**[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!
