Transcript
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.
00:00:07I humbly accept this great honor.
00:00:09Lady Miller, accept the Imperial Edict.
00:00:19Murder! Somebody help!
00:00:22Help!
00:00:33Erika...
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!
00:01:49Erika 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! You 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! Give it to me!
00:02:08Over here! Give it to me! Please!
00:02:11Get 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!
00:02:24Give it to me! Give it to me! Give it to me! Give it to me!
00:02:26Give it to me! Give 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!
00:02:42Amos 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!
00:02:51Oh, Erica Shaw! Erica Shaw! You schemed and plotted, completely unaware you just walked right into a wolf's den!
00:03:00Excellent! Excellent! Erica, 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!
00:03:19Clara Shaw, your good fortune is now mine! In this life, I will never let you outshadow me again!
00:03:27Erica, 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 trust 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?
00:04:02Hey! Come here!
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? Let's go! Let's go have a look!
00:04:15In my past life, a filthy beggar caught my bridal ball, making me suffer terribly after I fled!
00:04:20Perfect! Now I'll let you taste the pain of being abandoned by family!
00:04:25Go on, do exactly as I said!
00:04:27Yes, Lady Erica!
00:04:28What are they up to?
00:04:29Now 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!
00:04:48You 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!
00:05:07Hey, get it! Get the box!
00:05:09Whoa!
00:05:12It's mine!
00:05:21It's him! In my past life, he was the exact one who caught Erica's bridal ball!
00:05:25Oh dear! How could the bridal ball end up with a beggar?
00:05:29Clara, what terrible luck! Of all people, you picked a beggar!
00:05:33You must have really angered the gods! How will father ever show his face?
00:05:36You useless girl!
00:05:38With the crowd there, you threw it to a beggar!
00:05:40Now while Kingston is laughing at us, are 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, raised in luxury your whole life and now you actually have to marry a
00:06:02beggar!
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! We cannot help you!
00:06:12Well, well! Now this is a show!
00:06:14Will the noble girl actually marry a beggar?
00:06:17Everyone's watching! If she refuses the marriage, her family will break their promise!
00:06:20Who dares associate with them after that?
00:06:22Exactly! Let's see how they handle this!
00:06:24Hey! Where are you going? Stop her! Don't let her get away!
00:06:27Master! I've finally found you!
00:06:31For heaven's sake! Why is the bridal ball in your hands? Why 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! Why 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
00:07:06one who chose him.
00:07:07Don't tell me you regret it now!
00:07:08You wretched girl! Look at that filthy beggar you attracted!
00:07:11If he really becomes my son-in-law, you'd 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.
00:07:21Thinking about it now, I'd rather marry a beggar and live a peaceful life.
00:07:24The 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? How 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...
00:07:56You really want to marry me?
00:07:57Of course. Since you caught my bridal ball, are you trying to back out now?
00:08:03No, it's not that. It'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, you need to think this through.
00:08:27Marrying a beggar is throwing your future away!
00:08:29A good future isn't built on status. It'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.
00:08:40Pew!
00:08:40The rules of the match are already set. Even if the Squire wants to go back now, it's too late.
00:08:46Exactly. If 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.
00:08:58Any future glory we achieve will have nothing to do with you.
00:09:01I understand, Father.
00:09:02All right, everyone, break it up! Always have to watch the drama, honestly.
00:09:07Well, the show's over. Time to go home.
00:09:10Lord Amos! Lord Amos, please wait!
00:09:13Lord Amos, please come inside the manor to discuss the wedding.
00:09:19Let's go. This 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.
00:09:29You should worry more about yourself. Life in the Miller Manor won't be nearly as pleasant as you imagine.
00:09:43You...
00:09:44Excuse me! Excuse me!
00:09:45Woah!
00:10:00Oh my goodness! Are you alright? Are you hurt?
00:10:05I'm fine. See, I'm perfectly fine.
00:10:08I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!
00:10:09It was an accident. Just 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.
00:10:22Alright. I'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, 20 rolls
00:10:45of premium silk, and three deeds to Eastern Estates.
00:10:52Lady Erika's dowry is worth a fortune. But Lady Clara gets nothing. They're both Shaw daughters, but the difference is
00:10:58massive.
00:10:59Haven't you heard? Lady Erika is marrying the second son of the Miller family, while Lady Clara is marrying some
00:11:03beggar. Of 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. I wonder if you can even handle
00:11:11it.
00:11:11The groom is here.
00:11:15He is truly a son of the Millers. What a grand entrance. The Miller family is incredibly powerful.
00:11:21Erika will enjoy endless blessings after marrying him.
00:11:24But Lady Clara marries a beggar. Her future will be a joke.
00:11:28He's here! He'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. To have you honor Erika like this is
00:11:46a 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. Your husband isn't here yet. Did he abandon you?
00:12:00He's here! He's here! The groom has arrived!
00:12:07You're finally here.
00:12:09I will do what I promised.
00:12:15My royal...
00:12:18Uh...
00:12:20My apologies. I'm late.
00:12:22What in the world are you wearing? In front of all these noble guests? You 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. It'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. Once Clara leaves this door, she is no longer a Shaw.
00:12:46The auspicious hour has arrived! Bring up the bride!
00:12:52Mr. Voss has arrived!
00:12:58Your...
00:12:59Shut your mouth if you want to live.
00:13:01What an honor, Minister Voss. Forgive my lack of proper welcome.
00:13:05Heaven truly does reward the faithful.
00:13:08Squire, congratulations.
00:13:10Thank you. This way, Minister Voss.
00:13:13Uh...
00:13:14No, after you. The groom comes first. Please 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.
00:13:26Well, today is certainly a first.
00:13:29Tell me about it.
00:13:30Unlike my husband.
00:13:39My dear. Let's go home.
00:14:01Clare Shaw. Just wait until I'm the Grand Dame. You'll be sorry then.
00:14:08Clare Shaw. Just wait until I'm the Grand Dame. You'll be sorry then.
00:14:17Not really.
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. How can anyone live here?
00:14:40I was just worried you'd blow your cover.
00:14:46I know this place is beneath you. I'm so sorry to wrong you like this. Let's just...
00:14:50Let's just give it a good clean. It is actually quite spacious here, so it will definitely be comfortable.
00:14:55From now on, this will be our home.
00:14:57Home? Our home.
00:15:00This lady Clara is so virtuous and gentle. She's a million times better than all those ladies mother picked out
00:15:05for me.
00:15:08Clara.
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?
00:15:26All right. Don't worry. I'll take very good care of it.
00:15:30The Emperor actually gave away his personal dragon card pendant.
00:15:33Does he truly fall in love with Lady Clara?
00:15:34The Emperor?
00:15:46The Emperor
00:15:48The Emperor
00:15:49The Emperor
00:15:54The Emperor
00:15:58The Emperor
00:15:59As a single-move
00:16:03The Emperor
00:16:04Suicide
00:16:04The Emperor
00:16:32This bed is so hard.
00:16:49Ow, it's so hot.
00:16:51Clara, are you okay? Did you burn yourself?
00:16:53I'm fine, don't worry. Breakfast is ready. Eat while it's hot. I have to go out for a bit.
00:16:58Where are you going?
00:16:59Today is our post-wedding family visit. The 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?
00:17:22Greetings, your...
00:17:25What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?
00:17:29What's wrong with the emperor? Is he sick?
00:17:31You imagine...
00:17:32Whoa! There's plenty of dirt here! No need for such a grand bow!
00:17:36What are you doing?
00:17:37Are you alright?
00:17:38I'm fine. Don't worry.
00:17:41Who are they?
00:17:42Palace matters are too messy right now. I will reveal my identity to Clara later.
00:17:45Oh, they...
00:17:46They're here for Lucas.
00:17:48Oh, right! My 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, I'm gonna help Lucas with his guests.
00:17:58Can you buy the threads alone?
00:17:59Sure.
00:18:04Your majesty!
00:18:07Report. What'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.
00:18:22Have 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! Get 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!
00:19:01I'm home!
00:19:02Father!
00:19:03I'm home!
00:19:06Father!
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
00:19:40low.
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.
00:19:51But what about you, Erica?
00:19:52Lately, 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.
00:20:23Abandoning 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 a holy 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 and 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, master!
00:21:33Men from the palace are here with gifts.
00:21:35They say it's the grand return gift from Lady Clara.
00:21:37What?
00:21:47Squire Shaw, congratulations!
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?
00:21:56Lewis, were these really sent from the palace?
00:21:58The head unic 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.
00:22:24Our 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 Shaws, 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 Chuck 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
00:24:01and tell the whole town how you shame this family by 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'd 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,
00:24:50I should still be able to make it to the Shaw Manor in time.
00:24:53To the royal steady.
00:24:55Erika makes a very fair point.
00:24:57Do as your sister says.
00:24:59Just because I married Luke,
00:25:01you 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,
00:25:11unlike you marrying a beggar and disgracing our family.
00:25:14Disgracing you?
00:25:15It's just because Erika married into a rich family
00:25:17that 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,
00:25:28your daughters are nothing but pawns
00:25:29used to gain power and influence.
00:25:31How dare you!
00:25:32You completely forget your place!
00:25:36The 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,
00:25:54where 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
00:26:04could 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,
00:26:10you think you own everything?
00:26:11Is Luke not allowed to have nice things?
00:26:13Huh!
00:26:14Treasuring a beggar's garbage
00:26:15like it's some precious prize!
00:26:17It's strange, though.
00:26:18You've been out here for so long,
00:26:20yet 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,
00:26:29but you must sever all ties
00:26:31with this family first.
00:26:32What?
00:26:32Father!
00:26:33Are you really going to let Erica
00:26:35get away with this?
00:26:36I'm your daughter, too!
00:26:37You insisted on marrying that beggar
00:26:39and humiliated my family name!
00:26:41From this moment on,
00:26:42Erica's my only daughter!
00:26:48In this life,
00:26:49I only wish to be with someone
00:26:50who loves me truly.
00:26:52Even a simple, poor life
00:26:54is better than enduring
00:26:55your cold contempt.
00:26:58If that's your choice,
00:27:00then from this day forward...
00:27:04I, Claire Shaw,
00:27:05hereby sever all ties with the Shaws!
00:27:07We are done!
00:27:13For a filthy beggar,
00:27:15you 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?
00:27:22Why should I stay here and suffer?
00:27:27Give me the pendant!
00:27:28Not so fast!
00:27:30Someone,
00:27:30bring the hot coals from the kitchen,
00:27:32spread them on the ground!
00:27:33What are you doing?
00:27:41Greetings,
00:27:42your majesty!
00:27:44Who sent you?
00:27:45I am Wendy Zane,
00:27:46daughter of Hunter Zane,
00:27:47the Prime Minister.
00:27:48The Empress Dowager ordered me
00:27:50to attend to your majesty.
00:27:51I'm busy with state affairs.
00:27:52Leave.
00:27:53Your majesty!
00:27:55Something 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,
00:28:03the Shaws trapped in
00:28:04and humiliated her.
00:28:05They forced her to kneel!
00:28:07What?!
00:28:08Your majesty,
00:28:09please come down!
00:28:10Summon the Imperial Guard!
00:28:11We are going to the Shaw Manor!
00:28:13Your majesty,
00:28:14where are you going?
00:28:14The Empress Dowager said...
00:28:16Yeah!
00:28:17Ah!
00:28:29Your life and your body
00:28:30belong to your parents.
00:28:32You want to sever ties?
00:28:33Then pay back your debt
00:28:34to them first.
00:28:35Walk across this
00:28:36and you will have your wish.
00:28:39No.
00:28:40These coals are burning so intensely.
00:28:41If I walk on them,
00:28:43I won't survive.
00:28:43I won't do it.
00:28:44Oh?
00:28:45I guess
00:28:46you don't want
00:28:47your precious jade back.
00:28:49Don't throw it!
00:28:54Luke is the only person
00:28:55who truly loves me
00:28:56in this world.
00:28:56That pendant was left
00:28:57by his own parents.
00:28:58I will never let them
00:28:59destroy his only gift.
00:29:01Fine.
00:29:02I'll do it.
00:29:26For a beggar,
00:29:28you'd really go this far!
00:29:29You've completely
00:29:30lost your mind!
00:29:31Yah!
00:29:34A worthless piece of jade
00:29:36makes our spoiled girl
00:29:37gladly walk on burning coals.
00:29:39No wonder she was dumb enough
00:29:40to throw her life away
00:29:41on a beggar.
00:29:42After all,
00:29:43a beggar has nothing
00:29:44of value to offer.
00:29:45No wonder Clara
00:29:45cherishes it so much.
00:29:47I don't have much
00:29:48to have for you right now.
00:29:49This jade pendant
00:29:50was left to me
00:29:51by my father.
00:29:52Now,
00:29:53I want you to have it.
00:30:02Luke,
00:30:03I will get that pendant back.
00:30:16She actually made it
00:30:18all the way.
00:30:23Now,
00:30:26will you give me
00:30:27my pendant back?
00:30:28You want it?
00:30:29Then you'll have
00:30:30to get it yourself.
00:30:32If you dare to take it,
00:30:34this jade pendant
00:30:35is yours.
00:30:53You really treat it
00:30:54like a treasure.
00:30:55I...
00:31:15found it.
00:31:16I finally found it.
00:31:20You cherish
00:31:21your pathetic love
00:31:22for that filthy beggar
00:31:23so much.
00:31:26If you were disfigured,
00:31:27do you think
00:31:28your beloved husband
00:31:29would still want you?
00:31:30No!
00:31:31Why are you glaring
00:31:32at me like that?
00:31:33I warned you long ago
00:31:34the fate of marrying
00:31:35a beggar has only one outcome,
00:31:37to be trampled on
00:31:37by everyone.
00:31:38You go to such cruel lengths
00:31:39to torture me,
00:31:40but do you really
00:31:41think you'll win?
00:31:47What I want is for you
00:31:48to spend the rest
00:31:49of your life
00:31:49hiding away
00:31:50in the darkest gutters.
00:31:52Forced to watch me
00:31:53like a rat
00:31:53as I become
00:31:54the most powerful woman
00:31:55in the world.
00:32:01Master!
00:32:02Master!
00:32:03The em...
00:32:03The emperor's here!
00:32:05What did you say?
00:32:06The emperor!
00:32:18The emperor!
00:32:23Clara!
00:32:35The emperor!
00:32:43Clara, Clara, I'm sorry I'm late
00:32:48Luke, I didn't lose the jade pendant you gave me
00:32:54I thought the emperor was coming, why is it him?
00:32:58That filthy beggar, how can he afford such fine clothes?
00:33:01And look at those men, aren't those the palace guards?
00:33:05Why are they following a beggar?
00:33:07Mother, I heard his brother used to work in the palace, stealing a few uniforms would be easy
00:33:12He must have lost face at the wedding last time, so he's here to put on a show
00:33:16The palace has been plagued by thefts lately, could it be their doing?
00:33:21What a joke, a filthy beggar dares to put on an act into my manner
00:33:24Clara, look at this loser you married, being worthless is one thing, but now just for pride he actually dares
00:33:30to steal from the emperor
00:33:32If the emperor finds out, you will both pay with your lives
00:33:35Utter foolish, you're asking for it
00:33:41What, what do you think you're doing?
00:33:44Clara, what's wrong?
00:33:46It hurts
00:33:58Which one of you did this?
00:33:59It was me, what 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, such 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
00:34:25She'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
00:34:51You filthy beggar
00:34:52How dare you touch my wife
00:34:54You must have a death wish
00:34:56Scoundrel
00:34:57Lord Abos is a royal relative
00:34:59If you harm him, you make an enemy of the entire Miller family
00:35:03So what if he's royalty?
00:35:05Anyone who harms my people
00:35:06Pays with their life
00:35:09You filthy beggar
00:35:10You're taking this act too far
00:35:11Before I lose my temper
00:35:13Let 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!
00:35:26I'm sure I'm calm
00:35:27Father!
00:35:28Do something!
00:35:30You dare touch me?
00:35:31Once the high court guards arrive
00:35:33You'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
00:35:42If you harm me
00:35:44You won't get out of this alive
00:35:47Then I'd like to see
00:35:50Who in the high court
00:35:51Would dare to indulge your arrogance
00:35:54Do it now!
00:35:58Let go of me!
00:36:00Let me go!
00:36:01You imbecile!
00:36:02If you want to die
00:36:03Don'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
00:36:32So you're the one laying your hand on my brother
00:36:34Insolent
00:36:36What if I am
00:36:37That voice
00:36:40You're
00:36:46You carry quite an arrogant authority
00:36:50Your majesty!
00:36:51Your majesty?
00:36:55Your majesty?
00:36:57This filthy beggar
00:36:58How 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
00:37:04And he used his money to bribe these people
00:37:06You just started your job
00:37:08So a mistake is normal
00:37:09But 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
00:37:15Of 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!
00:37:22Look at this loser you married!
00:37:23Now that you've crossed Lord Amos
00:37:24Let's see how you survive this!
00:37:26My lord!
00:37:27You must seek justice for us!
00:37:28This beggar and Clara have lost their minds
00:37:30Trying to slaughter their own family!
00:37:33How outrageous!
00:37:34In the heart of the capital
00:37:35How dare you act so recklessly?
00:37:36Guards!
00:37:37Drag them into the high court dungeons
00:37:39And torture them for confessions!
00:37:42Stop!
00:37:44Do you have something else to say?
00:37:46I wasn't aware that you were now
00:37:47Deputy Chief Justice
00:37:48You'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
00:37:58Your Miller family truly is audacious
00:38:00Your Majesty!
00:38:02You must seek justice for me!
00:38:04The emperor left the palace
00:38:05And marry the eldest Shaw daughter
00:38:07Because of that woman
00:38:08His Majesty even lost his temper with me!
00:38:10What?
00:38:11You're saying the emperor?
00:38:12Ah!
00:38:13Actually 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!
00:38:33My lord, we have always followed the rules
00:38:34We would never dare disrespect royalty
00:38:36Please clear our name!
00:38:38Yes, 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
00:38:44Your 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!
00:39:05Guard!
00:39:06Stop them!
00:39:10Anyone who gets in my way
00:39:12Dies
00:39:12Yes, sire!
00:39:26You won't get away so easily
00:39:39Luke!
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?
00:39:52That 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!
00:40:17You think he can leave?
00:40:17Why 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
00:40:24But the more you have it, the more I want to destroy your happiness
00:40:28This is between you and me, we shouldn't drag an innocent man into it
00:40:33Do 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
00:40:47Since you two are so deeply in love
00:40:49Then I don't mind sending you off together
00:40:53Die!
00:40:53Die!
00:41:01The Empress Dowager has arrived!
00:41:12Who dare harm my son?
00:41:15Greetings, your majesty!
00:41:19He really is...
00:41:21The Emperor...
00:41:27Physician!
00:41:28Go get a physician!
00:41:29Your majesty!
00:41:31I 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!
00:41:55Ah!
00:41:58Y-y-y-y-y-your majesty!
00:42:01Impossible!
00:42:03How could he be the Emperor?
00:42:05I clearly played 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!
00:42:31I know I was wrong!
00:42:32When 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.
00:42:56Throw him and Amos to the High Court Dungeons!
00:42:59What?
00:43:00Your majesty!
00:43:01I have made a grave mistake!
00:43:04But 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!
00:43:13Please show mercy, your majesty!
00:43:15My son.
00:43:15Although 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, are you alright?
00:43:37Are you hurt?
00:43:39I'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?
00:44:07I 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.
00:44:34What 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.
00:44:42So the Empress Dowager had him locked up.
00:44:44Your sister was sent to the discipline ward to do hard labor.
00:44:47As 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.
00:45:10That's wonderful.
00:45:11Now that we both have a secure living, we can work here for a few years,
00:45:15and then leave this palace together and live a simple life.
00:45:18All right.
00:45:22Clara, I hope you can forgive me.
00:45:29This 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.
00:45:56You 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?
00:46:12Oh, 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.
00:46:21So 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.
00:47:22Yes.
00:47:37Jenny!
00:47:38You!
00:47:39I...
00:47:39It was an accident!
00:47:40Seize 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.
00:48:00No 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,
00:48:10it defeats a purpose.
00:48:13The palace rules are strict.
00:48:14I was only gone for a moment,
00:48:16yet 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,
00:48:32you 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!
00:49:05I truly had no idea that it belonged to the emperor!
00:49:07Madam, please don't be fooled by her lies.
00:49:09She dared to steal from the emperor himself.
00:49:10Who knows what other brazen things she'll do.
00:49:13Palace laws explicitly state
00:49:16that stealing any royal property
00:49:18warrants severe branding and mutilation.
00:49:21I will personally investigate this matter.
00:49:24Until this matter resolved,
00:49:26I'll be keeping the pendant safe.
00:49:27If you really are innocent,
00:49:29I'll make sure you're cleared.
00:49:32Get up.
00:49:34Thank you, madam.
00:49:37This is our new manager,
00:49:38Madam Watson.
00:49:39From now on,
00:49:39she will work with me
00:49:40to oversee the palace attendance.
00:49:42Madam!
00:49:43All of you, listen up.
00:49:45Anyone caught slacking off
00:49:47will be punished without mercy.
00:49:49Yes, madam.
00:49:50As for your assault on a fellow maid,
00:49:52you are reassigned
00:49:54to clean the toilets.
00:49:58You will not eat a single bite
00:49:59until the job is entirely finished.
00:50:02Yes, madam.
00:50:06And here I thought you were someone special.
00:50:09Weren't you supposedly an expert
00:50:10at seducing men?
00:50:11How did you still get punished?
00:50:15Let's see if you ever dare
00:50:16to act so arrogant around us again.
00:50:34Isn't that so much better?
00:50:39Your majesty,
00:50:41Lady 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,
00:50:50you'll give me away.
00:50:51I will take my leave at once.
00:50:54All done.
00:50:55I'm amazing.
00:50:57Clara!
00:50:58Luke, what 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
00:51:14it belongs to the Emperor?
00:51:17I...
00:51:19My father graduated top
00:51:21of the Imperial exams
00:51:22to encourage future scholars.
00:51:25The Emperor personally bestowed
00:51:26this 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
00:51:31the Emperor.
00:51:32And I thought you were lying to me.
00:51:35Who's there?
00:51:36It's the Madam.
00:51:37You have to go now.
00:51:38I'm on duty serving
00:51:39the Emperor tomorrow.
00:51:39I'll find a chance
00:51:40to see you then.
00:51:41Okay.
00:51:45Madams,
00:51:46I have finished cleaning
00:51:47all the toilets.
00:51:48You're done?
00:51:50Then you can clean
00:51:51the entire backyard.
00:51:55Yes, Madam.
00:52:01Finally done sweeping.
00:52:09What gives you the right
00:52:10to throw my stuff away?
00:52:13Madam Watson personally ordered you
00:52:15to deliver her medicine
00:52:16by dawn tomorrow.
00:52:17She also explicitly stated
00:52:18that the herbs must be brewed
00:52:20with the fresh dew
00:52:20so you'll wait outside tonight.
00:52:22Fresh dew?
00:52:23That's right.
00:52:24Fresh dew.
00:52:25Everyone here is a witness
00:52:26so don't say I'm lying.
00:52:28Why is Madam
00:52:28only targeting me?
00:52:31Regarding the stolen pendant,
00:52:33Madam Watson was already
00:52:34merciful enough
00:52:34not to lock you up.
00:52:36She's only asking you
00:52:36to 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?
00:52:52Who 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
00:53:00can 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?
00:53:15Why is Lucas here?
00:53:17Could he be...
00:53:18You have a death wish!
00:53:20Ah!
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?
00:53:33You must not reveal
00:53:34your identity to her.
00:53:37I meant no offense.
00:53:39I merely saw someone
00:53:40getting hurt
00:53:40and rushed over to help.
00:53:41He's not the Emperor.
00:53:43Then why was Lucas
00:53:44treating 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
00:53:54like His Majesty.
00:53:55The Emperor only wished
00:53:56to question him.
00:53:57He is new
00:53:57and doesn't know the rules.
00:53:58He doesn't know
00:53:58the 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
00:54:04with Iris.
00:54:05And I worried
00:54:06this young guard.
00:54:06Since you know
00:54:07you were wrong,
00:54:08get out of here now!
00:54:10Thank you, Madam.
00:54:15Your Majesty!
00:54:16Just now,
00:54:17I truly had
00:54:17no other choice!
00:54:21Go watch over things.
00:54:23Don't let my mother
00:54:24blame Clara for this.
00:54:25Yes, Your Majesty.
00:54:27Lucas!
00:54:34Madam Wind?
00:54:35Is there something else,
00:54:37Lucas?
00:54:38Uh, no.
00:54:39Not at all.
00:54:39Nothing.
00:54:44As for you...
00:54:48I wonder who is
00:54:49backing her
00:54:50from the shadows.
00:54:51Fooling around
00:54:52with a guard
00:54:52is a major scandal,
00:54:53yet Madam Watson
00:54:54only made her kneel.
00:54:56You've got a point.
00:54:58Even that stolen
00:54:59pendant business
00:55:00was completely
00:55:00swept under the rug.
00:55:03Tell me,
00:55:05if the Emperor
00:55:05finds out
00:55:06that someone
00:55:07stole his
00:55:07personal pendant,
00:55:08how will he
00:55:09destroy her?
00:55:11No.
00:55:18I'm still worried
00:55:19Mother will
00:55:20blame Clara.
00:55:23Then,
00:55:23perhaps I should...
00:55:25Your Majesty,
00:55:27a maid is
00:55:27seeking an audience.
00:55:36Ah!
00:55:37Ah!
00:55:38Ah!
00:55:38Ah!
00:55:59My face!
00:56:01You foolish girl!
00:56:03What did you put
00:56:04in this bowl?
00:56:05I...
00:56:05I got a secret
00:56:06remedy from
00:56:06a Taoist priest.
00:56:08He said eating it
00:56:08will rejuvenate
00:56:09the skin.
00:56:12I only wanted
00:56:13what was best
00:56:13for you.
00:56:14I wasn't thinking
00:56:15straight.
00:56:15You dared serve
00:56:16someone something
00:56:17from an unknown
00:56:17source?
00:56:18What on earth
00:56:19were you thinking?
00:56:20I'll never do it
00:56:21again.
00:56:22I'll never do it
00:56:23again.
00:56:27Thankfully,
00:56:27it's just an
00:56:28allergic reaction,
00:56:29not life-threatening.
00:56:30But these rashes
00:56:30on your face
00:56:31won't clear up
00:56:31anytime soon.
00:56:32Guards!
00:56:33Drag her away!
00:56:35Sell her out
00:56:35to a slave trader!
00:56:37Madam,
00:56:38please spare me!
00:56:46Madam,
00:56:47please let me
00:56:48try to help.
00:56:48You?
00:56:49I have studied
00:56:50medical texts.
00:56:51A special herbal
00:56:52formula might be
00:56:52able to soothe
00:56:53the rashes on
00:56:53your face.
00:56:55If my remedy
00:56:56works,
00:56:56I beg you
00:56:57to spare
00:56:58Jenny's life.
00:57:04The emperor
00:57:05has been
00:57:05ignoring me
00:57:06for a very
00:57:07long time.
00:57:08Yet he finds
00:57:09time for the
00:57:09palace
00:57:10attendants.
00:57:11Who exactly
00:57:12is staying
00:57:12there to keep
00:57:14him so
00:57:14distracted?
00:57:16It wasn't me!
00:57:18I wouldn't dare
00:57:19seduce the emperor
00:57:19even if my life
00:57:20depended on it!
00:57:22Wait,
00:57:23I remember
00:57:23now someone
00:57:24in the palace
00:57:24attendants
00:57:25actually has
00:57:26that kind
00:57:26of audacity!
00:57:28Clara Shaw,
00:57:30if she is led
00:57:31to believe
00:57:31that you are
00:57:32the one seducing
00:57:32the emperor,
00:57:33let's see how
00:57:34you survive
00:57:34her wrath.
00:57:37You only need
00:57:38to wait 12 hours,
00:57:39Madam.
00:57:40The rash
00:57:40on your face
00:57:40will be gone.
00:57:44It looks
00:57:45a bit hideous,
00:57:46but it seems
00:57:47the rash
00:57:47has faded a bit.
00:57:49I suppose
00:57:50you do have
00:57:50some skill.
00:57:51Thank you
00:57:52for your kind
00:57:52words.
00:58:04If it weren't
00:58:05for you today,
00:58:06you can hit me
00:58:07or yell at me.
00:58:08I'll take it.
00:58:09Why would I
00:58:10yell at you?
00:58:12So you
00:58:13forgive me?
00:58:14I guess
00:58:14you're not so bad.
00:58:16You just
00:58:16have a vicious
00:58:17tongue.
00:58:21Your majesty,
00:58:23I believe
00:58:24the emperor's
00:58:24desire to marry
00:58:25Lady Clara
00:58:26is not some
00:58:27reckless whim.
00:58:29Lady Clara
00:58:30is indeed
00:58:30quite remarkable.
00:58:40That's her!
00:58:51you're the one
00:58:51seducing
00:58:52the emperor.
00:58:56What a temptress.
00:58:58No wonder
00:58:58you can't behave.
00:58:59It's bad enough
00:59:00the emperor
00:59:00found someone
00:59:01to marry
00:59:01outside the palace.
00:59:03But since
00:59:04when
00:59:04do you
00:59:05filthy
00:59:06worldly servants
00:59:06get to have
00:59:06such disgusting
00:59:07ideas?
00:59:08Yes!
00:59:13When did
00:59:14Clara ever
00:59:15seduce
00:59:15the emperor?
00:59:17Jenny,
00:59:19have you
00:59:19already forgotten
00:59:20how Clara
00:59:21treated you
00:59:21before?
00:59:24Clara never
00:59:25once started
00:59:25anything with
00:59:26me.
00:59:27You are the
00:59:27one looking
00:59:28for a fight.
00:59:31Jenny!
00:59:34Do you
00:59:35have any
00:59:36idea who
00:59:36I am
00:59:37acting so
00:59:37recklessly
00:59:38in my
00:59:38presence?
00:59:39Standing
00:59:39before you
00:59:40is the
00:59:41prime minister's
00:59:41daughter,
00:59:42Lady Wendy.
00:59:43She is
00:59:43chosen by
00:59:44the
00:59:44empress
00:59:44dowager
00:59:44to be
00:59:45empress.
00:59:46You
00:59:46mindless
00:59:47fool.
00:59:48How dare
00:59:48you cross
00:59:49Lady Wendy?
00:59:50As the
00:59:51prime minister's
00:59:52daughter,
00:59:53you must
00:59:53be reasonable.
00:59:54I truly
00:59:55never did
00:59:55anything to
00:59:56seduce
00:59:56the emperor.
00:59:57Please
00:59:57let us
00:59:58go.
00:59:59Let
00:59:59you
01:00:00go?

01:00:02you not
01:00:02only seduced
01:00:03the emperor,
01:00:04but also
01:00:04threw yourself

01:00:08face!
01:00:15Salt!

01:00:19palace
01:00:19attendants
01:00:19belong to
01:00:20the
01:00:20harem.
01:00:21Since when
01:00:22is it your
01:00:22place to
01:00:23interfere?
01:00:24an old
01:00:25hag like
01:00:26you
01:00:26dares to
01:00:27raise her
01:00:27voice to
01:00:27me?
01:00:29What?
01:00:30How dare
01:00:30you?
01:00:31Lady Wendy,
01:00:32the harem is
01:00:32ruled by the
01:00:33emperor and
01:00:33the empress
01:00:34dowager.
01:00:34Punishing
01:00:35servants on
01:00:35your own
01:00:35violates
01:00:36palace
01:00:36regulations.
01:00:37Please
01:00:38show some
01:00:38mercy,
01:00:39Lady Wendy.
01:00:41The
01:00:41emperor and
01:00:41I are
01:00:42childhood
01:00:42sweethearts,
01:00:43and I am
01:00:43the only
01:00:44choice for
01:00:44empress.
01:00:45This entire
01:00:46harm will
01:00:46be mine
01:00:47sooner or
01:00:47later.
01:00:47What does
01:00:48it matter
01:00:48if I
01:00:49destroy a
01:00:49worthless
01:00:49me?
01:00:50Ridiculous!
01:00:51You're
01:00:52nothing but
01:00:53a lowly
01:00:53servant
01:00:54yourself.
01:00:54If I
01:00:55don't teach
01:00:55you a
01:00:56lesson,
01:00:56you'll
01:00:57never learn
01:00:57your place.
01:00:58Hold
01:00:59this old
01:00:59hag down
01:01:00for me.
01:01:00Iris,
01:01:01how dare
01:01:01you?
01:01:04I never
01:01:05knew you
01:01:05were so
01:01:06wicked.
01:01:06I was
01:01:07completely
01:01:07blind about
01:01:08you.
01:01:13Huh?
01:01:15Huh?
01:01:16Huh?
01:01:17Huh?
01:01:18Huh?
01:01:18Huh?
01:01:19A
01:01:19disfigured
01:01:20old
01:01:20hag of
01:01:21a
01:01:21slave
01:01:21putting
01:01:22on
01:01:22royal
01:01:23heirs?
01:01:24He
01:01:24must
01:01:24have
01:01:24a
01:01:25death
01:01:25wish.
01:01:26But you
01:01:26still
01:01:27don't
01:01:27know
01:01:27what
01:01:27you
01:01:27did
01:01:28wrong?
01:01:28What did
01:01:29I do
01:01:29wrong?
01:01:31You can
01:01:32only blame
01:01:33your lowly
01:01:33birth,
01:01:34destined to

01:01:35servants
01:01:35in the
01:01:36palace,
01:01:37defying
01:01:37your
01:01:37masters
01:01:38as
01:01:38asking
01:01:39to
01:01:39die.
01:01:40What?
01:01:41Bring
01:01:41me my
01:01:42whip.
01:01:44As the
01:01:45head of
01:01:45the palace
01:01:45attendants,
01:01:46you let
01:01:47your mate
01:01:47seduce
01:01:47the emperor,
01:01:48like
01:01:48master,
01:01:49like servant.
01:01:50Your crime
01:01:50is unforgivable.
01:01:58Next month
01:01:59marks the return
01:01:59of our annual
01:02:00spring gala.
01:02:01All the high
01:02:01nobility of the
01:02:02realm will be
01:02:02attending.
01:02:03We must prepare
01:02:04flawlessly.
01:02:05Rest assured,
01:02:06I will spare
01:02:07no effort,
01:02:07your majesty.
01:02:08majesty.
01:02:10You insolent
01:02:11servant,
01:02:11how dare you
01:02:12to serve
01:02:12his majesty?
01:02:13Do you
01:02:13admit your
01:02:13guilt?
01:02:14His majesty?
01:02:15Your majesty!
01:02:17Greetings,
01:02:17your majesty.
01:02:18I beg you to
01:02:19return to the
01:02:19palace
01:02:20attendance and
01:02:20save Clara
01:02:21Shaw.
01:02:21What did
01:02:22you say?
01:02:22Clara is in
01:02:23danger.
01:02:31What were
01:02:32you doing?
01:02:34Lady Wendy
01:02:35is after me.
01:02:36I cannot let
01:02:37you be punished
01:02:38for absolutely
01:02:39no reason.
01:02:43How touching.
01:02:44Since you love
01:02:45playing the
01:02:45martyr,
01:02:46I will gladly
01:02:47grant your
01:02:47wish.
01:02:48Enough,
01:02:49Wendy Saint.
01:02:49I advise you
01:02:50not to push
01:02:50this too far.
01:02:52Or else...
01:02:53Still putting
01:02:53on royal
01:02:53airs?
01:02:54You arrogant,
01:02:55brainless slave.
01:02:56I will teach you
01:02:57your place today
01:02:57on behalf of
01:02:58the crown.
01:02:59Stop!
01:03:04Your majesty!
01:03:06Wendy Zane,
01:03:07do you have
01:03:07any idea
01:03:08who you are
01:03:08striking?
01:03:10Greetings,
01:03:11your majesty!
01:03:12Greetings,
01:03:13your majesty!
01:03:14How could
01:03:15she be the
01:03:15Empress Dowager?
01:03:20Greetings,
01:03:21your majesty!
01:03:25How could
01:03:25this be?
01:03:26The Empress
01:03:27Dowager was
01:03:27merely testing
01:03:28you.
01:03:28But look
01:03:29at you.
01:03:29So arrogant
01:03:30and presumptuous.
01:03:31You actually
01:03:32dared to insult
01:03:32the Empress Dowager
01:03:33herself.
01:03:34Your majesty,
01:03:35I didn't mean
01:03:35to do it.
01:03:36I beg you
01:03:37to play
01:03:37with your
01:03:37mother on
01:03:38my behalf.
01:03:39Your majesty?
01:03:43I believe
01:03:44this is a
01:03:45grave matter.
01:03:45It directly
01:03:46insults
01:03:46her majesty's
01:03:47dignity.
01:03:47Please judge
01:03:48this carefully,
01:03:48your majesty.
01:03:49Me?
01:03:49me.
01:03:58Exactly.
01:04:00You...
01:04:01Your majesty?
01:04:02You still
01:04:03refuse to
01:04:03admit your
01:04:03fault?
01:04:04I admit
01:04:04my fault,
01:04:05your majesty.
01:04:06I should
01:04:06never have
01:04:07ranted so
01:04:07shamelessly
01:04:08before you.
01:04:08None of
01:04:09those words
01:04:09reflected my
01:04:09true intent.
01:04:10It is all
01:04:11this maid's
01:04:11fault.
01:04:12She claimed
01:04:12a maid was
01:04:13seducing the
01:04:13emperor,
01:04:14which was
01:04:14why I lost
01:04:14my temper.
01:04:15Lady Wendy,
01:04:16you were
01:04:17the one
01:04:17who ordered...
01:04:18If this
01:04:18wretched slave
01:04:19hadn't
01:04:19manipulated me,
01:04:20how could
01:04:20I have
01:04:20made such
01:04:20a terrible
01:04:21mistake?
01:04:23Your majesty,
01:04:24I am
01:04:25innocent.
01:04:26Innocent,
01:04:27my foot.
01:04:27You instigated
01:04:28us to
01:04:29torment Clara.
01:04:30You also
01:04:30spread the
01:04:30rumor about
01:04:31the emperor.
01:04:32How dare
01:04:32you,
01:04:32Jenny,
01:04:33kicking me
01:04:33while I'm
01:04:34down?
01:04:34That's
01:04:34enough.
01:04:38The maid
01:04:39Iris has
01:04:39spread malicious
01:04:40rumors and
01:04:40violated palace
01:04:41laws.
01:04:42Drag her
01:04:42out and
01:04:42sell her
01:04:43off immediately.
01:04:44Please show
01:04:44mercy,
01:04:44your majesty.
01:04:45I'm truly
01:04:45innocent.
01:04:46Clara Shaw,
01:04:47I saw you
01:04:48flirting with
01:04:49that young
01:04:49guard.
01:04:50I didn't
01:04:50make up
01:04:50any rumors.
01:04:55So,
01:04:56you're the
01:04:57eldest Shaw
01:04:57daughter.
01:05:10Clara.
01:05:13Luke,
01:05:14the
01:05:14empress
01:05:14dowager
01:05:15didn't
01:05:15punish you,
01:05:16right?
01:05:16Of course
01:05:17not.
01:05:17She wanted
01:05:18to discuss
01:05:18the spring
01:05:19gala with
01:05:19me.
01:05:19She asked
01:05:20for my
01:05:20opinion.
01:05:23That's a
01:05:23relief.
01:05:28What is it?
01:05:31Clara passed
01:05:32the test.
01:05:35In that case,
01:05:36can I finally
01:05:37tell her the
01:05:38truth and
01:05:38make her my
01:05:39empress?
01:05:40There's no need
01:05:41to rush the
01:05:41coronation.
01:05:42The spring
01:05:42gala is next
01:05:43month and
01:05:44next month and
01:05:44the Ministry
01:05:44of Rights
01:05:45is too busy
01:05:45to organize
01:05:46another grand
01:05:46event.
01:05:47Besides,
01:05:48it's a
01:05:48four too
01:05:49sudden.
01:05:49I'm worried
01:05:50the court
01:05:50officials will
01:05:51object.
01:05:57Then I
01:05:57suggest we let
01:05:59Clara put her in
01:06:00charge of the
01:06:01spring gala.
01:06:02If she manages to
01:06:03pull off this
01:06:04banquet, it will
01:06:05not only prove her
01:06:06worth, but also
01:06:07silence anyone who
01:06:08opposes her title.
01:06:09Empress Dowager
01:06:10wants you to run
01:06:11the spring gala.
01:06:13Me?
01:06:15But I wouldn't
01:06:16know where to
01:06:16start.
01:06:17Don't worry.
01:06:17With your talents,
01:06:18you are more than
01:06:19capable.
01:06:20I will back you
01:06:21up from the
01:06:21shadows.
01:06:28Move your lazy
01:06:29asses!
01:06:30If anyone tries to
01:06:31slack off, my whip
01:06:32won't show any
01:06:33mercy!
01:06:39Useless!
01:06:39Do you still
01:06:40think you're some
01:06:40wealthy lady?
01:06:41You're in the
01:06:42discipline ward now.
01:06:43No one slacks off
01:06:44on my watch!
01:06:52Clara Shaw, this is
01:06:54all your fault!
01:06:55Get in there!
01:06:56Get your hands
01:06:57off me!
01:06:57I'm the prime
01:06:58minister's daughter!
01:06:58You better show me
01:06:59some respect!
01:07:00The prime
01:07:00minister's daughter?
01:07:02In my past life,
01:07:03Amos was promoted
01:07:04by the Empress Dowager
01:07:05during the spring
01:07:05gala.
01:07:06If I can get out
01:07:07of this hellhole
01:07:07and ensure Amos
01:07:08shows up at the
01:07:09spring gala, we
01:07:09will definitely
01:07:10turn the tables.
01:07:15What a shithole!
01:07:16I can't believe I
01:07:17have to do my
01:07:17own laundry!
01:07:18Lady Wendy, I
01:07:20have a favor to
01:07:20ask.
01:07:21Ask me for help?
01:07:22And why would I
01:07:23help you?
01:07:25If I weren't in
01:07:26this mess, you
01:07:27wouldn't even be
01:07:28allowed to speak
01:07:29to me.
01:07:32My sister
01:07:33Clara Shaw
01:07:33is the reason
01:07:34I'm locked up
01:07:34here.
01:07:35If you're
01:07:35willing to
01:07:36help me
01:07:36escape, I
01:07:37will do
01:07:37anything to
01:07:37repay you!
01:07:40Clara Shaw?
01:07:44Very well
01:07:45done.
01:07:45The event
01:07:46schedule is
01:07:47crystal clear.
01:07:47You clearly
01:07:48put your
01:07:48heart into
01:07:49it.
01:07:52Leaving this
01:07:52gala to you
01:07:53turned out to
01:07:54be an excellent
01:07:54choice.
01:07:56Your
01:07:56Majesty
01:07:57Disaster
01:07:57has struck.
01:07:58The
01:07:58Discipline
01:07:58Ward has
01:07:59cut fire!
01:07:59What?
01:08:02Clara,
01:08:03come with me
01:08:04immediately to
01:08:05the Discipline
01:08:05Ward.
01:08:16Excuse me,
01:08:17Nate, what's
01:08:17the situation
01:08:18inside?
01:08:18Fire raised
01:08:19the entire
01:08:19yard.
01:08:20Nearly half
01:08:20of the prisoners
01:08:21didn't make it
01:08:22out alive.
01:08:22But Wendy
01:08:23have already.
01:08:28your
01:08:28Majesty.
01:08:30Greetings,
01:08:30your
01:08:30Majesty.
01:08:31Greetings,
01:08:32your
01:08:32Majesty.
01:08:33At least
01:08:34you're alive.
01:08:34At least
01:08:34I can face
01:08:35your father
01:08:36now.
01:08:37I have
01:08:37realized my
01:08:38mistake.
01:08:39Please
01:08:39spare me
01:08:39for my
01:08:40punishment.
01:08:40I swear
01:08:41I cannot
01:08:42survive
01:08:42another day
01:08:43here.
01:08:43Fine.
01:08:44Given
01:08:45your defiant
01:08:45nature,
01:08:46keeping you
01:08:46locked up
01:08:47here is
01:08:47completely
01:08:47pointless
01:08:48anyway.
01:08:49I also
01:08:50beg your
01:08:51majesty to
01:08:51grant a
01:08:51reward to
01:08:52Erica Shaw.
01:08:53I only
01:08:53survived this
01:08:54horrific fire
01:08:54because she
01:08:55risked her
01:08:55like to
01:08:55save me.
01:08:56I
01:08:57recall
01:08:57Erica and
01:08:58Clara's
01:08:58sisters.
01:08:59Clara,
01:09:00how should
01:09:00I reward
01:09:00her?
01:09:01Erica is
01:09:02indeed my
01:09:02sister,
01:09:03but we
01:09:04were never
01:09:04close growing
01:09:05up.
01:09:05Our bond
01:09:06is quite
01:09:06shallow.
01:09:07I shouldn't
01:09:07interfere with
01:09:08her fate.
01:09:08I leave it
01:09:09entirely to
01:09:09your judgment.
01:09:11Your
01:09:11majesty,
01:09:12I believe
01:09:13Erica has
01:09:13a good
01:09:14heart.
01:09:14Her
01:09:14past
01:09:15crimes
01:09:15might be
01:09:15a
01:09:15misunderstanding.
01:09:17Very
01:09:17well.
01:09:18She's
01:09:18been in
01:09:19the
01:09:19discipline
01:09:19ward for
01:09:20quite some
01:09:20time now.
01:09:21I suppose
01:09:22she has
01:09:22changed a
01:09:22little.
01:09:23Then she
01:09:23may leave
01:09:24the
01:09:24discipline
01:09:24ward for
01:09:25you.
01:09:26Thank you
01:09:26for your
01:09:26mercy,
01:09:27your
01:09:27majesty.
01:09:29Wendy
01:09:29say,
01:09:30I may
01:09:30have
01:09:31waived
01:09:31your
01:09:31hard
01:09:31labor,
01:09:32but I
01:09:32never
01:09:33said you
01:09:33are free.
01:09:34Next
01:09:34month,
01:09:35we finalize
01:09:35a political
01:09:36marriage with
01:09:36the Northern
01:09:37Steppers.
01:09:37You shall
01:09:37go.
01:09:39What?
01:09:40A political
01:09:41marriage?
01:09:41You
01:09:42refuse?
01:09:43Or perhaps
01:09:43you'd prefer
01:09:44to run
01:09:44the
01:09:44discipline
01:09:44ward?
01:09:45No,
01:09:46your
01:09:46majesty.
01:09:47I will
01:09:48obey.
01:09:50Prepare
01:09:50my carriage.
01:09:52Your
01:09:52majesty,
01:09:53I would
01:09:53like a
01:09:54word with
01:09:54my
01:09:54sister.
01:09:58Clara
01:09:59Shaw,
01:09:59you didn't
01:10:00just ruin
01:10:01our parents
01:10:01and the
01:10:01Miller family.
01:10:02You also
01:10:03made me suffer
01:10:03like a dog
01:10:04in that
01:10:04living hell.
01:10:05I'll make
01:10:05you pay
01:10:05for
01:10:06everything.
01:10:07It seems
01:10:08you've already
01:10:08forgotten the
01:10:09agonizing pain
01:10:09from your
01:10:10wounds.
01:10:10If you
01:10:11hadn't
01:10:11constantly
01:10:11crossed
01:10:12me,
01:10:12you would
01:10:12never have
01:10:13ended up
01:10:13like this.
01:10:14In here,
01:10:15I thought
01:10:15you'd actually
01:10:16become a
01:10:16phoenix.
01:10:17Turns out
01:10:17you're still
01:10:18just a
01:10:18pheasant.
01:10:19It seems
01:10:20the emperor
01:10:21hasn't given
01:10:21you a title
01:10:22yet.
01:10:22What are
01:10:23you
01:10:23implying?
01:10:26Cut the
01:10:27act!

01:10:33has instructions
01:10:33for you.

01:10:41how long

01:15:50How is

01:15:58entire

01:15:59it's
01:16:00easier
01:16:00for

01:16:01Your
01:16:01majesty
01:16:01the

01:16:02is
01:16:02the
01:16:02banquet
01:16:02where are you
01:16:03going?
01:16:03The banquet
01:16:04is starting soon.
01:16:04Go change.
01:16:05The banquet
01:16:05awaits.
01:16:06In second thought
01:16:06I truly feel I must tell Clara the whole truth before it's too late.
01:16:10Go quickly and fetch Clara.
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 this gala was run.
01:16:22Even the empress dowager looked immensely pleased.
01:16:24That's good.
01:16:25Someone is waiting for you in the courtyard.
01:16:27Go on hurry.
01:16:28Who is it?
01:16:31Assassin!
01:16:32Protect the empress dowager!
01:16:35What happened inside?
01:16:36An assassin disguised as a dancer attacked the empress dowager.
01:16:39Fortunately lord aimless took a blade for her majesty.
01:16:42The assassin got away.
01:16:43What?
01:16:46Take her away.
01:16:49What are you doing?
01:16:50The empress dowager was attacked.
01:16:52We are ordered to arrest you and bring you to the high court for trial.
01:17:04I'm Clara Shaw.
01:17:05Greetings prime minister.
01:17:07Prime minister.
01:17:07She was the one in full charge of this entire gala.
01:17:10The palace is heavily guarded.
01:17:11Ordinary people cannot possibly enter.
01:17:13Clara must be conspiring with the assassins.
01:17:15The one who ruined Wendy'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?
01:17:23Every performer was thoroughly vetted.
01:17:25How the assassin got in, I 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, you were sneaking around with the guard.
01:17:33You obviously never cared about her majesty's safety at all.
01:17:36What?
01:17:37Is this true?
01:17:38I can testify to that.
01:17:39That guard is still in the courtyard.
01:17:41God!
01:17:41Seize that guard immediately!
01:17:43I demand an interrogation!
01:17:51Is that him?
01:17:53That's him exactly.
01:18:02Prime Minister, we have brought the man.
01:18:06Luke.
01:18:08Clarissade, you admit your guilt.
01:18:10I honestly knew nothing about it.
01:18:12Please, Prime Minister, just give me some time.
01:18:14I will get to the bottom of this.
01:18:16You 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 big men as dancers.
01:18:24This was clearly premediated.
01:18:26Regardless of whether she clanked them or not.
01:18:28He compromised her majesty's safety.
01:18:29For that, she must die.
01:18:30I never did.
01:18:31Prime Minister, please sentence them both.
01:18:34Please, Prime Minister.
01:18:36The security breach is my responsibility.
01:18:38Please do not implicate anyone else.
01:18:39If my husband hadn't reacted quickly and taken a blade for her majesty,
01:18:42not even ten of your heads would be enough to save you.
01:18:45I...
01:18:45Enough!
01:18:46Clara Shaw fooled around with a guard and risked her majesty's safety.
01:18:50Execute them both.
01:18:52Prime Minister, I beg you to retract the order.
01:18:56Luke.
01:18:57It's all my fault I got you into this.
01:19:00Clara Shaw.
01:19:02Let's see you get out of this one.
01:19:09I'd like to see who dares to touch her.
01:19:13Your...
01:19:14Your majesty!
01:19:16Long live your majesty!
01:19:24How could this be?
01:19:25Clara.
01:19:26I'm sorry.
01:19:28I lied to you.
01:19:30Greetings, your majesty!
01:19:32Long live the emperor!
01:19:35Clara, I...
01:19:36Your majesty!
01:19:37What on earth is going on?
01:19:38How dare you!
01:19:40You blindly trust a one-sided story,
01:19:42jump to conclusions,
01:19:43and sentence an innocent soul to death.
01:19:44With actions like these,
01:19:45how do you deserve to serve the crown?
01:19:48If I'm not mistaken,
01:19:49arresting me here was your idea, wasn't it?
01:19:52Seeing the Empress Dowager in peril,
01:19:54I acted out of pure desperation.
01:19:55I had no idea the man with Clara was indeed your majesty.
01:19:58Please forgive me, your majesty.
01:19:59I would never dare deceive you.
01:20:01My absolute loyalty to you is absolute...
01:20:03You're always working against Clara.
01:20:05If I weren't standing here today,
01:20:06you would have succeeded.
01:20:07That's not true.
01:20:08I never meant to harm Clara.
01:20:10I was merely terrified for the Empress Dowager's safety,
01:20:12which was why I lost my composure.
01:20:14Prime Minister, you know this.
01:20:15I truly didn't...
01:20:16That's enough, Erica.
01:20:17Don't say another word.
01:20:19Your majesty,
01:20:19the most important thing right now
01:20:21is handling this assassination attempt.
01:20:23I request your judgment to punish Clara Shaw.
01:20:25The truth hasn't been uncovered yet.
01:20:27What makes you so sure it was Clara?
01:20:29As the individual in charge of the Spring Gala,
01:20:31Clara allowed assassins to infiltrate the palace
01:20:34and strike the Empress Dowager.
01:20:35Her crime is punishable by death.
01:20:37Please decree immediately to throw her
01:20:38to the High Court for severe interrogation.
01:20:40The Prime Minister is right.
01:20:41If my husband hadn't been here today,
01:20:43the Empress Dowager might not have survived.
01:20:45Your majesty,
01:20:46my own safety is not important.
01:20:47But if Clara Shaw is left unpunished,
01:20:49who will secure the palace?
01:20:51Should such a horror strike again,
01:20:53I beg you to execute Clara Shaw.
01:20:56Hey, Miss Miller,
01:20:56look at you.
01:20:57You actually dare to force my hand.
01:21:01What if I can provide proof
01:21:03that Clara is innocent?
01:21:04Then what crime will you be guilty of?
01:21:06That's impossible.
01:21:10That's impossible.
01:21:13Hunter Zane,
01:21:14I'm asking you a question.
01:21:18If I have wrongly accused Clara Shaw today,
01:21:21then I will gladly accept the same punishment.
01:21:25Very well.
01:21:26Guards,
01:21:27bring him in.
01:21:33Your majesty is wise.
01:21:35By your imperial decree,
01:21:37I planted spies.
01:21:38The assassin's been caught.
01:21:40Mercy, your majesty.
01:21:41The plot against
01:21:42the Empress Dowager
01:21:42was masterminded by Erica and Amos.
01:21:45I was forced to do it.
01:21:46What?
01:21:47This is...
01:21:49It's all over.
01:21:53Hunter,
01:21:54don't think that I am blind to the fact
01:21:55that you only did this
01:21:56to avenge your daughter, Wendy.
01:21:57Since you wanted Clara dead,
01:21:59I shall grant you the same fate.
01:22:00Guards,
01:22:01take him away.
01:22:02Your majesty,
01:22:03I have served this empire
01:22:04faithfully for decades.
01:22:05Your majesty,
01:22:06how can you treat me like this?
01:22:08As for the rest of you,
01:22:09you blindly trusted a one-sided story,
01:22:11jumped to conclusions,
01:22:12and implicated the innocent.
01:22:13How do you deserve to serve the crown?
01:22:14Your majesty,
01:22:15we were wrong.
01:22:16You are all docked three months' pay.
01:22:17If this happens again,
01:22:18I will show no mercy.
01:22:20Thank you for your mercy,
01:22:21your majesty.
01:22:22Now,
01:22:22as for the two of you...
01:22:23Mercy,
01:22:24your majesty.
01:22:24It was her terrible idea.
01:22:26You're lying.
01:22:27Your majesty,
01:22:27I was only jealous of my sister Clara.
01:22:29I never meant to harm
01:22:30the Empress Dowager.
01:22:30The assassination flaw
01:22:31was all Amos' idea.
01:22:33Even taking the blade for her
01:22:34was a stage performance.
01:22:35You witch,
01:22:36how dare you sell me out?
01:22:37That's enough.
01:22:38The ringleaders,
01:22:39Amos and Erica,
01:22:40must be executed immediately.
01:22:42Lock the performer
01:22:43in the high court
01:22:43until sentencing.
01:22:45Mercy,
01:22:45your majesty.
01:22:46Mercy,
01:22:46your majesty.
01:22:47Mercy.
01:22:49Wait.
01:22:57Your majesty,
01:22:58I would like to ask you
01:23:00to spare Erica from execution.
01:23:01Why is that?
01:23:02She has tried to harm me repeatedly.
01:23:04If she gets to die a quick death,
01:23:06it would be far too easy on her.
01:23:08Clara Shaw,
01:23:09how could you do this to me?
01:23:10I hate you.
01:23:11If it weren't for you,
01:23:12all of this should have been mine.
01:23:16You're wrong.
01:23:17The one who ruined your life
01:23:18wasn't me.
01:23:18It was yourself.
01:23:20You've ruined me.
01:23:20Your fate today
01:23:21is entirely your own doing.
01:23:23Very well.
01:23:24Erica shall be stripped
01:23:25to a common slave,
01:23:26exiled to the southern marshes,
01:23:27and banned from the capital forever.
01:23:29I won't leave.
01:23:30I refuse to go there.
01:23:31I am supposed to be
01:23:32a title lady.
01:23:33I am supposed to be
01:23:34the most powerful woman
01:23:35in the world.
01:23:38Clara.
01:23:39So what's your real name?
01:23:42Lucian Hale.
01:23:44Lucian Hale.
01:23:45Now that the guilty
01:23:46have been punished,
01:23:47your majesties,
01:23:49you two are finally
01:23:50meant to be.
01:23:51Your majesties?
01:23:54From this day forward,
01:23:55I crown you
01:23:57as my empress.
01:24:16Let the grand coronation begin!
01:24:34long live the emperor,
01:24:35emperor.
01:24:38You may all rise.
01:24:43Clara.
01:24:44From this day on,
01:24:44you are my wife.
01:24:45I am dissolving the royal court
01:24:47and this harem
01:24:48shall have only one ruler.
01:24:49That ruler is you,
01:24:50my empress,
01:24:51Clara Shaw.
