♫ The moonlight shines brightly on the strings of the zither that night ♫
♫ You and I are teetering on the edge of loneliness ♫
♫ Softly reciting the bygone days we cannot return to ♫
♫ Also floating in the air is a kite with a string that has snapped ♫
♫ The yearning stirs my heartstrings that night ♫
♫ Love and hate whimper quietly and unrestrainedly ♫
♫ To meet or not to meet, both are similarly on the edge of pain ♫

The Legend of Hao Lan
Episode 1
[Zhao Kingdom, Handan City]
Young Miss, if you have anything to say to the Prince, you must do it fast. [Eldest daughter of Zhao's Imperial Censor: Haolan]
We only have two hours. We need to hurry back before anyone finds out.
Sister, sister! [Second daughter of Zhao's Imperial Censor: Xiuyu]
I just heard that Father is going to marry you off to Minister Yu!
What did you just say?!
Both of Minister Yu's previous wives died early
and now he wants to take another wife!
Father has tried deferring the offer, but he ultimately cannot reject it.
So... he yielded.
I'll go meet with Father right now.
My dear Sister,
Minister Yu helped Father get to where he is now. And he is also of high status and power.
In his position, it is reasonable for him to ask for marriage.
We cannot reject him.
Sister, how about you write a letter to Prince Jiao?
Afterall, he's the Prince of the Zhao Kingdom.
If he truly loves you, he'll definitely find a solution.
Xiuyu, help me.
After hearing about a sudden change regarding my marriage, I wish to meet with you.
We'll meet at the pavilion outside the city at midnight.
You mustn't fail to show. This is an urgent matter.
Xiuyu.
- Quickly, help me deliver it. - Okay.
Prince!
[Wife of Zhao's Imperial Censor, Madam Gao]
Secretly meeting a man in the middle of the night.
If word gets out, you'll bring shame upon the family name.
Mother... There are rumors that Minister Yu abuses his wives.
His two wives died cruelly.
If I'm to be married to someone like him, then that shall be bringing shame upon the family name.
Besides, I've already made an agreement with Prince Jiao.
How does one take a wife?
A match must be made.
It doesn't matter if he's a prince of a kingdom, even if he were to be a commoner,
one must obey their parents and follow the six ceremonies (of betrothal and marriage).
You‘re planning to elope with him tonight,
yet you dare say you aren't bringing shame?
He's promised me
that he will ask His Majesty for my hand in marriage, and formally marry me.
Today, I was just asking him for help. We weren't planning to elope.
Not an elopement?
Then what is this?
This is evidence!
- Why do you have this? - Young Miss!
- He returned this himself. - Let go!
What a shame and embarrassment!
- Young Miss! - All of you, how dare you!
Let me go!
Yan Yun! Yan Yun!
Yan Yun!
Gao Min! You can't be making these decisions yourself! I will tell Father!
Don't worry.
You'll never be able to see your father again.
Let me go!
Do it!
What are all of you doing!?
What are you doing this for!?
- You're the same as your mother. You're both despicable wenches! - Let go of me!
Hurry and throw her in!
Father won't forgive you if you do this!
No! Don't!
Let me go!
[Imperial Censor Manor]
Haolan, I've inquired already.
Today, the Imperial Censor's beloved daughter is getting married.
There's going to be many guests here and there. No one will notice you.
However, you barely survived the hands of death.
Are you sure you want to return to the Li Manor?
This is my home.
If I don't come back, where else can I go?
Besides, my mother is still in there.
I also want to know who exactly leaked my whereabouts.
Haolan. I've tried to persuade you for around half a month now. Yet you still insist on returning.
I'm just afraid... Afraid that you might lose your life!
One can't live not knowing the truth. I must get to the bottom of this.
Oh, right, Mister. Do you know who the groom is today?
Be careful.
This way, this way.
Mister Butler!
You bunch of useless idiots. I told you guys to be on guard,
yet you let that crazy woman escape!
There's so many guests today, what if she causes a ruckus?
No matter how crazy she is, she's Master's favored concubine.
She's considered at least half a master.
- Mother! - We wouldn't dare.
A master? That was before!
I know where she is. Come.
Congratulations, Censor Li.
Thank you, thank you.
- Congratulations, Censor Li. - Congratulations.
Thank you, thank you.
Please come in, please come in.
This way, please.
My Lady, there's been a problem.
That way.
- My Lord. - Yes? [Zhao's Imperial Censor: Li He]
There's something that needs to be dealt with in the backyard. I'll be right back.
All right, come back as soon as you can.
Censor Li.
- Congratulations! - Thank you, thank you!
You mustn't blame us if Eldest Miss hadn't eloped with someone inciting the Master's anger.
You're now running around, causing a commotion.
It's no wonder the Madame is infuriated.
Why are you blabbering so much?
Don't disturb the guests in the front. Hurry!
You!
Move aside!
Halt, halt!
Catch her!
My Lady... My Lady...
Please, I beg you, tell me where Haolan is. Where is she? [Imperial Censor's Concubine: Madam Wang]
How many times have I told you already?
Haolan eloped with someone, and is still missing.
Everyone in Handan City knows this.
It doesn't matter how many more times you ask, reality won't change.
No, no, no!
Haolan isn't a child without propriety,
she would never elope with someone!
And she'll never do anything to bring shame to the Li family.
There must have been an accident!
I beg you... I beg you!
It was all my fault in the past, all my fault.
I failed to teach my daughter properly and have caused you trouble.
I beg you to let her be.
Please tell me where she is.
Do you really want to know where she is?
I'll be your slave in my next life to repay you.
Please have pity!
Be my slave?
Look at your face, it's so pretty.
You don't look like someone who will wait on others.
I'm usually a very magnanimous person
and I won't need such a noble slave.
But if you want to see her,
it's not impossible.
You'll let me see my daughter?
I've even chosen the location for you.
You'll get to see each other very soon
and be able to enjoy family time together.
It's Xiuyu's big day today,
so I'll have to be sorry to you.
Send her on her way.
My Lady...
- Get up! Move! - No!
- Move! Quickly! - My Lady!
No! I refuse!
First comb signifies everlasting love.
Second comb signifies growing old together.
Third comb signifies longevity.
- Fourth comb— - Mother!
Look at how you're smiling. You've gotten your wish, right?
Mother, I can't bear to leave you.
My silly child.
No matter what you do, avoid being reckless and hasty.
Always walk slowly in small steps and maintain an elegant posture.
From now on, your future is bright.
Don't waste my efforts of plotting all this for you.
Yes, I will remember that.
I want to see My Lord. My Lord!
Move! Down you go!
Let go!
Mother!
Let me go!
Haolan!
Mother...!
- Haolan...! - Let go! Mother!
- Mother. - Haolan!
- What are all of you doing!? - Let go!
Let go!
Mother!
- Mother! - Haolan! - Go down!
Mother!
Mother...
Mother!
You're so lucky. You're actually still alive.
Gao Min!
You killed my mother!
Gao Min! You killed my mother!
So what?
Everything was fine originally.
If you had married Minister Yu, I may have let your mother live.
You are after all an obstacle.
Too bad that you were disobedient.
You brought this upon yourself.
You did it on purpose!
This wedding was scrupulously planned by you from the start.
I'm going to tell Father.
I must tell Father!
Do you still not understand?
If your father hadn't given his consent implicitly,
could I have done this?
No.
Father wouldn't...
Father dotes on me so much. He definitely wouldn't turn a blind eye!
The Li family is upright and honorable,
yet you tried to elope.
Now, My Lord no longer wants to see you.
Even Minister Yu doesn't want you anymore.
I'll have to take the trouble to find you another place to go.
Take her away.
- Gao Min! - Get up.
- Gao Min! Let go of me! - Take her away!
Mother...!
Congratulations...
Take her away.
Quickly!
There's an assassin after Grand Commandant. Find and capture the assailant!
Anyone withholding information will be charged with the same crime.
- Over here. - Hurry.
Hurry! Give chase.
Hurry. Over here.
Move. Where is he?
Over here. Hurry!
Catch up.
Stop!
Officer. Officer.
I've already told you. There's a customer inside. You can't go in.
Come out!
Who is it?
Disturbing our amorous peace.
What is the matter? [Businessman of Wei: Lü Buwei]
An assassin attacked the Grand Commandant. We're after the assailant.
Have you seen a stranger?
As everyone can see,
there is only a brothel patron here.
No assassins.
You look unfamiliar. You might be the assassin.
Taoyao, he says that I'm an assassin.
What do you think?
I can't say for sure.
What if you killed someone in your amorous dream?
No, no, no.
This is the most famous businessman in Handan City, Lü Buwei.
How could he be an assassin?
A lowly businessman.
Living so wildly. We'll investigate you first.
Take him away.
Yes, Sir.
Who dares?
A mere prostitute dares to cause a scene?
Don't you value your life?
Courtesans who are talented in music
can seduce the rich,
enter a harem, and control princes.
They have done much as spies for the state of Zhao.
Who dares look down on us?
Moreover, the captain of the Handan City guard
is one of my regulars.
If I were to whisper a few words,
he'll definitely fire you.
You--
We're all friends here.
Let's all get along.
What happened here today
should be kept a secret from the Captain.
Of course. Of course.
Let's go.
Wait. I'll show you out.
I helped you. How will you thank me?
For you.
Who is that?
That's the wealthy businessman from Wei.
Lü Buwei.
A common man. Yet acts so arrogant.
Don't you know? He's here every day.
Clears out all the stock.
Everyone at the auction house knows this.
Master, we're here.
He even has a human stool!
A mere parasitic businessman
is so ostentatious.
So arrogant.
Move. Move out of the way.
- Mister Lü is here. - Hello, Mister Lü.
Hi, Mister Lü.
Have a look at mine.
This is a premium coral.
It's substandard quality.
Mister Lü, Mister Lü, come and have a look at mine.
Look at these beads.
What do you think of the color?
Situ Que.
Yes, Master.
Everyone.
This is the legendary "Mermaid Tear."
Mermaid Tear?
The Mermaid Tear is the solidified tear drop of a mermaid.
It is the essence of the earth.
Who has ever seen such a rare treasure?
It really is a treasure.
In order to hold this one in a million jewel,
I used an intricately carved piece of magnolia
that's been infused in fragrance for a fortnight.
Even the sculpting on the box was handmade by a master craftsman.
Have a look. The bidding will start now.
How about this much?
Let me bid.
This much.
No, his bid is still too low.
Mister Lü, businessman of Wei
offers one thousand gold pieces, twenty heads of livestock and one hundred bolts of brocade.
This Mister Lü must be extremely wealthy.
All right, all right.
Mister Lü wins with the highest bid.
Mister Lü, my treasure is now yours.
Move aside. Move aside. Move aside!
This jewel... I don't need it.
What I bought was this beautiful box.
You're returning the jewel?
Who would do such a silly thing?
He doesn't want such a beautiful jewel. He just wants a box?
Such poor taste. He doesn't understand the value of things.
- Yes, that's right. - Let me pass.
My Master would like to speak to Mister Lü.
Please.
For what do I owe this pleasure?
I just wanted to ask
why you only want the beautiful box
yet abandoned such a rare treasure?
There are many legendary jewels in the world.
All it needs is a story to make it a rare treasure.
Who cares if everyone in the world praises it with a deluge of heavenly flowers (extravagant embellishment)?
In my eyes, it's still a regular jewel.
Oh? Then what's so special about the box?
The average man lacks foresight.
The box is not made of regular magnolia.
It is fragrant rosewood.
This tree usually only grows on high and insurmountable overhanging cliff.
It is in itself, a valuable resource.
- Furthermore... - Furthermore?
As long as I like it,
what is a thousand gold pieces? I would even pay ten thousand gold pieces.
True. As long as you like it, ten thousand gold pieces would still be worth it.
Mister Lü, since I've already sold the jewel, I can't take it back.
Please take it with you.
A burden.
Master, the jewel is so bright.
Take it home. Even if to use it as a lamp.
I like this box.
But since everyone else likes this jewel a lot,
then every morning, between 9 am to 11 am, I'll open my main door widely and display the jewel.
So that everyone can see it at random.
Definitely! We'll be there.
We'll definitely come.
A thousand gold pieces for a jewel is nothing.
A thousand gold pieces for a case is the extraordinary thing.
Mister Lü generously exhibiting the jewel
will definitely attract many guests.
In the future, the name Lü Buwei
will be known across all the land. [Prime Minister of Zhao: Zhao Sheng]
Greetings, Prime Minister.
Mister Lü, I'm accepting your calling card.
I'll await your visit.
Good day, Prime Minister.
Everyone.
Everyone, listen to me.
You have already seen the most exceptional gem in the kingdom.
But have you seen such an exceptional beauty?
- I haven't seen it yet. - I haven't seen it yet. Show it to us.
I brought the goods here today. If you leave without seeing it,
you will definitely regret for the rest of your life.
Hurry up.
Come, bring them here.
Just these?
Hurry up. Move it.
Look at her. She's very beautiful.
What do you think of her?
I will fork out thirty gold pieces.
- Thirty gold pieces. - Fifty gold pieces.
Fifty gold pieces? It's a deal.
- Fine. - Thank you. - Please go to the back.
Thank you everyone for the acknowledgement.
- Come. - Let's take a look.
Who wants to name the price for this girl?
Move aside.
Come, take a step out to the front. Hurry up.
Give me a smile.
Mister Lü, take your time. Tell me when you see someone you like.
How about that one?
I will offer two hundred gold pieces.
You have good taste. It's her.
She's the one I want.
Mister Lü, this woman was supposed to be sold to the Qi State
but she inadvertently fell from the horse cart along the way.
Her face was ruined. We haven't been able to sell her.
We just brought her here to make up the numbers.
Your two hundred gold pieces are more than enough to buy these four or five excellent beauties.
- Look at— - I want her.
Master.
How is it?
The middleman collected one hundred gold pieces. He will definitely be discreet.
Understand now?
That's right.
This was all a great show directed and acted by me.
What's all that about "buying a wooden box and returning the jewel inside it", and then having a public auction?
It wasn't for the jewel or the box. It's for my reputation.
Because of this great show, the Prime Minister accepted our calling card for a visit.
Master can also make use of this exhibition to make more friends. That's killing two birds with one stone.
Today, not only did I gain the reputation of being the richest man in the kingdom,
I also gained an intelligent and beautiful woman.
Master, her face is so ugly. How can she be worth two hundred gold pieces?
Master, the scars on her face are fake?
Deceiving everyone by deliberately pretending to be an ugly woman with scars so that no one will buy you.
A pity that I, Lü Buwei, have seen countless beauties.
How can you escape my eyes?
Go back to the manor.
[Lü Manor]
- Master. - Situ Yue.
Show her to her room.
Yes, Master.
[Nationality: Wei. Situ Yue]
[Qinfang Pavilion]
I will take you to change your clothes first.
This woman doesn't seem like an ordinary person.
Situ Que.
- Master. - Investigate her history.
Yes, Sir. But Master, you caused such a ruckus today.
Would they suspect you of the theft at the Royal Commandant's Manor?
In order to get his hands on the treasure, that old man
does not hesitate to kill others for the goods. I'm just copying the Master.
Otherwise, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly for me.
That's right. If he dared to disclose this,
why would he claim to be after an assassin rather than a thief?
The pearl showed up in the market after being stolen.
It was bought legally by me. What's there to be afraid of?
Master is brilliant.
[Lu Manor]
Master, the results of my investigation have arrived.
Master, why did you buy this beauty?
For some unknown reasons, I find her very familiar.
Master, since that older sister came here, she has been sick.
Sick?
I've already called for the physician. Her illness is rather grave.
What kind of illness?
She doesn't eat, drink, cry or smile. She's just like a clay figurine.
The physician said that she's mentally ill.
Take it that I'm begging you. Please eat something.
If you don't eat or drink, you will die.
The carp sashimi was freshly caught today
yet she still refuses to eat.
I heard that you are mentally ill.
Do you want to die?
I'm a businessman, not a philanthropist.
Look at you. Other than a vacant beautiful face,
you are good for nothing else. And yet you show me that morbid tear streaked face everyday.
A pet dog would even know how to protect the courtyard. What can you do?
If you don't eat anything, who will feel sad for you?
Li Haolan, why are you being so difficult?!
You know who I am.
So, you can talk.
I had to do a background check on you.
One whose heart is broken to pieces wouldn't have such hatred.
Rather than dying from a hunger strike, why not tell me honestly
what kind of illness you have.
If I tell you,
will you be able to solve my problems?
I'm a businessman. I only do things for profit.
It'll depend on how you repay me.
As long as you can fulfill my wish,
I can agree to any condition of yours.
Fine.
Really?
A promise is worth its weight in gold.

[Treasure Box Shop]
Master, look at this jade.
It's crystal clear except for a small fleck.
It's so unfortunate it's worthless now.
It has been in the shop for a long time and no one has inquired about it.
What should we do?
What do you think the defect looks like?
This...
It's like a teardrop from a beautiful woman.
Go and find the best craftsman
and carve this jade into a tearful beauty.
In less than half a month, you will definitely be able to sell it for five hundred gold pieces.
Master, you have a discerning eye for jade.
Not only do I have a discerning eye for jade, I have it for people, too.
You gave me your promise.
Whatever I promised you, I will definitely fulfill it it today.
[Treasure Box]
Welcome, Esteemed Guests.
This way, please.
Esteemed Guest, please take a look.
This hairpin inlaid with ruby gemstone looks like a red cloud of flame.
And also this, this is a gold jade bracelet.
And over here, too. Please come this way.
This necklace is made from an exquisite crystal.
Does it look nice? I won't hide this from you.
The concubines and women from the palace are our regular customers.
What's on sale here are the trendiest accessories and second to none.
Looking at how esteemed you are, why don't you go in our private room and take your time to choose?
In addition to jewelry, we also have fine fabric from the Qi country.
An exquisite embroidery from Chu country and felt handkerchiefs from Yan country.
We even have treasures from the West.
We have everything here.
Prince Jiao, about this...
Just go.
This way, please.
Your Highness.
Haolan.
Haolan, what are you doing here?
Your Highness, did you hand over the secret letter to Madam Gao?
I didn't know anything about it.
Xiuyu didn't deliver the letter to you?
She didn't.
I didn't see her at all.
So, it was her.
Your Highness, Xiuyu and Madam Gao framed me for eloping with someone,
got me expelled from my family and even killed my mother.
Your Highness, please, help me.
Haolan, I can't help you.
No one in this world can help you.
Your Highness.
Your Highness, Your Highness...
Not only did you elope with someone, you even falsely accused your mother and younger sister!
Do you even know the word "shameless?"
Your Highness, why are you treating me like this?
Because I believe Xiuyu.
She's naturally kind and is always concerned about you.
She even made me search all over the Handan City for you.
But when you show up, you blame her instead. Do you even consider her your sister?!
Older Sister.
What happened to you?
Why did you commit such a big mistake?
Do you know our father fainted from his anger?
So, this is how it is.
Prince Jiao...
You knew everything,
yet you still married her!
What have I done wrong in marrying Xiuyu?
We met as children, and have already exchanged promises.
You've always said you'd marry no one else but me.
That if you were to let me down, it would feel like ten thousand arrows stabbing through your heart, and the heavens would forbid.
Did you forget your promise?
I know that you and Haolan love each other
but her birth mother is a low ranking concubine.
It won't help your grand plans.
Xiuyu is different. She came from the Gao family, which is a well established and powerful family.
Her family background will provide great support for you.
But Li Haolan is the one whom I love.
I already promised her that
I will never betray her in this life.
She's in disrepute now. How can you be dragged down with her?
Your great aspiration, your great undertaking.
What's more important? The Zhao Kingdom? Or a woman?
Can you really not tell?
I've always loved Xiuyu
and not someone vile like you.
I was planning to speak up for you.
Looking at how you have fallen into this state now,
you totally brought it upon yourself.
Your Highness, Older Sister is very pitiful.
She's infamous now and without a family and home.
Can you please take her in?
I can slowly convince my father.
Once he has changed his mind, we will escort Older Sister back to the manor.
There's no need to feign innocence.
Saying that I eloped with someone.
Saying that I'm shameless.
What a ridiculous story!
My only mistake
was being blind and trusted the wrong person.
Since ancient times, no wanton eloper has ever been allowed into a noble house (via marriage).
I'll never take in this kind of woman.
Look at the both of you.
One is a hypocrite and the other is shameless.
It's clear your noble house is used to hide dirt and conceal corruption.
Even if one day, you knelt down and begged me,
I will never enter.
What are you doing? Do you want to die?
Did you forget everything you've promised me?
I'm not a philanthropist. Why should I raise and feed you for nothing?
Once you have fulfilled your wish, you want to kick me aside.
Where in the world is a cheap deal like this?!
Li Haolan, did you hear what I said to you?
Did you hear me?
Come with me.
Do you see this?
Look down.
Look at it diligently!
See yourself clearly.
You are a downright idiot and a loser.
When I met you for the first time, I thought you were like me.
I saw a fighting spirit in your eyes.
That's why I bought you.
I thought you could be carved into a beautiful piece of jade.
But I realize now, I have misjudged you.
What beautiful jade?
You are just a block of hard rock. A block of hard rock.
Heaven is cruel.
Don't think just because you are innocent, it will treat you well.
Someone who can't get up after a hard blow
can only become a piece of useless trash forever.
I did work hard.
I have been working hard
but in the end, what did I achieve?
Family, relatives...
Do you know...
I have lost everything?
Even my biological father
wants to expel me from the manor.
Success is due to your diligence and hard work.
Failure is from your stupidity and laziness.
The truth is clear,
you haven't tried hard enough.
Stop finding excuses for yourself.
If you want to live, put on an armor and fight.
Don't sit here trying to garner sympathy.
If you died just now,
wouldn't you have any regrets?
Wouldn't you feel the pain?
Such a useless person like you, even if you don't die,
you will also harm others.
Master, aren't you being too harsh?
Li Haolan.
If you find that living is too painful,
I won't stop you. But if I were you,
I will never die because of those people.
This world doesn't belong to them. It's mine.
Look carefully.
This magnificent city was built for me.
This huge land is waiting for me to conquer it.
The sun, moon, stars and everything under the sky
exist because of me.
They are just my foil.
Does that group of moles and ants (tiny individuals with no power) want to influence my life?
There will come a day
when I will step on them.
You are downright crazy.
I only wanted my mother to live.
I want to go home. I want to go home!
You don't have a home anymore.
Your only family member is already dead.
I have said what I ought to say.
Go and die now.
Go ahead and jump. Everything will end.
Your enemies will be happy. They will have one less unsightly bug.
But let me tell you,
you owe me a lot of money.
If you can't pay me back in this lifetime,
remember to be a slave and repay me in the next lifetime.
Master.
Isn't she in a hurry to die?
All this has nothing to do with us.
You just got married and you're wandering everywhere.
The Prince should reign you in.
He is always busy with his own matters.
As if he has the time to take care of me.
Mother, I'm here today regarding an urgent matter.
What is it that's making you so angry?
I met her.
She's such a haunting ghost who refuses to leave.
She even dared to look for the Prince.
Haolan?
Mother, you wanted to send her far away
but she keeps returning again and again.
I really don't understand.
Why do you still let her be alive?
When I informed your father about Madam Wang's death from falling into the water,
he has already started to be suspicious.
If Hao...
If Haolan were to die,
that would be letting her off too easily.
I don't understand.
I let her live to let her feel that living is no better than death.
What if Father were to find out about this?
So what?
She was always Father's favourite.
What if Father recovers and finds out that everything was our plot?
Wouldn't it...
If she dies, whenever your father thinks about her, he will be angry with me.
But if she lives, this will be the Li family's biggest humiliation.
Just think about this marriage. Minister Yu is already furious about this.
I want to see if his precious daughter is important
or whether his future official career is more important.
But I still don't want to have this future problem.
What do you want to do then?

♫ Wishing for you and me to be immortalized with the wind... ♫
♫ In retrospection with a faint smile, that beautiful countenance caused the city's downfall ♫
♫ And a sweeping upheaval all across the vast nation ♫
♫ In a dimming dream of an illusionary bright moon ♫
♫ We have given our promises to each other in this lifetime ♫
♫ In the complete decline of prosperity, watching the passing of thousands of sails ♫
♫ With affection, perhaps we could wait to be connected again ♫
♫ Like the zither and the harp that play in perfect harmony, let’s grasp each other's hand to stay together ♫
♫ Wishing for you and me to be immortalized with the wind... ♫
