Your Sensibility My Destiny
Episode 7
Gold, silver, jewellery, property deeds.
I have all that.
If I find the love of my life one day,
I'll give all of these to her
so that she can take care of them for me.
If you don't mind,
could you help me take care of them forever?
Eat.
This is breakfast?
That's all?
There's more here. Look.
Yes, there's more in here too.
Here.
Eat.
Simple food will soften your ambition.
I hope you can let go of the luxury you once had
and become a person whose heart
reaches the heavens with me.
Is there more?
Yes, in the kitchen.
I'll go get some more.
Just get the servants to get it.
I've asked the servants to leave for the day.
Just let me do it.
Master, do you think he's really that poor?
He's just having plain soup and water all the time.
Wan'er, he's Prince Jing.
This is too frugal.
Listen,
He's just keeping it away from us
because he's afraid we're just here for his money.
But I think
he really doesn't have much money.
Silly girl, you're still young.
Listen to me.
We'll find out once we get our hands
on his financials.
Right?
Relax both hands and lay them on the strings.
Left middle finger on the third string, eighth note.
Eighth.
Hook your right middle finger up and pluck the third and fourth notes.
Hook... Hook up?
Relax your fingers.
Ling...
Let me teach you from now on.
O... Okay.
Sir, the carriage is ready.
Where are you going?
To the palace.
I've received an imperial decree.
What will you be doing in the palace?
To compile the almanac.
How long will you be there?
I'll be back in about half a month.
That's really long.
Must you go?
I can't go against an imperial order. I have to go.
Wait for me. I'll be back soon.
He's coming.
You're not fit to be my apprentice.
Look at Chi.
She's having the time of her life.
I've been suffering for my whole life,
when are you going to
give me a chance at a life like that?
I don't want you as my master either.
Chi is in charge of
all the books for Wu Mo Manor.
But look at you,
you have no house, you have no land.
You have nothing.
-My guests, -I...
I'm going to the palace by imperial decree.
It might take a while.
Please take care of my home.
I know you're good with bookkeeping,
right?
And you're willing to do that,
but it's been tough
bringing up the three of you.
I don't even have money for a coffin left.
Why would I have books for you to keep?
You brought us up?
As far as I remember,
it's Du Ruo who has been helping us.
If not, Chi and I would have died of hunger.
I let you die of hunger?
Did I let you die of hunger?
What's wrong with that?
Did I let you die of hunger?
What a bunch of nonsense.
Was I wrong?
What are you talking about?
Please calm down.
Miss Qiu Wan is great at bookkeeping
and is interested in this subject.
I was planning to pass
my books to her when I'm in the palace.
We wouldn't want that.
It's alright.
Financial Records
Miss Qiu Wan
can help lighten my burden.
I was worried about not having time if it's just up to me.
That's true.
Yes, that's true.
Where are the rest of the books?
What do you mean "the rest?"
There's only one of them in Prince Jing's manor.
But...
Financial Records
Your Highness,
why are there only deficits in your books?
You even took a loan from the bank.
You get so much allowance every month,
where did all the money go?
Money isn't that important.
I would usually donate my allowance
or loan them to others around me.
I'm not really sure
why it's in deficit.
If you loaned the money to others,
there should be credit notes, right?
Yes.
If I have to keep credit notes it means I don't trust them.
I didn't keep any.
You're not Prince Jing.
You're a money distributor.
Even angels and demons would cry
seeing a prince that's as poor as you are.
Library
The almanac is only compiled once a year.
Not only does it record
the major and minor events of Nanlu,
this year we'll include the financial status
and foreign trade too.
Please do your best to compile the almanac.
We will do our best in compilation,
and not disappoint Your Majesty.
Ding Lan has always avoided everyone,
but this time you're so aggressive.
That's so unusual.
Brother, Ding Lan came because of the imperial decree.
No one would dare to reject it.
Time is of the essence.
We should start as soon as possible.
Miss Lin,
you look like there's a lot on your mind.
Ling Hua,
would something happen to Mo Qing Chen?
Would he be in any danger?
Would someone put him to the test again?
Don't worry, Miss Lin.
He's managed situations
that are even more dangerous than this.
It'll be fine.
My eyelid keeps twitching.
Would there be any accidents?
No, not at all.
Miss Lin, don't be anxious.
Why don't I stick a piece of paper
on your eyelid?
There's no need for that.
I'll leave the tea here then.
Would something happen to him?
Am I being paranoid?
Ding Lan,
this is the premium wolf's hair brush
that I personally picked for you.
Give it a go.
Ji Ding Lan,
you didn't feel it?
You really are a monster without senses.
Not a monster. He's not a monster.
Execute him. Execute him!
What's this?
Lan'er...
Father, he's a monster!
A monster.
He's a monster.
Execute him.
Ling Hua!
Miss Lin,
Miss Lin, are you alright?
What's wrong, Miss Lin?
Ling Hua, I miss him.
Why are you laughing?
Miss Lin, do you want to visit him in the palace?
It's not like anyone can visit the palace.
Ling Shu and I saw that you were not eating well,
so we came out with a plan?
What's the plan?
As long as I can see Mo Qing Chen,
I'm willing to do anything.
Ding Luan.
Brother.
What is it?
Have you ever longed for someone?
I guess so.
What does longing feel like?
Longing?
It's like you can't concentrate
and you get butterflies in your stomach.
You'd want to go back and see her right now
even if it means going against the decree.
Even if it's just for a moment.
Even if you get scolded by her.
I really wish to see her too.
Are you talking about Miss Lin?
Her Majesty would like to invite the second prince
to meet her at Qi Yun Pavilion.
Greetings, Mother.
Lan'er, this is your cousin Ke Ying.
She came here to spend time with me.
You two have met
five years ago at the hunting grounds.
After our separation at the hunting grounds,
you've been on my mind a lot.
Lan'er, Ke Ying hasn't visited the palace in a long time.
Why don't you help me show her around?
Mother,
we can't delay compiling the almanac.
I have to get back to the library.
What?
You're not obeying me anymore?
Yes.
Who knew
Ling Shu's official badge would be so handy?
Unstoppable with an official badge.
I should tone it down.
Where would the library be?
The Second Prince is such an outstanding person.
That's why Ke Ying is so smitten.
The Second Prince and Princess Ke Ying are a match made in heaven.
Mo Qing Chen?
Princess, we've been everywhere we could.
You must be tired.
I'll excuse myself.
Ding Lan,
are you alright, princess?
Ding Lan...
My leg hurts.
Ding Lan...
You're here.
This is the first time seeing you smile like this.
Who was that woman?
♫ Sad about parting, longing has turned into shame ♫
She's quite pretty.
Doesn't matter who she is. She's nobody.
♫ Scattered fragments randomly put together ♫
Did you miss me?
No.
♫ The loneliness of the moon drifted onto earth ♫
But I missed you so much.
♫ Who is sitting at the window alone? ♫
How much did you miss me?
♫ How do I hold your hand bravely again? ♫
I couldn't concentrate.
I had butterflies in my stomach.
♫ If letting go of the light can cast me into a sub-conscious state ♫
What about you?
I...
I kept having nightmares.
♫ I'll wait here on the spot ♫
What are they about?
I dreamt that your secret was exposed.
♫ In the lonely night, a tear can change a lifetime of glancing back ♫
It won't happen with you around.
♫ There's a storm in my heart but I'm acting calm ♫
Your Highness, it's time to go back.
Your Highness, where are you?
-Your Highness. -Follow me.
Why is he smiling?
He knows how to smile?
Why isn't he here yet?
Let me bring you somewhere.
Where?
You'll find out soon.
♫ Welcoming spring, sending winter away ♫
♫ Sunset is reflected on the paper ♫
♫ At night at the pavilion under the cold moon ♫
I heard that
you would always sit on the roof of the palace
♫ How much does longing weigh? ♫
alone when you were a child to see the moon.
How did you know?
♫ I start missing you whenever I write, the yearning worsens as I sign my name ♫
I heard there was once
♫ I try to conjure up the image at that moment ♫
you almost exposed your secret about having no senses.
♫ As the tear drops, it smudges the ink ♫
Your mother locked you up for a month.
♫ Even time is tainted by the ink ♫
But you actually sneaked onto the roof every day
♫ I ask the white horse where it sent you ♫
when everyone was asleep
♫ But I receive no answer ♫
and sat there alone till dawn.
It looks like you've looked into my past.
♫ Draw repeatedly until the ink seeps through the paper ♫
You must be very lonely then.
♫ It is sealed together with the dust on it ♫
♫ The same brush has drawn countless past ♫
You won't feel lonely
once you get used to it.
♫ Draw your face ♫
♫ Every piece of white paper contains a story ♫
When do you feel lonely then?
♫ Who else remember that ♫
When I'm eating, walking, reading.
♫ The same brush has drawn countless past ♫
As long as you're not around.
♫ Draw your face ♫
♫ Looking back and hastily biding the past goodbye ♫
Honestly, when I woke up and saw that you weren't beside me,
♫ Reminiscing for the rest of my life ♫
I started worrying.
I'm afraid that when I'm not around,
someone would test you.
There's no need to be afraid. I can feel it.
♫ I start missing you whenever I write, the yearning worsens as I sign my name ♫
You didn't fall asleep that night?
♫ I try to conjure up the image at that moment ♫
♫ As the tear drops, it smudges the ink ♫
Why didn't you tell me?
♫ Even time is tainted by the ink ♫
I don't want to disturb you.
♫ I ask the white horse where it sent you ♫
♫ But I receive no answer ♫
Did you know,
when you're not around me,
♫ Draw repeatedly until the ink seeps through the paper ♫
I would be just as restless.
But it's not because I'm afraid that someone would test me.
♫ It is sealed together with the dust on it ♫
Then what are you afraid of?
♫ The same brush has drawn countless past ♫
I'm afraid of longing.
♫ Draw your face ♫
When I think about the time
when you first left Wu Mo Manor,
♫ Every piece of white paper contains a story ♫
I felt so uncomfortable,
♫ Who else remember that ♫
and I felt lonely.
♫ The same brush has drawn countless past ♫
Let's not split up anymore then.
♫ Draw your face ♫
Okay?
♫ Looking back and hastily biding the past goodbye ♫
♫ Reminiscing for the rest of my life ♫
Princess, are we not sending this ginseng soup to the second prince anymore?
We'll go to the queen's residences.
-Yes. -Yes.
Your Majesty, please slow down.
My eyes might have played tricks on me.
Over twenty years of racking my brains,
what have I not seen in this world?
But now I lost my cool because of such a small matter.
Your Majesty,
Ding Lan is probably just playful...
There's no need to cover for him.
He's just a lowly eunuch.
We'll just find a place to execute him.
Your Majesty, Ding Lan must have been seduced
to have made a mistake like this.
Why not let me handle this?
Let you handle this?
Sharing your burden
is what I should be doing anyway.
And I'm confident that I can handle this well.
It's not a big issue,
so it's alright for you to handle it.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Ke Ying,
remember.
If you want to marry into royalty,
you have to act like royalty.
Don't ever be reckless,
but don't be too merciful.
I will remember that.
Your Highness,
Her Majesty has requested your presence. There's an urgent matter.
Okay.
Come with me.
There are some heavy items to move.
It looks like you know who I am.
So you definitely know
why I'm here to see you today.
I think there's a misunderstanding, princess.
Please be straightforward, Your Highness.
Be straightforward?
Fine.
I hope you won't try to cling to the people
that you shouldn't cling to.
Hold on.
Why are we taking the long way?
Your Highness,
I just got into the palace not long ago,
I'm not familiar with the ways yet.
I beg for your forgiveness.
Did Mother put you up to this?
I've been wanting to settle the score with you.
But you came to me instead.
You have a pretty face
but a toxic heart.
You're not a eunuch.
You're the Lin Chi that Her Majesty spoke of.
Do you know that this is a crime against His Majesty?
Let go of me.
Are you alright?
I'm fine.
She recognised me.
Setting your own punishment within the palace.
Are you done with your life?
Get out of here!
Let's go.
It's over now.
Ding Lan.
A lowly commoner entering the palace without orders is a heavy crime.
I
have the palace's best interests at heart, that's all.
A lowly commoner?
If you want to report this, go ahead.
Go home.
I...
Your Highness.
Mother, I have something to say.
If Lin Chi gets into any more danger,
I'll move Wu Mo Manor away from Ming Capital
and never return.
I hope that you will forgive me.
Move away from Ming Capital?
Lin Chi?
So that eunuch was her in disguise.
That's outrageous!
I took her in.
Lin Chi can protect me when she's around.
I can put up with your princely shenanigans.
But Lin Chi
is of humble roots, and she is volatile.
She's going to show her flaws one day.
She saved my life.
And that's why
you're relying too much on her.
You'll let your guards down and expose your secret sooner or later.
Keeping her around is just a temporary solution.
I will let her go one day.
Once she leaves,
you won't let her live.
So I want to keep her around me forever.
Protect her well.
On top of that, I won't marry Ke Ying.
You...
Please rest well, Mother.
The compilation ceremony has ended.
I'll take my leave for the day.
Lan'er!
He's throwing a tantrum
because of a girl with questionable origins.
Send someone to investigate.
Find out if there is a nefarious figure
behind Lin Chi's actions.
And if she's trying to seduce Lan'er.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, what about Princess Ke Ying?
Send her back to the northern county for a while.
His Highness is back.
Mo Qing Chen!
I don't care if longing is bitter or sweet.
I don't want you to leave me anymore.
Sir,
I arranged everything to send Miss Lin into the palace.
Please punish me.
Sir, please don't blame Ling Shu.
I forced him to do it.
Please punish me.
-Sir. -I wanted to go.
I forced them to let me go.
Punish me if you want to.
Get up.
Don't you blame us, sir?
This is where the acting ends.
Act... acting?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Done.
Let's go.
Hurry.
Financial Records
This is so annoying.
I can't calculate.
He's just in the palace for a few days
and you're already so irritable.
Him going to the palace has nothing to do with me.
Of course, of course.
Prince Jing
has left for such a long time.
I'm missing him.
My apprentice, do you miss him?
You're too noisy!
Just pretend I didn't say anything.
Your Highness.
You're back.
I brought gifts for you.
Really?
Thank you, Your Highness.
Tastes great.
Take a bite.
No thanks. I need to finish this calculation.
Thank you, Your Highness.
It tastes great.
Wan'er,
this is what I bought for you.
What's this?
Thank you.
Why did you get this for me?
I saw it on the way back
and thought that you'd look good with it,
so I randomly got it.
It's a random purchase.
You don't need to overthink this.
I'm going out to get some air.
Her Majesty is arranging a marriage for you.
I've seen Princess Xiao Ke Ying.
She's pretty and intelligent. Feels like she's from a noble family.
But
she's just not as good as Miss Lin.
Our Miss Lin is not only pretty,
but has also been through hell and back with His Highness.
Even if there's a wedding,
it should be with Miss Lin.
I shall marry her then.
What do you think?
-Marry her? -Marry her?
Sir,
I was just saying.
I've decided.
That's the only way
I can openly be in the same room with her.
I can protect her from any harm,
and I won't be forced to marry anyone else.
Sir, you need to think well about this.
This is a big decision
and it involves too many things.
Yes, sir.
Miss Lin probably
still doesn't know about such an important issue.
Go get ready.
I'll tell her when the time is right.
Tell me,
what should be the first thing I need to prepare for a wedding?
Chang Ting Restaurant
Sir.
Why are you being so formal today?
What's wrong with Lin Chi?
Please take a seat.
Did Lin Chi get into some sort of trouble?
No.
That's good to know.
There's something I'd like to discuss with you today.
Please go on.
I'd like to propose a marriage.
I'd like your blessings for Lin Chi's hand in marriage.
Did... Did you say...
you want Lin Chi's hand in marriage?
Yes, I wonder if you would agree?
Lin Chi...
This apprentice of mine has had a tough life.
She lost her parents when she was a kid.
I was the one who brought her up
through all the blood, sweat and tears.
Now that she's going to get married,
I can't even give much dowry.
You don't need to worry about the financial part.
How much will you be giving in betrothal gifts?
Ten thousand taels of silver,
three plots of land,
and the whole row of shops in the West Market.
If that's not enough...
Mr Zhuang,
What's wrong now?
That's enough.
Does that mean you've agreed to it?
Yes, agreed.
You're not going to renege on this, are you?
Definitely not.
If you agree,
please drink this cup of marriage proposal wine.
I'm relieved now.
Sir,
Lin Chi has had a tough life.
She's been travelling around with me since she was a child.
There's not much happiness in her life.
Now that she has met someone
who can care for her and love her,
I hope that no matter what the future holds,
you can protect her as well as you can.
Don't worry, sir.
Here's to you.
Can we eat now?
Please do.
Why are you here?
Where did you go?
I went to see someone important.
Someone important?
Who was it?
You'll know later on.
Who was it? You're being so mysterious.
Don't scratch the cabinets.
Hurry.
-Why is it so lively today? -Keep it up.
-Slow down. -Sir, Miss Lin.
You got new cabinets?
The old one was too small.
What about those vases and tables?
The previous ones weren't old.
Why are you spending money for no reason?
Because I'm feeling good.
Feeling good?
Why?
Because you're here.
What's wrong?
Can you say things like this
to me more often?
Let's go.
Chi.
Du Ruo.
Why are you here?
There's news about your sister.
My sister is still alive?
I've searched the prefectural magistracy for a long time
but I couldn't find a case file about her.
I've expanded my search recently.
I even looked into case files of the neighbouring county.
But I didn't find anything.
In the end, I finally
found clues in case files that
are specifically for orphans.
Your sister was adopted by a rich merchant.
She's been living in the northern countryside all this while.
The entire family moved to the south after that.
My sister is in the south?
I've written to my friends in the south.
We can wait for their reply in peace now.
So...
Don't be anxious about seeing her.
Once there's news,
I'll come here and inform you at once.
I've searched for her for years,
and nothing came back.
Sometimes it feels like I'm in a dream.
Until now that you're here,
I suddenly feel that
all of this feels slightly more like reality.
I know.
Don't worry, Chi.
In any case,
there'll be a reply within half a month.
Then we'll decide what to do next.
Okay. Thank you, Du Ruo.
Alright.
I just came to tell you about this today.
There are things to be done at the prefectural magistracy.
I need to go.
Okay. I'll send you out.
Okay.
Why does the manor have so much decoration?
That's true. No one told me about it.
Is there a festival coming up?
Let's go.
