[00:17] ---
    Father. Mother.
[00:19] ---
    I do not want to marry Prince Ye.
[00:21] ---
    I do not even like him!
[00:23] ---
    Husband...
[00:24] ---
    The House of Grand Councilor has been on
    bad terms with the Ye Prince for a long time.
[00:27] ---
    If we let Shang'er marry him,
     her life will be ruined!
[00:32] ---
    Dear wife, I understand
    the graveness of the situation.
[00:37] ---
    However, the marriage was arranged
    by the emperor. How can I disobey?
[00:41] ---
    I wish there was some alternative...
[00:43] ---
    Father, you promised I could
    choose my own husband.
[00:48] ---
    I have never met Prince Ye.
[00:50] ---
    I would rather die than marry him.
[00:53] ---
    Shang'er, do not say such things.
[00:55] ---
    As long as I am here, I will not let you suffer.
[00:58] ---
    Mother...
[00:58] ---
    Husband, can we not find another solution?
[01:01] ---
    I see no other way.
[01:03] ---
    If we disobey, the entire House of
    Grand Councilor may well be executed.
[01:12] ---
    Shang'er, you are a woman now.
[01:15] ---
    Do this for your mother and me
    and we will ask no more of you.
[01:20] ---
    Father, I do not wish to marry.
[01:24] ---
    I am your only daughter.
[01:27] ---
    If I am not here, who will look
    after you and love you like I do?
[01:36] ---
    Husband...
[01:38] ---
    Shang'er... is not our only daughter.
[01:47] ---
    Dear wife, you speak of the girl
    on Spirit Cloud Mountain...
[01:55] ---
    No. That will not do.
[01:59] ---
    It would be lying to the emperor.
[02:05] ---
    Our entire clan would pay the price.
[02:24] ---
    It is no lie, husband.
[02:26] ---
    The emperor arranged for
    our eldest daughter to be wed,
[02:29] ---
    and Yunxi is our eldest.
[02:31] ---
    If that is not enough, we can
    swap their names and identities.
[02:50] ---
    They are both our daughters.
[02:53] ---
    No one will be able to tell them apart.
[03:19] ---
    There is sense in your suggestion, dear wife.
[03:22] ---
    We must consider how it
    would work in the long term.
[03:33] ---
    Of course. I am not their only daughter.
[03:36] ---
    I have an elder sister.
[03:38] ---
    The half-wit our family disowned.
[03:41] ---
    Wow, this is exciting!
[03:44] ---
    Marrying into that Ye den
    of wretches instead of me...
[03:46] ---
    She has finally become useful.
[03:49] ---
    My lady! You must not lift your veil!
    It is most improper.
[03:53] ---
    Oh, come on, let me have a sneaky peek.
[03:57] ---
    Oh, honestly, my lady.
    What do you need to peek at?
[04:01] ---
    Secret!
[05:31] ---
    Psychic Princess
[05:31] ---
    Psychic Princess
[05:35] ---
    Episode 1
[05:50] ---
    Getting married is such a chore.
    I haven't stopped since I got up.
[05:53] ---
    It's now evening and I still can't rest.
[05:56] ---
    What's the idea behind having me wait in here?
[06:02] ---
    Hey! How long do I have to sit here?
[06:05] ---
    Is there anything else I need to be doing?
[06:08] ---
    My lady, please do not
     rush your "wifely duties."
[06:11] ---
    Huh? What does that mean?
[06:15] ---
    Have patience and you will find out.
[06:18] ---
    The other concubines say that
    Prince Ye is an expert "swordsman."
[06:22] ---
    His night-time "swordplay" is masterful.
[06:28] ---
    What are you talking about?
    Prince Ye practices his swordplay at night?
[06:32] ---
    No, no. His Highness will be bathing now.
[06:36] ---
    Ah, so he finished practicing, huh?
[06:38] ---
    Practicing even on his wedding day...
    Maybe he's obsessed with martial arts.
[06:42] ---
    My lady, did you not know?
    The prince practices every night.
[06:47] ---
    His nickname is "The Night Thruster."
[06:50] ---
    Hold your tongue! Do you have a death wish?
[06:57] ---
    How could I forget that bit?
[06:59] ---
    I did my best, getting
    married in Shang'er's place,
[07:01] ---
    but facing him for real...
[07:03] ---
    Wh-Wh-What am I going to do?
[07:14] ---
    Excellent job today, sir.
[07:18] ---
    Oh no!
[07:19] ---
    He's coming now?
[07:20] ---
    This is my usual nightly
    routine, so I am used to it.
[07:22] ---
    You prepared your cock just now?
[07:24] ---
    Yes, I took great care
    in plucking it this time.
[07:33] ---
    Good, good. What do you plan to do with it?
[07:37] ---
    Tonight, we will begin with
    "Dragons Playing with a Pearl."
[07:44] ---
    Followed by "Flying Dragon
     and Dancing Phoenix."
[07:48] ---
    And then, we reach the climax:
[07:54] ---
    "Hundreds of Birds Salute the Phoenix."
[07:56] ---
    How marvelous.
[07:57] ---
    Yes, very good!
[07:59] ---
    Curse that man. I'll punch him
    if he dares to touch me.
[08:05] ---
    Finally, I can make a delicious soup with the
    chicken bones and a few other ingredients.
[08:10] ---
    Chicken bones? What the...
[08:14] ---
    Has he left?
[08:16] ---
    Your Highness!
[08:24] ---
    I have come tonight to tell you this.
[08:25] ---
    Where is she? She was here a moment ago...
[08:27] ---
    If His Imperial Majesty had not ordered it,
    you would not have set foot in my palace.
[08:33] ---
    Qian Aotian, you sly old fox...
[08:36] ---
    You would constrain me with
    a political union? Wishful thinking.
[08:44] ---
    You are naught but a pathetic pawn.
[08:49] ---
    Listen close. Only Nan Qingwan
    is fit to be my princess.
[08:54] ---
    Nan Qingwan?
[08:57] ---
    I see. So you like hiding?
[08:59] ---
    Perfect. I do not wish to see you, either.
[09:03] ---
    Attendants, fetch her maid, Su Rong.
[09:06] ---
    Move her out of the Hall
    of Esteemed Virtue tonight.
[09:08] ---
    A-And move her where?
[09:11] ---
    The Serenity Pavilion.
[09:17] ---
    Wh-Wh-Where did His Highness say?
[09:20] ---
    I-I think... the Serenity Pavilion...
[09:27] ---
    My lady, please do not be unhappy.
[09:30] ---
    Yes, His Highness has no doubt
    imbibed, and is not himself.
[09:32] ---
    He's right. I am a pathetic pawn.
[09:36] ---
    I am the misfortune of my parents made flesh.
[09:37] ---
    My lady? My lady?
[09:40] ---
    I would like to know if you're satisfied now.
[09:48] ---
    For I am extremely satisfied!
[09:54] ---
    I no longer have to worry about
    pleasing that idiot prince!
[10:02] ---
    Mother, I am free!
[10:04] ---
    I can finally leave this horrible place!
[10:05] ---
    She has lost her mind!
[10:07] ---
    I will go fetch Su Rong!
[10:08] ---
    Wait! I will come too!
[10:13] ---
    God's plans supersede our own.
[10:15] ---
    I thought the odds were stacked against me.
[10:17] ---
    I never thought fate would
    let me survive to the end.
[10:20] ---
    As long as I leave the House of
    Grand Councilor, it works for me!
[10:27] ---
    Why did you react so strangely
    at the mention of the Serenity Pavilion?
[10:30] ---
    The Serenity Pavilion is haunted.
[10:44] ---
    This place is nice.
[10:46] ---
    Not as nice as Spirit Cloud
    Mountain, but I give it ten points.
[11:05] ---
    This...
[11:09] ---
    Does the prince have to be so miserly?
[11:12] ---
    There are so many pretty buildings here...
    Why do I have to stay in this one?
[11:19] ---
    Su Rong, can you go ask His Highness
    to find me somewhere else to—
[11:24] ---
    My lady, I must excuse myself!
[11:33] ---
    Prince Ye? More like Prince Ye-diot!
[11:38] ---
    Making a poor, defenseless
    woman like me fend for myself...
[11:40] ---
    What a jerk!
[11:49] ---
    Evil Prince Ye-diot,
    I won't be beaten so easily.
[11:52] ---
    I, Qian Yunxi, grew up on Spirit
    Cloud Mountain like a wild animal.
[11:58] ---
    My instinct is to survive.
[11:59] ---
    Watch me clean this place up in no time.
[12:06] ---
    What the hey? This is rather embarrassing.
[12:09] ---
    It looks like I can't do it by myself.
[12:15] ---
    Okay, you leave me no choice.
    I will have to summon my servant.
[12:18] ---
    You have been chosen. Come forth, Mochi!
[12:26] ---
    How dare you keep me
    locked up for so long!
[12:31] ---
    Oh, sorry, I accidentally forgot
    about you. Please forgive me.
[12:37] ---
    You only care about marriage.
    How dare you forget about me!
[12:41] ---
    Oh, come on, you know why I got married, right?
[12:45] ---
    All right, all right. I'm sorry, okay?
[12:47] ---
    There's something I want you to—
[12:47] ---
    Say what you like. It won't
    stop me from punishing you.
[12:58] ---
    So that's what's going on.
    No wonder it's so shabby in here.
[13:01] ---
    I thought you were living the
    high life and forgot all about me.
[13:06] ---
    Every day since I started
    following you has been a bust.
[13:09] ---
    I thought coming to the bustling capital
    from the mountain would improve things.
[13:13] ---
    I didn't expect the House of Grand
    Councilor to bully and insult you.
[13:16] ---
    I never thought marrying
    a prince could change so little.
[13:21] ---
    Oh, I give up! Your name should
    be Jinxi instead of Yunxi.
[13:26] ---
    Oh, come on, complaining won't help.
[13:28] ---
    You've got to think positively, be optimistic,
     and do something meaningful like...
[13:32] ---
    Like what?
[13:33] ---
    Like getting this Serenity Pavilion all
    cleaned up. It'll make you feel much better.
[13:38] ---
    What? You want me to do donkey work?
[13:41] ---
    You're like a blind man
    selling a calendar — absurd!
[13:45] ---
    Come on, dear Mochi,
    cute Mochi. You're the best!
[13:49] ---
    Let's clean it up together. Pretty please?
[13:54] ---
    No! Absolutely not!
[13:58] ---
    You know, I can't do it without you.
[14:04] ---
    Fine. I'll help you this once.
[14:31] ---
    Serenity Pavilion
[14:38] ---
    This is all that evil Prince Ye-diot's fault.
[14:42] ---
    Next time you see him,
    be sure to play a prank on him.
[14:43] ---
    Prince what? As if I care about some prince.
[14:45] ---
    Maybe save your energy and figure out how
    to live in this place from now on, yeah?
[14:50] ---
    I'm not worried about that.
    Good things happen to lucky people.
[14:53] ---
    Since we live in this big house now,
    there will be food and drink every day...
[14:58] ---
    Oh, that's right. I've been busy all day
    and haven't even had a chance to eat.
[15:03] ---
    I'm hungry, too.
[15:05] ---
    What about your optimism? Can we eat that?
[15:07] ---
    If we don't eat well, how can we sleep well?
    A midnight snack is in order.
[15:12] ---
    Who's going to give you food
    in the middle of the night?
[15:18] ---
    We won't rely on others. We'll go by ourselves!
[15:20] ---
    Go where?
[15:24] ---
    I did a little reconnaissance earlier.
[15:35] ---
    As soon as I got here,
    I checked out where the kitchen was.
[15:40] ---
    Are we there yet? This place is so big.
[15:44] ---
    Hey, wait for me! Don't run so fast!
    I can't keep up with you!
[15:50] ---
    No, something's wrong.
[15:52] ---
    Something nearby must
    be draining my strength.
[16:07] ---
    Shhh, be quiet.
[16:09] ---
    We'll be spotted if we
    make noise this late at night.
[16:12] ---
    So you have an accomplice?
[16:22] ---
    Who are you?
[16:24] ---
    Who am I?
[16:25] ---
    Oh shoot, he thinks I'm a thief...
[16:27] ---
    I asked you who you were.
[16:28] ---
    You want to know who I am?
[16:30] ---
    Who sent you?
[16:32] ---
    Who sent you?
[16:33] ---
    I asked you that!
[16:34] ---
    Who's asking?
[16:36] ---
    I am—
[16:38] ---
    I am a palace guard. Do you
    have any idea where you are?
[16:42] ---
    Prince Ye-diot's palace.
[16:43] ---
    How dare you! You break into the
    Ye Princely Palace and spout such nonsense?
[16:47] ---
    Give yourself up or be captured!
[17:00] ---
    You claim to be a guard?
[17:01] ---
    Guards don't usually wander around at night
    wearing weird gowns instead of a uniform.
[17:09] ---
    Or maybe... you're having an affair?
[17:13] ---
    If you dare approach me, I'll start yelling
    and everyone in the palace will find out!
[17:23] ---
    He's fast! A master of the arts?
[17:35] ---
    Rats, my joints are locked.
[17:39] ---
    Mochi! What are you doing?
    Hurry up and help me!
[17:43] ---
    That ungrateful brat!
[17:45] ---
    Where the heck is he when I need him?
[17:56] ---
    Lucky I had the psychedelic
    smoke Master gave me.
[18:06] ---
    You absolute waste of space. You owe me a meal!
[18:11] ---
    Curses, I let that wretch get away.
[18:12] ---
    Your Highness, are you injured?
[18:14] ---
    I am fine.
[18:18] ---
    It is the smoke making me feel weak.
[18:23] ---
    This is definitely not from the capital.
[18:26] ---
    Is this the handiwork of that
    old scoundrel, Qian Aotian?
[18:34] ---
    Master told me life is not decided by fate.
[18:37] ---
    You can change your fate
    through your own efforts.
[18:41] ---
    As such, I do not believe in fate.
[18:44] ---
    I believe only in myself.
[18:52] ---
    I believe only in myself.
[18:54] ---
    I am Qian Yunxi, and nobody
    gets to tell me what to do!
[19:05] ---
    Ah, Mochi! How did you fix this?!
[19:08] ---
    Help me move this sign!
