Lost You Forever (2023) s01e07 Episode Script
Episode 7

ADAPTED FROM TONG HUA'S ORIGINAL WORK,
LOST YOU FOREVER
Sorry about that.
Goodbye and take care.
I was in a hurry, so I forgot the gift.
I'll have Sang deliver it later.
Mr. Xuan, you can spare the courtesy.
It's nothing.
I'm annoyed every time I see you.
If it weren't for my brother,
I'd give the order to whip you.
If it weren't for your brother,
I'd also want to slap you.
Mr. Xuan, is there anything else?
Where's Ye Shiqi?
He's always with you, but he's not here.
I asked him
to cook more dishes in the kitchen.
He must be busy now.
All right. I'll take my leave.
Take care.
Back in the spring six years ago,
you were lying in that bush.
It has been over six years.
You left the banquet abruptly just now,
so Xuan is suspicious of you.
I'm sure he will start investigating you.
Actually, you and Nian
are the same type of person.
Looking down from on high
and overlooking all living beings.
When I see Nian behaving like that,
I feel like slapping her.
However, when I see you, I
What do you want?
I want to pull you down to earth.
Don't wipe it.
Come here.
He's not going anywhere.
Go ahead and say it
if you have something to say.
Are you coming over by yourself
or do you want me to come to you?
I
Xiaoliu,
stand back.
We're all friends here.
We're all friends.
You must know there's a momentous event
at the Rejuvenation Hall today,
so you brought a gift, right?
Shiqi.
Get on.
All right.
Xiaoliu.
Don't worry, Shiqi. I'm fine.
You go home. I'll be back soon.
Go home.
I'm coming.
Go home, Shiqi.
Go home.
Chubby!
Chubby, you crazy bird. Stop it.
Chubby!
Are you in a bad mood today?
Don't think I don't know.
You must be upset.
Whenever you're upset,
you would torment me for fun.
That crazy bird nearly got me killed.
Why is your spirit power so low?
I cultivated hard.
Initially, my spirit power wasn't low,
but rather high among my peers.
It's all because of that stupid fox.
In case my spirit power didn't go in vain,
he used medicine to disable me,
which made my spirit power
go into my vessels little by little,
making it easier for him to eat me.
It's said that breaking one's cultivation
feels like getting your marrow extracted.
It seems that
my 40 whips were too light for you.
I'll have to find other torture tools.
Do you think it gets smoother
the more you practice, like singing?
It's precisely because
I suffered so much back then
that I'm really afraid of pain now,
more than most people.
How did you endure
those 30 years in the cage?
In the beginning,
I fought against the fox.
I always provoked him.
Later, I got scared after being tortured,
so I dare not do that anymore.
In the end,
I stayed silent and uncooperative,
even trying to end my own life.
Even someone like you would seek death?
Yes.
However, I never managed to die.
Later on,
I went from wanting to kill myself
to wanting to kill him.
Our mentality is really strange.
You can tell whether you're happy or sad
or in pain or not
by comparing yourself with others.
Do you need me
to delve deeper into my miserable past?
I could exaggerate it a bit.
I'm sure you would think
there would be no other miseries.
You look quite different today.
Did something unpleasant happen?
Did you live by the water
when you were a child?
GOURD LAKE
It's so beautiful.
Life is precious
as long as we can enjoy such views.
Even the rarest scenery
would become dull if seen too much.
It will only be meaningful
if there's someone by my side.
Sceneries are dead.
Only meanings from people
will bring them to life.
Why are you in a bad mood?
The Central Plains are now stable.
The King of Xiyan
will eventually round up Hong Jiang.
The trend of the world is irreversible.
It's not something
any individual can stop.
You're just a demon.
A despised Nine-Headed Demon.
For the arrogant deities in Chenrong,
you're probably
You're probably
less than nothing in their eyes.
Why are you worrying about Chenrong?
What can you gain
from following Hong Jiang?
From your perspective,
what should I do?
If you like power, you might as well
defect from Hong Jiang
to the King of Xiyan.
I was wrong.
I was wrong.
I was wrong.
It's all right. I'm thick-skinned.
It's all right.
Xiaoliu.
Are you all right?
After consuming a bowl of hot soup,
all my internal organs feel comfortable.
You shouldn't spoil me like this.
What if I get used to your care,
but then you leave?
What should I do then?
I won't leave.
People who make promises are countless,
but those who keep them are hard to find.
Sleep tight.
Just ignore Xiang Liu.
I'll deal with him
in the future.
Don't worry.
I've already thought of a way
to deal with him.
CHENRONG ARMY'S BASE CAMP
Mr. Xiang.
Somebody!
Another one fainted.
Quickly, bring him away.
What's going on?
Mr. Xiang,
recently in the camp,
many people have fallen ill
from miasma poisoning.
Why is there a carriage?
Xiaoliu, come up. Let's have a look.
The young lady from a prominent family
is pretty indeed.
Xiaoliu, isn't that Mr. Yu?
Yes, that's him.
Xiaoliu, I'm not mistaken, am I?
Mr. Yu, the half-king of Qingshui Town,
also salutes this lady.
The entire West River Street,
including your pharmacy and my restaurant,
belongs to Mr. Yu.
You're not mistaken.
It seems that
we have an honored guest in Qingshui Town.
Skinny.
Have you memorized the rhymes
I taught you to distinguish herbs?
Yes.
I'll give you a test.
All right.
Shiqi.
Go ahead.
What is this?
White peony root.
-Xiaoliu, why did you hit me?
-Just hitting your pig-like head.
White peony root? You idiot.
Atractylodes Macrocephala
strengthens the spleen and qi
not for blood and menstruation.
Why can't you remember?
Shiqi can distinguish all the herbs
within less than six months.
And you? It has been so many years
and you still can't remember.
It has been years.
You just can't remember, right?
Xiaoliu.
Drink some water.
Let me check.
Skinny,
if I teach you again,
can you remember?
White peony root
is for blood and menstruation,
eliminating dampness and diuresis,
stopping sweat,
and preventing miscarriage.
Remember?
Can you remember?
Are you able to remember?
This is bad.
This is bad.
What happened?
I heard
I heard
Mr. Yu wants to reclaim the shops
near the river for other uses.
Rejuvenation Hall is by the river,
so it will also be reclaimed.
What should we do, Xiaoliu?
When we rented this place,
it was just a wasteland.
Xiaoliu and I
put in so much effort
to make it what it is now.
Even if Yu Xin
is half-king of Qingshui Town,
he shouldn't be so overbearing.
Reclaiming at will?
I like being near the water.
I don't want to move.
It's time to meet
the half-king of Qingshui Town.
I'll go with you.
All right.
YU MANSION
Mr. Yu.
Spare the courtesy.
Just speak.
I heard that you wanted
to reclaim the shops by the river.
That's right.
That includes Rejuvenation Hall.
You intend to rent it out again
after taking it back, right?
Whomever you rent to is the same.
Why don't you continue renting to us?
Regarding the rent, it's negotiable.
We can pay more.
Apart from this one shop
MR. YU
even the rent
for all the shops on the entire street
is nothing.
Can we negotiate?
After you take it back,
you can't just leave it idle.
It needs to be used.
You've been in Qingshui Town
for over 20 years, right?
To be honest,
I'm just a servant,
merely running errands.
My master is extremely wealthy.
Apart from this one shop,
even if the entire Qingshui Town
becomes idle,
it won't cause any harm.
I have things to do.
I won't keep you any longer.
I'm sorry to bother you.
Ms. Jingye.
Stop!
Young Master.
They all say you're dead,
but we don't believe it.
It has been ten years.
Heaven has pity on us.
I finally found you.
Why don't you talk, Young Master?
I'm Jingye.
Did you forget?
And Lanxiang.
You once joked
that our names together sounded like,
"The fragrance of an orchid in the night."
Yu Xin,
send a message to Madam Tushan now.
Tell her we've found the young master.
Yes.
Young Master,
have you even forgotten Madam Tushan?
Take your time with your family affairs.
I'll leave first.
Young Master.
Xiaoliu, time to eat.
Xiaoliu,
did Mr. Yu agree
in letting us continue renting here?
I can't eat anymore.
I can't have it either.
I've been living here
for more than 20 years.
I can't bear to leave.
Don't worry.
We can rent for as long as we want.
Even if we don't pay the rent,
no one dares to take it back.
Really?
Did you convince Mr. Yu?
Kind of.
Thank goodness.
That's great. Let's eat.
Come on. Let's eat.
Mr. Mu, don't worry.
I'll stay with you
and take care of you until you die.
You have a short life.
I'm sure I can accompany you to death.
I won't let you be lonely and helpless,
but I don't know
who will be with me
when I die.
Brat, you're talking nonsense again.
Where's Shiqi, Xiaoliu?
Why hasn't Shiqi come back yet?
He's not coming back.
There's no need
to cook for him from now on.
He's not coming back? Where did he go?
He's staying in Mr. Yu's house.
Really?
Is he working for Mr. Yu now?
Mr. Yu is the one
who pays the most in Qingshui Town.
If Shiqi can live a decent life there,
we will benefit too.
So many good things happened today.
Let's add dishes to celebrate tonight.
-Sure. I'll go buy groceries later.
-I'll go buy the wine.
Dig in.
I'm full.
Why are you still wearing that?
Your clothes are scented.
I don't like the smell.
From now on, no more scent.
You should go home now
in case your family worries.
I
I still want to be Ye Shiqi.
There's no Ye Shiqi in this world.
My lord, I've discovered
Ye Shiqi's identity.
UPON INVESTIGATION,
YE SHIQI IS TUSHAN JING,
THE SECOND SON OF THE TUSHAN FAMILY
It's him.
Xiaoliu, let me do it.
Thank you.
What for? It's my duty.
Xiaoliu, were you waiting for someone?
No.
I must have seen it wrong.
When you turned your head and saw me,
you seemed a little disappointed.
So I thought you were waiting for someone.
Xiaoliu, why don't you go home first?
I'll finish washing soon.
Are you used to living here these days?
Ever since I came to Rejuvenation Hall,
I've felt settled like never before.
I can sleep until daybreak.
Xiaoliu,
thank you for helping me
and Skinny be together
and for giving me a family.
Aren't you worried
about the future at all?
Rather than regret it in the future,
you'd better stay away now.
As long as your heart
becomes cold and hard,
the pain will be less.
Once the heart becomes hard and cold,
it can indeed block out pain,
but it will also block out joy.
What's wrong, Xiaoliu?
Your words inspired me.
Thank you, Tian'er.
You're welcome.
I can't feel his pulse. He's dying.
Mr. Xiang,
miasma is toxic and hard to treat.
The number of patients
is increasing day by day.
We urgently need a large amount
of medicinal materials, but
I'll figure it out.
List out the needed medicinal materials.
Yes, I'll write it down immediately.
There's no scent on your clothes.
You don't like it.
The herbal medicine made by me.
Wear it.
What? You don't like it?
Never mind. You can keep using the scent.
How many maids did you have before?
Two.
How much money do you have?
I
I haven't counted.
Was your previous issue
related to a financial dispute?
Yes.
Does Jingye look better or Lanxiang?
Do you still remember
the herbs I told you about before?
I do.
Those herbs seem ordinary,
but by adding a little thing,
you can take down
either deities or demons.
You aren't that Nine-Headed Demon.
You don't have nine lives.
Don't eat things randomly.
All right.
So does Lanxiang look better or Jingye?
Those closest to you
would be the most unreliable.
Look out for yourself.
All right.
Don't take action,
enduring and pretending to be dumb.
Or if you have to,
do it decisively and completely.
Never be softhearted.
If you really can't beat them down,
you can come back
and help me grow medicine.
Either way, you won't starve.
All right.
My lord,
many people in the Chenrong Army
got sick from miasma
and they lack medicine.
Xiang Liu is trying
to gather medicinal materials.
If he can't control the disease,
it will inevitably
lower the army's morale.
It's the right time
to force the Chenrong Army to surrender.
Pass the order.
Buy all the main medicines Xiang Liu needs
so that they have no medicine to use.
When they are at their wit's end,
seize the chance
to entice them to surrender.
Yes.
However
Tell me.
My lord,
the men of the fifth
and seventh kings have been active lately.
If we act now,
I'm afraid the credit
will be taken by your uncles,
which will benefit them but not you.
If they can surrender earlier,
the world can be peaceful sooner.
How can I give up for personal gain?
Even if I want the throne,
I can't leave the interests
of the people behind.
I'm impressed
that you care for the entire world.
Go.
Be cautious.
Yes.
As you all know,
there are three royal families
and four noble families in Dahuang.
Today, I want to talk about
one of the four noble families,
the richest family in Dahuang,
the Tushan family.
The Tushan family
are descendants
of the Nine-Tailed Fox deity.
They have been
running businesses for generations.
Their businesses span
throughout the entirety of Dahuang.
The Qingqiu Hill,
where the Tushan family lives,
is built with jade tiles and gold bricks,
as well as various exotic animals
and monsters in the garden.
Although the family isn't a royal one,
it's like a royal family.
Their offspring are continuous
and their influence is deeply rooted.
Even the two emperors
have to show them some respect.
Don't be envious, everyone.
After all, wealth is like a wisp of smoke.
Anyway, you can't wish for it
if heaven doesn't bestow it upon you.
Xiaoliu, come and sit here.
Mr. Xuan.
Thank you.
The Tushan family is large
and has a big business,
but their descendants aren't many now.
This generation's direct line
only has a pair of brothers.
Master Qingqiu,
the second young master
of the Tushan family,
is intelligent, handsome,
and proficient in all aspects
of music, chess,
calligraphy, and painting.
Not only is he elegant and witty,
but he's also good at running businesses.
That's why all the girls in Dahuang
call Master Qingqiu
the man of their dreams.
Xiaoliu.
Xiaoliu.
You didn't recognize him in new clothes?
This roasted ginkgo seed
is really delicious,
but it's a bit troublesome to peel.
Try it.
I'll have this.
Not only is he accomplished
in both literature and martial arts,
but his tactics are also quite remarkable.
So much so that
in Qingqiu Hill and Dahuang,
everyone only knows him
but not the first young master.
As the saying goes,
"From the same family
but with different destinies."
Please have a seat.
Why are you still standing there? Sit.
Master Qingqiu
is famous all over the world.
He might be
the next leader of the Tushan family.
Across the whole world,
the number of young ladies
from prominent families
who want to marry him is just endless.
Mrs. Tushan had been selecting
for a long time
and finally decided on
Ms. Fangfeng for the second young master.
Ms. Fangfeng
traveled around with her father
and brothers since she was a child.
She is unlike ordinary girls.
Not only was she born
as beautiful as a blooming flower,
but she also has excellent archery skills.
Unfortunately,
during the wedding preparation,
the second young master was seriously ill.
The wedding had to be canceled.
The lovers failed to get married.
Over the years,
the second young master
has been healing in seclusion.
The power of the family
has changed hands to his brother.
This is the turning of fate
and the unpredictability of destiny.
Once the trend changes,
fortune is beyond one's control.
What's your name?
Next time we meet,
it would be inappropriate
to pretend not to know you.
However, even if I have
ten times the courage,
I wouldn't dare to call you Shiqi.
Even if you don't mind,
your wife would shoot me with an arrow.
Even if you don't tell me,
someone else will tell me sooner or later.
Tushan Jing.
Tushan Jing.
How do you write it?
TUSHAN JING
What's the name of your soon-to-be bride?
Six years.
I've taken you in for six years.
You exempted me from six years of rent.
From now on, we owe each other nothing.
Master Qingqiu?
I'll have to call you that
from now on, right?
Look. Xiaoliu saved you.
However, you didn't even
reveal your true identity to him.
No wonder Xiaoliu is angry.
Wait until Xiaoliu calms down
and then sincerely apologize to him.
I'll take my leave.
ADAPTED FROM TONG HUA'S ORIGINAL WORK,
LOST YOU FOREVER

Goodbye and take care.

at the Rejuvenation Hall today,

Shiqi.
Get on.
All right.
Xiaoliu.
Don't worry, Shiqi. I'm fine.
You go home. I'll be back soon.
Go home.
I'm coming.
Go home, Shiqi.
Go home.

no one dares to take it back.
Really?
Did you convince Mr. Yu?
Kind of.
Thank goodness.
That's great. Let's eat.
Come on. Let's eat.
Mr. Mu, don't worry.
I'll stay with you
and take care of you until you die.
You have a short life.
I'm sure I can accompany you to death.
I won't let you be lonely and helpless,
but I don't know
who will be with me
when I die.
Brat, you're talking nonsense again.
Where's Shiqi, Xiaoliu?
Why hasn't Shiqi come back yet?
He's not coming back.
There's no need
to cook for him from now on.
He's not coming back? Where did he go?
He's staying in Mr. Yu's house.
Really?
Is he working for Mr. Yu now?
Mr. Yu is the one
who pays the most in Qingshui Town.
If Shiqi can live a decent life there,
we will benefit too.
So many good things happened today.
Let's add dishes to celebrate tonight.
-Sure. I'll go buy groceries later.
-I'll go buy the wine.
Dig in.
I'm full.
Why are you still wearing that?
Your clothes are scented.
I don't like the smell.
From now on, no more scent.
You should go home now
in case your family worries.
I
I still want to be Ye Shiqi.
There's no Ye Shiqi in this world.
My lord, I've discovered
Ye Shiqi's identity.
UPON INVESTIGATION,
YE SHIQI IS TUSHAN JING,
THE SECOND SON OF THE TUSHAN FAMILY
It's him.
Xiaoliu, let me do it.
Thank you.
What for? It's my duty.
Xiaoliu, were you waiting for someone?
No.
I must have seen it wrong.
When you turned your head and saw me,
you seemed a little disappointed.
So I thought you were waiting for someone.
Xiaoliu, why don't you go home first?
I'll finish washing soon.
Are you used to living here these days?
Ever since I came to Rejuvenation Hall,
I've felt settled like never before.
I can sleep until daybreak.
Xiaoliu,
thank you for helping me
and Skinny be together
and for giving me a family.
Aren't you worried
about the future at all?
Rather than regret it in the future,
you'd better stay away now.
As long as your heart
becomes cold and hard,
the pain will be less.
Once the heart becomes hard and cold,
it can indeed block out pain,
but it will also block out joy.
What's wrong, Xiaoliu?
Your words inspired me.
Thank you, Tian'er.
You're welcome.
I can't feel his pulse. He's dying.
Mr. Xiang,
miasma is toxic and hard to treat.
The number of patients
is increasing day by day.
We urgently need a large amount
of medicinal materials, but
I'll figure it out.
List out the needed medicinal materials.
Yes, I'll write it down immediately.
There's no scent on your clothes.
You don't like it.
The herbal medicine made by me.
Wear it.
What? You don't like it?
Never mind. You can keep using the scent.
How many maids did you have before?
Two.
How much money do you have?
I
I haven't counted.
Was your previous issue
related to a financial dispute?
Yes.
Does Jingye look better or Lanxiang?
Do you still remember
the herbs I told you about before?
I do.
Those herbs seem ordinary,
but by adding a little thing,
you can take down
either deities or demons.
You aren't that Nine-Headed Demon.
You don't have nine lives.
Don't eat things randomly.
All right.
So does Lanxiang look better or Jingye?
Those closest to you
would be the most unreliable.
Look out for yourself.
All right.
Don't take action,
enduring and pretending to be dumb.
Or if you have to,
do it decisively and completely.
Never be softhearted.
If you really can't beat them down,
you can come back
and help me grow medicine.
Either way, you won't starve.
All right.
My lord,
many people in the Chenrong Army
got sick from miasma
and they lack medicine.
Xiang Liu is trying
to gather medicinal materials.
If he can't control the disease,
it will inevitably
lower the army's morale.
It's the right time
to force the Chenrong Army to surrender.
Pass the order.
Buy all the main medicines Xiang Liu needs
so that they have no medicine to use.
When they are at their wit's end,
seize the chance
to entice them to surrender.
Yes.
However
Tell me.
My lord,
the men of the fifth
and seventh kings have been active lately.
If we act now,
I'm afraid the credit
will be taken by your uncles,
which will benefit them but not you.
If they can surrender earlier,
the world can be peaceful sooner.
How can I give up for personal gain?
Even if I want the throne,
I can't leave the interests
of the people behind.
I'm impressed
that you care for the entire world.
Go.
Be cautious.
Yes.
As you all know,
there are three royal families
and four noble families in Dahuang.
Today, I want to talk about
one of the four noble families,
the richest family in Dahuang,
the Tushan family.
The Tushan family
are descendants
of the Nine-Tailed Fox deity.
They have been
running businesses for generations.
Their businesses span
throughout the entirety of Dahuang.
The Qingqiu Hill,
where the Tushan family lives,
is built with jade tiles and gold bricks,
as well as various exotic animals
and monsters in the garden.
Although the family isn't a royal one,
it's like a royal family.
Their offspring are continuous
and their influence is deeply rooted.
Even the two emperors
have to show them some respect.
Don't be envious, everyone.
After all, wealth is like a wisp of smoke.
Anyway, you can't wish for it
if heaven doesn't bestow it upon you.
Xiaoliu, come and sit here.
Mr. Xuan.
Thank you.
The Tushan family is large
and has a big business,
but their descendants aren't many now.
This generation's direct line
only has a pair of brothers.
Master Qingqiu,
the second young master
of the Tushan family,
is intelligent, handsome,
and proficient in all aspects
of music, chess,
calligraphy, and painting.
Not only is he elegant and witty,
but he's also good at running businesses.
That's why all the girls in Dahuang
call Master Qingqiu
the man of their dreams.
Xiaoliu.
Xiaoliu.
You didn't recognize him in new clothes?
This roasted ginkgo seed
is really delicious,
but it's a bit troublesome to peel.
Try it.
I'll have this.
Not only is he accomplished
in both literature and martial arts,
but his tactics are also quite remarkable.
So much so that
in Qingqiu Hill and Dahuang,
everyone only knows him
but not the first young master.
As the saying goes,
"From the same family
but with different destinies."
Please have a seat.
Why are you still standing there? Sit.
Master Qingqiu
is famous all over the world.
He might be
the next leader of the Tushan family.
Across the whole world,
the number of young ladies
from prominent families
who want to marry him is just endless.
Mrs. Tushan had been selecting
for a long time
and finally decided on
Ms. Fangfeng for the second young master.
Ms. Fangfeng
traveled around with her father
and brothers since she was a child.
She is unlike ordinary girls.
Not only was she born
as beautiful as a blooming flower,
but she also has excellent archery skills.
Unfortunately,
during the wedding preparation,
the second young master was seriously ill.
The wedding had to be canceled.
The lovers failed to get married.
Over the years,
the second young master
has been healing in seclusion.
The power of the family
has changed hands to his brother.
This is the turning of fate
and the unpredictability of destiny.
Once the trend changes,
fortune is beyond one's control.
What's your name?
Next time we meet,
it would be inappropriate
to pretend not to know you.
However, even if I have
ten times the courage,
I wouldn't dare to call you Shiqi.
Even if you don't mind,
your wife would shoot me with an arrow.
Even if you don't tell me,
someone else will tell me sooner or later.
Tushan Jing.
Tushan Jing.
How do you write it?
TUSHAN JING
What's the name of your soon-to-be bride?
Six years.
I've taken you in for six years.
You exempted me from six years of rent.
From now on, we owe each other nothing.
Master Qingqiu?
I'll have to call you that
from now on, right?
Look. Xiaoliu saved you.
However, you didn't even
reveal your true identity to him.
No wonder Xiaoliu is angry.
Wait until Xiaoliu calms down
and then sincerely apologize to him.
I'll take my leave.
