[06:59] ---
    It should be almost there.
[07:02] ---
    Look how anxious the groom is.
[07:04] ---
    Why hasn't she arrived yet?
[07:18] ---
    She's here.
[07:30] ---
    The bride is getting out of the sedan chair.
[07:41] ---
    Lianxin, I'm here to welcome you.
[07:51] ---
    Miss? Miss, you can come out now.
[08:20] ---
    Doctor, where is the doctor?
[08:22] ---
    Hurry to the clinic. Quick.
[08:23] ---
    How could this happen?
[08:24] ---
    The bride is dead. Is this… true or false?
[08:28] ---
    This is a day of great joy.
[08:30] ---
    It's too cruel.
[08:39] ---
    Lianxin.
[08:44] ---
    Lianxin.
[08:53] ---
    Lianxin.
[09:07] ---
    Lianxin.
[09:09] ---
    Lianxin.
[09:15] ---
    Lianxin.
[09:30] ---
    It can be so easy to go from
    great joy to great sorrow.
[09:45] ---
    Lianxin.
[10:04] ---
    Don't go. Don't go.
[10:07] ---
    I'm not leaving.
[10:17] ---
    It's you.
[10:23] ---
    Chenghuai, take your medicine.
[10:26] ---
    Sick like this, you'll
    hurt your body further.
[10:35] ---
    Why did you put the books in?
[10:38] ---
    What are you saying?
[10:46] ---
    I said why did you put the books in.
[10:57] ---
    This is for Lianxin.
[11:01] ---
    What's the use? What's the use?
[11:04] ---
    What's the use of reading so many books?
[11:07] ---
    I can't even keep the person I love.
[11:14] ---
    She…She's so good.
[11:17] ---
    Why?
[11:19] ---
    Why?
[11:22] ---
    How good is she?
[11:23] ---
    Did she wake you up before a fire disaster?
[11:26] ---
    Did she get drunk with you in the wine shop?
[11:30] ---
    Did she wake up in your arms on a morning?
[11:35] ---
    What…What did you say?
[11:39] ---
    She didn't experience all these with you.
[11:41] ---
    So she is not your soulmate.
[11:45] ---
    You said soulmates must
    have mutual understanding.
[11:49] ---
    We support each other and stay together.
[11:52] ---
    I'm happy to see your face.
[11:55] ---
    I won't get angry, even if I argue with you.
[12:01] ---
    So my soulmate is you.
[12:06] ---
    You…
[12:07] ---
    If another woman appears between you and me,
    I will be very unhappy.
[12:13] ---
    Very unhappy.
[12:18] ---
    You…What did you do to Lianxin?
[12:29] ---
    The book says that indecision
    will lead to chaos.
[12:40] ---
    Except me, no one should stay by your side.
[12:45] ---
    You also like me.
[12:53] ---
    Like you?
[13:04] ---
    Do I like a bug?
[13:33] ---
    Chenghuai, I know you are kind to me.
[13:36] ---
    I have seen it in the book.
[13:38] ---
    Many couples who grow old
    together are like you and me
[13:41] ---
    With inborn mutual understanding,
    we never leave or forsake.
[13:45] ---
    You are sick now. You have to take medicine,
    otherwise your body won't be able to bear it.
[13:50] ---
    You are the one who is sick.
[14:00] ---
    Chenghuai, let's live together
    like a married couple.
[14:03] ---
    I can also put on a wedding
    dress and marry you.
[14:07] ---
    Marry me?
[14:10] ---
    We?
[14:23] ---
    What have I done after all?
[14:27] ---
    I should have been burned to death back then.
[14:31] ---
    Being struck by lightning would be fine too.
[14:39] ---
    I have read thousands of books in vain.
[14:42] ---
    I actually forgot that evil is evil.
[14:47] ---
    They can't be friends.
[14:51] ---
    Chenghuai, I just want to be with you.
[15:03] ---
    I'll k ill you!
[15:22] ---
    I don't want to see you
    for even another second.
[15:39] ---
    Don't touch me.
[15:43] ---
    Don't be like this. Don't
    be like this. Chenghuai.
[15:46] ---
    We can be together. We can be together.
[15:49] ---
    Get lost.
[15:59] ---
    I really wish I had never met you.
[16:38] ---
    I… I don't know what to do.
[16:42] ---
    I'll go flip through a book to see
    if there are any answers.
[16:52] ---
    Go ahead, go ahead.
[16:56] ---
    It would be better if we
    hadn't met each other.
[17:04] ---
    Chenghuai, I'm back.
[17:07] ---
    You often suffer in the summer.
[17:08] ---
    Today I got some fresh lotus leaves.
[17:11] ---
    I cooked lotus leaf porridge for you.
[17:13] ---
    It's the most fragrant thing ever.
[17:15] ---
    There is minced meat and stir-fried cucumber.
[17:18] ---
    These grapes are also soaked in well water.
    They're sweet and cool.
[17:22] ---
    Have a taste.
[17:25] ---
    Come, Chenghuai, don't be afraid.
[17:32] ---
    You just slipped into the
    water and caught a cold.
[17:36] ---
    Chongchong.
[17:41] ---
    How did I die?
[17:46] ---
    No. Not correct.
[17:48] ---
    I…I have already timely saved you.
[17:54] ---
    How did I die?
[17:57] ---
    You…You died from illness.
[18:01] ---
    You…You…
[18:12] ---
    I didn't expect Ms. Tao
    to be an inexpert swimmer.
[18:17] ---
    Si Jingyuan, it's really you.
[18:20] ---
    Don't use so much force.
    These old bones could fall apart at any time.
[18:24] ---
    The obsession of this corpse is too deep.
[18:26] ---
    Thanks to my half-life, I possessed him
[18:28] ---
    so that she could see her true pain.
[18:38] ---
    I think I can still save him.
[18:41] ---
    Dark Blade can really revive
    the dead. I'm not lying.
[18:45] ---
    What does it matter if you lie to me?
[18:47] ---
    It's just quite rare
    that you've been lying to yourself for 100 years.
[18:57] ---
    This is what you spit out, right?
[19:03] ---
    It spat out a trace of black gas just now,
[19:06] ---
    which turned into this thing on the ground.
[19:08] ---
    What is this exactly?
[19:10] ---
    This is called Wind Fruit.
[19:14] ---
    The land of poisonous miasma has short trees.
[19:16] ---
    The leaves are like dog teeth.
    The fruits are like jade.
[19:18] ---
    When the wind blows, they turn red.
    They are called Wind Fruits.
[19:23] ---
    But they are not plants, but demons.
[19:26] ---
    When eaten, it parasitizes the brain
    and takes form in dreams.
[19:31] ---
    It can manipulate memories.
[19:38] ---
    After that, I confirmed that
    Chenghuai died of illness.
[19:44] ---
    Only the wish to make him alive remains.
[19:52] ---
    What's the use?
[19:53] ---
    What's fake is fake.
    The truth will eventually be exposed one day.
[19:58] ---
    The host wakes up. Wind Fruit immediately dies.
    This thing is useless now.
[20:02] ---
    You…
[20:04] ---
    Don't mistake me for your unlucky crush.
[20:14] ---
    What are you doing?
    You are destroying your own demon soul.
[20:17] ---
    Even if I don't do this,
    you won't let me go, right?
[20:30] ---
    I have read all the books in the world.
[20:32] ---
    I know what people don't know.
    I can do what they cannot do.
[20:37] ---
    But I can't stay by your side.
[20:41] ---
    This defeat is unbearable to me.
[20:45] ---
    I'm gone. Everything goes back to zero.
[20:53] ---
    You are not him.
[20:57] ---
    But you made me see him. Thanks.
[21:06] ---
    So many people died.
    So many innocent people are implicated.
[21:10] ---
    But this is the result.
[21:13] ---
    That's because, although
    Knowing comes from books,
[21:16] ---
    it has never really understood books.
[21:20] ---
    Books are written by people.
    People are not plants. Who can be heartless?
[21:25] ---
    One has to visit countless places, see countless sceneries,
    and taste countless hardships
[21:31] ---
    before he can write something in books.
[21:34] ---
    In one's lifetime, he looks at mountains
    with emotions and water with emotions.
[21:40] ---
    So much love, hatred, affection, and enmity.
[21:41] ---
    How can they be solved by books?
[21:45] ---
    Both flowers and the person disappeared.
[21:48] ---
    It would be better to not meet each other.
