Lost You Forever S2

Episode 16

Marrying Nian will make you a bit happier.

After all, you watched her grow up.

In your heart, she must be different from those women from the Zijin Peak.

Nian is different from them.
But it doesn't mean I want to marry her.

Your marriage to Nian would quell
the strife between our two kingdoms.

Moreover, Nian is sincere.

And you know she likes you
more than any other women.

Have you ever considered what I truly feel?

You've only ever thought about Nian.
Nian wants to marry me.

You think that I already have so many women,
so one more woman doesn't really matter, right?

What are you talking about?

I just think if you could previously marry those women to win over those clans, why can't you marry Nian?

Is she in any way inferior to them?

Why are you looking at me?

Back then, when you married
Chenrong Xinyue, you were all elated.

What's wrong with marrying Nian now?

Why so reluctant?

When was I ever elated?

Did you see that?

Tell me how I was ever elated.

I didn't see it with my own eyes,

but back in the day, when you married Chenrong Xinyue, the people of Haoling all discussed it.

So many people saw you in high spirits.

Xiaoyao,

anyone can say so, but you...

How could you?

Cang Xuan, just be drunk in front of all the guests from Dahuang and the officials from both kingdoms tomorrow.

Xiling Jiuyao, let me tell you.

I felt very sad every time I got married,
especially when I married Chenrong Xinyue.

I even hate myself and hate you too.

If you are drunk again, I will hit you.

I'm serious.

I don't want any of those women.

I just want...

I just want...

Cang Xuan,

what is wrong with you?

Before, I could always
tell what you were thinking.

But this time, I have no idea at all.

I admit

I did only think about Nian.
I didn't consider you.

Because in my heart,

I feel

you care more about the whole world
and the political landscape,

and care less about other things.

Which of these two pendants do you prefer?

Whichever.

Then at the wedding ceremony tomorrow,
which color of lipstick do you want to apply?

Vermilion, silvery red, scarlet,
rose red, begonia red or peach red?

Whichever.

Why do you always reply "whichever"?

My dream has come true. I'm happy.

- Congratulations.
- Congratulations.

I've never seen a bride like you.

Then what do you think a bride should be like?

If one day, I can marry Cang Xuan,
I will definitely be nervous.

I'll also be a bit scared
that I'm not pretty enough.

From accessories to the color of rouge,
I will pick everything personally.

I will look forward to my future with him.

Nian, are you happy?

I used to think if one day,
I could marry Cang Xuan,

I would surely be overjoyed.

But now my dream has come true,
and I am not as happy as I had imagined.

If you have regrets, I will issue an edict
at once to cancel tomorrow's wedding.

Now all the people of Dahuang know that I
will be married to the King of Xiyan tomorrow.

The Four Great Clans, Haoling's four tribes, the clans of the Central Plains,

and the old clans of Xiyan all gather at Wushen Mountain.

The wedding can't be canceled casually.

I am the King of Haoling.
So I have the final say.

You just consider
whether you want to marry or not.

Leave the rest to me.

Kings should keep their word.

Aren't you afraid of
being ridiculed by the people?

Compared to your lifelong happiness,
the people's scorn is nothing.

All the clans gather at Wushen Mountain.

It is just good.

Presumably, each clan has sent out
their most outstanding offsprings.

Among them are certainly
many outstanding young men.

You can choose an ideal husband among them.

It is not just mine and Cang Xuan's wedding.

It also concerns the peace of the Dahuang.

Father, if you cancel it and
change the groom casually,

aren't you afraid of causing chaos in Dahuang?

So what?

I was able to quell the Five Princes Rebellion back then, so I am not afraid now.

Father,

you are the best father.

Nian, Cang Xuan is an emperor.

- He...
- I know.

He doesn't like me,

but I like him.

Marrying him isn't as happy as I thought it would be,

but I know if I don't marry him, I'll never be happy in my life.

Nian.

Father, don't worry.

I'm not what I used to be anymore.

I still like Cang Xuan,

but he's not everything to me anymore.

I'm not the most important to him.

Similarly,

he's not the most important to me.

If I have to choose between him and you, I will choose you.

If I have to choose between our people and him,

I will choose our people.

If that's the case,

don't marry Cang Xuan.

Father, I know well Cang Xuan doesn't want to marry me,

but I insist on marrying him.

Because between his happiness and mine,

I choose to make him unhappy
and make myself happy.

Father, I've grown up.

I promise I will take good care of myself.

If you really don't want
the wedding tomorrow,

we'll find a way to cancel it.

How do we do it?

Tomorrow's wedding
is already known to all the people.

Millions of troops are guarding
the border between the two kingdoms.

One careless move could lead to great chaos.

I haven't thought it through yet.

But whatever you don't want to do,
I will support you.

Let's figure out a way together.
There must be a way to cancel it.

Aren't you afraid of danger?

No. Since we were little,
we've never had a peaceful day.

What number is this?

Six.

Are you messing with me?

Tomorrow,

all the people will see
the King of Xiyan joyfully

marry the Princess of Haoling.

Cang Xuan.

I was drunk just now. Now I am sober.

Things have come to this.
Marrying one more woman makes no difference.

Are you really willing?

Yes.

You said just now that you wanted...
What do you want?

As long as it's something I can do,
I will help you achieve it.

I want...

What do you want?

I want...

I want us both to be safe and sound.

Cang Xuan, you are the King of Xiyan now.

In the future, you'll be the master of Dahuang.

No one will hurt you again.

Nor will anyone hurt me anymore.

Right.

We have already reached the summit.

♫ Looking back on my old days ♫

As usual.

Don't congratulate me.
Don't give me gifts.

And don't show up at the wedding tomorrow.

Alright.

I'm not giving a gift. Nor will I attend.

♫ Enduring all things in my life ♫

On Wushen Mountain, you and Auntie
loved the Yiqing Garden most.

I will build you an identical garden
on Chenrong Mountain.

You don't have to.

Jing told me in Qingqiu,
he would build me a Yiqing Garden.

♫ All things are dim, only your eyes shine bright ♫

♫ I'll follow my heart
and go to chase the sun far away ♫

♫ Everything seems sad ♫

Why have these fish suddenly all run away?

The fish from Wushen Mountain
don't like me being here.

Xuan, just a few fish.

You've conquered Chenrong Mountain.

Wushen Mountain is no challenge for you.

Will you accompany me?

Of course. I will.

♫ Without you, even the grandest scenery ♫

[Cheng'en Palace, Haoling]

♫ Is a mess ♫

[Sunlight Hall]
With wonderful music, the phoenix arrives in splendor.

♫ I climbed mountains and crossed rivers but I couldn't walk out of life and death ♫

♫ I lived through gatherings and parting but I couldn't walk out of sorrows and joys ♫

♫ I lived through spring and summer but I couldn't walk out of the memories ♫

♫ But I couldn't walk out of the memories ♫

Cang Xuan.

♫ You are in my mind but not hold my hand ♫

♫ You were here yesterday but you are not here tomorrow ♫

♫ You appear in the rain but disappear in the water ♫

Vast mountains and rivers.
May the couple be together forever.

May the couple be blessed
with many thriving children.

♫ You have dark hair ♫

♫ You appear at the foot of the mountain not on a cloud ♫

What is gained
cannot compensate for what is lost.

You're being foolish again?

I thought it was an illusion.
I thought you were fake.

But how come you are here?

I came because I wanted to.

Do you know what day it is today?

The King of Xiyan
is marrying the Princess of Haoling.

Do you know how many guards
are stationed on Wushen Mountain?

I know the King of Xiyan is getting married.

That's why I came here.

You don't seem like someone
who likes to join the crowd.

If it were just a wedding, I naturally wouldn't be interested in joining the crowd.

What do you mean?

The King of Haoling is a wise ruler.

He couldn't possibly be aware of the danger of leaving the throne empty and still delay appointing an heir,

unless he has his own plan.

Now, the King of Haoling has his
only daughter marry the King of Xiyan.

And he is also the master of the King of Xiyan.

Could it be...

What?

Could it be that he wants to give the
Haoling as a dowry to Xiyan Cang Xuan?

How could that be possible?

No wonder you are a nine-headed demon.

Your jokes are more ridiculous
than those of others.

It seems I guessed right.

Nine heads do think better than one.

Xuan has inherited our grandfather's
ambition to unify Dahuang.

After subduing Haoling,

he will then send troops to attack Hong Jiang.

I thought the w*r between Haoling and Xiyan
would be hard to end in a few decades.

I didn't expect Dahuang
would be unified so quickly.

Do you still continue following Hong Jiang?

The world is vast and boundless.

Don't you really want to do anything else?

The world is vast

and boundless.

Right. You are a nine-headed demon.

Do you want to be bound by fate?

Have you not considered
making a different choice?

Are you worried about me?

I know you just see me as an object of trade.

But I see you as a friend.

Friendship cannot be seen or touched.

I don't think I can rely on it.

If Xiyan Cang Xuan knows we both
have a poisonous bug in our hearts

and our lives are connected,

will he k*ll me?

You are my pawn to control the King of Xiyan.

You knew what this poisonous bug
was all along. Right?

Right, so what?

Since you could help Cang Xuan transfer
the poisonous bug to yourself,

you surely know the method to remove it.

Take a guess.

If I die, will you still be alive?

Other way around.

If I die,... will you still be alive?

You can use the poisonous bug
as leverage against Cang Xuan.

Aren't you afraid I would use the
poisonous bug to scheme against you?

Scheme against me?

I'm looking forward to it.

Xiang Liu, what exactly do you want?

- Make yourself clear.
- Xiaoyao.

The wedding is over?

Yes.

Xuan. Is everything going well with him?

Yes. What are you worried about?

Nothing.

I was just taking a walk by the sea,
and Xiang Liu suddenly appeared.

I was just asking him
about removing the poisonous bug.

- Does Xiang Liu have a way?
- I guess he does.

Otherwise, knowing it would
make our lives connected, he wouldn't put the poisonous bug inside him willingly.

But he didn't tell me.

The poisonous bug
bothers me until it's removed.

Xiang Liu is known as "Nine Lives"
with exceptional spirit power.

Between him and me,
I'm more vulnerable.

If there's any worry, he should
worry that I might drag him down.

I misspoke.

I am hard to k*ll and sure to live a
long life and become an old woman.

Don't worry.

I've been studying medicine and
compiling medical books recently.

Since Xiang Liu can remove the poisonous bug,
I can certainly do it too.

It's just that I need some time.

You're right. We will definitely find a way.

This place.

Have we been here before?

Chief Tushan,

it was here where I offered my first kiss,
and you rejected it.

It was my fault for not knowing
what I was missing.

Now that you know it, don't miss the opportunity anymore.

This time, you can't dodge.

This time, it is you who can't dodge.

Since ascending to the throne in my prime,
it has been hundreds of years.

And now I'm in my twilight years.
My body and spirit ail.

Still, state affairs are burdensome.

I am well aware that I cannot sustain it.

Holding the throne in vain
isn't good for the kingdom.

I fear I would dishonor my ancestors
and disappoint the people.

Now there is a ruler who is wise and capable.
I've decided to cede the throne to him.

I wonder which member of the
royal family you have in mind.

Not from the Haoling royal family.

It is

Xiyan Cang Xuan.

Your Majesty. Absolutely not!

Xiyan Cang Xuan is
the king of the Xiyan Kingdom.

If you cede the throne to him, would it not be like giving the great lands
of Haoling straight to him?

Please think again and take it back.

- Please think again and take it back.
- Please think again and take it back.

The lands were once one.

Your Majesty, you prioritize peace and the well-being of all people, and abdicate the throne to unify the lands.

Your generosity is beyond ordinary people.

My subordinates and I
will abide by your command.

I will abide by your command.

Good.

Qinglong, Xihe, do you two
squads have any objections?

We Qinglong Squad will abide by your command.

We Xihe Squad will abide by your command.

- Your Majesty, please don't.
- Please don't.

Issue the edict.

Here's His Majesty's decree.

I understand the rulership is not a personal
possession but is earned through virtue.

Heaven and people all demand the wise and the capable to be selected, which is a principle embraced by all.

The position isn't for one to possess alone.

Cang Xuan of Xiyan is sagacious and outstanding.
[Father cede the throne to me. I'll try to be a good ruler and not let you down.]

Today, I retire to another palace
and cede the throne to him.

That's all.

You and His Majesty have unified Dahuang
without waging w*r or disturbing the people.

It is truly a joyous and congratulatory event.

It is too early to be happy now.

Cang Xuan has only nominally unified Haoling.

The Haoling tribes
will not be sincerely convinced.

It is heard that the court officials opposing
Cang Xuan's succession are not in the minority.

Although all have been suppressed
by the might of the King of Haoling,

they will surely obstruct at every turn.

It is not easy for Cang Xuan
to fully control Haoling.

You don't need to worry.

With His Majesty's wisdom and ability, he will certainly make the Haoling court officials convinced.

Right. I believe that Cang Xuan can achieve it.

After all, I have spent centuries

but still failed to make the clans of
the Central Plains truly submit to me.

Cang Xuan, however,
accomplished it in less than a century.

Since Xiyan Cang Xuan succeeded to the throne, he has governed with diligence and love for the people.

Regarding Ru Shou, Qin Mang and others who supported his succession,

he saw them as his right-hand men and entrusted them with important tasks.

Towards the good officials
who opposed his succession, he treated them with courtesy
and accepted their criticism.

As for the treacherous ones
who profited from chaos, he suppressed them forcefully.

The turmoil over the throne gradually subsided.

Under the rule of Xiyan Cang Xuan, the order has been restored
and the governance has been upright.

Haoling has prospered.
All are convinced.

Now, Haoling and Xiyan are truly united.

Xiyan Cang Xuan is honored
as the Lord of Dahuang.

How is Father?

No serious issues. But if he wants to fully recover,
he still needs to recuperate.

Father, you've worked hard.

Cang Xuan,
I want to ask you for something.

No matter what it is,
as long as you want it, just take it.

I want Xiyan Mountain.

Father, there's no need for that.

Father, why do you want that?

Now, the situation is settled. I want to leave Wushen Mountain
and move to Xiyan Mountain.

Why?

Father does not want two rulers in one kingdom, and he is intent on crushing
all the officials' hopes,

and making everyone acknowledge only
Cang Xuan as the king.

There is also a personal reason.

Xiyan Mountain
is the birthplace of the Xiyan royal family.

It's of extraordinary significance
to the Xiyan Kingdom.

Becoming the master is to show the world my status is the same as the Great Emperor's

and Haoling is not a submission.

Father, there's really no need for that.

The climate of Wushen Mountain
and Xiyan Mountain is entirely different.

You may not be able to adapt.

The climate of Chenrong Mountain and
Xiyan Mountain is also entirely different.

Isn't your grandfather also living well there?

I've heard he's must better than
when he was at Xiyan Mountain.

Father,

how can you bear to leave Wushen Mountain?

On Wushen Mountain, the only one I can't bear to part with is you.

I am tired.
I want to change my way of life

and don't want to stay in this palace anymore.

Your mother will stay to accompany you.

Even when Cang Xuan is
not around, you are not alone.

Cang Xuan, are you willing to give Xiyan Mountain to me?

Of course I am willing.

But Father,

please recover fully before you leave.

If I stay here, even if I do not want to deal with something,

it will still reach my ears and prevent me from resting in peace.

If possible, I want to leave soon.

Father, let me accompany you back
to Xiyan Mountain.

It's a good opportunity to help you recuperate.

With you accompanying Father back,
I will be much more at ease.

Rest assured.

I will definitely arrange it
as soon as possible.

[Sunlight Hall]

You're a good king.

In my lifetime, I am not a good son,

a good brother,
a good friend or a good husband.

But I am indeed

a good king.

You're a good father.

You're the best father to Nian and me.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

What are you here for?

Are you still angry about the
matter of the Queen of Haoling?

It was my fault for
not informing you in advance.

I've come specially to apologize.

To apologize?

You did a lot to help His Majesty marry
the Princess of Haoling.

Now, your fame in the court is resounding.

I can't afford your apology.

Your Majesty, the marriage alliance between the two royal families of Xiyan and Haoling

has averted a w*r between the two kingdoms that may
last for decades or even hundreds of years.

- The people will all be grateful to you.
- Enough!

Save your principles for the court session.

I am not your peer or subordinate.

I am your sister of the same mother.

Xinyue, I'm doing this for your good.

The Queen of Haoling lives at Wushen
Mountain. You can't see her at all.

- She has no impact on your status.
- For my good?

You and father,
for what you call the clan's interest,

for your own high positions,
have sacrificed me once again.

Putting on airs. Utterly hypocritical.

Just scold me if you want.
Don't bring Father into this.

I warned you about this from the start His Majesty carried
the whole world in his mind.

If you wanted a devoted husband,
don't marry His Majesty.

This was your own choice.

It wasn't me or Father
who forced you to become the queen.

Without me and father, would someone willful
and selfish like you secure your position?

Get out of my sight!

I will no longer need
your concern in the future.

[Base Camp of Chenrong Army]

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Mr. Xiang.

Starting today,
add an extra portion of meat to everyone.

You've gathered more provisions.

Let me say thank you on behalf of everyone.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Tell me.
Does our perseverance make sense?

No matter the obstacles,... I shall go forth.




'Nothing Can Be Compared to You' - Jason Zhang

♫ Looking back on my old days ♫

♫ I was unruffled
with no sorrow and soreness ♫

♫ In my chaotic life,
I failed to meet your gaze ♫

♫ Only emptiness remained ♫

♫ Enduring all things in my life ♫

♫ I valued all but indifferent
to wealth and fame ♫

♫ Basking in the sun,
I couldn't feel your sunlight ♫

♫ All I feel is a painful heat wave ♫

♫ All things are dim,
while only your eyes shine bright ♫

♫ I'll follow my heart
and go to chase the sun far away ♫

♫ Everything seems sad,
while only your brows raise in delight ♫

♫ I'm waiting for you
to enjoy the scenery at night ♫

♫ You came with wind and rain,
while left with my four seasons ♫

♫ All is bleak without you ♫

♫ It began like a tornado,
and went away leaving only dust ♫

♫ Without you,
even the most beautiful world is a mess ♫
