00:00:00Clara Shaw of the Miller family has shown exceptional virtue, diligence and grace.
00:00:04She is hereby granted the title of Grand Dame.
00:00:06I humbly accept this great honor.
00:00:09Lady Miller, accept the Imperial Edict.
00:00:19Murder! Somebody help!
00:00:22Help!
00:00:32Erika...
00:00:33Why?
00:00:34Don't call my name! You're not worthy!
00:00:38I...
00:00:39We're both daughters of the Shaw family! Why shouldn't you have a better life than I do?
00:00:43If only three years ago the one who caught my rhino ball had been ammo!
00:00:46This wonderful life you covet is actually a total lie.
00:00:50Clara Shaw, go straight to hell!
00:01:01If I were given another chance, I would give up all this honor.
00:01:08Look at the time! Why are you still fast asleep?
00:01:10Honestly, Victor, all those wealthy lords heard our girls are choosing husbands and they've rushed over to catch the balls!
00:01:16But look, she's still sleeping! She has absolutely no manners at all!
00:01:19Let me tell you, when you and Erika throw your balls, you better pick carefully!
00:01:23Whoever marries best will be the bride of this family! Don't you disappoint me!
00:01:29Wasn't I just stabbed by a sword?
00:01:38I've been reborn! Back to three years ago!
00:01:41The exact date we choose our husbands!
00:01:44My lady, it's your turn to toss the ball!
00:01:50Erika Shaw...
00:01:51Clara...
00:01:52Let me throw mine first!
00:01:53In my past life, Erika tried everything to make me throw first, backing out every time!
00:01:58But now...
00:01:59It seems Erika was reborn too!
00:02:02Fine!
00:02:02You can go first!
00:02:04Over here! Toss it over here!
00:02:06Give it to me! Give it to me!
00:02:08Over here!
00:02:08Right here! Give it to me!
00:02:09Please!
00:02:10Get out of my way! All of you get out of my way!
00:02:17In this life, the one marrying Amos will only be me!
00:02:23Give it to me! Give it to me!
00:02:25Give it to me! Give it to me!
00:02:26Give it to me!
00:02:27Look, Victor! The man who caught it is the Miller family's second son!
00:02:31It's him! It really is Lord Amos!
00:02:33The Millers are royal relatives! His older brother Henry was just made Deputy Chief Justice!
00:02:38If the Shaw family allies with the Millers, we'll be tied to royalty too!
00:02:43Amos Miller...
00:02:44In this lifetime, I have finally changed my destiny!
00:02:47In three years, Amos Miller will be promoted, and I will become a noble Grand Dame!
00:02:52Oh, Erika Shaw, Erika Shaw...
00:02:53You schemed and plotted, completely unaware you just walked right into a wolf's den!
00:03:00Excellent! Excellent! Erika, you truly are the daughter I raised! You've made our family proud!
00:03:04You flatter me, Father! I'm only doing this for the good of our family!
00:03:07Once I become Lady Miller, I will always conduct myself with care and bring prosperity to our family!
00:03:13Clara, wouldn't you agree?
00:03:16You're quite fortunate. Of course I'm happy for you!
00:03:18Clara Shaw, your good fortune is now mine! In this life, I will never let you outshadow me again!
00:03:27Erika, look! It's Lord Amos! He can't take his eyes off you!
00:03:38Wait, isn't that...
00:03:41Your Majesty?
00:03:43Master, if the Empress Dowager fights out, you'll let the palace dress like this!
00:03:46Mother forces me to pick concubines daily, so I came out here for some peace.
00:03:49I'll take this chance to experience the lives of ordinary people.
00:03:52You always care for the people, but these clothes...
00:03:55These clothes may be torn, but they help me blend in.
00:03:57Do you really expect me to wear my robes while strolling the streets?
00:04:07Are you alright, Master? Watch where you're going, you filthy beggar!
00:04:10Hurry!
00:04:10Squireshaw's daughters are tossing balls for husbands. We'll miss it if we're late!
00:04:13For husbands?
00:04:14Let's go! Let's go have a look!
00:04:15In my past life, a filthy beggar caught my bridle ball, making me suffer terribly after I fled.
00:04:20Perfect!
00:04:20Now I'll let you taste the pain of being abandoned by family.
00:04:25Go on, do exactly as I said.
00:04:26Yes, Lady Erika.
00:04:27What are they up to?
00:04:28Now that our family has secured ties with the Millers, Clara's choice of husband cannot be any lesser.
00:04:35Mother, what are you saying? Clara has always been lucky, so she'd never embarrass father.
00:04:40If you ask me, Clara will soon end up picking the absolute best husband.
00:04:43Clara, now that your sister's marriage is settled, we've secured a man of power.
00:04:48We need to pick a man of wealth to truly be worthy of being my daughter.
00:04:54My lady, it's your turn.
00:04:55Political schemes and endless wealth are ultimately just passing clouds.
00:04:59In this life, I only wish to find a good man and live a peaceful life.
00:05:03Lady Clara, throw it to me!
00:05:05Lady Clara, throw it to me!
00:05:07Oh!
00:05:08Hey, get it!
00:05:08Get the box!
00:05:09Oh!
00:05:12It's my!
00:05:13Hey!
00:05:21It's him!
00:05:22In my past life, he was the exact one who caught Erika's bridal ball!
00:05:25Oh dear.
00:05:27How could the bridle ball end up with a beggar?
00:05:29Clara, what terrible luck.
00:05:31Of all people, you picked a beggar.
00:05:32You must have really angered the gods.
00:05:34How will father ever show his face?
00:05:36You useless girl.
00:05:38With a crowd there, you threw it to a beggar.
00:05:40Now all Kingston is laughing at us.
00:05:42Are you trying to humiliate me?
00:05:44Victor, at least our Erica did us proud by securing the Miller family.
00:05:48Otherwise, we would be utterly disgraced today, unable to ever hold our heads high again.
00:05:53What's done is done.
00:05:54Clara, don't be too upset.
00:05:55He may be a lowly beggar, but at least he's not bad looking.
00:05:58I just feel sorry for you.
00:06:00Raised in luxury your whole life, and now you actually have to marry a beggar.
00:06:03A woman's marriage is the most important path in her entire life.
00:06:07You chose a beggar.
00:06:09From now on, you'll be living on the streets.
00:06:11We cannot help you.
00:06:12Well, well.
00:06:13Now this is a show.
00:06:14Will the noble girl actually marry a beggar?
00:06:17Everyone's watching.
00:06:17If she refuses the marriage, her family will break their promise.
00:06:20Who dares associate with them after that?
00:06:22Exactly.
00:06:22Let's see how they handle this.
00:06:24Hey, where are you going?
00:06:25Stop her.
00:06:26Don't let her get away.
00:06:27Master, I finally found you.
00:06:31For heaven's sake.
00:06:32Why is the bridal ball in your hands?
00:06:34Why don't you just throw it away?
00:06:36Once we're outside the palace, we're just common folk.
00:06:40We can't go against local customs.
00:06:42Besides, look at my filthy rags.
00:06:44Why would she ever marry a guy like me?
00:06:59I...
00:06:59Clara, in such a hurry to see your wonderful groom, you're the one who threw the ball, and you're the
00:07:05one who chose him.
00:07:07Don't tell me you regret it now.
00:07:08You wretched girl!
00:07:10Look at that filthy beggar you attracted!
00:07:11If he really becomes my son of a...
00:07:13You'll be dragging our entire family's honor through the mud!
00:07:15In my past life, my life at Miller Manor was unbearable.
00:07:18I was reduced to being a pawn in the Shah's quest for power.
00:07:20Thinking about it now, I'd rather marry a beggar and live a peaceful life.
00:07:23The rule of the bridal ball is that the first catch is final, even if you refuse to marry him.
00:07:27I'm willing to marry him!
00:07:29I'm willing to marry him!
00:07:35What are you kidding me, sir?
00:07:36How did that happen?
00:07:38I'm Clara Shaw.
00:07:40What's your name?
00:07:41I...
00:07:42I'm Luke.
00:07:46Today, with all of you as my witnesses, I, Clara Shaw, will marry Luke.
00:07:52Wow.
00:07:52Whoa.
00:07:54Oh.
00:07:56You really want to marry me?
00:07:57Of course.
00:07:59Since you caught my bridal ball, are you trying to back out now?
00:08:03No, it's not that.
00:08:04It's just that I have nothing.
00:08:06Marrying me means facing a hard life and going hungry.
00:08:08You still want this?
00:08:10We both have working hands, so we can build whatever we need ourselves.
00:08:12If we work hard, fund some work, making a decent living, won't be a problem.
00:08:16Palace people will do any evil for self-gain.
00:08:18I've never met someone so easily pleased.
00:08:20A filthy beggar, and she's treating him like a prize.
00:08:24Oh, Clara.
00:08:25You need to think this through.
00:08:26Marrying a beggar is throwing your future away.
00:08:29A good future isn't built on status.
00:08:31It's built on character and integrity.
00:08:34Luke may be poorly dressed, but he seems kind and well-mannered.
00:08:38He could be a good match.
00:08:40The rules of the match are already set.
00:08:42Even if the squire wants to go back now, it's too late.
00:08:46Exactly.
00:08:47If he breaks the deal, it violates our traditions and ruins the Shaw family's reputation.
00:08:54Since you've made up your mind, don't come blaming this family later.
00:08:57Any future glory we achieve will have nothing to do with you.
00:09:01I understand, Father.
00:09:03All right, everyone.
00:09:04Break it up.
00:09:04Always have to watch the drama.
00:09:06Honestly.
00:09:07Well, the show's over.
00:09:08Time to go home.
00:09:10Lord Amos.
00:09:11Lord Amos, please wait.
00:09:13Lord Amos, please come inside the manor to discuss the wedding.
00:09:19Let's go.
00:09:20This way, please.
00:09:22Clara, don't say I didn't warn you.
00:09:25By marrying that beggar for the rest of your life, you'll always be beneath me.
00:09:30You should worry more about yourself.
00:09:32Life in the Miller Manor won't be nearly as pleasant as you imagine.
00:09:43You...
00:09:43Excuse me, excuse me!
00:09:45Whoa!
00:10:00Oh my goodness!
00:10:02Are you all right?
00:10:04Are you hurt?
00:10:05I'm fine.
00:10:06See, I'm perfectly fine.
00:10:08I'm so sorry.
00:10:08I'm so sorry.
00:10:09It was an accident.
00:10:10Just be more careful next time.
00:10:12Okay, I will.
00:10:12Marrying such a kind and honest man is truly my greatest blessing.
00:10:16In three days, come to the Shaw Manor for our wedding.
00:10:19Turning to the palace means being forced to choose concubines instead of that.
00:10:23All right.
00:10:24I'll definitely be there.
00:10:29Lady Erika weds today.
00:10:33Her dowry includes a pair of jeweled gold hairpins, an ocean pearl diadem, a pair of jade bracelets,
00:10:4420 rolls of premium silk, and three deeds to eastern estates.
00:10:51Lady Erika's dowry is worth a fortune, but Lady Clara gets nothing.
00:10:56They're both Shaw daughters, but the difference is massive.
00:10:59Haven't you heard?
00:10:59Lady Erika is marrying the second son of the Miller family, while Lady Clara is marrying some beggar.
00:11:04Of course they're treated differently.
00:11:05Oh, so embarrassing.
00:11:06If you really marry that beggar, your life will be full of hardship.
00:11:09I wonder if you can even handle it.
00:11:11The groom is here.
00:11:15He's truly a son of the Millers.
00:11:17What a grand entrance.
00:11:18The Miller family is incredibly powerful.
00:11:21Erika will enjoy endless blessings after marrying him.
00:11:24But Lady Clara marries a beggar.
00:11:26Her future will be a joke.
00:11:27He's here.
00:11:28He's here.
00:11:34My respects, father, mother.
00:11:38Amos, there's no need for formalities.
00:11:40Amos, this wedding procession of yours is a rare sight in Kingston.
00:11:43To have you honor Erika like this is a privilege for our family.
00:11:48Word Amos has arrived, but where's the other groom?
00:11:50If I were him, I would crawl into a hole and never show my face.
00:11:53Clara, the auspicious hour is passing.
00:11:56Your husband isn't here yet.
00:11:58Did he abandon you?
00:12:00He's here.
00:12:01He's here.
00:12:02The groom has arrived.
00:12:07You're finally here.
00:12:09I will do what I promised.
00:12:15My royal, uh, my apologies.
00:12:22I'm late.
00:12:22What in the world are you wearing?
00:12:24In front of all these noble guests?
00:12:25You are completely humiliating me.
00:12:27Today is supposed to be a wedding day, yet this filthy beggar wears these rags to marry a bride.
00:12:31Clara truly has no sense of shame.
00:12:33Marriage is a lifelong commitment.
00:12:35It's about true love, not appearances.
00:12:37The man I, Clara Shaw, chose will never be shaken by idle gossip.
00:12:40Haven't you embarrassed us enough?
00:12:42Victor, don't be angry.
00:12:43Once Clara leaves this door, she is no longer a Shaw.
00:12:45The auspicious hour has arrived.
00:12:48Bring up the bride!
00:12:53Minister Voss has arrived!
00:12:58Your...
00:12:59Shut your mouth if you want to live.
00:13:01What an honor, Minister Voss.
00:13:03Forgive my lack of proper welcome.
00:13:05Heaven truly does reward the faithful.
00:13:08Squire, congratulations.
00:13:11This way, Minister Voss.
00:13:14No, after you.
00:13:15The groom comes first.
00:13:16Please, go ahead.
00:13:20Don't tell me you walked here.
00:13:22On a wedding day, a bride has never walked to her new home before.
00:13:25Well, today is certainly a first.
00:13:29Tell me about it.
00:13:30Unlike my husband.
00:13:39My dear, let's go home.
00:14:01Clara Shaw, just wait until I'm the Grand Dame.
00:14:04You'll be sorry then.
00:14:17So this is where you live?
00:14:20Yeah.
00:14:32This is the place you found for me?
00:14:34But Master, you said it had to match your current identity.
00:14:37This place is a dump.
00:14:38How can anyone live here?
00:14:40I was just worried you'd blow your cover.
00:14:46I know this place is beneath you.
00:14:48I'm so sorry to wrong you like this.
00:14:50Let's just...
00:14:50Let's just give it a good clean.
00:14:52It is actually quite spacious here.
00:14:54So it will definitely be comfortable.
00:14:55From now on, this will be our home.
00:14:57Home?
00:14:58Our home.
00:15:00This lady Clara is so virtuous and gentle.
00:15:02She's a million times better than all those ladies mother picked out for me.
00:15:07Clara.
00:15:10I don't have much to offer you right now.
00:15:13This jade pendant was left to me by my father.
00:15:16Now I want you to have it.
00:15:19You are giving me something so precious?
00:15:29The emperor actually gave away his personal dragon car pendant.
00:15:33Has he truly fallen in love with Lady Clara?
00:16:18You are giving me something so precious?
00:16:32This bed is so hard.
00:16:49Ow, it's so hot.
00:16:51Clara, are you okay?
00:16:52Did you burn yourself?
00:16:53I'm fine.
00:16:54Don't worry.
00:16:55Breakfast is ready.
00:16:56Eat while it's hot.
00:16:57I have to go out for a bit.
00:16:58Where are you going?
00:16:59Today is our post-wedding family visit.
00:17:01The protective charms I embroidered for my parents still need a few stitches.
00:17:04I must get some threads to finish them before we head to the manor.
00:17:06Then I'll go with you.
00:17:08Okay.
00:17:14Greetings, your majesty.
00:17:17Your majesty?
00:17:18Your majesty?
00:17:22Greetings, your...
00:17:23Greetings, your...
00:17:25What's wrong?
00:17:25Are you feeling unwell?
00:17:29What's wrong with the emperor?
00:17:30Is he sick?
00:17:31Your majesty...
00:17:32Whoa, there's plenty of dirt here.
00:17:34No need for such a grand vow.
00:17:36What are you doing?
00:17:37Are you alright?
00:17:38I'm fine.
00:17:39Don't worry.
00:17:41Who are they?
00:17:42Palace matters are too messy right now.
00:17:43I will reveal my identity to Clara later.
00:17:45Oh, they...
00:17:46They're here for Lucas.
00:17:48Oh, right.
00:17:48My friends.
00:17:49They're here for me.
00:17:50I used to work in the palace.
00:17:52We're old acquaintances.
00:17:53Hmm.
00:17:54Oh.
00:17:55Clara.
00:17:56I'm gonna help Lucas with his guests.
00:17:57Can you buy the threads alone?
00:17:59Sure.
00:18:04Your majesty.
00:18:07Report.
00:18:07What's happened?
00:18:08Word came from the palace that the empress dowager was so worried about you that she collapsed.
00:18:12What?
00:18:13Lucas, you stay here and protect Clara.
00:18:15Yes, sire.
00:18:16The rest of you, back to the palace with me.
00:18:21Have our men prepare some lavish gifts and send them to the Shaw Manor.
00:18:25Let them be a homecoming gift from Clara.
00:18:27Understood.
00:18:27Let's go.
00:18:28Hot buns!
00:18:29Get them while they're hot!
00:18:31Come and have a look!
00:18:33Fine goods, great prices.
00:18:35Come and have a look!
00:18:36Luke is home entertaining guests.
00:18:38I shouldn't go back and disturb him.
00:18:40My father already dislikes who Luke is.
00:18:43He'll just be humiliated if he comes along.
00:18:45I'd better go back by myself.
00:18:53They're my family, after all.
00:18:55No matter how hard it is, I have to face them.
00:18:57I should go in.
00:19:00Father, I'm home!
00:19:02Father, I'm home!
00:19:06Well, well.
00:19:10Clara, why did you come back alone?
00:19:16On a grand day like our return visit, why did you come back all by yourself?
00:19:20Don't tell me you were afraid your beggar husband would embarrass you.
00:19:23So you didn't even let him come back with you.
00:19:26He had something urgent come up.
00:19:28Lady Clara, marrying a beggar must be complete misery.
00:19:32You've gotten so thin.
00:19:34If you hadn't married that filthy beggar, I might have taken you as my concubine, saving you from falling this
00:19:39low.
00:19:41Bitch.
00:19:41Amos, you don't know that my sister has always preferred associating with the lower class.
00:19:45Having her here at the Miller Manor probably makes her uncomfortable.
00:19:48Do not waste your breath on me.
00:19:49I'm doing just fine.
00:19:50But what about you, Erica?
00:19:52Erica, lately I bet you haven't seen your husband.
00:19:54Hey!
00:19:56That damn Amos Miller.
00:19:57On our wedding night, he went out cruising.
00:19:59Now the whole town knows.
00:20:00I am utterly humiliated.
00:20:02Erica.
00:20:08Mother.
00:20:11Greetings, father.
00:20:12Greetings, mother.
00:20:14You're here alone?
00:20:15Have you no shame at all?
00:20:16It has been only days, yet you forgot our family etiquette.
00:20:19Lord Amos is a man of noble status, yet he personally accompanied Erica.
00:20:22What rubbish Luke's busy with.
00:20:24Abandoning you on your wedding return.
00:20:25Don't give him too much credit.
00:20:27That filthy beggar is probably out begging on the streets as we speak.
00:20:30Father, I've brought some modest gifts.
00:20:33Someone.
00:20:36To have you visit our home in person is already a great privilege for me.
00:20:40I can't believe you brought so much.
00:20:42Take them inside at once.
00:20:43My daughter marrying you is the greatest blessing of her life.
00:20:46Unlike certain people who threw her life away on a beggar.
00:20:49But this family raised you for years.
00:20:50Did you really plan to show up empty-handed?
00:20:52Yes, Clara.
00:20:53Are you really so pathetically broke that you couldn't even afford a single return gift?
00:20:57Of course not.
00:21:00I personally embroidered these protective charms for father and mother.
00:21:04I sincerely pray that you both will stay safe and well.
00:21:12Get out!
00:21:13What worthless garbage!
00:21:15Clara, what is this thing you've made?
00:21:17A worthless piece of cloth thing you dare flaunt it to humiliate us?
00:21:21You truly are a beggar's wife.
00:21:23Even your pathetic gifts match your miserable status.
00:21:27Enough, that's enough.
00:21:28She's married a beggar after all.
00:21:30What decent thing could she possibly offer?
00:21:32Master, master!
00:21:33Men from the palace are here with gifts.
00:21:35They saved the grand return gift from Lady Clara.
00:21:37What?
00:21:47Squire Shaw!
00:21:48Congratulations!
00:21:49Your eldest daughter must have found a very powerful lord.
00:21:52Otherwise, why would the officials order me to deliver these gifts myself?
00:21:55Well, Louis, were these really sent from the palace?
00:21:58The head eunuch himself came to arrange this.
00:22:01How could it be fake?
00:22:02They said it was for Lady Clara.
00:22:05You must have misheard.
00:22:06Everyone in Kingston knows that Clara married a beggar.
00:22:09Unlike our Amos, his brother is the deputy chief justice.
00:22:12They must have sent these out of respect for Amos.
00:22:14Plenty of people are desperate to flatter his family.
00:22:16I just didn't expect the palace to notice us too.
00:22:19Plenty of people are desperate to flatter my family.
00:22:22Father, please accept this.
00:22:23Our Erika's truly married a fine husband.
00:22:26This grand reception and these lavish gifts really bring honor to the Shaw matter.
00:22:30I remember them saying these gifts were for Lady Clara.
00:22:33Thank you for making the trip here.
00:22:36Well, as long as it's for the Shas, it doesn't matter.
00:22:39My mistake.
00:22:40The gifts are for Lady Erika.
00:22:42Take all of this inside.
00:22:47Clara, my husband sent homecoming gifts twice.
00:22:50Looking at all this, aren't you ashamed?
00:22:54Gifts do not matter.
00:22:55Sincerity does.
00:22:56I see nothing wrong with it.
00:22:58So you don't care about our reputation at all?
00:23:00I wish the years raising you!
00:23:02Yet as the eldest daughter of this house, you married a beggar and disgraced us.
00:23:06And now you bring back this worthless chug to disgrace me!
00:23:09Don't ever come back here again!
00:23:11The Shaw family has no place for a failure like you!
00:23:18Fine.
00:23:19I'll leave then.
00:23:21Take care, Father.
00:23:22I will visit again some other day.
00:23:26In my past life, I suffered immensely because of that filthy beggar.
00:23:29Why should Clara get to leave so easily?
00:23:31Father, look at her trying to leave without a word of apology.
00:23:34So outrageous.
00:23:35She's right, Victor.
00:23:36You can't just let her leave like this.
00:23:38We don't want people gossiping behind our backs, saying our family has no discipline.
00:23:41Stop right there!
00:23:43You think you can just come and go as you please?
00:23:46What do you take my manor for?
00:23:49No matter what I do, Father, I am always wrong in your eyes.
00:23:53Leaving now will save certain people from looking at an eyesore.
00:23:56You want to leave?
00:23:57Fine.
00:23:58Not until you crawl down Crown Avenue begging for forgiveness and tell the whole town how you shame this family
00:24:03by marrying a beggar.
00:24:07Only then may you sever all ties with us.
00:24:15Greetings, Your Majesty.
00:24:16Greetings, Your Majesty.
00:24:18Mother!
00:24:20I thought she had collapsed.
00:24:22Could it be that she...
00:24:25So you do remember I'm your mother?
00:24:27All I asked was for you to choose a consort.
00:24:29Was that so much to ask?
00:24:30As the Emperor, you actually sneaked out of the palace to fool around.
00:24:33As for choosing a consort, you can make the decision.
00:24:35Since you seem fine, I will take my leave.
00:24:38Wait!
00:24:41Your Majesty, the official court reports have been piling up for days.
00:24:44If you don't attend to them, crucial state affairs will be delayed.
00:24:46Please prioritize your Imperial duties.
00:24:48Once I finish these files and leave the palace, I should still be able to make it to the Shaw
00:24:51Manor in time.
00:24:53To the Royal Steady.
00:24:54Erika makes a very fair point.
00:24:56Do as your sister says.
00:24:59Just because I married Luke, you have to humiliate me like this?
00:25:03You returned today without a husband or a single return gift.
00:25:06Asking you to bow and apologize is hardly asking too much.
00:25:09Erika is only looking out for our family, unlike you marrying a beggar and disgracing our family.
00:25:13Disgracing you?
00:25:14It's just because Erika married into a rich family that you indulge her every whim.
00:25:18You as ill a child!
00:25:20Have I been too easy on you?
00:25:22Who taught you to say such rebellious things?
00:25:25Am I wrong?
00:25:27In your eyes, your daughters are nothing but pawns used to gain power and influence.
00:25:31How dare you!
00:25:32You completely forget your place!
00:25:37The Dragon Carp Jane Pendant!
00:25:43This is bad!
00:25:44I must inform His Majesty at once!
00:25:48Give me back my pendant!
00:25:50This is a fine looking pendant!
00:25:53Tell me, Clara, where did you steal it from?
00:25:55That's from Luke!
00:25:56It's mine!
00:25:56Give it back to me now!
00:25:57That filthy beggar?
00:25:59Then there's no way!
00:26:01He must have stolen it!
00:26:02I thought a Dragon Carp Jane Pendant could never end up in a dump like this!
00:26:05I guess my eyes play tricks on me!
00:26:07Luke may not be as high born as you!
00:26:09So because you were born rich, you think you own everything?
00:26:11Is Luke not allowed to have nice things?
00:26:13Huh.
00:26:14Treasuring a beggar's garbage like it's some precious prize.
00:26:17It's strange, though.
00:26:18You've been out here for so long, yet your husband hasn't come looking for you.
00:26:23Doesn't seem like he cares much about you.
00:26:26Give me back my pendant!
00:26:28You can have the pendant, but you must sever all ties with this family first.
00:26:32What?
00:26:32Father!
00:26:33Are you really going to let Erica get away with this?
00:26:36I'm your daughter, too!
00:26:37You insisted on marrying that beggar, and humiliated my family name!
00:26:41From this moment on, Erica's my only daughter!
00:26:48In this life, I only wish to be with someone who loves me truly.
00:26:52Even a simple, poor life is better than enduring your cold contempt.
00:26:58If that's your choice, then from this day forward...
00:27:04I, Claire Shaw, hereby sever all ties with the Shaws!
00:27:07We are done!
00:27:13For a filthy beggar, you chose to disown your own family.
00:27:16Good thing we never depended on you!
00:27:19Isn't that exactly what you wanted, Father?
00:27:21Why should I stay here and suffer?
00:27:27Give me the pendant!
00:27:28Not so fast!
00:27:30Someone, bring the hot coals from the kitchen!
00:27:32Spread them on the ground!
00:27:33What are you doing?
00:27:41Greetings, Your Majesty!
00:27:44Who sent you?
00:27:45I am Wendy Zane, daughter of Hunter Zane, the Prime Minister.
00:27:48The Empress Dowager ordered me to attend to Your Majesty.
00:27:51I'm busy with state affairs leave.
00:27:53Your Majesty!
00:27:54Something terrible has happened!
00:27:56Lady Claire is at the Shaw Manor!
00:27:58What happened?
00:28:00What exactly happened?
00:28:01Speak!
00:28:02On her wedding return, the Shaws trapped her and humiliated her!
00:28:05They forced her to kneel!
00:28:07What?!
00:28:08Your Majesty, please calm down!
00:28:10Summon the Imperial Guard!
00:28:11We are going to the Shaw Manor!
00:28:13Your Majesty, where are you going?
00:28:14The Empress Dowager said...
00:28:16Ya!
00:28:17Ya!
00:28:23Ya!
00:28:29Your life and your body belong to your parents.
00:28:31You want to sever ties?
00:28:33Then pay back your debt to them first.
00:28:35Walk across this, and you will have your wish.
00:28:39No.
00:28:39These coals are burning so intensely.
00:28:41If I walk on them, I won't survive.
00:28:43I won't do it.
00:28:44Oh?
00:28:45I guess you don't want your precious Jade back.
00:28:49Don't throw it!
00:28:54Luke is the only person who truly loves me in this world.
00:28:56That pendant was left by his own parents.
00:28:58I will never let them destroy his only gift.
00:29:01Fine.
00:29:02I'll do it.
00:29:03I'll do it.
00:29:04I'll do it.
00:29:08I'll do it.
00:29:13You won't.
00:29:17I won't.
00:29:19I'll do it.
00:29:21I'll do it.
00:29:22I'll do it.
00:29:23Put it in the air.
00:29:24I'll do it.
00:29:26For a beggar?
00:29:28You'd really go this far?
00:29:29You've completely lost your mind!
00:29:34A worthless piece of jade makes our spoiled girl gladly walk on burning coals.
00:29:39No wonder she was dumb enough to throw her life away on a beggar.
00:29:42After all, a beggar has nothing of value to offer.
00:29:45No wonder Clara cherishes it so much.
00:29:47I don't have much to offer you right now.
00:29:49This jade pendant was left to me by my father.
00:29:52Now, I want you to have it.
00:30:02Luke, I will get that pendant back.
00:30:16She actually made it all the way.
00:30:25Now, will you give me my pendant back?
00:30:28Luke, you want it?
00:30:29Then you'll have to get it yourself.
00:30:32If you dare to take it.
00:30:34This jade pendant is yours.
00:30:53You really treat it like a treasure.
00:31:09Hmm.
00:31:15Found it.
00:31:16I finally found it.
00:31:20You cherish your pathetic love for that filthy beggar so much.
00:31:25If you were disfigured, do you think your beloved husband would still want you?
00:31:30No!
00:31:31Why are you glaring at me like that?
00:31:33I warned you long ago the fate of marrying a beggar has only one outcome.
00:31:37To be trampled on by everyone.
00:31:38You go to such cruel lengths to torture me.
00:31:40But do you really think you'll win?
00:31:47What I want is for you to spend the rest of your life hiding away in the darkest gutters.
00:31:51Forced to watch me like a rat as I become the most powerful woman in the world.
00:32:01Master!
00:32:02Master!
00:32:03The Emperor is here.
00:32:05What did you say?
00:32:06The Emperor!
00:32:23The Emperor!
00:32:34The Emperor!
00:32:36The Emperor!
00:32:42Clara.
00:32:43Clara.
00:32:45I'm sorry I'm late.
00:32:46Luke.
00:32:48I didn't lose the jade pendant you gave me.
00:32:54I thought the Emperor was coming.
00:32:56Why is it him?
00:32:58That filthy beggar.
00:32:59How can he afford such fine clothes?
00:33:01And look at those men.
00:33:03Aren't those the palace guards?
00:33:05Why are they following a beggar?
00:33:07Mother.
00:33:08I heard his brother used to work in the palace.
00:33:10Stealing a few uniforms would be easy.
00:33:12He must have lost face at the wedding last time.
00:33:15So he's here to put on a show.
00:33:16The palace has been plagued by thefts lately.
00:33:19Could it be their doing?
00:33:20Huh.
00:33:21What a joke!
00:33:22A filthy beggar dares to put on an act into my manner!
00:33:25Clara.
00:33:25Look at this loser you married.
00:33:27Being worthless is one thing.
00:33:28But now, just for pride, he actually dares to steal from the Emperor.
00:33:32If the Emperor finds out, you will both pay with your lives.
00:33:35Utter foolish.
00:33:37You're asking for it.
00:33:42What?
00:33:42What do you think you're doing?
00:33:44Clara, what's wrong?
00:33:46It hurts.
00:33:57Which one of you did this?
00:33:59It was me.
00:34:00What about it?
00:34:01I was only trying to help her.
00:34:02Who knew she would walk on hot coals just for a worthless piece of jade?
00:34:08She must be completely out of her mind.
00:34:10Such an idiot.
00:34:11Shut up!
00:34:11Who do you think you are?
00:34:13How dare you raise your voice in front of me?
00:34:15I can mock her all I want.
00:34:17She chose to marry a good-for-nothing loser like you.
00:34:19Compared to me, you both are nothing but insects.
00:34:23Even if I wanted her dead today, she'd still have to thank me on her knees.
00:34:27Let's see how long you can keep up this act.
00:34:29Well, seize him.
00:34:33How dare you?
00:34:35Touch what is mine.
00:34:36Seize them.
00:34:37Understood.
00:34:44How dare you?
00:34:45I am Lady Miller.
00:34:46I am Lady Miller.
00:34:49Darling, help me.
00:34:51You filthy beggar.
00:34:53How dare you touch my wife?
00:34:54You must have a death wish.
00:34:56Scoundrel!
00:34:57Lord Amos is a royal relative.
00:34:59If you harm him, you make an enemy of the entire Miller family.
00:35:02Hmph.
00:35:03So what if he's royalty?
00:35:05Anyone who harms my people pays with their life.
00:35:09You filthy beggar.
00:35:10You're taking this act too far.
00:35:12Before I lose my temper, let me go right now.
00:35:14And I might let you live.
00:35:15You tortured Clara into a miserable state.
00:35:19Pressed their faces into the burning coals!
00:35:22No!
00:35:23Father!
00:35:24No!
00:35:24Let me go!
00:35:25Let me go!
00:35:26Sir, come!
00:35:27Father!
00:35:28Do something!
00:35:29You dare touch me?
00:35:31Once the High Court guards arrive, you're a dead man!
00:35:34Hold on.
00:35:36The High Court, you say?
00:35:39Scared now, are you?
00:35:40My brother is an Imperial official.
00:35:43If you harm me, you won't get out of this alive.
00:35:47Then I'd like to see who in the High Court would dare to indulge your arrogance.
00:35:55Do it now!
00:35:58Let go of me!
00:36:00Let me go!
00:36:01You imbecile!
00:36:02If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!
00:36:05Stop!
00:36:12Henry!
00:36:13Henry, save me!
00:36:16Get them!
00:36:31You mongrel!
00:36:33So you're the one laying your hand on my brother!
00:36:35Insolent!
00:36:36What if I am?
00:36:38That voice...
00:36:41You're...
00:36:46You carry quite an arrogant authority.
00:36:50Your Majesty!
00:36:52Your Majesty?
00:36:56Your Majesty?
00:36:57This filthy beggar, how can that be?
00:37:00Henry!
00:37:01Don't let this filthy beggar fool you!
00:37:03He's the one who robbed the palace, and he used his money to bribe these people!
00:37:06You just started your job, so a mistake is normal, but he's really just a filthy beggar!
00:37:10He can't possibly be the Emperor!
00:37:12Could I really be mistaken?
00:37:14I only caught a glimpse of His Majesty's profile once.
00:37:17Perhaps it's just a striking resemblance.
00:37:19The Emperor would never be in a place like this.
00:37:21You're disgraced!
00:37:21Look at this loser you married!
00:37:23Now that you've crossed Lord Amos, let's see how you survive this!
00:37:26My lord, you must seek justice for us!
00:37:28This beggar and Clara have lost their minds trying to slaughter their own family!
00:37:33How outrageous!
00:37:34In the heart of the capital, how dare you act so recklessly!
00:37:36Guards!
00:37:37Drag them into the High Court Dungeons and torture them for confessions!
00:37:42Stop!
00:37:44Do you have something else to say?
00:37:45I wasn't aware that you were now Deputy Chief Justice.
00:37:49You're just a filthy beggar.
00:37:50How could you know about court appointments?
00:37:52The Empress Dowager appointed my brother.
00:37:54I bet you're sorry now, aren't you?
00:37:56To even manipulate the Empress Dowager, your Miller family truly is audacious.
00:38:00Your Majesty, you must seek justice for me!
00:38:04The Emperor left the palace and married the eldest Shaw daughter.
00:38:07Because of that woman, His Majesty even lost his temper with me!
00:38:10What?
00:38:11You're saying the Emperor?
00:38:12Ah, actually married a Comet girl?
00:38:19Attendance!
00:38:20Prepare my carriage!
00:38:23How dare you!
00:38:24How dare you insult the Empress Dowager!
00:38:25Do you have a death wish?
00:38:26Please hear us out!
00:38:27Our family has already severed all ties with Clara Shaw!
00:38:30What he says has absolutely nothing to do with us!
00:38:32My lord, we have always followed the rules!
00:38:34We would never dare disrespect royalty!
00:38:36Please clear our name!
00:38:37Yes, my lord!
00:38:38Please be merciful!
00:38:39You filthy beggar insulting royalty is a treasonous offense!
00:38:42Execute him, my lord!
00:38:43Clara Shaw, your pathetic husband has sealed his fate!
00:38:46No one can save you today!
00:38:47I can't let anything happen to Luke.
00:38:50Please spare his life!
00:38:51My husband wasn't thinking straight!
00:38:56Clara!
00:38:57Clara!
00:39:00I'm taking you to a doctor right now.
00:39:03How dare you!
00:39:04Trying to run away!
00:39:05Guards!
00:39:06Stop them!
00:39:10Anyone who gets in my way...
00:39:11Dies.
00:39:13Yes, sire!
00:39:25You won't get away so easily.
00:39:27You won't get away so easily.
00:39:38Luke!
00:39:40Luke!
00:39:46Erica Shaw!
00:39:47How could you be so vicious?
00:39:49Luke never did anything to you!
00:39:51How could you be so ruthless?
00:39:53That filthy beggar dared to have me disfigured.
00:39:56There's no way I will ever let you walk away.
00:40:01Don't bother looking.
00:40:03Your men are too busy to save you now.
00:40:06You're asking for it!
00:40:09Luke!
00:40:10I'm okay.
00:40:12Just go.
00:40:13Go?
00:40:15You think he can leave?
00:40:16Why won't you just let me go?
00:40:18I have to admit, you're so lucky, Clara.
00:40:22Even after marrying a beggar, you still get true love.
00:40:25But the more you have it, the more I want to destroy your happiness.
00:40:29This is between you and me.
00:40:30We shouldn't drag an innocent man into it.
00:40:32Do whatever you want to me.
00:40:35I'm begging you, let Luke go.
00:40:41Clara!
00:40:42Clara!
00:40:43How touching.
00:40:44Even at a time like this, you're still so devoted to each other.
00:40:48Since you two are so deeply in love.
00:40:50Then I don't mind sending you off together.
00:40:53Die!
00:40:53Die!
00:41:00The Empress Dowager has arrived!
00:41:12Who dare harm's my son?
00:41:15Greetings, Your Majesty.
00:41:19He really is...
00:41:20The Emperor.
00:41:27Physician!
00:41:28Go get a physician!
00:41:29Your Majesty!
00:41:30I deserve to die for this!
00:41:33Silence!
00:41:36Clara!
00:41:38Lucas, take Clara back to the palace for treatment.
00:41:40If anything happens to Clara, you will answer with your life!
00:41:44Yes, Your Majesty!
00:41:52My son!
00:41:54Your wound!
00:41:59Your Majesty!
00:42:01Impossible!
00:42:03How could he be the Emperor?
00:42:05I clearly planned every single step.
00:42:07Reborn into this life and I still choose wrong!
00:42:12Please spare my life, Your Majesty!
00:42:14Your Majesty!
00:42:15Please show us mercy!
00:42:16I was completely blind!
00:42:18I accidentally harmed you!
00:42:20Your Majesty!
00:42:21Everyone in the Shaw Manor has been arrested!
00:42:24What?
00:42:26You killed him!
00:42:27Isn't he just a beggar?
00:42:28How could he be the Emperor?
00:42:29Spare my life, Your Majesty!
00:42:30I know I was wrong!
00:42:31When you humiliated Clara, did you ever think this day would come?
00:42:36By my decree, Victor Shaw and his entire household shall be executed on the spot!
00:42:43No!
00:42:46Henry Miller, an official of the Empire, abused his authorities to aid these villains.
00:42:51Effective immediately, he is stripped of his title as Deputy Chief.
00:42:55Throw him and Amos to the High Court Dungeons!
00:42:59What?
00:42:59Your Majesty!
00:43:01I have made a grave mistake!
00:43:03But it is all the Shaw family's fault!
00:43:06Out of respect for my father, please give me a chance to redeem myself!
00:43:11Yes, yes, that's right!
00:43:12Please show mercy, Your Majesty!
00:43:14My son, although the two Miller sons were utterly foolish, they were not the masterminds!
00:43:20Let them off this once!
00:43:21Enlighten their punishment!
00:43:24But they...
00:43:26You make the choice.
00:43:34Clara!
00:43:35Luke?
00:43:36Are you alright?
00:43:37Are you hurt?
00:43:38I'm fine, just lie down.
00:43:40The Royal Physician said you must rest your wound.
00:43:43The Royal Physician?
00:43:45Why are we in the palace?
00:43:46The Empress Dowager saved us.
00:43:48The Empress Dowager?
00:43:53Mother...
00:43:54You want to name Clara as Empress?
00:43:55I will never allow it!
00:43:57Clara and I have already pledged our lives.
00:43:59Whether you agree or not, I will overcome any obstacle to make Clara my Empress.
00:44:04What?
00:44:07Fine.
00:44:08I will find an opportunity to test Clara Shaw.
00:44:11If she can pass my test, I will not stand in your way.
00:44:16Thank you, Mother.
00:44:18But before that, you must not reveal your identity to her.
00:44:24Or I'll find plenty of ways to punish her.
00:44:28I understand.
00:44:30Her Majesty left the palace to pray and happened to pass by your manor, which was how she saved us.
00:44:33What about my family?
00:44:35Her Majesty ordered your sister and Amos to be flogged 50 times.
00:44:39Amos has always lived a degenerate life, so he was too weak and passed out, so the Empress Dowager had
00:44:44him locked up.
00:44:44Your sister was sent to the discipline ward to do hard labor, as for your parents.
00:44:48What happened to my parents?
00:44:51They've been exiled.
00:44:55Exiled?
00:44:59I'll protect you from now on.
00:45:02I asked Her Majesty for a guard position, and she assigned you to the palace attendance.
00:45:07We will both work inside the palace now.
00:45:09That's wonderful.
00:45:11Now that we both have a secure living, we can work here for a few years, and then leave this
00:45:16palace together and live a simple life.
00:45:18All right.
00:45:22Clara, I hope you can forgive me.
00:45:28This is the palace attendance.
00:45:32So where do your guards stay?
00:45:34We're on patrol all the time.
00:45:36We don't have a fixed post.
00:45:40Don't worry.
00:45:41When I'm free, I'll make time to come see you.
00:45:44All right.
00:45:55You come to visit my office, yet you didn't give me any warning.
00:46:00This is the new maid, Clara Shaw.
00:46:02From now on, I expect you, Madam Lin, to take extra care of her.
00:46:07She runs the palace attendance.
00:46:09Madam Lin, go to her for anything you need.
00:46:12Madam Lin?
00:46:13Oh, I see.
00:46:14Don't you worry.
00:46:15I'll be sure to take good care of Lady Clara.
00:46:18She's being way too polite.
00:46:20I came here to work, so why does it feel like I'm the master here?
00:46:24She's probably just a kind soul.
00:46:26That's good, though.
00:46:26No one will dare mistreat you here.
00:46:28Clara, please follow me.
00:46:41Wash.
00:46:42All of these right now.
00:46:43We are both servants here, so I have no reason to do your laundry.
00:46:47How dare you ask that?
00:46:48You stole my assignment, forcing me to clean toilets instead.
00:46:51Some people use disgusting tricks to get into this place.
00:46:54Since you charmed Madam Lin, she dumped the easiest chore on you.
00:47:06Give that back!
00:47:09The dragon carved jade pendant!
00:47:11Only the emperor is allowed to wear.
00:47:12Speak!
00:47:13Where did you steal it?
00:47:14What emperor?
00:47:14Just give me back the pendant!
00:47:18Go get Madam Lin.
00:47:19Yes.
00:47:21Yes.
00:47:37Jenny!
00:47:38You!
00:47:38I...
00:47:39It was an accident!
00:47:40Cease her right now!
00:47:44Stop it, all of you!
00:47:50Your majesty.
00:47:52The palace attendance is far too vulgar.
00:47:55You have never set foot here.
00:47:56I fear it may offend your grace.
00:47:58Let me announce your arrival first.
00:47:59No need.
00:48:01I specifically disguise myself as a manager.
00:48:04Because I want to see the real Clara Shaw for myself.
00:48:08If she knows who I am, it defeats a purpose.
00:48:12The palace rules are strict.
00:48:14I was only gone for a moment, yet you dare run wild like this?
00:48:18What do you take this office for?
00:48:20Madam!
00:48:21It was all her!
00:48:24Clara stole the emperor's imperial pendant and I caught her!
00:48:27Afraid she'd be exposed so she even attacked me!
00:48:29The palace detests thieves above all else.
00:48:32Madam Lin, you must punish her severely.
00:48:34Madam!
00:48:35That's not what happened!
00:48:36Enough!
00:48:40Show me the pendant!
00:48:44The pendant is mine!
00:48:45I said show it to me!
00:48:54The dragon carved jade pendant!
00:48:56It truly is the emperor's!
00:49:03Please believe me, madam!
00:49:04I truly had no idea that it belonged to the emperor!
00:49:07Madam, please don't be fooled by her lies!
00:49:08She dared to steal from the emperor himself!
00:49:10Who knows what other brazen things she'll do!
00:49:13Palace laws explicitly state that stealing any royal property warrants severe branding and mutilation!
00:49:21I will personally investigate this matter!
00:49:24Until this matter is resolved, I'll be keeping the pendant safe!
00:49:27If you really are innocent, I'll make sure you're cleared!
00:49:32Get up!
00:49:34Thank you, madam!
00:49:37This is our new manager, Madam Watson.
00:49:39From now on, she will work with me to oversee the palace attendance.
00:49:41Madam!
00:49:43All of you, listen up!
00:49:45Anyone caught slacking off will be punished without mercy!
00:49:49Yes, madam!
00:49:50As for your assault on a fellow maid,
00:49:52you are reassigned to clean the toilets.
00:49:58You will not eat a single bite until the job is entirely finished!
00:50:02Yes, madam!
00:50:06And here I thought you were someone special!
00:50:08Weren't you supposedly an expert at seducing men?
00:50:11How did you still get punished?
00:50:15Let's see if you ever dare to act so arrogant around us again!
00:50:34Isn't that so much better?
00:50:39Your majesty!
00:50:40Lady Wendy is here again today!
00:50:42Would you like to...
00:50:43I won't see her!
00:50:44Send her away!
00:50:46But...
00:50:46And you!
00:50:47I'm going to see Clara!
00:50:49If you keep tailing me, you'll give me away!
00:50:51I will take my leave at once!
00:50:54All done!
00:50:55I'm amazing!
00:50:56Clara!
00:50:58Luke!
00:50:59What are you doing here?
00:51:01How can Madam Lim make you do this?
00:51:03I will go confront her!
00:51:04It's just cleaning toilets!
00:51:05It's no big deal!
00:51:06Don't trouble the managers over this!
00:51:08Okay!
00:51:10Oh, by the way!
00:51:11What is the story behind the pendant?
00:51:13Why does everyone keep saying it belongs to the Emperor?
00:51:17I...
00:51:19My father graduated top of the Imperial exams
00:51:22to encourage future scholars.
00:51:25The Emperor personally bestowed this pendant upon him
00:51:27and that's how he came to have it.
00:51:29Oh, I see.
00:51:30No wonder they kept mentioning the Emperor.
00:51:32And I thought you were lying to me.
00:51:34Who's there?
00:51:36It's the Madam.
00:51:37You have to go now.
00:51:38I'm on duty serving the Emperor tomorrow.
00:51:39I'll find a chance to see you then.
00:51:41Okay.
00:51:45Madams,
00:51:46I have finished cleaning all the toilets.
00:51:48If you're done,
00:51:49then you can clean the entire backyard.
00:51:55Yes, Madam.
00:52:01Finally done sweeping.
00:52:09What gives you the right to throw my stuff away?
00:52:13Madam Watson personally ordered you
00:52:15to deliver her medicine by dawn tomorrow.
00:52:17She also explicitly stated that the herbs
00:52:19must be brewed with the fresh dew,
00:52:20so you'll wait outside tonight.
00:52:21Fresh dew?
00:52:23That's right.
00:52:23Fresh dew.
00:52:25Everyone here is a witness,
00:52:26so don't say I'm lying.
00:52:28Why is Madam only targeting me?
00:52:31Regarding the stolen pendant,
00:52:33Madam Watson was already merciful enough
00:52:34not to lock you up.
00:52:35She's only asking you to collect some dew.
00:52:37You should be grateful.
00:52:38I didn't steal the jade pendant.
00:52:40Stop your lies.
00:52:42You didn't steal it.
00:52:43Don't tell me.
00:52:44The Emperor gave it to you himself?
00:52:47I...
00:52:48Forget it.
00:52:49Why am I even talking to you?
00:52:51Who said you could go in?
00:52:53It's cold out here.
00:52:54I'm getting my own blanket.
00:52:55You have no right to stop me.
00:52:56Such nerve.
00:52:57This is the royal palace.
00:52:58Nothing here belongs to you.
00:52:59Don't think Madam Lynn can protect your every whim.
00:53:02Get out of my way.
00:53:07Clara!
00:53:10Clara!
00:53:11Clara!
00:53:12Are you alright?
00:53:13What?
00:53:14Who did this?
00:53:16Why is Lucas here?
00:53:17Could he be...
00:53:19You have a death wish!
00:53:20Your...
00:53:21Your Majesty!
00:53:23You're the Emperor?
00:53:29How dare you!
00:53:30This is the inner palace.
00:53:31Who let you in?
00:53:32You must not reveal
00:53:34your identity to her.
00:53:37I meant no offense.
00:53:38I merely saw someone getting hurt
00:53:40and rushed over to help.
00:53:41He's not the Emperor.
00:53:42Then why was Lucas
00:53:43treating him with such respect?
00:53:45Lucas,
00:53:46what is this all about?
00:53:50You all have it wrong.
00:53:52This guard was summoned
00:53:53because he looks a bit like his majesty.
00:53:55The Emperor only wished to question him.
00:53:56He is new and doesn't know the rules.
00:53:58He doesn't know the palace attendance
00:53:59is off limits.
00:54:00Forgive me, Madam.
00:54:01It's all my fault.
00:54:03I shouldn't have argued with Iris.
00:54:05And I worried this young guard.
00:54:06Since you know you were wrong,
00:54:08get out of here now.
00:54:10Thank you, Madam.
00:54:15Your Majesty!
00:54:16Just now I truly had no other choice!
00:54:21Go watch over things.
00:54:23Don't let my mother blame Clara for this.
00:54:25Yes, Your Majesty.
00:54:27Lucas!
00:54:34Madam Wind?
00:54:35Is there something else, Lucas?
00:54:38No, not at all.
00:54:39Nothing.
00:54:44As for you.
00:54:48I wonder who is backing her from the shadows.
00:54:51Fooling around with a guard is a major scandal,
00:54:53yet Madam Watson only made her kneel.
00:54:56You've got a point.
00:54:58Even that stolen pendant business
00:55:00was completely swept under the rug.
00:55:03Tell me,
00:55:05if the Emperor finds out
00:55:06that someone stole his personal pendant,
00:55:08how will he destroy her?
00:55:18I'm still worried Mother will blame Clara.
00:55:23Then perhaps I should...
00:55:25Your Majesty,
00:55:26a maid is seeking an audience.
00:55:28her man's что-

00:57:13to keep him so distracted
00:57:16it wasn't me
00:57:17I wouldn't dare seduce the emperor
00:57:19even if my life depended on it
00:57:22wait I remember now
00:57:24someone in the palace attendance
00:57:25actually has that kind of audacity
00:57:28Clara Shaw

00:57:31that you are the one seducing the emperor
00:57:33let's see how you survive her wrath
00:57:37you only need to wait 12 hours madam

00:58:21your majesty
00:58:22I believe the emperor's desire
00:58:25to marry lady Clara
00:58:26is not some reckless whim
00:58:29lady Clara is indeed quite remarkable
00:58:41that's her
00:58:51you're the one seducing the emperor
00:58:56what a temptress
00:58:57no wonder you can't behave
00:58:59it's bad enough the emperor found someone
00:59:01to marry outside the palace
00:59:02but since when
00:59:04do you filthy worldly servants
00:59:06get to have such disgusting ideas
00:59:13when did Clara ever seduce the emperor
00:59:17Jenny
00:59:19have you already forgotten
00:59:20how Clara treated you before
00:59:24Clara never once started anything with me
00:59:26you are the one looking for a fight
00:59:31Jenny

01:08:59clara how should i reward her
01:09:01erica is indeed my sister
01:09:03but we were never close
01:09:04growing up
01:09:05our bond is quite shallow
01:09:07i shouldn't interfere with her fate
01:09:08i leave it entirely to your judgment
01:09:10your majesty
01:09:11i believe erica has a good heart
01:09:14her past crimes might be a misunderstanding
01:09:17very well
01:09:18she's been in the discipline ward
01:09:20for quite some time now

01:10:08the agonizing pain from your wounds
01:10:10if you hadn't constantly crossed me
01:10:12you would never have ended up like this
01:10:14in here i thought you'd actually become a phoenix
01:10:16turns out you're still just a pheasant
01:10:19it seems
01:10:20the emperor hasn't given you a title yet
01:10:22what are you implying?
01:10:26cut the act
01:10:27weren't you with the

01:10:40let's see how long you can keep this up
01:10:43please just let me out henry
01:10:44being locked up in this manor all day

01:10:47how dare you even complain?
01:10:50if you and erica hadn't been so utterly stupid
01:10:51we wouldn't have offended the emperor
01:10:53i wouldn't have lost my title either

01:11:06henry
01:11:07the person who truly ruined you is clara
01:11:09stop blaming each other
01:11:10we should find a way to crush clara
01:11:12clara shaw
01:11:13she has probably already become an imperial consort
01:11:16how can we possibly fight her?
01:11:17in the discipline ward i saw her once
01:11:19clara shaw is just a lowly palismaine now
01:11:22she's no threat at all
01:11:23a palismaine?
01:11:25did the emperor marry her on a reckless whim?
01:11:28if his majesty truly loved her
01:11:29he would never let her work as a slave
01:11:31i already have a plan
01:11:32the spring gala is early next month
01:11:34all the royals and nobles will be invited to the palace to attend
01:11:37this is our only chance
01:11:38the spring gala?

01:12:06the palace has plenty
01:12:07it's a good thing it is held in such a secluded location with no patrols around

01:13:01lady clara
01:13:02have you forgotten your brother-in-law?
01:13:04what's this?
01:13:06abandoned by the emperor?
01:13:08so you threw yourself out of guard?
01:13:10this is the royal palace
01:13:11you won't be coddled here
01:13:12this isn't the shaw manor
01:13:13your every move is watched by the emperor and the empress dowager
01:13:17you two were just released?
01:13:19and you've forgotten your lesson?
01:13:21amos and i are esteemed guests invited to this banquet
01:13:24but you are nothing but a worthless maid
01:13:26if the nobility is pleased
01:13:28you get a scrap
01:13:29if they're not
01:13:30no one gives a damn if you drop dead
01:13:32what do you think you're doing?
01:13:40erika shaw

01:13:44as long as you're miserable
01:13:46i'm happy
01:13:49you only survived back at the manor
01:13:52because of your dumb luck
01:13:54now absolutely no one is here to protect you
01:13:57greetings your majesty
01:14:07greetings your majesty
01:14:13thank you for your hard work on the palace banquet
01:14:20it was my duty
01:14:22it was no trouble at all
01:14:24your majesty
01:14:25i have a matter to report
01:14:27speak
01:14:27i wish to denounce clara for fooling around with the guard
01:14:30i saw it with my own eyes
01:14:32clara and the guard were completely inseparable
01:14:34they even tried to hide it when they got caught
01:14:36they're this brazen
01:14:37behind closed doors
01:14:38who knows what scandals they commit
01:14:42i admit i have been seeing a guard
01:14:44but we did nothing as disgraceful as they claim
01:14:46before we entered the palace
01:14:48we had already fallen for each other
01:14:49our meetings here are rare and brief
01:14:51if you weren't guilty
01:14:52why did you scramble to lead the moment you saw us?
01:14:55affairs are a capital offense
01:14:56you can put me to death
01:14:57but i beg you to show mercy
01:14:59and spare the guard's life
01:15:00i was the one who asked to see him
01:15:06ultimately it's clear that neither of you is innocent
01:15:10i request your majesty
01:15:12to seize that guard and execute them both
01:15:14please execute both of them to restore order to the harem
01:15:21the palace regulations forbid any involvement between maids and guards
01:15:25however clara put her entire heart into organizing this banquet
01:15:28her service that was her fault
01:15:29which is why i shall waive her punishment
01:15:32hmm
01:15:36clara
01:15:36clara you may go back to your duties
01:15:39yes
01:15:48she got away with it again
01:15:50how is clara shaw so lucky
01:15:51first the emperor was protecting her
01:15:53and now she's favored by the empress dowager
01:15:55she was even given full charge of the spring gala
01:15:57since clara is running this entire spring gala
01:15:59it's easier for us
01:16:01your majesty the banquet is done

01:16:11tell her to meet me where we just were
01:16:13but
01:16:16what is it
01:16:17you've done a fantastic job
01:16:19the nobility is full of praise for how wonderfully the scala was running
01:16:22even the empress dowager looked immensely pleased

01:17:09the palace is heavily guarded

01:17:12clara must be conspiring with the assassins
01:17:14the one who ruined wedi's life is also this clara shaw
01:17:18how dare you
01:17:19you planted assassins to murder the empress dowager
01:17:22what is your treasonous motive

01:17:26i truly don't know
01:17:27please give me some time
01:17:29i'll find out
01:17:29of course you wouldn't know
01:17:30right before the gala
01:17:31you were sneaking
01:17:32around with the guard
01:17:33you obviously never cared about her majesty's safety at all
01:17:36what is this true
01:17:38i can testify to that
01:17:39that guard is still in the courtyard
01:17:40he does

01:18:15you organized this gala with your own hands
01:18:18trying to wash your hands of it now
01:18:20too late
01:18:20the outside assassins infiltrated the bank with his dancers
01:18:24this was clearly premediated
01:18:25regardless of whether she collected them or not
01:18:28he compromised her majesty's safety
01:18:29for that she must die
