Lost You Forever (2023) s01e14 Episode Script
Episode 14
1
ADAPTED FROM TONG HUA'S ORIGINAL WORK,
LOST YOU FOREVER
I'll go with you
to meet the King of Haoling.
Let Tushan Jing go.
I can't trust you anymore.
Break his leg
so he can't run anymore.
Xuan.
Xuan.
You're really useless.
You got caught again.
Go to Mount Wushen.
Are you begging for mercy?
Since childhood,
I've suffered much more than this.
This pain means nothing.
Weren't you always good at playing coy?
Why are you acting tough now?
Take him to the prison cart.
Yes.
Shiqi.
Shiqi.
Shiqi.
Luckily, it's just a minor injury.
I've been testing you,
hoping to make you back off.
So I can leave without any concerns.
But you
For Sang Tian'er,
life is like a burning stove.
It might seem as if
Skinny is holding her up,
saving her from pain.
In fact,
for Sang Tian'er,
in place of her pains of a suffering life
is now her fear
of being abandoned by Skinny.
Perhaps many women
would choose the latter.
So they won't be tortured by life.
At least they can always hope
that men won't abandon them.
But I would rather suffer in life.
At least, I'm not tied down.
I can try to save myself.
In my lifetime,
I've suffered too many hardships
and losses.
I don't want to be hurt anymore.
I just want to hide in a hard shell.
Shiqi.
Shiqi.
Careful.
How are you feeling?
Blood?
Your blood?
Back then,
without my blood in your medicine,
how could you have survived until now?
Xiaoliu, you didn't
Why are you smiling so oddly?
I just figured something out.
Is Xiang Liu using your blood to heal?
Yes.
Xiang Liu
has been treating me like a cure-all.
He drinks my blood without any hesitation.
Why don't you take some more?
Don't do this anymore.
Wounds will heal eventually.
There is no need to use your blood.
You're such a fool
for never taking advantage of me.
HAOLING, DRAGON BONE PRISON
It seems like you're really mad at me.
Not everyone has the honor
to enter Dragon Bone Prison.
Maybe you'll stay here
for the rest of your life.
Move.
DRAGON BONE PRISON
I will save her. Wait for my call.
Your leg is injured.
Leaning on me can make you feel better.
It's really quiet here.
We can only hear our heartbeats.
How about we never leave?
Let's stay here forever.
All right.
All right?
Is that so?
What's so good
about staying in this prison?
Just you and me. It's serene.
Shiqi.
You've treated me so kindly
because you're grateful to me?
I saved you
and I have sheltered you
for over six years.
You have paid me back this time.
After we get out,
let's call it even.
Rest assured. I won't trouble you anymore.
I will stay far away from you.
I won't leave you.
Why?
You owe me nothing.
Do you still want to be with me
for the rest of your life?
Right.
But I'm a man.
Don't you think it's weird?
You're a woman.
How can you be so sure?
Even an astute man like Xiang Liu
is not sure about it.
Because he didn't see it.
What do you mean?
What is it?
What do you mean?
Tell me. What didn't he see?
-Tell me.
-I
When my injury was better,
I took a bath in the tub.
I have something else to do.
You wash yourself.
I saw it.
You blushed
when you saw my body.
No, you're talking nonsense.
-I'm not.
-Yes, you are.
I didn't blush. And I never blush.
Xiaoliu.
Xiaoliu.
When I was tortured
by my elder brother for three years,
I lived like a dead man
hopelessly.
You saved me.
You told me jokes,
combed my hair,
and fed me.
My wounds looked horrible and ugly.
I didn't even have the courage
to face them.
But you took good care of me
without any disgust.
When I saw you blushing
at that moment,
I felt like I came back
to life.
In your eyes,
I'm still a man
who can make you
Don't say it.
That day you looked at me
and ran away shyly
without finishing your sentence.
How could I possibly see you as a man?
You're a cunning man.
I always thought you were honest,
but I was deceived.
From that day on, I decided
I would never leave you.
I don't want to be Tushan Jing.
And I don't want to seek revenge.
But I'm afraid
my brother will hurt you and the others.
So I have to go back.
I'm my brother's target.
If he knows where I am,
he won't hurt you.
You won't hurt him,
but he will hurt you.
For your own safety,
you should kill your elder brother.
But if you do,
you will feel guilty,
carrying that burden
for the rest of your life.
Forget it.
So you can't kill him.
I knew you would support me.
Jingye and the others don't understand
why I refuse to seek revenge.
I'm not like you.
You are kind-hearted,
while I'm astute.
You're thinking for me.
Who told you?
My mother arranged my marriage
with Fangfeng Yiying.
There's only family interest between us,
no affection.
Before she came to Qingshui Town,
we were never in love.
We didn't even meet.
-Stop it.
-No, let me finish.
Xiaoliu.
I know I'm engaged.
I'm in no position to say this.
And I don't dare to think otherwise.
But
I will break off the engagement.
I promise.
Give me 20 years.
No, 15 years.
Give Tushan Jing 15 years
and he will return as Ye Shiqi to you.
What should I do?
You
Don't fall in love
with any other man.
You still don't know me well.
Well,
my heart
is like a hard shell.
Not to mention 15 years,
even 50 years later,
other men can't get in.
Did you agree?
Let's high-five for an oath.
Xiaoliu.
I'm so happy.
You always say everything is business.
Looking at you now,
why do I feel like I lost?
Love
can never be measured by interests.
The love between parents and children,
the love between siblings,
friendship,
and romantic love.
These affections seem commonplace
and exist everywhere,
but they are hard to get.
I used to hear people say
Tushan Jing is a good businessman.
They say you are witty and sharp
in business.
I never believed it.
I always thought you were dull
and inarticulate.
I just realized I was wrong.
Shiqi.
I'm different from you.
I'm not a businessman.
But I'm very clear
about things that matter.
I'm ruthless to others,
but I'm even more ruthless to myself.
Do you understand?
I understand.
I don't know if you really do.
You don't get your hopes up.
You won't be the first to trust anyone.
You won't show devotion first.
Sang Tian'er bets on a lifetime
with a false display of affection.
You treat a man with all your heart.
But if he doesn't cherish you,
you will abandon him.
I'm willing to wait
until you're ready.
How?
What if I'm never ready?
I'll wait a lifetime.
As long as you don't disappear,
even if we live like this for a lifetime,
I will feel happy.
Both of you, please come out.
I can carry him myself.
DRAGON BONE PRISON
DRAGON BONE PRISON
Go to the seaside.
Xiang Liu.
Are you that desperate to kill me?
You even came after me
all the way to Mount Wushen.
I'm not here to kill you.
What did you do?
You left Haoling's army in chaos.
Your leg was broken?
What can I do?
It's just a misunderstanding.
The sea is below the mountain.
I know what you mean.
As long as I leap into the sea,
you can take me away.
But we're in Mount Wushen.
You came alone and got injured.
If you take me,
I'm afraid we both won't leave here alive.
Moreover,
if I leave,
what about Shiqi?
I'm fine.
I don't want to owe you too much.
You should go.
Don't forget
you still owe me a debt.
Dead people can't repay debts.
Don't worry. I'm afraid of death.
I'm waiting for you to collect it.
I'll take my leave.
Stay back.
Don't waste your efforts.
Since he can come through the sea,
he can leave too.
Strengthen patrols in the future.
-Yes.
-Yes.
HAOLING, MOUNT WUSHEN
We have arrived.
HAOLING, CHENG'EN PALACE
SUNLIGHT HALL
Are you all right?
I'm fine. My leg suddenly hurts a bit.
CHENG'EN PALACE
This is where I live.
You two can stay here for now.
Wash up, get changed, and have a rest.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Today, after the court session,
I will report to His Majesty
that you're already here.
Xiaoliu.
His Majesty can summon you at any time.
Cure my leg.
I can, but you'd better not run around.
If Nian sees you,
you might suffer more.
I'm hungry.
Prepare a meal.
Take them to bathe and get changed.
Yes.
Be careful.
The physician warned you
not to walk around.
It will take
one to three months to heal.
I have a special constitution,
so I will recover quickly.
There are nice things in this place.
Maybe they can heal your old injuries.
But you might have to suffer a bit.
I don't mind.
Get some rest if you're tired.
You should rest too.
But
I don't want you to leave.
Are you troubled by the King of Haoling?
No matter what,
I will be here for you.
Summon Wen Xiaoliu.
I am Ye Shiqi. Greetings, Your Majesty.
Wen Xiaoliu's leg is injured,
so he can't bow.
Please forgive him.
Who injured your leg?
I did.
He was trying to escape,
so I punished him.
Join me for a meal.
Shiqi.
Thank you.
I'm a commoner.
It's my first time
seeing so much delicious food.
Please forgive me if I behave improperly.
What do you like?
I like money.
I wish I could roll
on a mountain of money.
What kind of food do you like?
I'm not picky.
I eat anything like chitterlings
and Parson's Nose.
I've asked the chef
to prepare Qing'ai Cake.
If there's anything else you want to eat,
I'll have the chef make it for you.
You can eat some
while listening to a story before bed.
I don't like longan.
Eat this.
Your favorite Qing'ai Cake.
There's only one slice left.
I want to eat it
while my mother tells me a story.
Xiaoyao.
Did you not finish your dinner
so you can have snacks before bed?
You can't do this again.
But my father said
I can eat whenever I want.
I'm just a commoner.
I've said that I'm not picky.
I've had my fill.
I'm so full. Let's go.
Thank you for the meal, Your Majesty.
We will take our leave.
You may go.
Master, who is Wen Xiaoliu?
Who do you think he is?
When you asked me to bring him back,
you said he's the son of an acquaintance.
I thought he was the son
of the Fifth King.
But Qing'ai Cake is Xiaoyao's favorite.
She liked eating snacks
while listening to stories before bed.
Wen Xiaoliu is
He is Xiaoyao?
I can't see through his illusion magic,
so I don't know
who he truly is.
Master, do you think so too?
I'm going to ask him who he is
and why he refuses to reunite with me.
Stop.
Don't you want to know the truth?
Xiaoyao is your daughter.
Nobody
can decide who he is.
It's up to him.
Some harm is caused
not only in the name of evil,
but also in the name of love.
You want to know who he is.
So do I.
But don't press him to tell us.
Give him more time
to tell us personally.
I don't understand.
You will understand one day.
Hang in there.
In fact, you've already
told me who you are.
But I was blinded by cruelty
and failed to notice it.
I don't eat longan.
Your Highness.
Come and have fruit with us.
Break his leg.
Xuan.
Get the most experienced interrogator.
Just leave Wen Xiaoliu alive.
Does it hurt?
No.
Take good care of him.
If I had kept my promise
to pick Xiaoyao up at Mount Jade,
she wouldn't have gone missing.
ADAPTED FROM TONG HUA'S ORIGINAL WORK,
