"Like a Song" by Jason Zhang
♫ Thank time for taking away the frost flower at the head of my brows ♫
♫ Thank vicissitudes of life for feeding the horse which misses you ♫
♫ Thank endless soft lover's prattle for projecting the horizon, ♫
♫ and taking me to get drunk for a moment in the tiny mortal world ♫
♫ Thank those words of goodbye for making you scared ♫
♫ Thank the narrow road for allowing reunions not cease ♫
♫ Thank the moon for often talking to me about its deficit at my bed ♫
♫ Thank the sandy wind for getting blown into time ♫
♫ If a regret is a regret, if a story is unfinished, ♫
♫ pear blossoms have fallen all over the mountains when I look back ♫
♫ At least, I have heard the 'like' you said ♫
♫ Deep love can only be briefly discussed ♫
[The Flame's Daughter]
[Episode 44]
Stay sharp later.
There is danger here. Don't mind me first.
Stop your nonsense!
Stop!
Young Master Lei! Third Miss has ordered to spare your life.
It's hard to determine who is right or wrong for past grudges.
Starting today, World Swordless City and Thunderbolt Clique of Jiangnan are even.
We don't owe each other anything, nor have any connections with each other.
- All of you, come back here! - Yes!
Where is my wife?! Hey!
Thank you, Third Miss.
- I am here to ask for punishment to my crime. - Third Miss, this—
Sister-in-law, no need to be like this.
City Leader has twenty plus concubines.
I have the lowest rank.
Third Miss needs not call me like that.
But the person I owe the most are you and your child.
He hasn't been born yet and already lost a father.
I fear that this is retribution.
No, he is innocent.
I grew up in the coast.
My father and brother all died in the hands of Wo pirates.
Mother and I escaped as refugees so we arrived at Luoyang.
Third Miss, I have known City Leader was conniving with Wo pirates,
yet I—
Just put down the sad things.
It's bad for the child.
No matter if it's a boy or a girl, it will be the next city leader.
Third Miss, this—
I'll help you.
Men!
Third Miss.
Arrange someone to guard this place day and night.
Protect Madam Xiang and her child.
Yes.
Miss, why don't we take care of official matters first?
I'll just do a new set up of the room.
I'm tired. Go out now.
- Miss. - Leave.
Yes.
I didn't expect to spend my wedding night with you.
Why don't we consummate the marriage?
Dream on.
What is this doing here?
It's good luck for having kids early. (T/N: Lotus seed is a homophone of children in Chinese.)
Haven't you heard about it?
I see.
Bride, you look very beautiful in your wedding dress.
Little rascal, you always know how to take advantage of me.
I know you don't truly like Zhan Feng.
That's why I'm happy.
But I'm still married.
We even performed the ritual bows.
It's okay. I don't care.
♫ The auspicious hour diminishes and snow remnants are left ♫
[Perfect Happiness]
♫ To rid the gratitude and grudges, why do you use leaving me as a memorial for it?♫
♫ Until when will you stop being 30% cold and 70% hot?♫
Liexiang, if I explain at this time today,
you probably would just want to tear off this rotten mouth of mine.
If I don't explain, the more you would want to just behead me.
I wronged you.
I deserve to die.
It's just that Dark River is causing disaster to the world.
I won't be able to rest in peace.
My wife, wait for me.
The day that Dark River is annihilated, I will surely hold my blade
and kneel outside Swordless City to let you hack me to death.
Your husband, Jinghong.
♫ I watch the fine snow merging into the ruthless time ♫
♫ but only receive your message, "Don't forget you," for my waiting ♫
♫ When an old dream returns, how come it's so short-lived? ♫
♫ The auspicious hour diminishes and snow remnants are left ♫
♫ While smelling flowers and thinking of the snow, another year has passed ♫
If we take the water route, we'll be back in Jiangnan in 3 days.
Do you really not want to see her?
You left in her most painful time.
As time goes by, a knot that initially could have been untied, will eventually become a dead knot.
But we have only killed a lackey of Anye Luo.
The most dangerous one is yet to come.
The most important thing now is to immediately rush back to Thunderbolt Clique and rebuild the old headquarters.
Okay.
Once the time is right, someone will come find you.
By then, let them look at this token.
And then, go and convince other sects to help you eliminate Dark River.
Why don't you give this to your Hall Leaders?
The Hall Leaders of Flaming Hills are being monitored by Anye Luo.
It's not convenient for them to work covertly.
But you are an outsider.
You are the most suitable choice.
Okay.
Young Master!
You all are here.
Third Younger Sister, you still hate me after all these years.
You are not her.
She's already dead!
She is.
I saved her.
Just to not let Anye Luo discover her,
I've hidden her for more than 10 years.
I opened Taste Flower Brothel just as a cover up.
In reality, I just wanted to find her a place to settle in.
Leave now.
You are still my younger sister after all.
I will never kill you.
Mother!
Mother, are you alright?
Mother, Lei Jinghong has escaped.
How are you going to explain this to Sect Leader?
If Sect Leader will want to kill me later, don't stop him.
Look for a chance to escape.
That woman who appeared in the woods earlier foiled your plan.
We totally can use her as an excuse.
Shut up!
Regarding that woman,
you must not mention even one word. You hear me?
I...know already.
Third Sect Leader, Sect Leader is asking you to see him.
Third Sect Leader is here!
Where is Lei Jinghong's head?
Yin Xue...saved him.
Nonsense!
How far is it to go to Jiangnan?
You can't find any chance to attack him?!
Older Brother.
You really think I won't dare to kill you?!
Just kill me then.
Sect Leader, please have mercy!
Third Sect Leader didn't kill Lei Jinghong because of an old acquaintance.
- Shut up! - Say it!
You must not say it!
It's... It's Anye Ming.
You're making up things!
Who did you say it is?
Anye Ming.
Sect Leader, don't listen to her nonsense!
Do you know what happens to people who lie to me?!
I dare not.
Mother sent people to capture Lei Jinghong.
We saw a woman in red in the woods.
Mother suddenly was struck with panic.
She clearly has the upper hand, but she hurriedly retreated.
I... I found it weird
so I secretly went to look for that woman.
Say it! Quickly continue saying it!
I eavesdropped Yin Xue calling her Madam Zhan.
In the mountain villa, there are only 2 Madam Zhan,
Dao Liexiang and the deceased Anye Ming.
She didn't die.
Didn't die... Where is she?!
Ping'an Town.
Right. It was there.
When Ming'er initially escaped, she went to Ping'an Town.
Feng'er, come with me to fetch your mother!
Yes.
Sect Leader, it's a trap! It's a trap!
Third Sect Leader!
Scram!
Ming'er doesn't like things from Dark River Palace.
No. Go and clean yourself up, too.
Uncle, aren't you afraid that this is just a trap?
Trap? I am not afraid of it being a trap.
I just need to see your mother and I'll know the truth.
Your mother hasn't seen you yet.
Hurry and change into a set of clean clothes.
Yes.
[Xue's Sesame Seed Cake]
Uncle, there doesn't seem to be anyone in here.
Uncle, don't easily believe it.
This might be a trap.
Other than your mother, no one in this world can hurt me.
Feng'er, what are you doing?
Don't scare your mother.
Ming'er!
Ming'er! Ming'er!
Ming'er!
Go and search every land from here to Flaming Hills.
And go to Luoyang, too.
Go to all the places that Yin Xue has gone to.
What if we're unable to find her?
Bring men to attack Flaming Hills.
Uncle, you must not.
Even you are stopping me?
Dark River just got re-established in jianghu.
We finally were able to clear our name of being an evil sect.
If Uncle attacks the previous top martial arts sect now,
it can't be helped for others to criticize you.
So what if we're an evil sect?
I don't want Uncle's plans to get destroyed in an instant.
If not because of your mother, the Lie family has long been gone.
This debt must be paid sooner or later.
Are you discontented about me?
Yes.
Don't you want to see your mother?
I... I don't want you to hurt Ruge.
Don't worry.
Even if I take down Flaming Hills, that girl will still be yours.
Good enough. Stop with the nonsense.
Quickly go.
Yes.
Hall Leader Zhongli.
Immediately return to the mountain villa. Shut the gates tight.
- Protect Senior Brother Ji well. - Yes.
You must remember to not make any mistakes.
Yes. I will take my leave.
Sect Leader, you must take good care of yourself.
Okay.
So, we need to flee, right?
Right.
And we must make it very realistic.
Let him completely remove any doubts and really believe that you're Anye Ming.
But that way, wherever I go, Dark River will go.
Won't I become a calamity star then?
He wants to earn the hearts of people.
Let us then expose his real form.
Could you really be a swindler before?
You're full of evil tricks.
Honestly, my future wife, I was indeed one.
You're fooling me again.
Right, fooling you.
Can you say something true?
I'll just say it on our wedding day.
I'll go implement our plan now.
Sect Leader, you must take good care of yourself.

Ladies, were you looking for me?
The temperature on top of the mountain is low. Wear more clothes.
I'll take my leave now.
Uncle. Our people arrived late.
When our people got there, they were gone.
Only unconscious maids of ours were there.
Yin Xue...
[Taste Flower Brothel]
- Prince. - Where is she?
Please come with me.
Junior Sister.
Senior Brother Yu.
I just got the news today.
Lei Jinghong personally killed Dao Wuxia.
All the sects now know about the evil plots of World Swordless City and Dark River.
Senior Brother, hurry and praise me.
I am very impressed.
What should we do next?
Let's talk while sitting.
[Hear Waves and Play with Tides]
Lanterns! Selling lanterns!
[Taste Flower Brothel]
Is this Yin Xue's Taste Flower Brothel?
Yes.
- Clean that railing well. - Okay.
Don't damage it!
And you there, clean that area well!
Where is Yin Xue?
Sirs, today, we—
Where is Yin Xue?
Sir... Sir is not here.
Where did he go?
He...brought—
Brought who?
Who did he brought with him exactly?!
Uncle. Let me interrogate her.
Was the person that Sir brought with him my mother?
- You are? - I am Zhan Feng.
Sir Feng?
Yes.
Your mother?
This one is?
This is one of my elder.
He is very concerned about my mother's safety.
So sorry for earlier.
Sir and I were just protecting your mother.
But I actually got hurt by our own people.
Really so sorry.
Your mother...has left.
Where did she go?
Have you forgotten about your father's death anniversary?
Death anniversary?
Stupid child, have you forgotten?
Feng'er, let's go!
Mother, please bless and protect me.
Help me.
Don't be afraid.
You have me.
[Zhan Feitian's Clothing Tomb]
[Anye Ming's Clothing Tomb]
These are the tombs where the funeral clothes of your parents were buried.
How come there are only clothes?
Lie MIngjing was afraid that Anye Luo will steal the body,
so he took away your mother's corpse and only left her clothes.
Then...what about their corpses?
For the first part of her life, she has been locked up in Dark River Palace.
Compared to that, this must be what she really wanted.
Father and mother, I can't kneel today.
Next time, I'll come to your tomb again and make the proper bow.
Madam Zhan, please hold your grief.
Upon leaving today, I don't know when I'll be able to return to the Central Plains again.
May Sir give me an incense time to do a sword dance in front of his tomb.
We're in a hurry. There's no more time.
It will be very fast.
Please do it then, Madam Zhan.
Ming'er...
Mother—
Older Sister!
Are you done training? Are you tired?
I'm not.
When can I marry you?
You're not a child anymore.
Stop saying such silly words.
You've promised me.
Have you forgotten?!
You don't want to marry me.
Could it be that you have some other plans?
What nonsense are you saying?
At what level is your Dark River Internal Cultivation now?
8th. Just one more level
and there will be no one else in this world who can defeat me.
The revival of Dark River will depend on you then.
Older Sister, why won't you train the Dark River Internal Cultivation?
I don't like it.
Jianghu killings are not something that I want.
Ming'er. Ming'er!
You hid from me for so long.
How could you bear to?
There is still a debt between us that hasn't been paid yet.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Blazing Team @ Viki.com
Yin Xue, you actually relearned the Dark River Internal Cultivation.
Ming'er...
Ming'er!
- Ming'er. - Let go.
- I miss you so much! Ming'er. - Let go!
For so many years, where have you been?
Let go. I am Ruge, Anye Ming's daughter!
You actually are Ming'er's daughter?!
You actually are Ming'er's daughter?
Are you here to punish me in behalf of your mother?
Ge'er...
Greetings, Sect Leader.
- Go and look for a horse carriage. - Yes.
Older Brother. She—
She is MIng'er's daughter.
Daughter?
Never thought that I got tricked by that Lie Mingjing.
I finally found you.
Then, what about Zhan Feng?
He must be Lie Mingjing's real son.
Yin Xue and Zhan Feng are still on the mountain and badly injured.
Bring them back to Dark River Palace.
Yes.
It was you who has been serving Ruge in the past.
I grew up with Miss.
Then from now on, you're still going to be the one to serve her.
Yes.
Sir, long time no see.
Are you here to kill me again?
Take these two people back to the palace.
- Yes. - Yes.
You won't be able to move.
Where are they?
They naturally have their places to go to.
Assassinating you is my idea.
It has nothing to do with them.
Let them go. You can do whatever you want with me.
I can do whatever?
Yes.
Who do you think you are?
You only have the same face as her.
Do you think you can bargain with me already?
You're wrong.
Not only do I have the same face as hers,
I even have the same blood as hers.
If you harm them,
I'll let your beloved woman completely disappear in this world.
Not leaving any descendants at all.
You can't even move your fingers anymore.
Why bother talking about death?
There are so many ways to die.
For example, I can starve to death.
You are really like your mother.
She also threatened me the same way.
I can wait after your death and turn your body into a specimen,
then place it in a crystal coffin full of fresh flowers.
I can admire it every hour, every minute and doesn't even have to give any conditions in exchange.
Won't that be perfect?
It is indeed.
Then, you don't really need to wait for me to die first.
You can make your move now.
If you don't want me to die,
then agree with my conditions.
You seem to be very concerned about their lives.
Yes.
Don't you have any questions at all?
How come I knew about your plans beforehand?
I know that you're going to attack me from behind.
I also know that Zhan Feng will betray me.
I also even know that Yin Xue only has 70% of his power left.
It's impossible for him to match my strength.
Your ambush for me has become a clumsy play.
Aren't you curious how I got to know it?
What really do you want to say?
Someone betrayed you all.
Impossible.
Pitiful child, the person that you whole-heartedly trusted has betrayed you.
Yet, you still want to save them.
Are you pitiful or laughable?
The pitiful person should be you.
Because you never believed anyone,
that's why, you are lonely.
You instead kept seeking for something that you can never attain.
There is no one in this world worth trusting to begin with.
People are all selfish and ruthless.
For their own bliss,
they can hurt even the closest person to them.
Don't you want to know who betrayed you?
I don't want to know, because there can't be no such person.
Are you not a bit curious at all which Martial Arts Society friend of yours,
which hall leader,
or which senior brother?
No such person.
You've started to waver.
You start to suspect.
Think about it well.
Who could the traitor be?
- Set up the defense. - Yes.
Defense?
How do you think our sect was able to survive under the threat of annihilation by the righteous sects?
Once the confusing defense is set up, there will be a 10 mile confusing fog around this area.
Anyone who dares to trespass in will all die.
Welcome back, Sect Leader.
This is my long lost family, Anye Ruge.
From now on, you all must call her Eldest Miss.
Yes.
Sect Leader ordered me to shut the mountain villa gates tight
and set up defense formations.
Also, to protect Young Master Ji well.
Prince, Anye Jue asks for an audience.
Let her in.
Yes.
Prince.
Xuan Huang, Huang Cong, leave.
- Prince! - Leave!
Yes.
Close the doors.
What method will Sect Leader be using to test me this time?
Prince, come with me to Dark River Palace without taking any men with you.
The reason?
Lie Ruge's assassination plot failed, got captured, and brought into Dark River Palace.

"Bathe in Fire to Become a Poem" by Dilraba Dilmurat & Mao Buyi
♫ People often say there is a boundary of the world that one's step will eventually reach ♫
♫ But how come when it comes to yearning, there is no end? ♫
♫ The frost melts into words ♫
♫ I write poems when the flower blooms ♫
♫ Only I am not good in this kind of articulation ♫
♫ Who gifted me winter abjection when the warmth of lively spring has come ♫
♫ Just once, life and death have already been nullified ♫
♫ While flying swan geese cross the snow and chase the sun, they create white silk ♫
♫ My groan stops abruptly ♫
♫ Love is a pleasure thorn on my fingertip ♫
♫ Your constant caring words to me ♫
♫ are something that a disloyal lover wouldn't understand ♫
♫ Attending endless events as jumping into the fire and losing feathers almost makes me crazy ♫
♫ If I am a 'yes' man in this short moment, ♫
♫ I fear that I might just waste my life ♫
♫ If you don't bathe in fire, you won't become a poem ♫
♫ In this confusing chaotic world, ♫
♫ It's hard to tell who a disloyal lover is ♫
♫ I can't understand why I jump into the fire and lose feathers to almost make myself crazy ♫
♫ Get soaked in the mountains streams, lakes, and seas and burned within the pen and paper ♫
♫ Let me write about you one more time ♫
♫ If you don't bathe in fire, you won't become a poem ♫
♫ If you don't bathe in fire, how can you become a poem? ♫
