Lost You Forever (2023) s01e26 Episode Script

1
ADAPTED FROM TONG HUA'S ORIGINAL WORK,
LOST YOU FOREVER
Cangxuan.
Don't be sad.
I'm here for you.
Xiaoyao is with you.
You are with me.
I'm no longer sad.
Are you all right?
The poison in your body
has been completely removed.
Congratulations. You have recovered.
Thank you.
Yes, you're indebted to me.
You have to pay me back someday.
All right.
I haven't drunk during this period
for fear of messing things up.
Now, mission accomplished.
I really want to get drunk.
What is all this?
Why is there so much wine?
Since we got here,
Jing has been sending you wine
every 15 days.
You wanted to quit drinking,
so I saved them all for you.
Several months
have passed unawares
since we first got here.
Each box contains 15 bottles of wine.
Between you and Tushan Jing,
is there anything related
to the number 15?
He always does something
about the number 15,
as if he is reminding you of something.
In order to detoxify you
without making any mistake,
I haven't drunk wine for several months.
I really miss it.
Are you missing the wine
or the person who sends you the wine?
You were my main concern then.
So I missed neither of them.
But now,
I kind of miss both.
Cangxuan.
The wine is delivered
and my task is completed.
I'm leaving.
MOUNT CHENRONG, CAO'AO RANGE
Without the Spirit Animal's guidance,
it would be hard to find this place.
Why are you so quiet?
It has been a while.
Yes.
We used to see each other every day
in Qingshui Town.
Now, it's too hard to see each other.
Sometimes,
there's no one to talk to.
My family's merchant group
will often come in and out of here.
I can visit you easily.
This place is really nice.
Who lived in this thatched house
on Mount Chenrong?
I asked the mountain guards,
but no one knows.
They only know this place is Cao'ao Range.
It was a forbidden place for Chenrong.
Is this place Cao'ao Range?
After I discovered it,
I cleaned it up.
This house must be built
by a top expert of the Wood Spirit.
A thousand years later,
the spirit power has not dissipated.
So the house does not look old at all.
Do you know who owned this house?
Who?
Chi Chen,
the infamous brutal demon in Dahuang.
I've read the books in Zijin Palace.
King of Chenrong made it a forbidden place
because of him.
Chi Chen?
This was his residence?
Everyone in Dahuang thinks
Chi Chen loves an extravagant life.
I didn't expect his residence
in Chenrong to be so simple.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know he once lived here.
Let's leave now.
My mother and Chi Chen
both died on the battlefield
for their own countries.
No one is to blame.
Besides,
why should we give ourselves a hard time
for a person who has been dead
for hundreds of years?
You like this place.
So do I.
Let's consider this place
as our own house.
We can meet here.
All right.
Fenglong.
I'm going out.
Let's talk when I come back.
Are you going to see Cangxuan?
Yes.
Fenglong.
Can you tell Cangxuan
not to hang out with women all day,
but do something serious?
The clans in Central Plains
are dissatisfied with him now.
How can he
Don't you know
why he behaved like that?
I know, but
Seeing him surrounded by women,
I feel upset.
Xinyue.
If you want a devoted man,
he is not the right person.
Cangxuan has too many things on his mind.
Women are trivial to him.
If you are determined to marry him,
don't expect him to have only you
and always put you first.
Now he is just putting on a show
with singers and dancers,
and you already can't stand it.
In the future,
you'll face more painful things.
I advise you to give up.
Are you really my brother?
You don't help me at all.
You just want me to give up.
Because I'm your brother,
I don't want you to marry Cangxuan.
What if I insist?
Then you must accept
that he has many women by his side.
MOUNT CHENRONG, SHENGYUN PEAK
Sorry to keep you waiting.
I just got here.
I can't hold a feast for you.
I can only bring an urn of wine for you.
What a coincidence.
I could only offer you water
in Xiyan City.
That still weighs on my mind.
Today, I brought home-brewed wine.
Try it.
Congratulations to you and me.
We really met on Mount Chenrong.
I have never admired anyone in my life
except you.
I was forced by the situation
and had to make a bolder move.
But you chose to help me
when you had many choices.
I am very grateful.
You're wrong.
Actually,
I also only had one choice.
Because only you have a big heart
to accommodate Dahuang.
I am so lucky
to have a confidant like you.
I only have a promise.
From now on,
I am willing to share weal and woe
with you.
Fenglong.
You have a special status.
You're not alone,
but with the Chishui family behind you.
Are you sure you want
to tie your family
to my uncertain future?
I'm willing to follow Your Highness
and never regret.
From now on,
you and I
will fight side by side.
It turned out Tushan Hou tempted Lanxiang.
I guess he still hasn't let go
of his hatred.
Are you still unwilling to kill him?
I've been fatherless.
My brother was of the same age as me,
yet he thought a brother
was like a father,
so he took care of me in every way.
Before my grandmother revealed the truth,
we were good brothers
for more than 400 years.
He was once the best brother in the world.
Xiaoyao.
I know that killing him
is the safest solution.
But I can't do it.
I often complain
that you're too soft-hearted
and indecisive.
But deep down,
I'm quite happy that you are soft-hearted.
My grandparents,
my parents, my brother,
and even I are all hard-hearted.
I like you
because you're different from us.
Can you
say it again?
You're different from us?
Not this, the previous one.
We are all hard-hearted.
Not this one. It's
I
I like you.
Why are you nervous?
I know you like me.
What's wrong? Are you aggrieved?
Tell me.
I'll help you as your elder sister.
Ms. Xiaoyao.
She is bullying me.
Shameless. Who is your sister?
You're much older than me.
Ms. Xiaoyao, are you helping or not?
I really brought this on myself.
Ms. Xiaoyao.
All right, stop it.
I'll say it.
What I just said is
I like you.
I'm confessing.
And I'm not shy.
Why are you blushing?
I'm happy.
What's the big deal?
As long as you behave well,
I'll say it to you every day
to make you happy.
All right.
Where's Xiaoyao?
Your Highness.
She went to meet a friend.
She hasn't come back yet.
Do we need to find her?
No need.
I'll wait for her.
She'll come home soon.
Yes.
Cangxuan.
Why are you still up
so late?
So are you.
I hadn't seen Jing for a long time.
We chatted and lost track of time.
I won't let it happen again.
Look what I brought you.
As I said,
Jing refined the white fox tail
into a spiritual weapon.
This little puppet can only
transform into you.
If you use this as a substitute,
neither Xiaoxiao nor Jinxuan
can recognize you.
Take it.
No.
You must take it.
I know
the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon hurt me,
so you're very bothered by it.
But because of that,
you should make good use of this puppet.
Cangxuan, you have to protect yourself.
Only then can I be at ease.
Is that all right?
Cangxuan, is that all right?
Cangxuan.
Thank you.
Xiaoyao.
Say whatever you want.
Jing was with you in Qingshui Town
for many years.
I know he must be special to you.
He is not Ye Shiqi anymore,
but Tushan Jing.
He's the future leader
of Qingqiu's Tushan family.
I know.
I received news
that Madam Tushan is not in good health.
She wants Jing to take over
as soon as possible.
Jing carries the fate of a clan.
He can't do whatever he wants.
I know.
Also,
Tushan Jing has a marriage contract
with Fangfeng Yiying.
This involves the interests of two clans.
The Fangfeng family won't waive
the alliance with the Tushan family.
It won't be easy for Jing
to cancel the engagement.
I didn't mean to make you feel bad.
I just hope you won't throw yourself
into this relationship.
I'm afraid he isn't good enough for you.
I understand.
I got you something too.
What is it?
I've checked Fangfeng Bei's background.
Xiaoyao, look.
It looks like a rockery from the outside,
but it's a maze set up by a formation.
There is a different world.
We have many visitors today.
If you want quiet,
-we can walk inside later.
-Sure.
You and Fenglong are celebrating
your birthdays today.
I'm afraid all the clansmen
in Central Plains
will come to celebrate, right?
Actually, there are no outsiders today.
The people in this garden
are all my relatives.
But we are not.
Why not?
Cangxuan's grandmother, Lady Xiezu,
is the lady of the Xiling family.
His grandmother's mother
is my grandfather's cousin's grandmother.
Speaking of which,
I should call him uncle.
His uncle,
the leader of the Xiling family,
married the lady of the Jiang family.
Their son, his cousin,
is the cousin of Ms. Jiang.
Ms. Jiang is the cousin of Ms. Shen.
I am the cousin of Ms. Shen.
I should also call him my cousin.
I'm totally confused
about these cousins.
Are you?
The Four Great Clans have been allied
with the clans in Central Plains.
Starting from Lady Xiezu,
you all have relatives in Central Plains.
Indeed.
We are all relatives.
No wonder my grandfather
has been worried about Central Plains.
All the clans' bloodlines
are intertwined.
They may fight each other,
but at the critical moment,
they will surely unite.
I consider myself not bad at chess,
but every time I play against you
and Cangxuan,
I often lose.
You just seldom dig into it.
You've been in Central Plains for a while,
but you rarely come out.
We were worried that you wouldn't come.
I'm not a sociable person.
I've turned down banquet invitations
as much as I could.
But I have to attend
your and Fenglong's banquet.
Your Highnesses.
Forgo formalities.
Xiaoyao, there are many fun places
in Zhiyi.
If there's any place you wish to visit,
let my brother accompany you.
I'm not praising my own brother.
He doesn't like to be around girls.
He seems careless,
but he must be thoughtful to you.
Greetings, Your Highness.
Forgo formalities.
Xiaoyao.
Someone has been thinking about you.
Bei, look who's here.
Why are you here too?
What do you mean by that?
Why are you here?
I haven't seen Fangfeng Bei
for a long time.
And I want to ask him about something.
Fangfeng Bei, come with me.
Excuse me.
I'll go find someone to drink with
in the garden.
I just remembered
I have something to tell my brother.
Excuse me for a while.
Fenglong, are you stupid?
Xiaoyao will be wooed away
if you don't take action.
What are you talking about?
Cangxuan.
My brother is smart,
but he becomes silly when he sees Xiaoyao.
He obviously likes her,
but he can't say it out.
You're my brother's buddy.
You have to help him.
I can only create opportunities for you.
As for Xiaoyao's own feelings,
I can't control that.
Thank you.
That's good enough.
Let's take a walk outside.
We can look for Xiaoyao as well.
All right.
Are you crazy?
This is the Chenrong Mansion.
If others knew your real identity,
I wouldn't be able to save you again.
This is not Xiyan City.
It's Central Plains.
Given the current situation,
the clans of Central Plains
won't help the Chenrong Army
fight against King of Xiyan,
but they definitely won't help him
catch us either.
I forgot Chenrong Yi is the descendant
of the Chenrong royal family.
Fine.
I don't need to worry about you.
Just forget it.
How's your archery?
What?
Since I promised to teach you archery,
I am your teacher.
As your teacher,
can't I check if my disciple
is slacking off?
You can.
I've been practicing lately.
My grandfather found an expert
to teach me.
He can kill even amidst
all the soldiers in a war.
But his archery
requires strong spirit power,
so it doesn't suit me at all.
After a few lessons,
I let him go.
I'll teach you.
You?
Master Xiang Liu
wants to teach me archery?
Are you scared?
You have had courage to tease
the snake demon, haven't you?
There's nothing to be afraid of.
If you dare to teach me,
I'd dare to learn from you.
The wine you brew does taste better.
If possible, please give me more.
I'll send some to my mother.
It's rare that you'd ask me for something.
Even if I don't have any,
I'll brew some for you.
Thank you in advance, Your Highness.
Fenglong.
Since you came here,
you haven't had a chat with Xinyue.
I'll go find Jing.
The maze is quite interesting.
If you're not careful,
you can lose your companions.
Xinyue.
If you want a devoted man,
he is not the right person.
If you are determined to marry him,
don't expect him to have only you.
What's wrong? Are you hurt?
Let me see.
It's scraped.
It'll be all right if you put ice over it.
Let's go back.
What's making you so upset?
It's you.
Me?
Nian.
You've been upset lately.
Can you tell me what's on your mind?
Father.
What's wrong with Cangxuan?
He has changed.
Now he spends his days with women,
caring only for pleasure.
As he is in that position,
there must be a reason
for every action he takes.
So you mean
spending his days with women
is just a show
and he doesn't enjoy it?
What I mean is,
Cangxuan is determined to take the throne.
Now he's destroying his reputation
to deceive his enemies.
And to gain the support
of the Central Plains clans,
he must form an alliance
with them through marriage.
But even so,
he doesn't need
to sacrifice himself for that.
You didn't, right?
So you only have my mother.
You're right.
That's why we had
the Five Princes Rebellion.
Back then,
because of my selfish thought,
I refused to form an alliance
with the Baihu and Changxi tribes,
leading them to support
the rebellion of the Five Princes.
During decades of war,
people were displaced or lost their lives.
Do you really think I was right?
I don't know.
I've taught Cangxuan for 100 years,
hoping that he can do better than me.
I believe that he can do it.
"Fangfeng Bei, the second son
of the Fangfeng family's leader.
His mother was of humble birth
and he was often bullied as a child.
He picked up bad habits when he was young
and became heavily in debt.
He was unable to repay.
So he fled to the Far North,
with no news for 45 years.
His family thought he was dead.
Unexpectedly, Fangfeng Bei returned home
with thousands of Ice Crystals
and was valued by the family.
His mother had been bedridden
for many years.
But Fangfeng Bei
took good care of her patiently.
His mother passed away in peace.
And everyone admired him.
They praised Bei for his filial piety."
The real Fangfeng Bei
died in the Far North, didn't he?
Yes.
Why did you choose him?
I didn't choose him.
He chose me.
THE FAR NORTH
FANGFENG BEI
Your meridians are broken.
I can't save you.
I know.
Please.
Please do me a favor.
What can you exchange
for my help?
I can
give you all my spirit blood and power.
I only ask you
to take care of my mother.
And let her live
her remaining years in peace.
All right.
As you wish.
I didn't expect Nine-Headed Demon
could be willing to be someone's son
and take care of a sick person
day after day.
If you knew it,
you wouldn't have agreed
to help Fangfeng Bei, would you?
In this deal,
I actually got the better end.
How so?
Since I hatched from the egg
and opened my eyes,
I've never met my parents.
Because of Fangfeng Bei,
I had a mother.
Although she was sick,
her unconditional love
made me understand the mother-child bond.
Any other questions?
You've kept your promise to Fangfeng Bei
and taken care of his mother
until her death.
Why do you still pretend
to be Fangfeng Bei now?
I pretend to be him?
I have just been myself
in these 400 years.
Whether it's Fangfeng Bei,
Xiang Liu, or Nine Lives,
they're all just names.
Right.
Fangfeng Bei and you
seem to be totally different.
But both of you are indifferent inside.
Is this your true face?
Who could have a fake face
for over 400 years?
Otherwise, I have to avoid mistakes
every time I transform.
Do you look exactly like Fangfeng Bei?
Not exactly.
When Fangfeng Bei ran away from home,
he was not yet an adult.
Decades later,
his looks and personality could change.
Furthermore,
he had a frostbite on his face
in the Far North.
He had a physician cure his face.
I see.
How many true faces do you have?
They all say you have nine true faces
and 81 transformations. Is that true?
I didn't say anything to upset you.
I'm just asking out of curiosity.
You don't have to answer.
You come to me.
Or should I go to you?
You can bite my arm.
The blood is the same.
Someone is peeping at us over there.
Shouldn't you do something?
Your Highness.
I'm just the illegitimate son
of the Fangfeng family.
I must not stand out.
Leave it to me. Where is he?
Let me see how accurate your shooting is.
Jing? Why are you here?
I didn't know you were there.
Are you hurt?
No.
You can have it back.
Why are you alone, Master Qingqiu?
Aren't you with my sister?
I
Fangfeng Bei, you tricked me.
It's just a joke.
I just saw my sister.
She's looking for you.
Is it fun to fool an honest man?
It's more fun to fool you.
Time will tell.
Let's wait and see
who the winner is.
Good. Being a princess makes you bolder.
You're so eager to see Tushan Jing.
Why did you run away just now?
How can I get out of this maze?
There are many interesting things
to see in this maze now.
Aren't you interested?
For example,
my sister and Tushan
No.
Don't regret it then.
I just played chess with Jing.
Looks like I've lost.
Cangxuan, why don't you take my place?
And I'll take Jing's place.
Let's try turning the game around.
All right.
My lady.
What's the matter?
Ms. Zhan is not feeling well.
Mr. Fan has taken her home first.
Got it.
Ms. Zhan, Fan Zhang's fiancée?
Who else could it be?
It is said that the Zhan family
had a feud with Chi Chen
and were wiped out.
Now she is the only child left.
Fortunately, the Fan family
has been taking care of her.
Chi Chen was the General of Chenrong.
But after his death,
no one in Central Plains mourned for him.
People should hate him.
Chi Chen was brutal and violent,
causing too many deaths.
Everyone can curse Chi Chen,
except the Chenrong family.
Tell me why.
You should ask your father about this.
You will find out
which side is indebted.
Fangfeng Bei.
What's going on?
Ms. Fangfeng.
Keep your brother in check.
Think about his status before he speaks.
This is no place for him to be rude.
I've been living
in the Tushan Mansion for decades,
helping them with the business.
How can I control him?
You do it yourself.
You're not married
into the Tushan family yet.
Don't consider yourself
to be the Lady of Tushan.
I used to respect you.
-Do you really think
-Xinyue!
Xinyue.
Why are you so angry?
You hypocrite.
Jing, I apologize on behalf of Xinyue.
Ms. Fangfeng, sorry about that.
Please don't take it to heart.
My mother has spoiled Xinyue.
I don't blame her. I was reckless.
Ms. Fangfeng,
please calm down.
I will punish myself with three cups
as an apology to you.
She's my friend.
It's normal that we squabble.
If I take it to heart, I will be petty.
Thank you, Ms. Fangfeng.
So sweet.
Xiaoyao and I will leave first.
Let's get together another time.
Today is the birthday
of Fenglong and Xinyue.
It seems a bit inappropriate
for us to leave suddenly.
Anyway, my reputation is already ruined.
Offending more people
will only make my two uncles
feel more at ease.
Sometimes, I ask for trouble.
You don't have to worry about me.
Xiaoyao.
In the future,
I will still be your good brother.
How can I not care
whether you're happy or not?
You make it sound as if
you were a mean brother.
Anyway,
at least one of us
should be happy, right?
What's wrong?
Nothing.
What's going on?
Why will just one of us be happy?
What about you? Why are you not happy?
Xiaoyao.
Do you think I chose this path
for happiness?
From today on,
I will be a good brother
and take good care of you.
