ESPSUB [Amor en Llamas de Guerras] EP04 | ROMANCE | Shawn Dou/Chen Duling | YOUKU
♪Romantic verses as the preface, imbued with a sense of forlornness♪ ♪Who is copying your notebook?♪ ♪Fallen petals on the ground, through generations of storms they have weathered♪ ♪But the fate cannot be abandoned♪ ♪Mesmerized by the dream, woven with joy and sorrow♪ ♪Who is testing my sentiment?♪
♪In a weiqi game, several pawns have been placed♪ ♪The outcome cannot sever love or hatred♪ ♪Many years will pass after we depart♪ ♪What good are the merry scenes for without someone to share?♪ ♪I try to organize my feelings within love♪ ♪But it’s too convoluted, too complex♪
♪Feeling the summer breeze with my hand and plucking the chrysanthemums♪ ♪Another season has passed without a companion♪ ♪As I replay the scenes in my loving memory♪ ♪The hustle and bustle conceals all the bumpiness♪ ♪Fallen petals turn into the soil, with this ballad♪ ♪I can still see our departure in the dream♪
[Love in Flames of War] [Adapted from Love in a Fallen City by Lingxi] [Episode 4] [Shengyi Girls School] -Good morning. -Good morning. Are you really going to marry the second child of the Ke family? Don’t forget to let us be your bridesmaid. That’s right. It will be my honor to invite you,
Xiao Shuyi of the Xiao family. Do you love him? I’m not really sure either. We’ve only met once. We merely saw each other’s faces. That can’t be right! Your husband is your partner for life. You must marry someone you love. That sounds like you’re in love already. -Seriously? -Tell us more!
Fine, so be it. His family has been friends with my family. He grew up studying abroad. His family runs a private school. They built public schools as well. His father went abroad many years ago, and he left with his father. Then, he went to the US. Trust me,
He could already read and write by the age of four. At the age of seven, he could arrange a table of content for his family library. When he was 15, he got into the University of Pennsylvania. That is impressive. He is definitely a prodigy. A prodigy. Of course.
That’s why you never lay your eyes on the boys here. You already have the perfect one in your heart. Does that mean he is your fiance? He is still studying to get his doctorate abroad. However, our families do plan for our marriage. It will probably be settled when he’s back.
-I envy you, Shuyi. -I envy you. That’s right. Hangjing. I have two tickets for the «Drunken Concubine». I was going to watch it with my friends. Something came up and my friend couldn’t make it. You are well acquainted with archaic and new words. [Boss Jiu] You can take these tickets.
I can’t just take it. These tickets are too precious for me to accept. It’s all right. If no one uses the tickets, they’ll end up as paper waste. Okay then. Mr. Chi, I’m new to Beixin City. I don’t have many friends here. Perhaps we can watch the play together. Sure.
We can exchange our thoughts about Peking opera. Thank you. Mr. Chi gave her the ticket. Are they… That can’t be right. Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao. Boss Jiu. The hall is now full of audience. They are all waiting to witness your splendid performance. Be patient, I’ll be ready soon.
The concubine you play is not the same as before. How so? It used to be more melancholic than joyous. But now, it’s full of yearning and emotions. There are no blossoms blooming on stage, but the joy of spring can be felt. The sounds heard come from within. The heart
Is often inspired by the surroundings. ♪The royal carriage moves♪ ♪The moon has just risen from the island♪ ♪The Jade Rabbit arrives♪ Boss Jiu. How may I help you? Donate the ticket revenue of this play to Pioneer News. They can use the money to build an orphanage. That is a great idea.
I will see to it. Wait. There is one more thing that I need you to see to. [Luminous Jade] Hangjing. What do you think about Boss Jiu’s performance? Boss Jiu lives up to his reputation. He played the story of the opera, but he sang as if it was his melancholic life.
It was odd. I find his eyes somewhat familiar, but I can’t recall where I’d seen him. Are you Miss Lin Hangjing? Yes, I am. Boss Jiu has a present for you. Does he know me personally? I’m not very sure either. I’m just following his order. However, Boss Jiu doesn’t just send anyone present.
Miss Lin, please come with me. It seems even Boss Jiu can tell you are knowledgeable about operas. Go on. I’ll be waiting here. Mr. Chi, isn’t it? Yes. How can I help you? Boss Jiu refused to see me, but he gave me a present. What an odd person. Where is Mr. Chi?
Did he go back without me? I’m warning you, stay away from Lin Hangjing. How dare you flirt with your own student? Scoundrel. What is this nonsense? Miss Hangjing and I are innocent. You… Don’t you dare slander me. Stop denying it. Behave, or I’ll make you pay. Stop! What are you doing?
You’re a bunch of bullies picking on him! -Greetings, Miss Lin. -Greetings, Miss Lin. How do you know who I am? Did Xiao Beichen send you here? Miss Lin, I don’t understand what you mean. We are only here to talk to Mr. Chi. Mr. Chi. Don’t forget what I told you.
Mr. Chi, are you all right? I… I’m all right. Beichen surprised us today. Why is he in the mood to get on stage today? That’s right. He rarely performs on stage. But something must have gotten into him lately. Perhaps he’s love-struck. I’m not love-struck. You used the wrong word. He is not love-struck.
He is… He is longing for love. With his newfound love, we are nothing to him. Indeed. Right? We… Let me feed you. We only have each other. You don’t have a crush, right? I don’t either. But you do. Do what you must for her. I envy her so much! Xiao Beichen,
Why did you send those men after my teacher? Why are you so upset? Answer me. I don’t like you. Okay? I don’t like anyone who befriends you! How does that sound? You have no right to do this. I do it because I like to. You can’t stop me. Xiao Beichen, you’re despicable.
[Lin Hangjing seduces her own teacher] How could she do such a thing? This can’t be true. She is shameless! This is too much. Mr. Chi was fired because of her! Shameless woman! -Mr. Chi. -Mr. Chi. Mr. Chi. Mr. Chi is here. -Mr. Chi. -Mr. Chi. Mr. Chi. [Shengyi Girls School] Is Mr. Chi…
Sir. Mr. Chi and I watched the play together. We didn’t do anything indecent in public. I am willing to answer anyone’s doubt. Firing Mr. Chi is just not fair. Mr. Chi resigned on his own. He’s left. Don’t dwell on it. Go back to your class. [Shengyi Girls School] This can’t be happening.
This is not fair. She’s here. You should drop out. Look at what you’ve done to Mr. Chi. Xiao Shuyi, did you put on those posters? What if I did? If you know shame, you should leave the school now. That’s right! Lin Hangjing, you know very well what kind of trouble
You’ve caused Mr. Chi. He was the most popular teacher in our school. Now, he’s lost his reputation and job. You should leave if you know shame! That’s right. You’re a disgrace to our school! That’s right! You’ve brought shame to all of your schoolmates! As expected from the concubine’s child. You’re born a seducer.
You would even seduce your own teacher. I bet your mother used the same trick. Xiao Shuyi. You slander my mother for no reason, you should be disgusted by yourself! How dare you! I can say whatever I want! Lin Hangjing, I warn you. If you don’t want any trouble,
You should drop out of school now. Xiao Shuyi! What are you doing? Third Young Master. What is he doing here? Get up. Beichen, she seduced the teacher. She even took it out on us. What is this nonsense? How can you tarnish her name as you please? I’m warning the bunch of you,
Especially you, Shuyi. If you don’t start behaving, I’ll make you pay in front of our father. Why are you scolding me? You… Xiao Beichen! Put me down! You bullied her, and now you want to help her? You’re unreasonable. Xiao Beichen. Put me down! Shuyi! Xiao Beichen! Put me down now!
How is your leg? Drop the act. You sent those men after him. What do you mean? You sent those men to beat up Mr. Chi. Now, you ordered everyone in the school to humiliate me. And finally, you came pretending to help. You watched me get humiliated. You planned this
And were waiting for me to fall for your trick! Is that how you see me? Didn’t you send those men after Mr. Chi? You admitted it yourself. Stop following me! Aunt Qi. There is something I must deal with. You didn’t eat anything. I’m not hungry.
You there, did you make your brother upset again? Who knows what’s wrong? He changes his mind all the time. He came here on a horse! Why did Third Young Master Xiao come here on a horse? This is unacceptable. Xiao Beichen. Put me down! Xiao Beichen, put me down! Stay still.
You’ll get hurt if you fall. You bit me! Do that again, and I’ll bite back. Put me down! Look. Xiao Beichen, put me down! You… Put me down! B-Beichen… Come in. Xiao Beichen, are you deaf? Put me down! Stay still. I think our previous wager is pointless. How about this? Today,
You shall become my sworn sister. You have my word no one in Beixin City will hurt you again. [House Deed] Beichen, are you really going to give us the Luminous Jade? I am a man of my word. How generous, Third Young Master. You would even hand over the Luminous Jade
Just to make Miss Lin your sworn sister. Miss Lin. Beichen didn’t spread the rumors in your school. Miss Lin. If you reconcile with Beichen, you can order us around all you want. We can be your sidekick. Your wish is our command, okay? We’ll become sworn siblings today. Come on. Come on.
You can drink tea instead. I’ll finish the wine. Let’s put the unpleasant memories behind us. Fine. Even if I believe you didn’t spread the rumors, I’m still only staying here temporarily. I’ll leave very soon. And most importantly, we are from different worlds. You will never become my friend.
If you are willing to show mercy, I’ll have a peaceful life in Beixin. Miss Lin! Commander. Are we letting Xiao Haishan go? The Warlord trusts him. We should strike while we can. Tell me, how should we proceed? Xiao Haishan has a team of hand-picked bodyguards. No one can even get close enough. Indeed.
It’s hard to go after Xiao Haishan. But, as you know, his eldest son, Xiao Beichen, is a famous troublemaker in Beixin City. Just recently, that rascal hung my nephew above the stage of the Luminous Jade. Besides, Xiao Haishan’s twin sons are still too young. They are worthless.
One kill is enough to make a wave. Commander, if we take out Xiao Beichen, we will put a halt the Xiao family’s plan of expansion. Xiao Haishan… It’s time for you to know the insufferable pain. Xiao Haishan was once ordered to execute a group of rebels and their families.
It was said some got away. They should be of great use to us. Understood. I’ll see to it now. Do you need a rickshaw? To the Xiao’s Residence. Get on, please. See you tomorrow. See you. Bye. Bye. -Bye. -Bye. We’ll head home. -Bye, see you tomorrow. -Bye. Bye.
That isn’t the direction to Xiao’s Residence. Huang, turn around. Follow that pulled rickshaw. All right. Well, brother? Isn’t she a nice girl? She must be from a rich family. Are you sure about this? Once she’s in the alley and starts seeing customers, she will be unrecognizable in less than a month.
All right, she’s the one. Let’s go. Let’s go. Hurry up. Come here. Gentlemen, how was our acting? You should us now. Go on. Leave us. Go on. Wait. No one must know. No one must know. Let’s go. Are you sure it’s right to keep Beichen in the dark? Beauty is the hero’s demise,
But the hero is also her demise. She is helpless. If Beichen comes to her rescue, she will totally fall for him. You’re right. But Beichen is just weird. Does he really like Miss Lin? Did you drop your brain somewhere? You’ve known me for years, you know what it’s like with me.
Keep her safe. I’ll inform Beichen. Keep her safe. But… Come back here. Mo Weiyi! I didn’t ask you to do that! Calm down, Beichen. You can thank us after the job is done. Who is this? Sister, come here. Have a seat. She has such nice skin. She was sold here to do laundry? Yes. That’s what I was told. The girls helped her get changed. Look.
What a shame. Look at her pretty face and her slim waist. Not to mention her fair skin. It’s soft as and smooth as a hard-boiled egg! She was born a beauty! Sir, are you here for someone? May I have the name? Do you always tie people up here? Sir,
I can tell you know how to care for a lady. She is new here. She needs to learn her manners. It’s too unpleasant for your sight, sir. Get her out of here. I’ll take her. Sure. Sure! Please wait upstairs. Where is Hangjing? Xiao Shuyi, start talking! Don’t ask me. I know nothing. I…
My goodness! Tell Beichen what you did. Can’t you see how worried he is? Xiao Shuyi, drop the act. Where is she now? Listen very carefully. If anything happens to Hangjing, not even our father can stop me from making you pay! What could possibly happen to her? Liang Sixiu says
She is sent there as a worker. She’ll be back after she does her work. It’s him! Liang Sixiu? That heavy smoker, Liang Sixiu? He quit a long time ago. My goodness, why did you go to him? He lives on the next street. He was the only one who could help me.
Where did he send her? He says she’s sent to somewhere classy. It’s called a courtesan house. Beichen! Do you even know what that place is? -You… -Beichen! Go inside. Sit. Skin fair as snow bewitching the soul, beauty in the night leaves her shadow on the moonlight. I’m surprised.
I actually ran into an unmatched beauty while I’m out here for some fun. I know you are new here. It’s all right. I prefer newcomers. Wait. I’ll tell you the truth. I am the daughter of Commander Xiao. Send me home if you’re smart. Otherwise, the consequences will be severe.
Why would a daughter of the Xiao family work here? If you were a daughter of the Xiao family, I’d be the young master of the Xiao family. Wait. That is the famous «Ladies Wearing Flowers in Their Hair» by Zhou Fang from the Tang Dynasty. You know about paintings too?
Women of the Tang dynasty loved the red color. Wu Meiniang had her ornament dress stained with tears, Yang Yuhuan was known as beauty of peony. The six women in the painting are wearing patterns of flowers with brilliant colors. It’s a display of striking colors. Of course, this place can’t possibly have the original.
This painting here is nothing but a fake used to make the place look classy. Who are you? You purchased a girl just now. Where is she? Who do we have here? I don’t recognize you. It’s no wonder you don’t know the rules. If you want my girls, violence is useless. Just pay up.
Guards! -What do you want? -What do you want? You want to do this the hard way? Looking for trouble? If you send me back to Xiao’s residence, you will know that I’m telling the truth. My family will reward you for your effort. My car is parked downstairs. Very well. Wait. You’re quite witty.
Acting like a lady from a famous family? I’ve heard about Xiao Beichen. He’s the bully of Beixin City. If you were from the Xiao family, would you be sold to a brothel? Taking me for a fool? I… Let go of me! It’s Third Young Master Xiao! That’s him! Help! Help! Who are you?
Get out. Help! Stop. Beichen! Beichen, calm down. Beichen, no! Beichen! Beichen, calm down. Hangjing. [Qiyan Parlor] I must teach you a lesson! Eat this! Scoundrel! You must learn to behave! Why do I have a scoundrel like you as my son? I must teach you some manners! Eat this! Commander! Commander, stop it! Calm down! Anger is harmful to your health! Commander, stop hitting him. Stop standing there. Go in there and help your brother. Go now! Go! Father. Stop hitting him. This is my fault. Punish me if you must. Stop hitting Beichen. Scram! Father! Father! I have to teach you a lesson! Stop hitting Beichen. Learn your manners! -Aunt Qi. -(Such a rascal.) Let me talk to him. Uncle Xiao. Could I have a word with you? Beichen! Stop watching. Dismissed. Uncle Xiao, stop hitting him. This is all my fault. I should never have come here. You are now enraged because of me I brought trouble to your family. Kid. Do not say that. I have failed to educate my son.
I raised him into this lawless and worthless scoundrel. Uncle Xiao. I promised my father I’d stay here for three months. It’s been three months. Let me go home. I want to go home. No. How dare you speak! Enough! My goodness, stop talking! Calm down. Hangjing.
It’s not that I wouldn’t let you leave, but your father is currently caught up in some work. I think he will need more time before he can come and pick you up. Uncle Xiao. What happened to my father? Tell me everything. Don’t be paranoid. Uncle Xiao. I know my father well.
If he’s caught up in his work, he always contacts me. Tell me the truth. What happened to him? My father is the only kin I have left. Please. Kid, the thing is… This is how it went. Warlord Cheng wanted to muster more provisions to purchase equipment from the US.
He printed a lot of contraband. That caused great inflation. Your father wanted to help the people. He destroyed the printing plate and all related documents without any hesitation. The battle between Warlord Cheng and Grand Marshal Zhang was still ongoing back then. Warlord Cheng got upset. He put your father in jail. Hangjing.
When he sent me here, was he already in jail? Don’t worry. I’ve made arrangements. Your father may be in jail, but he is well taken care of. No. I must go home. Wait. Hangjing, if you went there now, you wouldn’t be able to help him. You’d make him even more worried.
This is a letter from your father. Read it before you decide. [To Lin Hangjing] (I understand that you are now living in the Xiao’s residence. Uncle Xiao. My father can’t even see me. Is he safe? How long will he be in jail? According to the superiors, it’ll at least be five years. Five years? That’s too long. Uncle Xiao. My father has always been frail. He must take his cough medicine regularly. After years of working at the desk,
His legs will hurt when the seasons change. No one is taking care of him in jail. Is there no way to get him out of there? Kid, stand up. Come on. Stand up. I know you are worried and saddened by the news, but you must understand. Your father’s action
Didn’t just cut the source of revenue for Warlord Cheng, it caused great damage to many. Your father’s imprisonment is a way to keep him alive. Your father is my sworn brother. Don’t worry. I’ll make arrangements to keep your father safe. But still… You are your father’s greatest concern. If you left,
How could I even explain to him? He’s right, Hangjing. Commander Xiao and I treat you as one of our own. This is your home. Stop thinking about leaving. As for this worthless fool, just ignore him from now on. Listen up, if you cause any more trouble, I’ll send Hangjing
Somewhere far away from you. Commander, calm down. He never ceases to worry me. What about the military school I’m sending Beichen to? Many schools asked to take him in when they learned he was enrolling. Our main force is the infantry. I want him in the military school. Yes. It’s one trouble after another.
The dispute between the Premier and Chairman hasn’t been resolved, and now Sir Xun seizes the opportunity to wreak havoc in the capital. The Warlord ordered us to strengthen our defense so the trouble up north doesn’t reach here. I’ll have my hands full for some time. I leave the protection of my family
To you. It’s my job. I’ll see to it. You need not worry. Did you take a good look? -Yes. -Yes. This is Xiao Haishan’s eldest son, Xiao Beichen. Your families were executed by Xiao Haishan. Now is your time to have revenge on him. Everyone, let’s sacrifice for the greater good.
You will have full support from my master. -Yes, sir! -Yes, sir! ♪Who is craving the caresses of the spring breeze?♪ ♪Who is gazing at the dancing flowers?♪ ♪Who is staring at the starry summer night?♪ ♪Who can remember the ephemeral shooting star?♪ ♪Who is afraid of catching feelings?
