    When this peony is put on milady's head,
[00:29] ---
    it's really beautiful!
[00:32] ---
    Not really.
[00:33] ---
    A good flower matches a beautiful person.
[00:37] ---
    Milady was born beautiful.
[00:39] ---
    In future, she will definitely find a good marriage.
[00:42] ---
    That's right.

[01:43] ---
    Sweet cake, sweet cake.
[01:45] ---
    When will I be able to get along with the god of thunder?
[01:50] ---
    Keep up.
[01:51] ---
    Be careful with the stretcher.
[02:05] ---
    Hurry.
[02:05] ---
    Take it inside.
[02:09] ---
    Second young master, why have you come out?
[02:33] ---
    Hurry and take the eldest young master into the house.
[02:39] ---
    Second young master,
[02:40] ---
    Master Yue asked me to tell you that
[02:43] ---
    the eldest young master had an accident at Changdaomen.
[02:46] ---
    Master Yue will definitely bring along a gift to apologize with in future.
[02:51] ---
    He hopes that both young masters will be magnanimous,
[02:54] ---
    and don't be angry with Changdaomen.
[02:56] ---
    Master Yue has already kidnapped almost all of the famous doctors in Luoyang.
[03:00] ---
    There's nothing else that can be done.
[03:01] ---
    We were afraid of changes on the way,
[03:03] ---
    so we had to travel day and night to bring the eldest young master back to your house.
[03:06] ---
    Thank you.
[03:08] ---
    Since Bother has returned home,
[03:10] ---
    I'll take care of him from now on.
[03:11] ---
    Sorry we can't welcome you at the house
[03:13] ---
    due to lack of staff.
[03:14] ---
    Please go back, Master Jin.
[03:18] ---
    Then I'll go back and report that the mission is complete.
[03:20] ---
    I won't bother you further.
[03:21] ---
    If you need help in the future,
[03:23] ---
    please let me know.
[03:28] ---
    The kid doesn't know very much,
[03:30] ---
    not even offering you a cup of tea, Master.
[03:33] ---
    He is in the prime of youth,
[03:34] ---
    so this is inevitable.
[03:36] ---
    I'm afraid that the second young master's
    temperament will cause problems for him in future.
[03:42] ---
    I don't think this House of Si has much influence.
[03:45] ---
    We Changdaomen are one of the top factions in Luoyang.
[03:47] ---
    Why do we care what they think?
[03:49] ---
    Don't speak recklessly.
[03:51] ---
    They say the Devil decides life or death.
[03:53] ---
    The House of Si resolves conflicts.
[03:55] ---
    Even though they're not in a faction,
[03:57] ---
    and they don't ask for money or power,
[03:59] ---
    yet they accept every request.
[04:01] ---
    So when people have a problem that they can't resolve,
[04:05] ---
    they will go to them.
[04:08] ---
    In the long run, most people are their friends.
[04:13] ---
    But...
[04:15] ---
    Don't say any more...
[04:16] ---
    The boss may have a request for them in future.
[04:18] ---
    We can't be too offensive.
[04:26] ---
    Miss Tao.
[04:28] ---
    What are you doing here?
[04:30] ---
    Housekeeper Miao.
[04:31] ---
    It looks like you're getting soaked, and don't have an umbrella.
[04:36] ---
    Just now, it was our eldest young master lying on the stretcher.
[04:39] ---
    That's right.
[04:40] ---
    Something happened to the eldest young master and he was carried back,
[04:44] ---
    so shouldn't we investigate?
[04:50] ---
    It's hard to avoid danger when getting involved with the factions.
[04:52] ---
    The eldest young master is not as cautious as the second young master.
[04:54] ---
    It's also not the first time he's been carried back.
[04:56] ---
    Don't worry.
[04:57] ---
    The second younger master has his own method.
[05:00] ---
    From your tone of voice,
[05:01] ---
    the older brother is worse than the younger brother.
[05:05] ---
    You don't need to ask about it.
[05:06] ---
    Just look after the horses.
[05:08] ---
    Once you've been here for a while, you'll know the master's temperament.
[05:13] ---
    But I heard that--
[05:14] ---
    It's getting late.
[05:15] ---
    I'm going to the kitchen to ask the chef to change the menu.
[05:17] ---
    You go do your own thing.
[07:12] ---
    Could it be that...
[07:27] ---
    Second young master.
[07:30] ---
    Your finger is bleeding.
[07:36] ---
    Stop fighting me.
[07:38] ---
    You're destroying perfectly good bamboo.
[07:49] ---
    Stop playing it.
[07:50] ---
    Leave.
[07:52] ---
    This stringless music pierces heavens and earth, summoning wandering souls.
[07:55] ---
    Not even one in a million can play such music.
[07:58] ---
    Only soulless bodies can summon souls.
[08:00] ---
    Since the eldest young master has a soul,
[08:02] ---
    you won't succeed even if play so much that you break your fingers.
[08:11] ---
    I thought you were an expert.
[08:13] ---
    I can't believe that you can't even see this.
[08:17] ---
    I won't lie to you.
[08:18] ---
    Check this out.
[08:21] ---
    A soulless body will have a hole in between the eyebrows.
[08:24] ---
    But there's no such thing here.
[08:27] ---
    Hole?
[08:29] ---
    Not actually a real hole.
[08:31] ---
    How should I explain...
[08:34] ---
    Like what is said in medicine,
[08:36] ---
    a bad complexion.
[08:38] ---
    When the soul fills the body,
[08:39] ---
    the space between the eyebrows appear full.
[08:41] ---
    Otherwise, the space will be sunken.
[08:43] ---
    The eldest young master looks like this,
[08:45] ---
    so he's definitely not soulless.
[08:48] ---
    But you only feed horses...
[08:49] ---
    Even though I need horses, can't I read medical books?
[08:52] ---
    Even though I'm just a handyman,
[08:54] ---
    I'm still a member of the House of Si.
[08:55] ---
    I don't want to see either young master having problems.
[08:58] ---
    Otherwise, who would pay my wages?
[09:03] ---
    If you can say something useful,
[09:05] ---
    I'll pay you ten times more.
[09:07] ---
    But if you talk nonsense,
[09:09] ---
    I won't forgive you easily.
[09:12] ---
    This is the first time the second young master has spoken so much to me.
[09:15] ---
    I'm really not used to it.
[09:17] ---
    If there is a soul, why isn't he awake?
[09:25] ---
    His pulse is weak.
[09:27] ---
    He's had too many tranquilizers.
[09:29] ---
    All you have to do is just find a doctor
[09:31] ---
    to prescribe some stimulants.
[09:33] ---
    Can't you prescribe it yourself?
[09:35] ---
    Still, I'm afraid that your nonsense will kill him.
[09:38] ---
    I don't treat people...
[09:41] ---
    I mean, the eldest young master has a noble status,
[09:43] ---
    and isn't a normal person.
[09:44] ---
    It's better to find a famous doctor.
[09:49] ---
    Go get Housekeeper Miao.
[09:50] ---
    Okay.
[09:53] ---
    Do you want some medicine for your hands?
[09:55] ---
    Don't worry about it.
[09:56] ---
    Go.
[10:13] ---
    I don't know who you guys are.
[10:15] ---
    I don't want to know either.
[10:17] ---
    A-Anyway, no one will love me.
[10:23] ---
    Why don't you just kill me?
[10:25] ---
    If I'm dead, it'll be peaceful.
[10:28] ---
    You can't, eldest young master!
[10:30] ---
    Don't touch me!
[10:31] ---
    I'm not your eldest young master.
[10:32] ---
    Eldest young master?
[10:33] ---
    What are you doing?
[10:34] ---
    You can't!
[10:35] ---
    You're the eldest daughter of the Yue family?
[10:38] ---
    Yue Pingchuan.
[10:40] ---
    Yes, but so what?
[10:42] ---
    There's no point in explaining further.
[10:45] ---
    Let go of me.
[10:46] ---
    Let me free myself.
[10:50] ---
    Second young master,
[10:51] ---
    I'm afraid that the eldest young master has switched souls with Miss Yue.
[10:53] ---
    He's in the wrong body.
[10:55] ---
    If you are Miss Yue,
[10:57] ---
    why are you in my brother's body?
[10:59] ---
    I don't know.
[11:01] ---
    After I fell asleep in a daze,
[11:04] ---
    I only felt that...
[11:07] ---
    ...someone kissed me!
[11:11] ---
    But I didn't see who it was.
[11:15] ---
    Then I was seized and thrown out.
[11:19] ---
    When I woke up...
[11:23] ---
    Just let me die!
[11:25] ---
    Eldest young master!
[11:33] ---
    Miss Tao, help me out here.
[11:45] ---
    Second young master, this is your brother's body.
[11:47] ---
    Why didn't you stop him?
[11:49] ---
    If he's dead, it'll be peaceful.
[11:50] ---
    Second young master, don't be like that.
[11:53] ---
    You know the eldest young master's temperament.
[11:55] ---
    From the current situation,
[11:56] ---
    don't you think you need to go to Luoyang?
[12:00] ---
    Bring out the register.
[12:02] ---
    There's no need, I can remember it.
[12:06] ---
    Early last month, Master Yue personally came to request.
[12:09] ---
    He said that his only daughter, Yue Pingchuan, originally had a cheerful personality.
[12:12] ---
    But she's been depressed ever since her sweetheart passed away,
[12:16] ---
    She hasn't smiled for two years.
[12:18] ---
    She stays in her room and cries all day long.
[12:21] ---
    This body is also gradually weakening.
[12:25] ---
    Master Yue has tried many prescriptions,
[12:27] ---
    but to no avail.
[12:28] ---
    In the end, it is suspected that the dead has strong resentment,
[12:32] ---
    bothering the daughter and refusing to leave.
[12:33] ---
    So she asked him for help.
[12:38] ---
    On that day, the second young master wasn't there.
[12:39] ---
    The eldest young master needs Miss Yue's birth data.
[12:42] ---
    He said he wouldn't be late,
[12:43] ---
    and was hanging around the House of Yue.
[12:46] ---
    In the past, the eldest young brother was hanging out outside,
[12:48] ---
    and didn't return home for half a year.
[12:51] ---
    Who would've thought that this time...
[12:52] ---
    Prepare the fastest horse.
[12:54] ---
    Okay.
[12:58] ---
    Why is he still doing things in his own way?
[12:59] ---
    Go and bring Shadow here.
[13:00] ---
    Sure.
[13:09] ---
    You feed the horses.
[13:11] ---
    Why did you come?
[13:12] ---
    If I don't come,
[13:13] ---
    who will look after Shadow?
[13:16] ---
    Don't say something without meaning it.
[13:18] ---
    Do you have another objective?
[13:20] ---
    Say something without meaning it?
[13:23] ---
    You said that it would be peaceful if the eldest young master died.
[13:25] ---
    In the end, didn't you choose the fastest horse to go to Luoyang?
[13:28] ---
    Men also don't say what they mean.
[13:30] ---
    You--
[13:31] ---
    Fine, fine.
[13:33] ---
    I came to help you.
[13:35] ---
    No need.
[13:37] ---
    Although you have the ability to play the stringless instrument,
[13:39] ---
    you can't see the tainted spirit's aura on the eldest young master's body.
[13:42] ---
    Spirit's aura?
[13:46] ---
    It looks like on this visit to Luoyang,
[13:47] ---
    I need to do more than just feed the horse.
[13:54] ---
    When we get to Changdaomen,
[13:56] ---
    unless I nod my head,
[13:57] ---
    don't talk to anyone else.
[13:59] ---
    If you can help,
[14:01] ---
    I'll pay you a hundred times your wage once.
[14:03] ---
    But if you cause trouble for me...
[14:05] ---
    You won't forgive me easily, right?
[14:09] ---
    But I don't need a hundred times wages.
[14:12] ---
    I only want you to grant me a small request.
[14:23] ---
    Second young master, please drink tea.
[14:28] ---
    How is the eldest young master doing?
[14:31] ---
    Brother is doing well.
[14:33] ---
    I'm visiting this time to see Miss Yue.
[14:37] ---
    Please arrange it quickly.
[14:40] ---
    In that case,
[14:42] ---
    please come this way.
[14:50] ---
    Second young master,
[14:51] ---
    this girl is...
[14:53] ---
    A handyman at the House of Si.
[14:54] ---
    The horses in the house are precious,
[14:56] ---
    and needs her to look after them.
[15:00] ---
    I'm afraid that as she hasn't seen the world,
[15:02] ---
    she'll be a laughing stock in Changdaomen.
[15:03] ---
    So I brought her with me to learn.
[15:12] ---
    Excuse me.
[15:16] ---
    Sorry.
[15:17] ---
    My daughter's scared of lights, especially lamps.
[15:20] ---
    We use pearls for illumination.
[15:30] ---
    It's been two years.
[15:32] ---
    I'm even suspecting that this isn't my daughter.
[15:35] ---
    Before, she used to chatter continuously like a bird,
[15:38] ---
    laughing non-stop from day to night.
[15:40] ---
    But now...
[15:43] ---
    Even if she's still upset about the boy,
[15:45] ---
    there's no need to be like this.
[15:48] ---
    My brother was in Luoyang for over a month,
[15:50] ---
    but always stayed here.
[15:54] ---
    Yes, it's my fault.
[15:56] ---
    If only I hadn't gone to the eldest young master for help.
[15:58] ---
    No need to say anything further.
[15:59] ---
    I just want to know my brother's daily routine here,
[16:02] ---
    especially before the coma.
[16:08] ---
    After the eldest young master arrived,
[16:09] ---
    he only saw Pingchuan once.
[16:11] ---
    After that, he had fun every day,
[16:13] ---
    and didn't catch crickets inside the house.
[16:15] ---
    He went out, bought a bunch of stuff and had me foot the bill.
[16:22] ---
    Did anything weird happen before this?
[16:25] ---
    I saw that he had no intention of worrying about Pingchuan,
[16:28] ---
    and asked him what his plans were.
[16:29] ---
    He told me to not worry,
[16:30] ---
    and that the item he needed would be here soon.
[16:33] ---
    With him here,
[16:34] ---
    Pingchuan would definitely get better.
[16:37] ---
    Two days later,
[16:38] ---
    he went inside Pingchuan's room,
[16:40] ---
    and told us all to not go inside.
[16:42] ---
    Only Xiaowei was left inside to serve.
[16:44] ---
    Xiaowei?
[16:54] ---
    This is Xiaowei.
[17:00] ---
    Greetings, boss.
[17:02] ---
    How has she been lately?
[17:04] ---
    Same as always, boss.
[17:06] ---
    She can only drink liquids, and can't swallow.
[17:10] ---
    Put the stuff down here.
[17:11] ---
    There's nothing to do today,
[17:13] ---
    so there's no need to come.
[17:15] ---
    Okay.
[17:16] ---
    I take my leave.
[17:22] ---
    Xiaowei is Pingchuan's personal maid.
[17:25] ---
    On that day, the eldest young master only had her stay inside the room.
[17:27] ---
    We waited until dawn, but no one came out.
[17:30] ---
    We went inside and had a look.
[17:31] ---
    Pingchuan was crying endlessly,
[17:32] ---
    and both the eldest young master and Xiaowei had passed out.
[17:37] ---
    Did Xiaowei say what had happened after waking up?
[17:40] ---
    Well...
[17:41] ---
    Xiaowei saw the eldest young master...
[17:48] ---
    ...kiss Pingchuan on the mouth.
[17:51] ---
    After that, he fell into a coma.
[17:57] ---
    My brother has never had any restraint.
[17:59] ---
    If he has caused offence,
[18:00] ---
    please excuse him.
[18:02] ---
    But in this case,
[18:04] ---
    Brother had the accident last month.
[18:06] ---
    Why was he only sent back to the House of Si recently?
[18:09] ---
    It's my fault.
[18:10] ---
    I thought the eldest young master would wake up like Xiaowei.
[18:14] ---
    But even after three days, he didn't open his eyes.
[18:22] ---
    I was afraid that second young master would blame me,
[18:24] ---
    so I sought medical treatment in Luoyang.
[18:26] ---
    In the end, no one could cure it.
[18:27] ---
    I was afraid of any further changes,
[18:29] ---
    so I asked Master Jin to take him back to your house.
[18:34] ---
    The eldest young master had an accident here at Changdaomen.
[18:36] ---
    If you want to take my head,
[18:38] ---
    I won't resist.
[18:40] ---
    It's not that serious.
[18:41] ---
    We're not here to punish you.
[18:43] ---
    You kneeling makes the House of Si look petty.
[18:46] ---
    Isn't that right, second young master?
[18:51] ---
    Your head won't be able to heal my brother.
[18:53] ---
    Why would I want it?
[18:54] ---
    Fine, fine.
[18:56] ---
    Our second young master is usually open minded.
[18:58] ---
    As he's already said this,
[18:59] ---
    you don't need to worry.
[19:02] ---
    Thank you for your generosity.
[19:05] ---
    Didn't you say that Miss Yue is upset and cries all day?
[19:08] ---
    Looking at her today,
[19:09] ---
    she seems like the living dead.
[19:12] ---
    After three or four days of the eldest young master being in a coma,
[19:14] ---
    for some reason Pingchuan suddenly became withdrawn,
[19:18] ---
    and stopped responding to the outside world.
[19:20] ---
    What did the maid say?
[19:22] ---
    Xiaowei said that Pingchuan could usually eat a lot,
[19:26] ---
    but overnight,
[19:27] ---
    besides walking or talking,
[19:28] ---
    she couldn't even swallow.
[19:31] ---
    She can only just drink liquids.
[19:34] ---
    There's nothing I can do about it.
[19:37] ---
    If this goes on,
[19:38] ---
    I'm afraid she won't survive this.
[19:42] ---
    Boss,
[19:43] ---
    what did our eldest young master buy and had you foot the bill?
[19:47] ---
    Alcohol, meat, make-up,
[19:50] ---
    lanterns, cotton threads and candles.
[19:53] ---
    Think about this again.
[19:57] ---
    That's right.
[19:58] ---
    There was also someone who wanted to be paid for his hard work.
[20:01] ---
    He said that the eldest young master used my name
[20:02] ---
    and collected lamp oil from a hundred families in the city.
[20:05] ---
    Where's the stuff now?
[20:07] ---
    They should be in the store room.
[20:11] ---
    As long as he can save my daughter,
[20:12] ---
    even if he wants Luoyang city,
[20:14] ---
    I'll think of a way to buy it.
[20:17] ---
    Boss truly is a generous person.
[20:18] ---
    Don't worry.
[20:19] ---
    What the eldest young master didn't finish
[20:21] ---
    will be completed by the second young master.
[20:26] ---
    Seriously?
[20:27] ---
    How about this? You go do your own thing,
[20:29] ---
    and leave the rest to us.
[20:30] ---
    Before we come out,
[20:31] ---
    don't let anyone come in.
[20:33] ---
    Just leave this pearl behind.
[20:36] ---
    Don't we need to do anything else?
[20:38] ---
    No need.
[20:41] ---
    Just wait for the good news.
[20:45] ---
    You already have an idea of what to do?
[20:47] ---
    Don't forget what you promised me.
[20:49] ---
    I don't break promises,
[20:50] ---
    unless you're talking nonsense.
[20:54] ---
    If my guess is correct,
[20:58] ---
    the eldest young master's soul is in there.
[21:09] ---
    But right now, they can't come out.
[21:12] ---
    They?
[21:14] ---
    The eldest young master came to catch a spirit.
[21:18] ---
    Which spirit?
[21:29] ---
    Candle.
