My fiancé drugged me for my sister; I wed the prince, and he drowned in regret.

[00:00:11]Don't you remember what happened that night? Speak.

[00:00:16]>> Seriously, you still suspect me?

[00:00:22]>> Why couldn't I control myself that night? Did you drug me?

[00:00:26]Bro, it's the shameless author controlling you. Would you believe me if I told you?

[00:00:32]>> Speak. What do you want? After my crown.

[00:00:35]Hm.

[00:00:36]>> Your highness. Dad. Dad. Dad. I really don't know how to explain this to you, but I'm a victim, too. Think about it.

[00:00:44]If I really wanted to be your princess consort, why would I volunteer to be your sworn sister?

[00:00:59]Let's pretend that night never happened.

[00:01:03]You wed your true love. I'll stay a noble lady and we'll both thrive.

[00:01:10]Deal. Huh?

[00:01:13]>> So, is it real indifference or just playing hard to get? How clever.

[00:01:19]>> Who cares about being some damn princess? I'd rather take our mountains of gold and disappear forever.

[00:01:28][sighs] You're wrong. You're the capital's top gold digger. That country bumpkin Jung Waning can hold a candle to you. You and the crown prince are childhood sweethearts. If he betrays you, my father will impeach him.

[00:01:48]Thank you, sisters. The crown prince won't betray me. But my sister and he are betrothed by royal decree. Yurong, don't be scared. Let's go teach him a lesson. Come on. We're finding him now.

[00:02:06]Ah, your highness.

[00:02:27]>> The crown prince wields power and troops. He'll stop at nothing to claim me. While he lives, I must feain devotion.

[00:02:35]Don't mistake my act, >> Yuro. When can we finally be together openly without hiding from my elder brother? Mother had our escape planned that night until Jung Wani lied about the prince being heaven sentent, and father believed her.

[00:02:54]>> "Jiro, you must believe me. My heart belongs to you alone, but I'm bound by forces beyond my control.

[00:03:08]What's this?

[00:03:18]Just say you want to see your sweetheart.

[00:03:22]Why drag me out? It's boiling. Who meets in gardens now?

[00:03:28]>> Keep that tongue and I'll cut it off.

[00:03:33]Stop. Go get someone to move this. Now you face the crown prince. He's displeased.

[00:03:52]>> Make pay. Yang. Wait. Roast him in the sun.

[00:04:02]Kinskin D already.

[00:04:13]There.

[00:04:16]Here comes the standard humiliation for the mosquito killing female lad.

[00:04:22]Hey, you're that country girl the Hawaiian house dragged here? Such trash doesn't belong near the crown prince.

[00:04:30]You wret.

[00:04:32]Your assassin screams trapped us in the palace. Let go. Let go.

[00:04:37]>> Let me go.

[00:04:39]>> She's my sister. Whatever she does, she's family. Please spare her. Yuru, you're just too kind.

[00:04:48]First of all, my name isn't Juan, it's Jung W. Second, if I'm a hick, what's your city pride? Third, shut it. Hey, you. I'm talking to you. Let go right now. Get your hands off me. Stop. Ah.

[00:05:07]>> Yuro, you all right?

[00:05:09]>> Stop.

[00:05:12]>> Ah, >> stop that right now.

[00:05:16]>> Ah, >> Yuru. All right. Classic misunderstood heroine trope.

[00:05:28]>> Jang Wan Yin. Touch Yuro today and you'll die without a grave.

[00:05:34]>> That's just how our tragic heroine is always one step away from a gruesome death.

[00:05:38]>> Sigh.

[00:05:40]>> My dress is just slightly soiled. Why would your highness make such a fuss over it?

[00:05:51]Your Highness. Your Highness. What's wrong? Your Highness. Wait, I think he's coming, too. Oh no. Did I leave him out in the sun too long? My life comes first. I'm out of here. Your Highness, wake up. Your Highness. My Lord, what happened?

[00:06:14]Here's a cooling pill.

[00:06:25]This is Kin Ren Valley's love potion like those pills.

[00:06:30]The drinker falls madly for whoever they see first. Give it to my brother. Then show him your sister. His heart will change.

[00:06:40]>> Won't cling.

[00:06:42]The fourth prince is wise and witty, a strong contender for the crown. But the eldest prince holds military power. His battle achievements equally formidable.

[00:06:50]Yuru, >> I won't let go of any. You'll pay the price, too.

[00:06:54]>> Sire, your highness, wake up. It's Yuru. Look at me.

[00:07:08]>> We're going to die. Holy Run you.

[00:07:16]I I I >> ah >> go >> run for your life. Do you honestly believe you can just take me down that easily?

[00:07:36]You saved me. You must become my princess.

[00:07:42]You saved me. You must become my princess.

[00:07:48]>> Your highness, mind your wound. Don't tear it.

[00:07:51]>> Let me save one.

[00:07:54]Move it.

[00:07:58]Mark my words. If Wan doesn't recover after today's leaks, you'll all die for it.

[00:08:09]What the hell are you doing now?

[00:08:11]>> You're ungrateful. I'm only lenient since you saved me.

[00:08:16]>> Perfect.

[00:08:19]The emperor arrives with the fourth prince.

[00:08:24]>> Your son greets you, father emperor.

[00:08:27]You've suffered greatly. With two imperial guests bestowed today, I'm certain your majesty will give you due justice. Father, Miss Jung Wan saved my brother from repeated assassinations.

[00:08:39]On my way here, I overheard workers gossiping that his highness publicly declared he'd make the young lady his princess consort.

[00:08:48]Father, didn't you say they were like siblings when I tried to arrange their marriage earlier?

[00:08:57]I was determined to make you my princess. What was happening? Why did my heart feel like it was being controlled back then?

[00:09:07]>> How could Miss John's devoted assistance to the eldest prince be merely sibling affection?

[00:09:14]The crown prince will wed you. Just say yes and his majesty will decree your marriage.

[00:09:22]Father, listen.

[00:09:24]Jang agreed. H >> the thoughts of young people these days are truly unfathomable.

[00:09:32]Just yesterday they were swearing sibling devotion and today they're pledging undying love. Very well then.

[00:09:40]Considering Yanlon<unk>'s outstanding contributions, I shall graciously set aside past grievances and personally endorse this matrimonial union. Father, brother, how can you break your vow again? Are you insulting our father or just heartless?

[00:09:57]What about Miss Jung?

[00:10:02]>> No, please.

[00:10:04]>> Your humble son receives the decree.

[00:10:09]>> Miss, your injuries haven't fully healed yet. You shouldn't even be out of bed in the first place. Forget about those wounds. Your lady's very life is hanging by a thread.

[00:10:21]Damn it. Another force marriage. Can I ever stop being controlled? Is your lady displeased with this marriage? His highness, the crown prince, excels in both civil and military arts. He's the dream husband of countless noble ladies.

[00:10:39]These male lead tropes made me sick when I read the novel. What the hell was the author thinking writing this military woman crap? This heroine's golden halo and cheat skills are just begging for a beating.

[00:11:02]Oh my god. Ha.

[00:11:05]Oh dear. Oh my goodness gracious.

[00:11:11]I need to make a plan.

[00:11:21]If only Pay Yama Yang would just drop dead for no reason.

[00:11:26]That damn man lost his mother Young. The emperor only doted on the concubine.

[00:11:32]What a disastrous start. And yet he still managed to rebel in the end. But the emperor sigh with skills like that.

[00:11:43]Why didn't he just star in his own male lead story?

[00:11:48]Why did he have to go and torment the mermaid here?

[00:11:54]Definitely.

[00:12:02]Ah, it's simply impossible for me to ever defeat him. Then I suppose the best strategy is to make a swift retreat.

[00:12:18]Heal up first, then flee.

[00:12:28]Don't see me. Don't see me. Don't see me. Don't see me. Help me. Help me.

[00:12:52]Is this the resentment from Hayan Manor?

[00:12:55]Am I really losing my mind?

[00:12:59]>> Back here again.

[00:13:18]Oh, Prince. Fancy meeting you out for a walk, huh?

[00:13:25]>> I did it myself.

[00:13:30]Why climb walls with that bag when you should be resting?

[00:13:34]>> Oh no, I'm healed.

[00:13:37]What now? Think fast, you fool. I've got it. I missed you so much, your highness, that I prepared this visit especially for you.

[00:13:52]>> King Fu, go back.

[00:13:54]>> Going now.

[00:14:01]Damn. Why can't I resist wanting you?

[00:14:06]Damn. Your highness has been knocking for so long. What the hell, hero? You planned this.

[00:14:18]Oh. Haha.

[00:14:24]Thank you for saving me, your highness.

[00:14:27]Now that I've seen you, I'll take my leave.

[00:14:31]Damn.

[00:14:44]>> Oh, don't trouble yourself, your highness. It's late. I'll go back alone.

[00:14:50]>> First you break in to see me. Now you rush me out. Make up your mind. Lord Jung, what kind of game are you playing?

[00:15:02]Fine, I'll see you out today. I'll uncover your true face.

[00:15:07]>> Damn you, Pean Leang. Just let me go.

[00:15:12]Get lost.

[00:15:19]Ah, it seems Waning has already won the first prince's heart. I heard Shiru has been meeting frequently with the fourth prince lately.

[00:15:37]Well, the fourth prince has the imperial consort's backing. That's quite a formidable advantage, too.

[00:15:44]>> Haha. Yes, indeed. That's precisely the case.

[00:15:51]It's all you, Rose.

[00:16:03]>> Ah, you should go now.

[00:16:09]>> Release me. Why does my heart feel this aching emptiness?

[00:16:16]Jang Wan Yin, ever since I met you, why do I feel like I'm losing control of myself? Were all these carefully planned encounters with you designed to deliberately seduce me, your highness?

[00:16:28]Or could it be that you're harboring ulterior motives with hidden intentions?

[00:16:35]>> I swear to heaven, I truly had no ulterior motives that afternoon. None at all.

[00:16:48]You're hiding something.

[00:16:50]>> Whoa. No, no, no.

[00:17:02]>> Huh? Me?

[00:17:04]>> You what? Uh, I >> my most honorable highness, >> you're completely and utterly obsessed with me, aren't you?

[00:17:42]So from the very beginning, you approached me just to seduce me, didn't you?

[00:17:49]>> Seduce you?

[00:17:53]>> Me?

[00:17:54]>> I can see you're a hopeless romantic yourself. How could I possibly blame you?

[00:18:02]>> Don't you agree? Oh dear, your highness.

[00:18:06]You can eat whatever you want, but you can't just say whatever comes to mind.

[00:18:12]Haha.

[00:18:15]Jang Waning, you should really learn to behave with more restraint from now on.

[00:18:20]No more of this shameless throwing yourself into my arms.

[00:18:31]Huh? What on earth has gotten into him all the sudden? Oh my goodness.

[00:18:42]So that's what this is all about.

[00:18:45]Multiplied by scoffs, multiplied by Oh dear heavens, what an utterly ridiculous misunderstanding we've got here.

[00:18:56]What a huge misunderstanding.

[00:19:00]Ah, your highness, do you still remember the marriage arrangement made for us by the late empress?

[00:19:08]>> Of course, I remember, but that was just a childhood gest from my late mother.

[00:19:13]Moreover, I've been betrothed to Jang Wani by imperial decree. She once saved my life, and her devotion to me runs deep. By duty and by heart, I cannot and will not break this bond. So from now on, >> let's not dwell on the past.

[00:19:33]>> Is it that you can't or won't break free?

[00:19:36]>> I >> to grow so attached to Jang Waning in such a short time. Lovers Valley truly works wonders. Once Yurro learns of this, she'll try to let go of her admiration for his highness.

[00:19:56]Damn Jang Wan.

[00:19:58]Lovers Valley was meant for me. You stole my chance, but I'll still turn his highness against you.

[00:20:09]Miss, enough.

[00:20:11]Your 99th escape this month failed again. Just quit.

[00:20:17]Marrying the crown prince isn't so bad.

[00:20:21]No way.

[00:20:23]After 99 tries, I know every path here.

[00:20:27]Tonight's perfect. I'll make it.

[00:20:33]Shang Yur, what brings you here? Moon gazing. Join me in my courtyard. Why is my moon rounder than yours?

[00:20:43]You see right through me, sis. You wrong. Should I say this then? Shut up.

[00:20:50]I just want to laz around. No forced romance. The prince's birthday's coming.

[00:20:56]Years alone. Not even one longevity noodle.

[00:21:03]The original plots back to haunt me.

[00:21:06]After Jung Wong's tip, I made longevity noodles for the male lead only to learn his birthdays the late emperor's death day. Worst timing ever.

[00:21:26]You knew today was my mother's death anniversary. Yet you brought this bowl of noodles to disgust me. What's your real game here?

[00:21:34]>> No, I mean yes, your highness.

[00:21:38]>> Very well. Eat this entire bowl before me now.

[00:21:52]I'm not sticking around for this torture scene. Time to make a run for it.

[00:22:07]The Western Queen's tablet.

[00:22:13]I've got a bad feeling about this.

[00:22:19]Oh. Haha. Well, well, well.

[00:22:28]Longevity noodles.

[00:22:31]The author is pushing the plot.

[00:22:52]>> Your Majesty, the late Empress was kind to me. I must pay respects today.

[00:23:00]That's thoughtful.

[00:23:09]So tasty. The male lead's taste is awful. Junguru knew the taboos. She tricked the female lead on purpose. Who knew the saint was actually vicious? The novel missed so much.

[00:23:24]>> Mother, the consort stole father's love.

[00:23:28]shamed you, denied you the imperial tomb. I vow to avenge you."

[00:23:35]>> The tragic mom who died young and the unfair dad along with the broken family really tugged at readers heartstrings in the comments section.

[00:23:50]Sis hiding here for the empress. Hey Who asked you?

[00:24:03]>> Did I want to come?

[00:24:06]>> Your highness, these temple incense are for her majesty. Let's light them.

[00:24:21]Oh, sister. What's in this stone box of yours?

[00:24:27]Oh, dear sister. How could you possibly bring longevity noodles here? Wait now.

[00:24:32]What exactly are you saying, little sister? I'm here for the late empress, too. Why say I brought noodles? What's this? Noodles.

[00:24:43]>> What does this mean?

[00:24:47]>> The queen's spirit told me what happened at Punning Palace.

[00:24:51]She wanted your highness to know for closure.

[00:24:55]>> Our secret. How you know?

[00:24:58]>> Of course, I learned from novels. Every scumbag male lead gets a tragic backstory to whitewash his sins. As a child, while playing with the fourth prince, he mistakenly took dolls into the inner palace. The imperial consort framed him, making the empress die of grief, a pain he can never overcome. How dare you be so bold as to deceive me? Do you realize what will happen to you?

[00:25:24]>> If your highness doesn't believe me, I I can even swallow some blood.

[00:25:32]Let me consult the queen for you, your highness. If chopsticks stand in water, it proves her will.

[00:25:40]Sisters gone mad. Chopsticks can stand in water. Wait. Water's surface tension can make them stay. Saw this in the science show. Never thought I'd need this trick now.

[00:25:56]Sister, if you dare deceive his highness before the late empress, do you know the price you'll have to pay?

[00:26:04]Ding-dong, your highness.

[00:26:10]The money really worked. Mother, do you truly forgive your child?

[00:26:18]One.

[00:26:22]>> Thanks.

[00:26:26]Haha. I never expected you'd be this cunning. All those years in the countryside have taught you quite a few tricks, haven't they? Now that you've won his highness favor, I must say I'm truly envious. Dear sister, snide remarks about me being crude. Such a hypocrite.

[00:26:45]This act is totally fake. Oh, sister, don't trouble yourself with matters between me and your brother-in-law.

[00:26:56]>> Really? He bought it?

[00:27:00]>> My prince, your love deserves mine.

[00:27:04]>> Stop it right now. Haha. Must you keep going on like this with outsiders present? Are we really getting in your way that badly?

[00:27:18]Father would never listen to such sweet talk in his life. Huh? Got to go. I'll check on Juny Yu.

[00:27:30]What's wrong with this guy? Fell for me over one off-hand remark.

[00:27:41]Well, hello there little sister.

[00:27:51]>> Not again.

[00:27:52]>> One.

[00:27:54]>> My fault. Your highness, not hers.

[00:28:03]Even if you love me, you can't treat Yuru like this.

[00:28:08]>> No.

[00:28:09]>> No.

[00:28:09]>> Your highness, do you realize what you're saying?

[00:28:13]>> My apologies for him. Yuro, please forgive us.

[00:28:19]>> The novel's plot seems to be going crazy. Woo! Your highness, what happened today wasn't because I fancy you. No more explanations.

[00:28:31]As Princess Consort, you must avoid such provocations.

[00:28:36]>> Forget it.

[00:28:39]>> Sigh.

[00:28:40]>> Um, >> very well then, go ahead and show it to me now.

[00:28:45]>> What is it?

[00:28:47]>> Jang Yurro already told me about the birthday gift you prepared for me. While I've always been wary of such things, since you're so determined to give it, I suppose I can reluctantly accept it.

[00:28:59]Damn it, Jung Yur set me up again.

[00:29:15]Just dump this worthless thing on him, even if it's broken.

[00:29:22]This jade pendant looks familiar. A probably worthless. Anyway, >> happy birthday, sire.

[00:29:35]>> Hey, he is Egypt's king.

[00:29:49]This sache scheme and this jade pendant here, though its craftsmanship is rather poor, serves as a lover's pledge so strikingly direct and fervent. Truly, what a daring young woman she is.

[00:30:08]I find this rather amusing. Since that's the case, I'll indulge this little whim of his.

[00:30:18]Ah, now this is the life. No man around to complicate things.

[00:30:22]>> That's my daughter for you. Wonderful news. Absolutely wonderful.

[00:30:27]>> Oh, good news. The prince died.

[00:30:31]>> Oh, dear child. What nonsense are you saying? His royal highness personally petitioned the emperor to bring forward your wedding date.

[00:30:39]>> It's set for next month. What?

[00:30:47]This can't be real. Oh, >> auntie.

[00:30:53]The imperial physician said, "You fainted from being overly excited. I know you must be preoccupied.

[00:30:59]Preoccupied with our wedding date being moved up. But no matter what, you must take care of your health first."

[00:31:08]Huh?

[00:31:14]Huh?

[00:31:18]This is utterly outrageous.

[00:31:21]With our wedding just a month away, are you deliberately trying to destroy me?

[00:31:28]As the female lead in this tragic story, what's the difference between marriage and a death sentence?

[00:31:35]>> My lord, what do you mean by this?

[00:31:38]You're playing these mind games with me, isn't it? just to make me do your bidding.

[00:31:43]>> Big brother, how could I possibly scheme against you? It's clearly you who's trying to rip my heart and soul out.

[00:32:00]Mark my words. I'm walking away this instant. Go to hell.

[00:32:10]What? Impossible.

[00:32:18]No way.

[00:32:23]>> Sire Guan Nan, tell me this. Why would a woman who deeply loves a man insist on breaking off their engagement?

[00:32:35]I cannot say for certain, but my own wife often speaks contrary to her true feelings.

[00:32:42]>> So that's it. She says she wants to break it off, but is she just throwing a tantrum because she thinks I don't care enough?

[00:32:54]>> One month. One month. Just one month. If I don't run far enough and keep getting dragged back, if I don't get out of here soon, I'm done for.

[00:33:04]Miss Lady Feather Down sent you a spring banquet invite.

[00:33:10]H the Moon Maiden plot. They'll find men's clothes in my room at the feast. I'll be disgraced. Even the princess will think I'm chasing men.

[00:33:24]>> You harlot. I renounce our betroal.

[00:33:28]>> Absolutely.

[00:33:30]Calling off the engagement. This story line isn't just happening. I'm going to play it out with full dramatic flare.

[00:33:37]Ha.

[00:33:41]>> You blocked my way. Mid decree.

[00:33:45]>> Oh, damn.

[00:33:53]Your highness. Just a chance meeting.

[00:33:55]Why wreck my carriage?

[00:33:56]>> Prince Ja, with our wedding approaching, there's no need to arrange such an encounter just to see me.

[00:34:05]>> No, no, your highness, what on earth did I do to give you that impression?

[00:34:10]>> How could this be false? You're so openly passionate. How could I not know?

[00:34:17]>> No, your highness, it's not what you think, >> my lord. I don't know why, but every time I see you in my heart, it's like I'm being controlled. My heart races wildly. My mind grows faint. I think in this lifetime, you'll be my one and only princess consort.

[00:34:35]>> Oh, your highness, you're genuinely in love with me. This kind of romance, it's the dream every suffering heroine like me was meant to have.

[00:34:46]Oh, your highness, shouldn't you be saying these things to Jung Yuru instead?

[00:34:52]>> Yuro, >> are you jealous by any chance? If it really bothers you, I'm willing to explain everything between me and Jung Yuru.

[00:35:05]>> Stop. Enough. I'm not jealous. Just leave. Go.

[00:35:10]>> Prince Cow, you're such a hypocrite.

[00:35:15]I don't want to hear this nonsense anymore. I'm out of here.

[00:35:27]That's absurd. The male lead would never be this devoted. Miss, the eldest prince treats you well. Exert this unfair to him.

[00:35:38]Oh, pafted.

[00:35:42]Hand over the money. All three of these men are mine now.

[00:35:52]Oh no. Fourth prince. My bracelet is missing. That was the token of love you gave me.

[00:36:00]>> What happened?

[00:36:01]>> Your highness, I believe I saw the young mistress wearing it on her wrist.

[00:36:05]>> How dare you lay hands on Yasu's belongings.

[00:36:16]Right on Q. Jung Yaru should be storming in with her lackey any moment now. Let this scandal of infidelity explode into an absolute firestorm.

[00:36:31]Once this day is over, my reputation is ruined. Even if I wanted to be the crown princess now, it'd be impossible.

[00:36:45]For the rest of my life, I'll have money, leisure, and handsome men. Ha.

[00:36:56]I just made the mistake any woman would make, didn't I?

[00:37:06]one.

[00:37:14]>> Your highness, >> you came alone.

[00:37:22]>> I came to surprise you. But look at these greens, reds, purples.

[00:37:30]What are they doing here?

[00:37:32]>> Haha. Let me introduce you to my new favorite. H my latest prized possession.

[00:37:43]Jung Wu, you're nothing but a shameless flirt.

[00:37:46]>> Wait, wait, wait. Next line. I >> I, your lawful husband, hereby declare our marriage over. I am your one true Lord.

[00:38:03]What are you all standing around gawking for? You look like a bunch of feather dusters. Squeam, >> stop, little rain, where are they? Can my beast be destroyed or not? Oh, dear your highness. How could I possibly bear to part with any of these three?

[00:38:28]Oh my, just look at this one's fabulous figure. This lovely lady here has both beauty and charm. And wow, this other one is simply flawless from head to toe.

[00:38:43]>> A drag.

[00:38:46]>> Off script.

[00:38:50]Sister, give back my stolen J bracelet.

[00:38:54]Oh, right. You want that bracelet? Go ahead and search my room. Hurry up. Jang Yuruo search away. Haha.

[00:39:07]Jing way know what's in your room. Miss, look. Men's clothes in her chamber. How yuchiens? Yes. Yes. Yes. Mine. Mine.

[00:39:17]Haha. Mine. Haha. Hey. Mine. Mine. A woo.

[00:39:24]>> The clothes are mine. And so am I.

[00:39:27]Anything to add?

[00:39:30]This the crown prince took the adulterer blame for Lord Jang.

[00:39:37]>> If you have nothing more to say, close the door.

[00:39:42]Your highness, would you kindly escort our guests out now?

[00:39:49]Forgive the intrusion, brother. I'll take my leave.

[00:40:21]The venom clouded the crown prince's mind. With two-way tension shifting, the fourth prince fall changes everything. I must get the crown prince's letter. I need to find a way to obtain the antidote for the poison.

[00:40:39]Oh, what are you doing? If you're angry about what happened today, just call off the engagement.

[00:40:49]Just break it off. There's no need to get violent.

[00:41:18]This was my late mother's cherished hairpin meant to be given to my future wife.

[00:41:24]>> The hard hair pin, Ednus, the very hairpin the male lead later falls in love with and buries with the female lead. I'm still alive.

[00:41:34]Why give this now? Am I dying?

[00:41:40]I promise you I did consider marrying Januro before returning to the capital but only because she pleased my mother in our childhood.

[00:41:50]Mother had joked a few times about wanting her as a daughter-in-law.

[00:41:55]Before I met you, I never knew what love was.

[00:41:59]I only wanted to fulfill my mother's wish. But after meeting you, I finally understood what it means to have your heart skip a beat.

[00:42:13]Can you please stop being jealous?

[00:42:16]There's truly nothing between Jung Yurro and me. And don't make me angry like you did today.

[00:42:23]>> If you truly love me from the bottom of your heart, then you must genuinely want to spend the rest of your life with me.

[00:42:31]Sure.

[00:42:33]>> What in the world is going wrong here?

[00:42:36]Why is the story line being forced forward yet somehow veering off into this completely twisted direction?

[00:42:47]>> Our wedding is less than a month away.

[00:42:51]I'll spend every moment of our future by your side.

[00:43:07]Hold on. Has the plot actually taken a turn? So, this male lead isn't just handsome, but also filthy rich.

[00:43:18]Does this mean I really could possibly wake up? This is a tragic story. Later, he'll be drowning in 3,000 women's arms, still whispering about you. His sweet words. All lies.

[00:43:37]I'VE GOT TO RUN FOR MY LIFE.

[00:43:48]Failure breeds success. I'm free at last.

[00:43:53]John Y. Breaking Passion's chains. Hey girl, >> hear it. Refugees flood the city. The prince marches.

[00:44:02]>> Helping.

[00:44:04]>> Who might you be?

[00:44:06]>> Just a passer by.

[00:44:07]>> Forget it.

[00:44:09]>> Farewell. Screw you. Damn it. How can a random passer by trigger military intelligence?

[00:44:28]Not a grain left. Still the hero.

[00:44:32]Stealing relief food from my army.

[00:44:35]Building a rebel empire with stolen rice.

[00:44:39]Crumbling slums. Classic tyrant. How dare these refugee protest.

[00:44:45]Here, little one. This bowl of porridge is for you.

[00:44:50]I'm not hungry. You eat a bit more.

[00:44:53]Thank you, miss.

[00:44:58]Worried about the male lead's exhausting disaster relief work, the heroine insisted on coming to personally care for him. She suffered through countless hardships to finally find him, only to have him ride past without even stopping. So, the author put the heroine here just to have refugees attack the male lead and make her take a stab or him. I thought he'd changed.

[00:45:19]still stealing relief grain. What a scoundrel. The author made me a refugee just so I could take a stab for him and he ended up killing me anyway.

[00:45:28]>> Prince arrives.

[00:45:43]Look, that's food. Thank goodness WE'RE SAVED AT LAST.

[00:45:48]WAIT, THAT'S NOT RIGHT. DID NOTE THE novel say the relief grain was embezzled.

[00:45:56]>> The fourth prince stole relief grain to frame your highness. With refugees flooding in, selling your assets for food won't last. The fallout would be disastrous, sire.

[00:46:09]>> So, it was the fourth prince who embezzled the grain. The real world is far more complicated than any novel could depict.

[00:46:19]Aunt Ivy, you stayed in the capital. Why the rush? Trouble in the city?

[00:46:24]>> Your highness, the princess went out alone 3 days back.

[00:46:27]>> She's gone. I searched.

[00:46:29]>> Princess vanished in capital.

[00:46:32]>> She's gone. Gan, I must return to the capital. Find the princess. You take charge here. Keep orderer.

[00:46:38]>> Sire.

[00:46:42]Huh? What's there to look for? I'm alive and kicking, aren't I? The male lead actually has some backbone. Seems like we really wronged him about the relief fund scandal.

[00:46:54]>> Die, you damn spirit.

[00:46:58]Assassins, protect me, >> sire.

[00:47:01]>> Ah.

[00:47:04]>> Uh, what gives you the right to stop me?

[00:47:24]Hey, pay.

[00:47:29]Yo, yong, grab that dog. How's the plot?

[00:47:33]Derailed.

[00:47:35]Pi wa yang.

[00:47:46]He's dying. Do it now. No one will know.

[00:47:50]His death ends the story. Sets me free.

[00:48:02]This is the yellow heart pendant my queen mother left me. Shiaozen's future wife. I'll be with you for the rest of our days.

[00:48:16]>> Kill me. Me.

[00:48:29]>> Hi, Leon. You saved my life today, so I'll spare yours. But if you ever dare to bully me, I swear I'll haunt you even as a ghost.

[00:48:44]>> Luckily, the assassin was already hurt, so I finished him off or we'd be lying here instead.

[00:48:53]>> My lady, I'll never forget this.

[00:48:57]>> Perfect.

[00:49:13]the prince residence.

[00:49:19]What kind of assassin carries ID while killing? Author, could you make the protagonist cheat any more obvious?

[00:49:30]Your highness, I was slightly delayed.

[00:49:32]>> I've just obtained intelligence, indicating that the fourth prince funneled relief funds into the capital's infamous tower of excess, but its vast grounds and tight security have kept our agents from locating the vault. Rumors in the capital blame your highness for the riots, accusing you of embezzling relief funds. The emperor has ordered your return for trial.

[00:49:58]Let's go. I caught them red-handed.

[00:50:04]On our way back to the capital, we can't risk exposing our identities yet. So, would you be willing to pretend we're married?

[00:50:13]>> Oh, the penniles prince wants to wed me.

[00:50:18]What's your game? A freebie.

[00:50:33]the tally.

[00:50:36]>> I'm giving you this to show you this military tally is everything I own right now. I'm penniless, but this thing is mine. If I ever become wealthy, you can use it to marry or ruin me completely.

[00:50:56]Old cow, are you tempted?

[00:51:07]>> Hey, hey, scram. You filthy wretch. Know your place.

[00:51:13]Ah, you damn bastard.

[00:51:17]Drinking, whoring, gambling, you real pro at it all. YOUR BULLETS FLY FASTER THAN YOUR DEBTS. And my so-called teammates left me in this hell hole. Let me into the damn camp. I'll fight you to the death. Just open up and let me in.

[00:51:35]Wait for the sign.

[00:51:36]>> No risks.

[00:51:38]>> Hurry up. Cover me outside. Nothing's going to go wrong.

[00:51:45]Look, man. Just bad luck today. Bet you are my stake. I'll win it back. Sell you now. Mail you later.

[00:51:52]>> You look promising. All right. How much you betting?

[00:52:17]Hold new here.

[00:52:25]Know the rules.

[00:52:28]Hey, you get your ass to the kitchen right now and start helping out. Chop.

[00:52:33]shop. Move it.

[00:52:49]>> My lord, the sobering soup is ready.

[00:52:52]Drink up.

[00:52:53]>> Come a little closer, my lovely beauty.

[00:52:59]Your delicate brows and eyes resemble my elder brother's promised bride.

[00:53:09]My lord, what are you saying? You're drunk.

[00:53:15]Drink this to sober up.

[00:53:32]Why does the sober up soup feel colder the more I drink?

[00:53:37]You're drinking knockout drops. No wonder you're dizzy.

[00:53:58]Where is it?

[00:54:12]This mastermind's plan is so cliche.

[00:54:15]pain.

[00:54:37]This fourth prince must have countless lives on his conscience.

[00:54:55]Stick to the plan. Once Pean arrives with his troops and catches them red-handed, my mission will be accomplished.

[00:55:20]What are you saying?

[00:55:22]>> Wait, that woman just now was clearly Jin Wan.

[00:55:27]Guards, where's that witch? Bring her >> stop.

[00:55:36]>> Forget her.

[00:55:37]Let go.

[00:55:40]>> You look familiar. What did you see in my room?

[00:55:44]Still defending the Jong traitors.

[00:55:48]So, it's you, Jang Wan.

[00:55:52]Fourth brother. The one you're looking for is me. Well, well, isn't this my long lost elder brother? The king wants you arrested. How dare you show your face. Take this criminal now, >> fool. Why come now?

[00:56:21]Why is Prince Guan Nan here ahead of schedule? According to the plan, I was supposed to locate the stolen funds, send the signal, and then he would mobilize troops to raid the place.

[00:56:31]Before I could act, his highness drew fire to protect us.

[00:56:36]>> I couldn't hold him.

[00:56:38]>> With his highness captured, the Zen my armies immobilized. And no proof against the fourth prince he's doomed.

[00:56:46]>> What a hopeless romantic he is, risking everything just to save me.

[00:56:51]>> His highness said, "We must never let you be discovered. He'd rather take the fall himself."

[00:56:57]>> Panlang, you never woke. Still blamed.

[00:57:01]Your spirit gone. Can't we change fate?

[00:57:11]>> No, I am the variable here.

[00:57:18]>> The crown prince embezzled relief funds and fled now captured. Punish him, your majesty.

[00:57:29]Ungrateful wretch.

[00:57:32]All my elaborate framing wasn't wasted on you.

[00:57:37]No, Prince is above the law. Judge him, father. Hold.

[00:57:55]Your Majesty, here is the culprit. The fourth prince stashed all embezzled relief funds in the drunken dream pavilion. The loot's been seized. Punish him.

[00:58:20]Your majesty, the prince must face justice.

[00:58:26]>> Fourth prince, after all my trust, confine him, revoke his title, interrogate him thoroughly.

[00:58:37]Father, I'm innocent.

[00:58:44]Yin Leyang, you and your future princess consort have rendered outstanding service in setting things right. By imperial decree, you are hereby crowned crown prince from this day forth. All hell is highness the crown prince.

[00:58:59]>> This twist has changed the night. With the crown prince being appointed early, the male lead won't have to RELY ON REBELLION AS HIS FOUNDATION. Does this mean I won't repeat the same mistakes?

[00:59:21]No matter who seizes the throne, the crown prince's position will be mine alone. John Wenine, just you wait. It's time you made way for me.

[00:59:45]Wan, our wedding day is drawing near. I want you to have all of these >> farm deeds.

[01:00:01]shop listings.

[01:00:06]>> Vault keys.

[01:00:12]>> These were rewards for the prince investature and all I own.

[01:00:19]>> Well, now that you've given them to me, they're all my premarital assets.

[01:00:26]No takebacks.

[01:00:33]I'm giving you these to show that will never part. Not till the day I die.

[01:00:40]>> Aonang, keep your word.

[01:00:45]>> Do it.

[01:00:47]>> The plots change. A rich crown princess life suits me.

[01:01:05]Winging waning waning.

[01:01:13]It's nothing. The shoe wedding is coming soon.

[01:01:19]I'm feeling quite anxious right now.

[01:01:25]Just wedding nerves. The plots changed.

[01:01:29]No brother-in-law scandal.

[01:01:32]>> Don't fear.

[01:01:34]I'm here. You'll be my only princess.

[01:01:41]>> This tragic tale turns sweet. My hubby's loaded and gorgeous. Who'd want to go back to modern dudgery? I'm living the cushy ancient life forever.

[01:02:06]Sky may pass joys float by.

[01:02:20]Here I am.

[01:02:48]We found the antidote for Lover's Valley. Jung Waning, if the crown prince learns you're the one who poisoned him, your wedding day will be your last.

[01:03:00]The position of crown princess belongs to me alone.

[01:03:10]Your Highness, I'm your brother-in-law now. Know your place.

[01:03:18]>> Your Highness, I've waited years. You cherished me. I'm your bride tonight.

[01:03:27]>> Nothing happened between us. I never asked you to wait or promised you anything. I only favored you because my mother praised you often. That's all. It was just my mother's dying wish. But now I love Wana. She's all I need.

[01:03:47]>> You're missing Jang Guan, your highness.

[01:03:50]Let me tell you the truth.

[01:03:53]>> It's my wedding night. Save your breath.

[01:03:58]Don't you want to know why you suddenly fell so deeply for my sister? Your highness?

[01:04:04]Your highness? Why would you propose after one garden meeting?

[01:04:11]>> Goddess, I want you to be my queen.

[01:04:17]>> Your highness, you're under a love charm. They hexed you. Raised in that lawless backwater. No wonder they'd use dark magic on you.

[01:04:32]>> Rubbish.

[01:04:35]>> Here's the antidote from my sister's room. Have a doctor check it. Your love for him is just dark magic.

[01:05:04]Huh? Why isn't he here yet? No, I need to go look for him.

[01:05:17]Your Highness, this is the lover's goo charred black. You've suffered long.

[01:05:24]>> Your Highness, the sister has always been vain. Deceiving your true heart like this is unforgivable.

[01:05:34]>> If it's truly the love bug, does that mean none of this was real?

[01:05:45]This is the antidote, your highness.

[01:05:47]Take it now. The longer the bug stays, the worse it gets.

[01:05:53]Your highness. Take the antidote now.

[01:05:57]Let your heart find its true place.

[01:06:09]first.

[01:06:10]>> Even if he poisoned me, I'll confront him myself.

[01:06:32]Sir, >> wrong.

[01:06:38]On our wedding night, I caught my husband tearing my sister apart.

[01:06:48]Guess I'm making my own iconic moment now.

[01:06:56]Lean, don't be fooled by Jin Wang Yi's tricks. Your feelings aren't real, just the city's doing.

[01:07:02]>> Actually, that's a bit too wordy.

[01:07:07]>> Lotus.

[01:07:12]Fair enough. Train for plots yet only good at getting fat. Never miss out.

[01:07:25]Teachers, what's my stuff?

[01:07:29]>> Tinlang, I regret. Be fair.

[01:07:34]>> A fleeting thought crowns me king in your embrace. A lifetime alone amidst fleeting glory. Let's toast to this mortal splendor together.

[01:07:44]>> Wedding night.

[01:07:45]>> You should treat me fairly, Januine. I don't give a damn about a scoundrel like you. To avoid future contact, let's divide our assets now. These are my premarital properties. I'm taking them all.

[01:08:02]You want to split assets with me, Jang Waning. Was it all just for wealth and status from the very beginning? You used me for my power, playing every dirty trick. You It was all your delusion. You kept provoking me. You cheating bastard.

[01:08:29]I never wanted anything to do with you.

[01:08:32]Let me make this clear. You were the one who climbed into my bed from the very beginning.

[01:08:46]So this is how you see me. Is that it?

[01:08:59]Fine. Yes. Absolutely right. I only wanted your crown prince title. I just wanted your riches. I seduced you all along. happy now.

[01:09:15]>> So, your highness, may I take my leave now?

[01:09:25]Come here. You never loved me, did you?

[01:09:29]Say it.

[01:09:31]>> So, what if I never loved you in the first place? What's it to you anyway?

[01:09:40]You >> let me make this clear. I never loved you. Not even for a moment. Your pathetic acting as Jle was transparent to me all along. I only played along with your act to amuse myself.

[01:10:01]>> You what now?

[01:10:05]Let me show you what true torment of body and soul really means.

[01:10:21]Arts you.

[01:10:26]I can't even bear to look at you now.

[01:10:29]You disgust me. From this very moment, we're severed for good. No more ties between us ever again.

[01:10:41]>> Dare to flee now.

[01:10:45]>> Release.

[01:10:49]>> Let go. I never should have trusted you.

[01:10:52]>> Listen well. As my crown princess now, you'll pay the price for your actions and endure every torment they bring.

[01:11:15]Jang Yuro. I pick her.

[01:11:30]You hate me.

[01:11:33]>> Yes, a cheating dog will always return to its vomit. I regret ever trusting you.

[01:11:40]>> You should have seen this coming when you planted that love charm in me.

[01:11:45]>> What in the world is this gooorm magic?

[01:11:49]>> Stop pretending.

[01:11:51]If it weren't for the love spell you cast on me, my heart wouldn't be out of control, making me fall for you.

[01:11:58]So, you're telling me your love for me was just the gooones doing? All those sweet words and tender moments, were they nothing but a charade?

[01:12:08]>> Didn't this exactly what you wanted?

[01:12:16]>> Just my delusion.

[01:12:20]The story still marches toward its tragic ending. How could I have believed the words of a male lead from a tragedy novel?

[01:12:32]>> Swallow.

[01:12:33]>> I regret this. Let me go.

[01:12:38]>> After all this, you still think you can leave? Just sit tight and wait for your death.

[01:12:47]Guards, watch the princess.

[01:12:55]So, you're saying this lavish feast is my final farewell, miss? What nonsense?

[01:13:02]>> His highness made this tonic soup specially for you. Freshly prepared last night.

[01:13:11]Drink it now, princess. Is this his torture? Poisoned? No. He may not love me, but he mustn't die. Where's the prince? You must go to court with him today. Ridiculous. I can't escape this curse.

[01:13:33]Your highness. The crown prince has ordered me to guard you closely for your safety.

[01:13:41]What the hell? This is straight up illegal imprisonment.

[01:13:52]Euro, tell me this. Why does my heart still race when I see him?

[01:13:57]>> How is this possible? Could his highness truly have fallen for Xia Wani?

[01:14:03]What ails your highness?

[01:14:06]>> Just like before, the moment I see her, my body moves beyond my control.

[01:14:12]My gaze keeps following her around and my heart won't stop racing for a second.

[01:14:32]Shai's heart blood is needed. Cure this >> heart blood.

[01:14:38]I understand.

[01:14:57]up crown prince.

[01:15:06]Such wed bliss. While my wretched son remains locked up, though confined for repentance, he tried escaping.

[01:15:15]Your majesty, on the crown prince wedding day, shouldn't the fourth prince join the joy? Lift his confinement.

[01:15:27]Your words make sense, my love. The boy must have realized his mistakes by now.

[01:15:33]Let the decree be issued to lift the fourth prince house arrest.

[01:15:39]Surely the crown prince wouldn't have any objections to this.

[01:15:44]father. As his elder brother, I cannot bear to see my fourth brother suffer.

[01:15:50]>> The emperor's favoritism is outrageous.

[01:15:53]The protagonist was framed for exile while the fourth prince got mere house arrest for proven embezzlement.

[01:16:01]>> Very well. You two may withdraw now.

[01:16:08]Congratulations, your highness. The fourth prince returns, though just from house arrest.

[01:16:21]But P Yan Lean<unk>s rising power is unbearable.

[01:16:26]>> Yuru, >> do you have a plan? Your highness, the crown prince, has firmly established his position now.

[01:16:35]>> What stability?

[01:16:37]just for his northern army control.

[01:16:40]>> The emperor yielded >> was forced to crown him.

[01:16:44]>> His majesty has long been wary of him.

[01:16:48]Otherwise, why do you think he kept surviving assassination attempts while every investigation was mysteriously dropped?

[01:16:59]Of course, it was all by his majesty's command. What? Haha.

[01:17:05]What good is being the crown prince when the king himself fears you? That only leads to certain death. Mark my words in this deadly game of thrones. Only my son shall claim the final victory.

[01:17:20]>> Yuru, >> now you know what to do, don't you?

[01:17:30]Would your highness not invite yourself into the chamber?

[01:17:40]>> Delight.

[01:17:50]>> Your highness, this alloy wine from last night. We should drink it now to avoid ill fortune.

[01:17:59]You refused last night. Now you demand it. I won't drink.

[01:18:07]What trick are you playing?

[01:18:11]Haven't I accepted my fate? A wife must follow her husband, be he a or a dog.

[01:18:24]Your highness, please.

[01:18:32]Prince Chen, do you know the consequences of deceiving your lord?

[01:18:36]>> Your highness, I don't understand.

[01:18:41]>> Have your heart and liver ripped out for stray dogs to feast on.

[01:18:45]>> Your highness, let's not speak of such things on this joyous occasion.

[01:18:54]Your majesty, drink.

[01:19:13]>> Oh my. Could it be that your highness suspects me of poisoning the wine?

[01:19:19]>> What's the matter? Don't you dare drink the wine you poured yourself. Or is there truly something sinister in this cup?

[01:19:28]>> Never.

[01:19:33]>> Your highness may not know, but this brocaded wine has another way to drink it.

[01:19:39]>> Another way to drink it. Do tell.

[01:19:43]>> Never betray this devotion.

[01:19:48]Dancing with me through nature's gentle breeze. Whispering with you till words find no release. Through every season, our love grows evergreen. Train.

[01:20:39]No escape means death.

[01:20:44]>> Your majesty. Your majesty.

[01:20:48]>> Forget me. Get the princess.

[01:20:51]I >> sire >> I'm fine. When I was unconscious just now, I heard his voice. He didn't escape through the window. The nearest dock to the eastern palace is where he could have boarded a stone shipment heading south to Jung Su and Jan.

[01:21:20]Your majesty, stay sharp and take care.

[01:21:23]>> What? I'm being slandered and must respond. Did the princess hear?

[01:21:31]>> My lege. My lege.

[01:21:35]>> G up.

[01:21:36]>> Your majesty, stop.

[01:21:39]>> Giddy up. Whoa, >> bro. What's up, >> silver?

[01:21:58]>> Prince Chen, >> turn back fast. Double pay.

[01:22:04]>> Prince Jung, if you flee.

[01:22:08]A rugged road ahead with winds howling through the strings beneath the waxing and waning moon.

[01:22:14]>> Bright, clear water, >> turning smoke into firefly light by the window, only to cast it eastward. Can't resist love.

[01:22:31]My burning rayment shines so bright.

[01:22:34]This mortal world may claim my splenders, but a fleeting light. Yet when I turn to glance behind that instance blazing might courses through my veins with fire igniting day and night.

[01:22:51]Your carriage voucher has expired.

[01:22:53]Here's your compensation to get a new one.

[01:23:08]Flee.

[01:23:14]>> That's enough.

[01:23:16]>> Forget it.

[01:23:19]Crown Princess running away. Why provoke me at all costs? Don't lie. You charmed me.

[01:23:33]Stop playing dumb. I'm asking you if you didn't plant those venomous worms on me, then who did? Why shield me then? Who made me love you but you?

[01:23:45]>> What in the world?

[01:23:50]>> So all your actions were just an act for me, weren't they? You were pretending this whole time, right?

[01:23:58]Right.

[01:24:01]You're deluding yourself.

[01:24:04]Father, mother, I never cared for you.

[01:24:07]You were the ones who kept forcing your way in.

[01:24:11]I was wrong to trust you.

[01:24:16]I should have put an end to you when we were in that ruined temple.

[01:24:23]>> I'm dumb.

[01:24:29]So what you really want is to kill me?

[01:24:34]>> Me? Yeah. Forcing me to stay with you now will only make me repeat >> again and again.

[01:24:41]>> Want you dead. Forcing me to stay.

[01:24:47]Let me go.

[01:24:49]>> I warn you. Don't even dream of it. Lie there one more day and you'll never escape my grasp. Fine, my life. All right, let's see who wins you. Taking my life or me keeping you by my side.

[01:25:04]Neither living nor dying brings release.

[01:25:11]Always sparing you, bastard.

[01:25:17]Yeah.

[01:25:22]>> Still moving. Move all you want.

[01:25:25]>> As before, >> Jiang keeps failing yet you always forgive. Why? Why has your heart in this vast world long been taken by Jawaning?

[01:25:46]Don't.

[01:25:49]Don't.

[01:25:58]>> Why? Grandpa, I loved you yet you'd be man.

[01:26:29]Sir, >> keep the crown princess confined to the eastern palace if she escapes again tonight.

[01:26:37]>> Understood.

[01:26:41]>> Your highness, why are you delaying taking the heart's blood? This will harm you. It's completely unnecessary.

[01:26:49]>> I've planned it.

[01:26:52]>> Thank goodness. I've been torn watching your highness poisoned and my sister cursed. Now I'm relieved.

[01:27:02]>> No more on this. Don't return.

[01:27:06]>> Your highness with elder sister confined. I'll stay to keep her company.

[01:27:15]>> All right.

[01:27:19]Your highness, you love her so. Since I can't win your heart, blame me not.

[01:27:25]Obeying the concert's command, I, Jung Yuru, must stay undefeated.

[01:27:40]Had the consort not told me, I'd never guess his highness gave you the army tally.

[01:27:54]Your sister, I hate lying to you. His highness despises you. Why keep you alive? Why spare your life? only to drain your heart's blood for the bone binding ritual.

[01:28:19]>> When his heart bends, >> I'll make sure to bury you.

[01:28:23]>> As fate would have it, this day was bound to come.

[01:28:33]Your Highness, our elite troops were secretly moved by the fourth prince's men with the military tally.

[01:28:40]>> The silver tally proves you're with the fourth prince. How dare you, >> your highness? The garrison seal is now in enemy hands, a threat to you.

[01:28:51]>> Go now.

[01:29:00]Tell me why you incited the fourth prince to mobilize troops. If truly loyal, why undermine the Eastern Palace's foundation?

[01:29:09]>> I'm locked in here. How could I conspire?

[01:29:14]>> If I truly loved you, why betray me?

[01:29:17]You're the only one here. Who else could it be?

[01:29:25]>> That was yours. I never touched it.

[01:29:36]How fourth prince passgards >> the garrison chief's character is way off now.

[01:29:46]T down. Thank me. Call him. Thanks >> enough.

[01:29:51]Quit your lies.

[01:29:53]I only dare because because I love you.

[01:29:57]I'm sick of this obsession with you alone now. I'd give anything to purge your very essence from my veins.

[01:30:07]I'll carve my heart clean of you.

[01:30:10]>> D now out. Get up.

[01:30:30]Archers now medic.

[01:30:38]>> The crown princess is pregnant. This escape enraged her.

[01:30:41]>> Labor pains.

[01:30:42]>> If we're any later, my child, my baby.

[01:30:57]My child, are we truly bound to follow the original storyline's path?

[01:31:03]>> There's no way I'm keeping this child.

[01:31:09]Just get some abortion medication to terminate it later. Yes.

[01:31:30]Princess, the prince order.

[01:31:41]There's a child here.

[01:31:48]You schemer never deserve my heir.

[01:31:56]This child was never meant to be kept alive.

[01:32:02]>> It's better gone now.

[01:32:09]>> Dad's calm.

[01:32:10]>> Is he sorry now?

[01:32:13]the medicine. He should have taken it by now.

[01:32:21]Very well, Jung Wan Yen. You've really outdone yourself this time.

[01:32:28]I'm done for.

[01:32:53]I won't remove the glue worms anymore. I promise to bear your child.

[01:33:01]Can we just live out our lives like this?

[01:33:05]But I'm too afraid to move a muscle.

[01:33:13]Your Majesty, find the best midwife to carefully attend to the crown prince.

[01:33:18]Also, purchase all available books on childbirth and pregnancy. Yes.

[01:33:28]Stop. His highness forbids the crown princess from seeing outsiders. We're to serve her well. Her highness insists she'll only eat the freshest chicken, freshly slaughtered, and wear the softest silk robes from the western regions. Lord Guan, check for yourself if you doubt.

[01:34:01]My dear little sparrow, if you please.

[01:34:07]Sparrow, cut this fabric for a robe.

[01:34:09]Make the waist loose. I'll slaughter a chicken myself for the feast. My lady, what exactly are you trying to achieve?

[01:34:19]Simply preparing for the next act of our play. As long as we're still breathing, we'll fight to survive.

[01:34:26]Your Highness, the Consort, and fourth prince plot in the palace. If she involves the northern army, how will you prove your innocence?

[01:34:36]Like the mantis hunting sicatas, we're being watched. I've informed his majesty and traded military power for his aid.

[01:34:44]The Imperial guards will trap them.

[01:34:48]The noble consort and fourth prince won't last. Protect the crown princess.

[01:34:54]The crown princess is Success or failure hinges on this moment. Your highness, are you truly going through with the plan?

[01:35:14]H Does pregnancy really change a woman's figure this much?

[01:35:27]None of your business.

[01:36:02]thoughts. Princess, it's fine. It should be fine, right?

[01:36:10]Even if the male lead fails in the original story, he makes a comeback in the end. But this is my only chance to escape the plot. Here's my signate ring just in case tonight goes wrong.

[01:36:35]It controls my shadow guard and all I own. If danger comes, Genanon can deploy them to protect you forever. The shadow guard. This is the very force that turns the tide for him later. How could he just give away something so vital? I can't take this.

[01:36:57]Save your breath. Only I know how to untie this knot.

[01:37:05]The banquet is about to begin. Crown princess, this way, please.

[01:37:42]Your Majesty, noble consort, the Ming Chong Banquet is upon us at last.

[01:37:56]Don't you worry. I'm right here with you.

[01:38:08]What in the world is going on? It's happening right now. Completely out of control.

[01:38:22]Child.

[01:38:29]My lord. My lord. My child. My lord. You must be all right. I beg you. Save my lord. Yun Jun, come out now. Arrest the traitors.

[01:38:49]Father, these are the northern garrison troops, my brother's soldiers. Today, today, he intends to seize the throne by force. I can bear witness to this. The crown prince has long harbored treasonous ambitions. He clearly knew the military seals of the northern garrison were taken by the Imperial Consort. With irrefutable evidence, Crown Prince P Yan Leang is guilty of plotting to usurp the throne. I bear witness to this. What are you doing?

[01:39:18]Moon the moon.

[01:39:23]So it was all your majesty's scheme from the very beginning. The repeated arrests, those assassination attempts, all were your majesty's designs to have me killed. I have no need for a child from the Gao Jin Jung line. Take him away. Hexecute him at the Meridian Gate at dawn tomorrow as a warning to all.

[01:39:44]Father, I'll die. Just spare Wan. Sire, it's late traitor Yinhai. Our child's gone. Bury Ro. Father.

[01:39:55]Father, stop this.

[01:39:57]Father, please no. Ah, father.

[01:40:09]Myth. My miss, are you okay?

[01:40:28]It's good. I prepared in advance. Just some minor cuts. They'll heal soon.

[01:40:37]Ah.

[01:40:40]Ah. These should be enough. Your highness. The garments you requested have been prepared exactly to your specifications.

[01:40:51]H. Sparrow, fetch me that bottle of hair oil from the bundle. It's lubricating effect should help Lion get it off.

[01:41:08]Come.

[01:41:13]No matter the not lucky, my head's tiny.

[01:41:28]So, Crown Princess.

[01:42:11]Black Moon, you'll get your wish.

[01:42:14]Sparrow, let's retrieve the gold and silver hidden in that wretched ship.

[01:42:19]From now on, the three of us will roam free under open skies and boundless seas.

[01:42:27]I miss fire.

[01:42:44]Well, one, this muzzle was placed by my own hand.

[01:42:56]How could you remove it? Your highness, your subordinate, dared to search the mass graves. Every spot was bloodstained. Only this necklace remained.

[01:43:08]The crown princess must have fallen prey to wild beasts, her head torn from her body.

[01:43:14]Behold, the crown princess approaches now.

[01:43:28]For his distinguished service, the fourth prince has ascended as crown prince, and I am now his rightful consort.

[01:43:36]Look at you now playing the virtuous crown prince. How pathetic. Get out.

[01:43:43]only for the sake of his highness shielding me from that blade. I'll let you die with clarity. Know why I lost control that day? Why I used fish flesh to block the knife? Just like that night with Wan, another moment of lost control. Did you truly think that spring banquet's passionate night was mere chance? It was a trap laid by me, the imperial consort, and the fourth prince.

[01:44:11]to ruin your reputation, strip you of military power. Yet that damn sister of mine turned disaster into fortune and ruined everything.

[01:44:22]And that love potion in Lover's Valley, I personally fed it to you.

[01:44:28]I will be the crown princess.

[01:44:31]I don't care who becomes the crown prince. You and the fourth prince are both just pawns in my game.

[01:44:39]That love charm was meant to make you adore me completely. Yet by cruel twist of fate, it ended up on Jungwani. Even after the spell was broken, your heart still refuses to harbor hatred for me.

[01:44:49]How utterly maddening.

[01:44:53]The ancient poison. It's already been cured.

[01:45:00]Haha.

[01:45:03]Indeed, you drank every last drop of that antidote. There was never any antidote to turn your hearts against each other. All my scheming wasn't in vain after all. Haha.

[01:45:17]Jang Yu Yao. I trusted your lies. I'll kill you. Kill me? Forgot your vow to the queen? Have you completely forgotten your promise to marry me? Very well, then. Since you're absolutely determined to be with him, I'll have no choice but to support whoever can secure me the position of crown princess.

[01:45:43]It's the military seal. I stole it from that room. Thanks to me, the fourth prince and the imperial consort could mobilize the northern garrison army.

[01:45:54]Haha. Shall you row?

[01:46:01]Your royal highness, savor every last second of your final hour.

[01:46:15]South Pass, South Pass.

[01:46:20]Sire, summon all my royal guards to protect me. Snowlands.

[01:46:36]Miss, when I went to buy groceries today, I heard people saying we mustn't hear any more news about his highness.

[01:46:43]Sparrow, we're finally settled. Don't mention him. Okay.

[01:46:48]As you wish, miss. Might trigger the plot.

[01:46:53]All right, Sparrow. What's for dinner?

[01:46:56]Hey, Yolang. By the plot, you should be recovering in the river sands now.

[01:47:07]Hear the news. The prince lives. Rode back with a dark army. They're at the city gates now. Things will change. The plot remains, but I am free now. After faking death, I bore this unscripted child. That fourth story never returned.

[01:47:30]Oh, mama. En's tummy is growling. All right, darling. Mama will take you to a nice restaurant for supper.

[01:47:40]Autumn Blade blesses you, father. Good news, Nars.

[01:47:46]Your highness, all are ready. Just wait for the signal tonight. Our men in the guard will open the gates.

[01:47:56]Father, Imperial Consort Jung Yurro and you, fourth prince, the blood debts you owe to Chen Jang Wean and the empress mother must be repaid.

[01:48:15]I'll avenge you.

[01:48:24]Oh, my prince. My dear prince down, Ganon. I just saw Jung Wyan.

[01:48:42]That child must be ours.

[01:48:45]Uncle, really?

[01:48:47]Father died years ago. Your highness, take your medicine now. Nearer the capital, your crown prince's visions worsen. You must take it.

[01:49:01]Yes, perhaps it was just an illusion. 5 years. Maybe Jang Win has been dead all along. It's time I let go.

[01:49:21]Be careful, child. Don't go out tonight.

[01:49:31]An ann.

[01:49:48]Yes, sweetheart. It's me here with your little sparrow. Stingy ant.

[01:49:54]Let's go.

[01:50:01]Crown Princess, hurry. This remote town's safe. Yin Leangs troops have reached the palace. Imperial physician.

[01:50:10]That idiot wants me to stay. I'm no fool. Master, quick, report to the magistrate. We flee south at dawn now.

[01:50:22]Hello. Is anybody home? Who's there?

[01:50:27]Anyone here? Who's that?

[01:50:36]Me.

[01:50:41]John Winning. You vile woman. You blew everyone to bits. What the hell are you doing? How dare you hurt our young mistress. Mother, don't you dare harm our crown princess. 5 years.

[01:50:56]who lives. The prince saved him. How dare you?

[01:51:03]5 years. Yan Leon raged for you. Rebel to avenge you. Master Sue lives.

[01:51:10]How absurd.

[01:51:19]Did you bring these outsiders here? Huh?

[01:51:22]Even if I die, you're coming down with me, Lord Sawan.

[01:51:28]Haha.

[01:51:30]Open the door and catch me if you can.

[01:51:33]Forget revenge. Flee with Shaen.

[01:51:37]Go now. Grab her. She's proof of prefect crimes.

[01:51:45]Go. Go.

[01:51:52]Seriously, what a cliche scene. The author's skills are just so so. Ah, this forced plot progression feels so nostalgic.

[01:52:03]Pull back right now. A yin, retreat at once.

[01:52:10]I withdrew the northern army as ordered.

[01:52:13]Why harm my family? Then you must choose just one to survive your lawfully weded wife by your side or the childhood sweetheart you grew up with. My dear brother king, which life will you spare?

[01:52:27]Although the female lead still has plot armor, author, have you ever considered jumping from this height? Is the heroine's halo real?

[01:52:42]Save the realm. You vowed to protect me.

[01:52:47]Spare Junger.

[01:52:54]So it turns out that Jung Yurro is your real weakness.

[01:53:07]Do it.

[01:53:12]I've betrayed you so many times, even married you. How could I possibly be his weakness? I've lost. Go to hell.

[01:53:29]Who would write songs for your graceful zither melodies?

[01:53:45]My child, my child, your highness, you know this.

[01:54:02]Mommy, this mean uncle keeps saying he's my dad.

[01:54:06]He's going to cry if I don't call him daddy. Look, he's tearing up again.

[01:54:30]Not for kids. Come on, let's go get you some candy.

[01:54:41]5 years and now you're crushing my wound. Wanie, move.

[01:54:49]If I'm the emperor now, you'd naturally be my empress.

[01:54:59]You'll always be mine. If the troops rebel, let them overthrow me. I won't resist.

[01:55:09]Armies can be rebuilt, but not queens.

[01:55:12]Crown one. And next comes the cold palace heart ripped out, then burned. I know this plot. The plot. Now I finally understand why you had to leave my side.

[01:55:24]Is it because of this plot? Is it because of some force in this world?

[01:55:29]Some mysterious force. What? Because I felt an invisible force trying to pull me back to you like some intangible shackles. But I broke free. All I want in this life is for you to be safe and sound, to stay by my side forever.

[01:55:48]No one can stand in the way of my choice.

[01:55:53]You've truly come to your senses. My only wish is to keep you safe and sound.

[01:56:06]All right.

[01:56:15]What about Jang Yurong? According to the plot, she's supposed to be the empress.

[01:56:34]Haha.

[01:56:35]So you've finally come to mock my downfall. Chan Wan. Haha.

[01:56:43]The imperial consort got torn apart by rabid strays. The fourth prince severed head is rotting on the city gates. And that scenile old emperor he turned his own flesh and blood into a walking corpse. Haha.

[01:56:58]Tell me then, what gruesome fate have you prepared for me?

[01:57:08]How lamentable. Who would have thought the fabled white moonlight was actually the ruthless mastermind behind this literary annihilation?

[01:57:20]This is how you'll die.

[01:57:25]Take this poison and die with dignity.

[01:57:28]Want to leave?

[01:57:32]Let's die together. I'll still be crown princess. Haha.

[01:57:39][laughter] Are you kidding me? I haven't even become the empress yet. How can we follow the script like this? Don't you dare run. Don't you dare.

[01:57:52]You all right?

[01:57:59]Guards, drag Jang Yu out. Rip her heart for the dogs. Now move.

[01:58:29]So in the end the whole story line somehow managed to conclude itself.

[01:58:39]Very well then. If I must reluctantly accept this emperor's position, so be it. Splendid. From this moment, you shall reign as my empress.

[01:58:51]Guess I win this round. Author, being a slacker queen isn't half bad after all.

[01:59:05]This was the foresight I gifted you back then.

[01:59:11]Happy birthday, your royal highness. May all your dreams be fulfilled with heartfelt joy and everlasting love.

[01:59:30]Don't you dare strike me with lightning now. I've miraculously traveled back through time. That whole ordeal was merely an illusion from my dreams.
