Short filmTranscript
00:04Since you don't play fair, I do know a few tricks myself.
00:08Lightning strike.
00:11I'm Mia Smith, the Duke's daughter.
00:13I've just returned from Celestial Mountain.
00:16Open the gate now.
00:17Hmm, begging for alms?
00:19Use the back door.
00:20Our lady is the most radiant noble.
00:22Take a look at yourself.
00:23Keep lying and I'll set the dongs on you.
00:25How dare you impersonate her?
00:31Paper Spirit, help me.
00:33Open.
00:43Close.
00:48A ghost, help!
00:51Freeze.
00:53How dare you?
00:54Someone!
00:55She broke into the manor with dark magic.
00:57Kill her now!
00:58Ma'am, you've got it wrong.
00:59I am Mia Smith.
01:00This is my home.
01:01How is it breaking in if I'm coming home?
01:03Would you please stop laughing?
01:05That creepy smile is worse than the paper doll.
01:07You witch!
01:08Full of nonsense!
01:09Everyone knows the Duke's daughter is a celebrated beauty.
01:12What kind of lowlife are you to impersonate her?
01:14You're asking to die!
01:16Someone, cut her down!
01:18This old woman is serious.
01:19My master told me noble families have many rules.
01:21I can't act as freely as I did on the mountain.
01:23I have to be dignified and reasonable.
01:24I don't know what's going on.
01:25Neither do I know that celebrated beauty.
01:27But I really am the Duke's daughter.
01:28I was sent to Celestial Mountain when I was one.
01:31Ridiculous!
01:31I've never heard of Mia Smith.
01:33That can't be.
01:34I wrote to my brother and told him I'd come home today.
01:36He's the heir.
01:37I came down to get married.
01:39When I was two, my father died saving Prince David in the north.
01:43Prince David went up the mountain and arranged for me to marry his heir.
01:47Here's the token, Fierce Tiger.
01:48It should prove who I am.
01:50Everyone knows Fierce Tiger was stolen.
01:52They've been looking for it for years.
01:54And now you show up with stolen goods.
01:58Now's my chance.
01:59Archer's ready.
02:00Yes.
02:01Shoot her down and take back the token.
02:03My father never took a concubine.
02:06His late wife was my only mother.
02:08Who do you think you are?
02:09I thought you were just some clueless relative.
02:12I wanted to talk it out so no one would hear about this.
02:15But since you won't listen to reason, I do know a few tricks myself.
02:19Lightning.
02:20Strike.
02:29Sorceress!
02:30You're a sorceress!
02:31Someone kill her now!
02:33Put her to death!
02:35You're covered in bad karma.
02:36You must have done terrible things.
02:38Even without me, you'd face a bloody disaster soon enough.
02:42Remember.
02:44I struck you to save your life.
02:46You're welcome.
02:47Now.
02:57Mother!
02:59Who are you?
03:00Why did you come to our manor to hurt my mother?
03:04My lady, this sorceress pretended to be you and forced her way in.
03:07When Madam caught her with the stolen token, she lashed out and attacked.
03:16First, I'm not a sorceress.
03:18I'm a priestess from Celestial Mountain.
03:19Second, I didn't pretend to be anyone.
03:21Third, I didn't steal the token.
03:23And finally, I didn't attack anyone.
03:25Your mother accused me first and tried to kill me first.
03:29I saw she was weighed down by bad karma and that death was coming for her.
03:32I struck her with lightning to defend myself and to cleanse her karma.
03:35She's not dead.
03:36She'll wake up soon.
03:47Murder!
03:49The sorceress killed again!
03:53First, our madam.
03:55Now, our lady.
03:56Are you trying to wipe out the entire manor?
04:01I barely touched her.
04:02She's faking it.
04:03This is my house.
04:04Why would I wipe out my own family?
04:05Who's crazy here?
04:06You or me?
04:09I know you're awake.
04:11Stop pretending.
04:12I know a very painful pressure point.
04:14My master never lets me use it.
04:16If you don't wake up, I'm going to press it.
04:20Here we go.
04:28She's awake.
04:30See?
04:30I'm a miracle healer.
04:34A miracle healer.
04:36That's right.
04:37A miracle healer.
04:38The greatest healer alive.
04:39Amazing.
04:40So amazing.
04:42Are you Ava, the lady of the manor they talked about?
04:47Yes.
04:47Now you know.
04:48Let go of me.
04:49Oh.
04:50So I was right.
04:51Listen carefully.
04:52I'm the real lady of this manor.
04:54My name is Mia Smith.
04:55You've taken my place.
04:56You've stolen my fortune.
04:58I am a priestess and I take that very seriously.
05:00I hope you understand.
05:01I'm going to take back everything you've-
05:03What are you doing?
05:03Stolen from me.
05:04I am a priestess and I take that very seriously.
05:06I hope you understand.
05:07I'm going to take back everything you've-
05:10What are you doing?
05:10Stolen from me.
05:11Let go of me.
05:12Someone help.
05:13Help me.
05:13What are you doing?
05:14Let her go.
05:15Judd, save me.
05:21Are you my brother?
05:22Hello.
05:23I'm your real sister.
05:24I'm Mia Smith.
05:27You-
05:28You are Mia?
05:29You're really Mia?
05:30I'm Chad.
05:31Your fourth brother.
05:33Mia, you're finally back.
05:35You've been gone for years without a word.
05:37Why didn't you tell us you were coming back?
05:39I would have come to get you.
05:45Fourth brother?
05:46I only have three brothers.
05:48Where did a fourth come from?
05:50You don't know.
05:52After father died, two of his concubines from the northern border brought his body back.
05:56They each had a son.
05:57They were both added to the family records, so I became the fourth.
05:59Oh Mia, you're holding on to Ava.
06:01She was born after our mother returned to the capital.
06:03We're all family.
06:04She's your sister too.
06:05Let her go.
06:06Didn't our mother die when giving birth to me?
06:08So what did she come back from the dead?
06:10Didn't our mother die when giving birth to me?
06:13So what did she come back from the dead?
06:15Mia, what are you talking about?
06:16I meant Madame Lane.
06:18Not our mother.
06:19She was one of the concubines I mentioned.
06:21After father died, our eldest brother was named heir.
06:23The elders thought the manor needed someone to run things, so they raised Madame Lane's
06:26status and put her in charge.
06:27She's taking care of the family for over a decade.
06:29It's only right to call her mother.
06:30You mean you let someone else take our mother's place?
06:33Madame Lane raised the three of us.
06:36It's only right to call her mother.
06:37Come on, Mia.
06:39You just got home.
06:40You don't know the situation.
06:41Mother won't hold it against you.
06:42But Ava is your sister.
06:43She's never been treated like this.
06:45How could you?
06:46They both tried to kill me.
06:48Why shouldn't I treat her this way?
06:49Chad!
06:51Go check mother.
06:52As soon as she came back, she struck mother with lightning.
06:56She could be dead by now.
06:59Have you lost your mind attacking your own family like this?
07:03You're a priestess.
07:04You believe in karma.
07:05Treating your mother and sister like this.
07:06Aren't you afraid of karma?
07:16Are you deaf?
07:18You only hear Ava saying what I did.
07:20But not me telling you.
07:22They tried to kill me the moment I walked in.
07:25That's nonsense.
07:26Mother is kind and gentle.
07:27Ava is sweet and innocent.
07:28They would never try to kill anyone.
07:30I see.
07:31The thunder.
07:32The guards shouting about an intruder.
07:33That was you, wasn't it?
07:34You provoked them first.
07:35You can't blame mother and Ava for defending themselves.
07:37You're just shifting the blame.
07:41You hit me?
07:43I already did.
07:45Isn't that obvious?
07:46I didn't force my way in.
07:48I told them who I was the moment I arrived.
07:51I even showed them the tiger token.
07:52They didn't believe me, called me a thief, and tried to kill me.
07:55I'm only explaining this once.
07:58They can all testify.
07:59Ask them yourself.
08:04I trust my own eyes.
08:06You came home, used your magic to strike mother with lightning, and now you're holding Ava hostage,
08:10trying to make everyone lie for you.
08:12All those years at Celestial Mountain.
08:14Is this what you learned?
08:15I told Big Brother I was coming home today.
08:17Why did no one know?
08:18You only remembered him?
08:20So you only told him?
08:22No wonder no one knew.
08:23Blame him if you're upset.
08:24Why does everyone say Ava is the lady of the manor?
08:27You weren't here.
08:28Of course she is.
08:30You're sisters.
08:31Why does it matter so much?
08:37What are you doing?
08:38Let Ava go.
08:39She's been pampered her whole life.
08:41She can't take this.
08:42I am a priestess.
08:43She's been called the lady for over a decade.
08:44That's stealing my fortune.
08:45She has to give it back.
08:47Mia, you're her older sister.
08:48Why are you being so hard on her?
08:50You're both smiths.
08:51Does it really matter who the lady is?
08:53And even if it does, she's been the lady for years.
08:55How is she supposed to give that back?
08:59Oh no.
09:01In all the chaos, I sent someone to report this.
09:04Are you insane?
09:04You don't air family shame in public.
09:06When Madame Lane finds out you brought the law here, she'll see you alive.
09:08Go catch them before it's too late.
09:13Not only did you take my identity, you also took the moon pavilion my mother prepared for me.
09:18Mia, you're being too harsh.
09:20Ava was sickly as a child.
09:22She had nightmares everywhere except the moon pavilion.
09:25Houses fall apart when no one lives in them.
09:27You've been gone for years.
09:28Ava living here was helping you maintain it.
09:30You should thank her.
09:37You have two hours.
09:38Get all of Ava's things out of here.
09:41If you're not done in two hours, I'm burning everything.
09:44Mia, calm down.
09:45Ava has lived here for over a decade.
09:47You can't just come back and kick her out like this.
09:48My mother prepared this residence for me before I was born.
09:51Every plant, every piece of furniture came from her dowry.
09:55Moon pavilion is meant for me.
09:57I don't care if you've called someone else mother, but if you help someone take what my mother left for
10:01me,
10:01I'll beat you so badly even our own mother wouldn't recognize you.
10:18Young Master Chad, what's going on?
10:20Who is that?
10:21How could she do this to our lady?
10:24Idiot.
10:25Didn't you see me signaling you to block them?
10:27Why are you just standing there?
10:29Forgive me, young master.
10:30Mia, how dare you hurt Ava?
10:32I won't forgive you.
10:33Open the door.
10:33Open it now.
10:34I'm your brother.
10:36Are you going to disobey me?
10:37Go to the bamboo courtyard.
10:39Bring the heir here.
10:40Young Master Chad, he never interferes with Lady Ava's affairs.
10:43He probably won't come.
10:45Tell him the real lady of the matter has returned.
10:47She's taken Ava and is threatening her life.
10:48If he doesn't want Mia arrested and executed, he'd better come here now and talk some sense into her.
10:57Things are about to change.
11:01I can see from your face that you're not a bad person.
11:04So, why did you take my place and steal my fortune?
11:07I don't know what you're talking about.
11:09I didn't even know you existed.
11:10I didn't mean to take your place.
11:12Whether you meant it or not, you took my place and let everyone call you the lady for over a
11:15decade.
11:16That's still the truth.
11:16My master said people who profit from something don't get to claim innocence.
11:19You have to give back what you stole.
11:21What are you going to do?
11:22I'm going to take back the fortune of the lady of the manor.
11:25You don't mind, do you?
11:25Are you going to hurt me with dark magic?
11:27How is this dark magic?
11:28Our sect is a legitimate Taoist school.
11:29My master even had a government position.
11:31No, please, don't hurt me.
11:35Help, Henry, Ian, Chad, Bob.
11:37Help me, brothers.
11:49You took my place and stole my fortune.
11:51Now that I'm here, forget about your brothers.
11:54Even if you called on the gods, you'd still have to give back what's mine.
11:58Ancestors above, I, Mia Smith, 30th generation disciple of the Celestial sect, come to claim I do.
12:02Ancestors, aid me.
12:07Mia, stop!
12:08The master said there's a spell on Ava blocking you from reclaiming your fortune.
12:11Then I'll take it by force.
12:13The master said if you do that, all you'll get is her bad luck.
12:17What?
12:18What kind of cruel spell is that?
12:20We don't know yet, but the master said you can use a transfer charm to slowly reclaim what's yours.
12:25It's slower, but what comes back will truly be your own fortune.
12:28Even if you do nothing, within six months it will all return.
12:32Echo, I have a plan to get it back faster.
12:36Don't do anything rash!
12:37If I kill Ava, my fortune will return instantly.
12:40That'd be quick.
12:41Silly girl, what are you?
12:42The Grim Reaper?
12:43All this talk of killing?
12:44You're gonna give me a heart attack!
12:46Master, fine, if you won't help me, but why hit me?
12:49She struck first.
12:50How many times have I told you?
12:51You're a priestess.
12:52Do not harm the innocent.
12:53Build good karma.
12:54You are a clever girl.
12:55Why are you always thinking about killing?
12:57Are you the Grim Reaper?
12:59Why not let your family throw you a welcome banquet?
13:02Announce to everyone that you're the real lady of the manor.
13:06Once you each take your proper place with the transfer charm, your fortune will return quickly.
13:11Mia, I'll go through heavenly tribulation tonight.
13:14Listen to Echo from now on.
13:15Don't be so extreme.
13:16You're the heir of the Celestial Sect, not the Grim Reaper.
13:18Understand?
13:19Yes, master.
13:19Good girl.
13:24Mia, this girl has good karma.
13:26You must not kill her.
13:28Remember that.
13:29That good karma probably came from the fortune she stole from me.
13:32I have to take it back.
13:34Take what back?
13:35You're a priestess, not a bandit.
13:36Do you hear yourself?
13:37You can't just steal good karma.
13:39Aren't you afraid of divine punishment?
13:41Swear on your conscience right now.
13:42Swear you won't harm the innocent, won't give in to the urge to kill, and won't break the rules of
13:46our sex.
13:46That hurts, ancestor.
13:47Let go.
13:47You're wasting your energy to stay in this form.
13:49You'll leave sooner.
13:49Cut the chatter, girl.
13:50Swear the oath now.
13:51I don't have much time.
13:53Ancestors above, I, Mia Smith, swear on my conscience that I will never harm the innocent,
13:57never give in to the urge to kill, and never break the rules of our sect.
14:00There, I've sworn.
14:01Now let go of me.
14:02Your spirit form is already fading.
14:04Look, ancestor.
14:05If you hadn't wasted your energy hitting me, you could have lasted until midnight.
14:09Don't cry.
14:09Seeing you safely home puts my mind at ease.
14:12I can face my tribulation without regret.
14:14You'll have to walk your own path from here.
14:16Remember, you are the heir of the Celestial Sect,
14:18not the Grim Reaper.
14:20Lord Chow, I don't know how I offended her.
14:22She came home and tried to kill me.
14:24If my daughter Ava hadn't shielded me, I'd be a pile of ash by now.
14:28She's taken my poor girl hostage.
14:30Ava's in danger.
14:31Lord Chow, please save her.
14:33Don't let her die at her own sister's hands.
14:34So, the one who returned is the true lady of the manor, the late duchess's only daughter.
14:41Is that the point?
14:42She went to study when her father was still alive.
14:44She didn't even come back for his funeral.
14:46How was I supposed to know her?
14:48Go knock on the door.
14:50Yes.
14:53Lord Chow!
14:54Mother!
14:55Lord Chow!
14:56My sister has returned from her studies and is using dark magic to torment our mother and sister.
15:00Ava's been trapped in there for a while.
15:01She's in danger.
15:02Lord Chow, please save her.
15:08Mother, are you alright?
15:10I'm fine.
15:11Quickly, help me inside to see your sister.
15:14Chad, go get your eldest brother.
15:16I already sent someone.
15:17He couldn't even enter the gate.
15:19My brother's men turned him away.
15:21Don't be foolish.
15:21Your sister's return is a big deal.
15:23You must go yourself.
15:24The air may be cold, but he'll still feel some family loyalty at a time like this.
15:28Mia seems to have a terrible temper.
15:30She's like the Grim Reaper.
15:31I'm worried that if I leave, you'll be hurt.
15:33Lord Chow is here.
15:35I doubt she'll act recklessly.
15:36The most important thing now is to rescue Ava.
15:39We can't let her harm her own sister and disgrace our family.
15:43You're right, Mother.
15:44I'll go ask my big brother to come.
15:50Knock on the door.
15:51Yes.
16:05Your features are broad and you carry a strong sense of righteousness.
16:09I can see good fortune upon you.
16:10Might I ask who you are, my lord?
16:11I am the prefect of the capital.
16:13Please spare Ava.
16:16She was only protecting me.
16:18She meant no harm.
16:20If she offends you, I will send her away.
16:23She will never appear before you again.
16:26Just please spare her life.
16:28Look closely.
16:29You are kneeling directly in front of your own daughter.
16:33Every time you bow, you shorten her life.
16:42I received a report there's a false heiress in the Duke's manor.
16:46Noble lineage must not be confused.
16:49I came myself to get to the truth.
16:51Do you have proof of your identity?
16:53Lord Chow, no need to investigate.
16:55She is indeed the late duchess's only daughter.
16:57When the Duke died, the manor was in chaos.
16:59The heir took everything related to the eldest daughter.
17:02It has been over a decade.
17:03When she suddenly returned today, I failed to recognize her.
17:06This was all a misunderstanding.
17:07Please, my lady, calm down.
17:09Lord, she is right.
17:10If her mind weren't so clouded, none of this would have happened.
17:13You admit you were my father's concubine.
17:15He never raised your status.
17:16That makes you a concubine.
17:17In this manner, illegitimate will never be legitimate.
17:20A concubine will never be a wife.
17:21First, you allowed your daughter to overstep her bounds.
17:24Second, you and your servants insulted me.
17:26Multiple offenses unforgivable.
17:28But I have been away for years, and it is my first day back.
17:30I should not punish too harshly.
17:31So I will simply order you and your daughter to kneel and apologize to me.
17:34What's the matter?
17:35Her identity is real.
17:36As a concubine, insulting a legitimate daughter is a crime.
17:39Ordering you to kneel and apologize is already generous.
17:41Be safest.
17:43To hell with that.
17:47Lord Chow, do you recognize this?
17:48The Fierce Tiger, Prince David's military token, combined with the Sea Mountain Jade Seal.
17:51It can command an army of 100,000 soldiers.
17:53This was bestowed by the late emperor and personally given to me by Prince David as a betrothal token with
17:57his heir.
17:57You may ask the prince to verify it.
18:02What?
18:02Are you trying to say the Fierce Tiger in my hand is fake?
18:05Or that I stole this token that commands an army?
18:08My lord, everyone knows the prince's Fierce Tiger has been missing for years.
18:12That doesn't count.
18:13Missing?
18:14I've never heard that.
18:15The marriage between the Duke's eldest daughter and the prince's heir, however, is known throughout the capital.
18:20Such a sacred object cannot be faked.
18:23I believe you.
18:27Lord Chow, now that my identity is confirmed, I believe the manor should hold a welcome banquet for me.
18:32At the banquet, the Duke's manor must publicly clarify my true relationship with Ava.
18:37You are the official of this city.
18:39Today, I ask you to stand up for me.
18:41All right.
18:42Your parents were old acquaintances of mine.
18:44I'll stand up for you.
18:46In three days, the manor will hold a grand welcome banquet.
18:48Understood.
18:49I will send invitations to every noble family in the capital by tomorrow.
18:53Good.
18:53I will come for a cup of wine.
18:55See you.
19:01It was you.
19:02What did you do to me?
19:03What did you do?
19:04What are you talking about?
19:05I don't understand.
19:06I'll tear your face off.
19:07No, madam.
19:08Lord Chow hasn't gone far.
19:09Let's go back.
19:10We can plan our next move.
19:12Victor, come out.
19:13Even if you don't care about Ava, at least see Mia.
19:16She's been gone for 15 years.
19:17Our mother died giving birth to her, but that wasn't her fault.
19:20She's home now.
19:21Won't you even see her?
19:22That's cold.
19:23Young master, stop knocking.
19:24Lord Chow is gone.
19:25Did he arrest anyone?
19:26He took Mia?
19:27He didn't.
19:27Instead, he ordered the madam to throw a banquet for her in three days.
19:31Right now, the moon pavilion is busy moving Ava's things.
19:33Lady Mia is on the roof supervising.
19:34Anyone who slacks gets hit by her paper dolls.
19:36Paper dolls?
19:37Ava grew up there.
19:38She must be heartbroken.
19:39I have to see her.
19:40Young master!
19:47Larry.
19:49Go to the moon pavilion.
19:51If that fool Chad tries to mess with Mia, beat him to death.
19:57My lord, the third young master may be foolish, but he doesn't deserve to die.
20:00Anyone who can't tell family from outsider is a fool.
20:03His very existence is a crime.
20:05Push me back in.
20:06Aren't you going to see Lady Mia today?
20:09No rush.
20:10I'll see her tomorrow.
20:12Forgive us, my lady.
20:13Miss Ava has lived here for 14 years.
20:14Her fine clothes and jewelry alone fill over a dozen chests.
20:16Not to mention paintings, antiques, and rare instruments.
20:18Yeah.
20:19Could you give us a few more days?
20:20No noble lady in the capital could move in just two hours.
20:23I see.
20:23There is a lot.
20:25Fine.
20:25You don't have to move anymore.
20:27You are most wise.
20:32Go on.
20:38Go on.
20:49My lady, what are you doing?
20:51Miss Ava's belongings are all treasures.
20:53If you damage them like this...
20:55What happens if I damage them?
20:57You'll have to pay for them.
20:58Oh.
21:00Then I won't pay a cent.
21:03As a disciple of the Celestial Set, I keep my word.
21:05Since you couldn't move everything in two hours, then forget about it.
21:13Fire!
21:14Fire!
21:14Help!
21:22Chad!
21:23My things are all gone!
21:28Shit.
21:32Mia, do you know what you've done?
21:35Was that on purpose?
21:36Yes, I told you.
21:37Two hours.
21:38If you couldn't move everything out, I'd burn it all.
21:40What's the problem?
21:41You're impossible.
21:42Get down here and apologize to Ava.
21:48Why did you hit me again?
21:50Because you are confused.
21:52Mia!
21:53Stop yelling.
21:54The moon pavilion is mine.
21:55I gave her two hours.
21:56It's her fault for dawdling.
21:58She should have called more people.
21:59I'm not her mother.
22:00I don't have to spoil her.
22:01You're my own brother.
22:02Yet you are siding with an outsider.
22:04Asking me to apologize to her.
22:06Of course I'd hit you.
22:08Still, you didn't have to burn everything.
22:11Get lost.
22:18You've been watching all this time.
22:20The least you can do is come out and thank me.
22:23I am Larry.
22:24The heir sent me to protect you.
22:27Why didn't Victor come out to see me today?
22:29He said he would see you tomorrow.
22:34He said he would see you tomorrow.
22:34Oh no.
22:36Give this protection charm to my brother and tell him that until I see him tomorrow he must
22:41not leave his courtyard.
22:43A deadly fate awaits him.
23:00I didn't even do anything yet.
23:08I didn't even do anything yet.
23:19The heir's people are worse than ghosts.
23:27Good morning, my lady.
23:29The heir sent me to bring you to breakfast.
23:33Where were you last night?
23:35What do you mean?
23:36My grandmaster's little ghost visited Chad's room last night.
23:40You have traces of Echo on you.
23:41Did you also go and teach him a lesson?
23:44My lady.
23:45The heir is waiting for you.
23:47Wait for me.
23:48A deadly fate awaits him.
23:50Ordinary charms can't fend it off.
23:52I just made a powerful blood charm using my own essence and cinnabar.
23:56I'll take it to him now.
23:57He must carry it.
24:14So you're my big brother.
24:16Your spirit is unstable.
24:17You shouldn't touch this.
24:22It's special to me.
24:23I can't give it up.
24:25You just survived a deathly fate yesterday.
24:28Did someone hurt you?
24:30It's fine now.
24:32They missed their best chance.
24:34They won't get another.
24:41I know medicine.
24:43Let me take your pulse.
24:44I know my own body.
24:48Keep this on you.
24:49Never take it off.
24:53What?
24:53Afraid I'll hurt you?
24:55I really have no use for this.
25:02Mia.
25:04Give me back the bead.
25:08Now.
25:09My lord.
25:10My lady.
25:11Breakfast is ready.
25:12My lady.
25:12The heir has a light appetite.
25:13He usually only eats porridge.
25:15Today, he specifically sent me to pick up these dishes from a restaurant.
25:18Please try them.
25:24Well, the carriage is ready.
25:27The money, clothes, and your dowry are inside.
25:31I'll have Larry take you directly to Prince David's manor later.
25:35What?
25:35What do you mean?
25:36Your wedding is only two weeks away.
25:38Going now just means moving in a little earlier.
25:41I'll write to the princess.
25:43She won't mind.
25:45You're kicking me out?
25:48So you think my coming back has hurt Ava as well?
25:51So you think my coming back has hurt Ava as well?
25:54Whether you admit it or not, for over a decade, she has been the lady of this manor in everyone's
25:59eyes.
26:00And you?
26:00You didn't exist.
26:02So even though I told you I was coming back, you deliberately hid it from the rest of
26:08the family?
26:09Yes.
26:09You knew I grew up on Celestial Mountain and didn't know noble customs.
26:13You hid the info because you wanted me to look foolish.
26:16You wanted everyone to think I was unreasonable, not as good as Ava.
26:20Mia, stop.
26:21She grew up here, adored by everyone, in their hearts.
26:24She is the true lady.
26:26You only have your legitimate status.
26:28To them, you truly are less than her.
26:30So you've made your point.
26:31You've destroyed the moon pavilion.
26:32Her false identity is exposed.
26:34Your anger should be gone by now.
26:36Now is the perfect time to go to Prince David's manor.
26:38My lady, the carriage is ready.
26:40It's time to leave.
26:45If I hadn't come down the mountain, what would have happened to my engagement with the
26:49heir?
26:49Ava would have married him in your place.
26:51She doesn't have the fierce tiger.
26:53Dream on.
26:54This is my home.
26:55You welcome me or not, it's still my home.
26:58No one takes what's mine.
27:01Wait.
27:03This is the identity token of the Smith family's direct line.
27:06If you agree to leave the manor right after the banquet, I'll give it to you.
27:10Otherwise, when you can't show it at the banquet, everyone will treat you like a fraud.
27:14I thought you were different from Chad.
27:17You're all the same.
27:20But I'm stubborn.
27:22What's mine is mine.
27:24I won't give up a thing.
27:25I want the banquet and I'm taking the token.
27:28Ava can forget about it.
27:30My lady, the heir doesn't know how to sweet talk you, but he actually...
27:34Larry, stop.
27:35She's lived a hard life in the mountains.
27:37Now she sees the wealth of this manor.
27:38Of course, she doesn't want to leave.
27:40If she won't leave gracefully, then let her be.
27:42At the banquet, she'll only embarrass herself.
27:51Screw you.
28:03Mia, the dark energy in the bamboo courtyard is coming from the main room.
28:07I can't get in.
28:08Also, in the most remote room in the southwest corner, I found enough black powder to blow up half the
28:12capital.
28:13Did you look at the dowry Victor prepared for me?
28:15What's in it?
28:16I saw it.
28:16Gold and jewels, mostly.
28:17Only one small chest of daily supplies, worth roughly 50,000 tails of gold.
28:22The identity token?
28:24Echo.
28:26No one in this manor wanted me back.
28:29Maybe I should never have come back.
28:31Don't talk nonsense.
28:32You're the heir of Celestial Set.
28:34Your presence here is their honor.
28:36If they don't welcome you, then beat them into submission.
28:39That's right.
28:40My master said that dignity is one at the edge of a sword, and truth exists within range of your
28:44magic.
28:45Why am I wasting time on this?
28:50Let's go.
28:52Let's give them something to talk about.
28:58Madam, something terrible has happened.
29:01Lady Mia is forcing us to open the storeroom.
29:03When we refused, she broke the door down.
29:05She's having her paper dolls carry everything out.
29:08What?
29:08How dare that wretch do such a thing?
29:14You fool.
29:15Can't you see my eyebrows are uneven?
29:17Get over here and fix my makeup.
29:34Mia, do you know you're acting like a thief?
29:38Stop those paper dolls.
29:51No, Mia.
29:52Calm down.
29:53Don't snap your fingers.
29:55What do you want?
29:56Come down and tell me.
29:57I'll have it packed and sent to your courtyard.
29:59Please?
30:00Please?
30:05Mia, most of these things were meant to be Ava's dowry.
30:08Taking your sister's dowry for yourself would ruin your reputation.
30:17Why did you hit me?
30:19Hmm.
30:19You're a concubine.
30:21How dare you address me by name?
30:22You deserve it.
30:24You are outrageously arrogant.
30:26Give back Ava's things.
30:28I'll buy you new ones.
30:36Blah, blah.
30:37Blah.
30:37Blah.
30:37Blah.
30:38Blah.
30:39Blah.
30:39Blah.
30:40Blah.
30:40Blah.
30:41Blah.
30:43Blah.
30:43Blah.
30:43Blah.
30:44Blah.
30:44Blah.
30:48Blah.
30:50Blah.
30:50Blah.
30:51Blah.
30:52Blah.
30:52Blah.
30:53Blah.
30:53Blah.
30:54Dr. Lee, please look at my mother.
30:56She was struck by lightning yesterday, and today she's collapsed.
31:00Cough.
31:01Sister, you know medicine.
31:04Please help her.
31:06Gasp.
31:07She got sick so fast.
31:09Her face is so pale.
31:10This could be a deadly plague.
31:11She might be dying.
31:13I don't want to catch it.
31:14I'm leaving.
31:15Sister, you managed to wake me up so quickly yesterday.
31:18I know you can help her.
31:20Are you insane?
31:21I woke you up because you were faking it.
31:23I pressed a pain point and you couldn't keep pretending.
31:26That's not medicine.
31:28This is absurd.
31:29This woman is quite healthy.
31:30Her only illness is her acting.
31:32Since you prefer fake fainting spells, my skills are useless.
31:35Goodbye.
31:36Sir, it's not like that.
31:38She really was struck by lightning.
31:40Sister, I know you resent us, but take it out on me.
31:43Will you only be satisfied when mother and I drop dead right in front of you?
31:47Did the celestial sect teach you magic just to curse my mother like this?
31:57Celestial sect?
31:59You're with the celestial sect?
32:06I'd like to use this celestial sect protection charm and ask you to tell me when I'll die.
32:14I'm 75, running out of energy.
32:16I haven't found anyone to pass my medical knowledge to.
32:19It worries me.
32:19Please give me some guidance so I can make arrangements and not take my skills to the grave.
32:24Mr. Lee, my sister just came home.
32:27Talking about death is unlucky.
32:28I once had a monk bless me, and I've studied this for years.
32:30Let me read your poem instead.
32:32That's right.
32:33Ava's abilities are no less than Mia's.
32:35I didn't realize.
32:36Not only did you steal my fate, but you're even copying my experiences.
32:40Too bad this is the celestial sect's doing.
32:42You can't take it from me.
32:44The rules of the sect forbid me to predict the death of a virtuous person.
32:48I can't help you.
32:50But I can tell you that the right person is close by.
32:53Take some time.
32:54Watch the people near you.
32:55You'll find what you're looking for.
32:57Thank you for your guidance.
32:59I understand.
33:04She didn't even ask for their contacts before taking them to the moon pavilion.
33:07No manners at all.
33:07They're just day laborers.
33:09Perfect.
33:09Let them spread the word that she's a sorceress.
33:12To keep her from causing trouble at the banquet, let's make her place haunted tonight.
33:24Release the paper dolls!
33:31Don't hit my face!
33:33Help!
33:36My lady, spare us!
33:37We were just sent in to mess around.
33:39We haven't done anything!
33:44Let me go!
33:45It was Ava who sent me!
33:47I'll tell you everything!
33:48Just let me go!
33:49I don't care who sent you!
33:50She's chanting an exorcism spell!
33:52You're about to be destroyed!
33:54You did terrible things in life!
33:56In death you've become even worse!
33:58You filthy creature!
33:59How dare you ask for mercy!
34:00You deserve to die!
34:26Why not interrogate it before killing it?
34:28Ghost slaves can't reveal their master's secrets.
34:30Killing them outright not only hurts the master through backlash, but also gets rid of them for good!
34:35They were almost certainly sent by Ava!
34:37What does she want?
34:38To ruin my reputation!
34:40To use me as a cautionary tale!
34:41She wants the whole capital to think I'm a sorceress, so she can take my place!
34:46She wants the prince's heir to marry her willingly!
34:49You wanna marry that heir?
34:52You kidding?
34:53Who would want some trash like that?
34:56But it's not up to a fake like her to decide who I marry!
35:01That girl from the countryside made the lady who runs the manor sick curse Dr. Lee to die early!
35:05No manners at all!
35:06Lady Ava is the true heavenly maiden!
35:08That wild girl's claiming to be from the celestial sect!
35:11She's just a cheap imitation!
35:12We're going to submit a petition against her!
35:14She should kneel and apologize at the-
35:19My lady!
35:20We went to buy your banquet clothes!
35:22But everyone is saying you've been buying luxury goods on credit and charging them all to Lady Ava!
35:26We were afraid it was a trap so we didn't buy anything!
35:28What should we do?
35:29My lady!
35:30Here's what I found!
35:31When Ava was five she got lucky and saved a failed scholar!
35:34They started calling her a goddess!
35:35Now scholars all over the capital worship her!
35:37Hear that echo?
35:39Scholars are protected by the star of literature!
35:41She's using their faith to destroy me!
35:43To bury my reputation for good!
35:45She's not just stealing your fortune!
35:47She's trying to replace your entire fate!
35:49Steal my fate?
35:52Let's see if she can handle it!
35:54Girls, if someone wants to set a trap for us, then let's not go shopping!
35:58Let's go home and watch the show!
36:00Why isn't she playing along?
36:02She didn't buy anything!
36:03That means the rumors we spread about her spending recklessly and forcing credit are useless!
36:07If she won't buy, then we'll do the shopping for her!
36:11The manor's people ran up the bill in her name!
36:14Who wouldn't believe it?
36:15Mother, go to the storehouse!
36:17Pick out the tackiest, cheapest clothes!
36:19Send them to her as if she bought them on credit!
36:21Tomorrow is the banquet!
36:22I want her to show up in rags!
36:24Drowning in debt and slander!
36:26And be ground into the dirt in front of the entire capital!
36:29Forever!
36:36Mia!
36:37Tomorrow is your banquet!
36:41I came with good intentions!
36:45It's going to rain tomorrow!
36:47You gave me a dress thin as air!
36:48Do you want me to freeze to death at my own party?
36:50A skirt that light?
36:52Paired with such heavy old-fashioned gold and ruby jewelry?
36:55You have no taste?
36:56Or do you want the whole capital to think I'm just some tacky hillbilly?
37:03How could you...
37:05...misunderstand me like this?
37:07If you don't want it, just throw it away!
37:12Close now!
37:20Ghost!
37:21Stay away!
37:22Ah!
37:23Help!
37:24Madam!
37:25Madam!
37:25What's wrong?
37:27My lady!
37:28The madam went crazy because of you!
37:31You're responsible!
37:32You wretch!
37:34Die!
37:35You wretch!
37:46Die!
37:51Goat!
38:00Mia!
38:01This must be a misunderstanding!
38:02Listen to me!
38:03Let mother go!
38:04I'll fix the moon pavilion for you!
38:06Do me a favor, okay?
38:09Ah!
38:11My own mother left me the moon pavilion?
38:13You're a fool!
38:14You think you mean more to me than my own mother?
38:17If the manor won't report this, I'll take the arsonist to court myself!
38:22Mia!
38:23Let her go!
38:25She's the madam of this manor!
38:27She's your elder!
38:29Please trust me!
38:30Trust me one more time!
38:32Please!
38:33You're going to protect her, aren't you?
38:36Yes!
38:46Don't cry, you have me!
38:48Celestial Mountain will always be your home!
38:50I'm not crying, I just didn't think!
38:53He'd be the same as all the other fools!
38:56Now that I know he's no different, I have no reason to hold back tomorrow!
39:01At the banquet!
39:03Whatever comes, I'll crush it!
39:14Kneel down!
39:16Apologize!
39:19Brother, I was wrong!
39:21Between your true sister and a half-sister, you chose the half-sister!
39:24Between your birth mother and a concubine, you chose the concubine!
39:27I knew you were a fool, Chad!
39:28But I didn't know you were this stupid!
39:30Go kneel before our parents' tablets!
39:31You're not invited to Mia's banquet tomorrow!
39:33Get out!
39:37Did you take the poison?
39:41Ava, I can fake being sick really well!
39:46She knows medicine!
39:48Faking won't work!
39:50Take it!
40:05Hi, my lady!
40:07Off the mountain without a word?
40:09You caught me off guard!
40:11If not for our deep resources!
40:15My auction house never could have put together this entire premium look for you overnight!
40:23You naughty fox!
40:24Quit groping me!
40:25Give it here!
40:26I'll change!
40:28I'm not upset!
40:29Not at all!
40:31It's just my mother is still sick in bed!
40:34True!
40:34Lady Ava is so kind-hearted!
40:36That mountain girl made the madam sick!
40:38And now she's even late for the banquet!
40:39Exactly!
40:40Lady Ava has been treated so unfairly!
40:51Victor, it's time!
40:53Where is your sister?
40:55I'm afraid she's too scared to come out!
40:58If you're worried she won't make it, why don't you send someone to invite her?
41:07Mia Smith!
41:08The legitimate daughter of the Duke's Manor has arrived!
41:24She's wearing the moonlight crown!
41:25The auction house's prized treasure!
41:27The emperor himself once offered a fortune for it as a gift for the empress and was refused!
41:32It's priceless!
41:36The auction house announced that the crown would never be sold!
41:39How is this possible?
41:40Mia!
41:41Even if you didn't like the clothes I chose for you, you shouldn't have brought a fake!
41:45Please forgive her!
41:46Lady Mia grew up in the mountains!
41:48Someone must have tricked her!
41:50Please don't repeat this outside!
41:55Madam Lane, if word gets out, how will Mia survive?
41:59Clan leader, you are right!
42:00But last night I...
42:04Uncle, here's the thing!
42:05My mother was sick, but she still prepared clothes for Mia!
42:08Mia not only refused them, she tied my mother up last night!
42:11If I hadn't arrived in time, she would have killed her!
42:18Mia...
42:19Is this true?
42:21You said you arrived just in time!
42:24Does that mean you ran into the courtyard ready to stab me?
42:27I was stopping you from killing mother!
42:28Don't twist the truth!
42:29Oh, so that's why I was able to disarm you with one hand!
42:32Shut up!
42:33Oh my!
42:34The fifth young master is a martial genius!
42:36Enough!
42:37Our family shouldn't bicker!
42:39Mia!
42:40Wearing a fake crown is disrespectful!
42:42Listen to me!
42:43Take it off!
42:44And destroy it!
42:46Everyone will forgive you!
42:47What do you mean, Uncle?
42:48Just because someone says it's fake, does that make it so?
42:51Sister!
42:52Uncle is just trying to help!
42:54We would never hurt you!
42:55You wouldn't?
42:56I didn't like the clothes Madame Lane picked for me!
42:59It's cold and rainy today!
43:01She gave me a dress thin as air!
43:03Trying to freeze me?
43:05Light, gauzy fabric paired with heavy, old-fashioned gold and ruby jewels!
43:09Either she has no taste, or she wanted the whole city to think I'm tacky!
43:13So she was deliberately humiliating you!
43:15Last night, I simply said they didn't match!
43:16And she got so angry, she set fire to the corridor of the Moon Pavilion!
43:19A concubine insulting an heiress like that!
43:21I didn't kill her!
43:21I tied her up and brought her before my big brother!
43:24Was that wrong?
43:24And you, rushing in with a sword to kill me?
43:27As a son of a concubine, do you realize that's a serious crime?
43:29I've been gone for over a decade!
43:31I didn't know that as a legitimate daughter, I have to endure a concubine's insult and an illegitimate son's disrespect!
43:36If the capital's rules are this unreasonable, then cancel the banquet!
43:41I want nothing to do with this household!
43:44That's right!
43:44Madame Lane was only named a noble concubine, and heiress punishing a concubine is perfectly reasonable!
43:49Mia!
43:49I know you don't like me running the household, but that was the clan's decision!
43:52You struck me with lightning the moment you returned!
43:54And now you say I have the plague!
43:55I didn't mean to burn the Moon Pavilion!
43:57I was terrified by the evil spirits you summoned!
43:59You've thrown this house into chaos!
44:02Your brothers are protecting me because I've been making concessions!
44:06Sister, you grew up in the mountains, you don't know what it's like to have a family!
44:10Now that you're home, take the time to learn, please!
44:13Are you saying Lane is the madam of this manor?
44:17That she's the Duchess?
44:21Uncle, I want to see the family records!
44:24Is she a concubine or a wife?
44:26This is absurd!
44:27A junior doesn't get to see the family records!
44:29You refuse?
44:30So the records list her as a wife!
44:32Did my dead father know about this?
44:35Does the Ministry of Rights know?
44:37Mia!
44:38This is your banquet!
44:39If you don't want to come home, then leave!
44:41The smiths don't need a rebel like you!
44:43If you don't want to come home, then leave!
44:45The smiths don't need a rebel like you!
44:48Fine!
44:48The clan leader has admitted to colluding with the concubine Lane
44:52to take over the Duke's title and property
44:54and to drive me out of the manor!
44:57Prince David!
44:59Prefect Chow!
45:00Minister Jones!
45:01Please stand up for me!
45:03Mia!
45:04Stop talking nonsense!
45:05That's enough!
45:06Uncle, Madam Lane is a noble concubine.
45:08She's worked hard running this manor.
45:10We can't blame her entirely.
45:11That's right!
45:12The records show she is a noble concubine!
45:14Darn it!
45:14He used me!
45:15He wants to regain control of the manor without alienating Ava!
45:18So he's using me as his weapon!
45:20He's the real villain!
45:21So you mean Lane did nothing wrong?
45:23It's all my fault?
45:25Mia!
45:25You're about to marry into the prince's household!
45:28What do you think should be done with Lane?
45:30You want my opinion?
45:31Fine!
45:32If she's wrong, then she dies!
45:34No more talk!
45:34She has to die!
45:35As for the manor, the heir isn't married and isn't well!
45:38So he can't manage it himself!
45:39Let concubine ward run it instead!
45:41Let concubine ward run it instead!
45:43She keeps to herself!
45:44She might not be up to it!
45:45Besides, Lane has worked hard!
45:47Executing her feels too harsh!
45:48Mia!
45:49I'm glad you care about me!
45:50But I've recovered over the years!
45:52I can manage the manor myself!
45:54Then stand up and walk!
45:56Larry, help me!
45:57I mean, stand up on your own and walk!
46:05See?
46:06You can't even stand!
46:08Are you going to have people carry you everywhere to inspect the shops?
46:14Look at concubine Jones!
46:16She's been a good concubine for years!
46:19She doesn't seem greedy!
46:21Lady Jones, would you manage the manor for a few years?
46:24If you're worried about Lane's people causing trouble, don't be!
46:28She committed a capital offense today!
46:30She won't live through the day!
46:34Lady Lane, what are you waiting for?
46:36You promised to explain our identities to everyone at the banquet!
46:41Are you backing out?
46:44Sister, I'm sorry!
46:46Today, I solemnly state that the real heiress of the manor is Mia!
46:51I am only a concubine's child!
46:55I'm satisfied!
47:02My lady!
47:03We've admitted we were wrong!
47:05Please, stop this and spare my mother!
47:09She can kill from a distance?
47:11I heard her curse Dr. Lee to death and his clinic has been closed for days!
47:15She's not a mountain girl!
47:16She's a sorceress who uses dark magic!
47:20Move aside!
47:21Such cruelty!
47:22To make me look like a sorceress,
47:24she used a ghost insect to poison her own mother in front of everyone!
47:27Sister!
47:28What did you do to my mother?
47:29I see!
47:30You pushed me into a corner just for this moment!
47:33With so many people here, let me show you something!
47:38Hm!
47:39Same trick again!
47:40She wants to be sick so badly!
47:42I'll prescribe something strong later!
47:44Dr. Lee!
47:44You're not sick from her curse?
47:46Nonsense!
47:47My clinic was closed because Lady Smith helped me find a student to carry on my work!
47:53I'm not sick!
47:55I owe her a great debt!
47:57This woman faked being sick to frame her before!
48:00She's doing it again!
48:04No!
48:04My mother is truly unwell!
48:10I, Sarah, manager of the auction house, hereby greet you, my lady!
48:14The auction house belongs to Lady Mia, the heir of the celestial sect!
48:17The moonlight crown is her personal property!
48:21As for the rumors of debt...
48:23Ridiculous!
48:25Lady Mia is wealthier than anyone!
48:27Every shop in the capital begs her to spend money!
48:37Oh my!
48:38Turns out they are both being unfaithful!
48:40My lady, if your father could see this from beyond, his coffin lid wouldn't hold!
48:52Mia, this must be a misunderstanding!
48:54Listen to me!
48:55Let mother go!
48:56I'll fix the moon pavilion for you!
48:58Do me a favor, okay?
49:03My own mother left me the moon pavilion?
49:05You're a fool!
49:06You think you mean more to me than my own mother?
49:10If the manor won't report this, I'll take the arsonist to court myself!
49:15Mia, let her go!
49:17She's the madam of this manor, she's your elder!
49:21Please trust me, trust me one more time, please!
49:25You're going to protect her, aren't you?
49:28Yes!
49:38Don't cry, you have me!
49:40Celestial Mountain will always be your home!
49:42I'm not crying, I just didn't think!
49:45He'd be the same as all the other fools!
49:48Now that I know he's no different, I have no reason to hold back tomorrow!
49:53At the banquet!
49:55Whatever comes, I'll crush it!
50:06Lord Reed, I want to marry Noah!
50:08Not only that, but my master said before he passed, that you and the princess are virtuous people!
50:14The Celestial Sect will ensure his life!
50:17As long as I'm here, I won't let anything happen to him!
50:20Very well!
50:23Mia, with that promise, I will give you everything!
50:28After the banquet, I'll go to the palace and ask the Emperor to name you a princess!
50:33You shall be known as the Princess of Divinity!
50:35You'll marry my son with that title, which is even higher than the heir's wife!
50:40Then no one will dare question your place in this city!
50:44Thank you, Lord Reed.
50:47Rise!
50:48My lady, bring our son here to meet his future wife!
50:59Oh?
51:00Lady Mia!
51:00You can't take your eyes off him!
51:02Are you taken by his looks?
51:04What are you saying?
51:05I mean, he has a natural purple aura!
51:08Being near him will double my cultivation speed!
51:11Looks like I struck gold!
51:12Yeah!
51:13My name is your friend and my daughter, don't I?
