♪Leaning against the tower, it returns my gaze♪ [The Legend of Anle] [Adapted from a novel by Xing Ling] [Episode 1] [Residence of Marquis Jing’an] (Angered by his betrayal, the emperor Han Zhongyuan) [Marquis Zhongyi, Gu Yunnian Grand Chancellor of the Left, Jiang Yu] No. Don’t kill us. No. No! [Last survivor of the Di family, Di Ziyuan] Stop it! It’s only right to exterminate the whole family of a traitor. Nonsense! Everyone in our family has been nothing but loyal. We would never commit treason. Di Ziyuan. It’s your turn. Hold it! Spare her life!
[Crown Prince of Jing, Han Ye] Your Highness. Your Highness. Di Ziyuan, receive this decree. “Di Yongning, the traitor, has colluded with the Northern Qin enemies to sabotage our state. Hence, only by spilling the blood of the Di family will justice and law be upheld.
Therefore, all nine generations of the Di family shall be exterminated, and the daughter of Di Yongning, Di Ziyuan, shall be imprisoned in Yongning Temple, Dai Mountain. Her lifetime exile begins now.” Your Highness. According to the law, Di Ziyuan should be beheaded. Gu Yunnian, look closely. Ziyuan. This is the emperor’s decree.
But the position of the Crown Princess will only be yours. That’s just your wishful thinking. The late emperor may have appointed me the Crown Princess. But Han Ye, now that I’m the sole surviving member of the Di family, do you think I can still be your Crown Princess?
The journey to Dai Mountain is long. Ziyuan. Take care. [Caiwei Pavilion] [The Thirteen Classics, Notes and Commentaries] Your Highness. You insist on marrying no one else but Di Ziyuan. Ever since the Di family was wiped out, [Crown Prince of Jing, Han Ye] she has rejected the position of Crown Princess.
It’s been ten years since she was sent to Dai Mountain for imprisonment. [Servant to the Crown Prince, Jili] Despite your frequent gifts, she refuses to reply to you. Meanwhile, you keep defying His Majesty’s orders to take in consorts. Is this worth it? Jili. Once these items are paid for,
Wrap them properly in wax paper. Yes, Your Highness. Take them back. Move it! Official Luo. [Minister of Justice, Luo Mingxi] Your Highness, you keep sending gifts to Dai Mountain every three months over the past ten years. Unfortunately, objects are cold. They can never be compared to a warm heart. Did I say something wrong? You were Ziyuan’s guard when she was young.
I thought, out of everyone in the state, you know the best that I will marry no one but her. So what if you insist? His Majesty is already looking for someone to replace her. This is why I have requested to travel south and exterminate the pirates at Dongqian
To resolve the safety crisis in the Southeast. If I succeed this time, I hope to plead my case in front of His Majesty so that Ziyuan can leave the mountain. Luo Mingxi. Please call me Official Luo. Official Luo. My journey to Jingnan will be filled with uncertainties.
If I do not return in time, please send these gifts… Your Highness. I’m afraid I can’t help you send these gifts to Dai Mountain. Please take care on your journey. I have other matters to attend to. I shall take my leave. [Anle Abode, Jingnan] [The east wind rises.] The east wind rises.
That means an important guest is coming. Your Highness. The Dongqian pirate ships are heading towards the coast again. Send this letter to the Southeast Camp immediately. When the time comes, deploy the troops to exterminate the pirates. Yes, Your Highness. Looks like it’s about to rain. What are your plans, Your Highness?
This is an urgent situation. I’ll check on the pier again. We’ll rendezvous later. Yes, Your Highness. It’s raining. Let’s go. Jili. Give them this umbrella. Send my letter to the camp after that. Your Highness. Your health is as precious as gold. How could I do this? Go ahead. Your Highness, please do take care. Here you go. Take this umbrella. Thank you. It’s nothing. [Dongqian Pirate Fleet] That’s the man. He perfectly fits the chief’s description. Let’s go. Inform our brothers. Miss? Trying to take advantage of me while I’m asleep, you scoundrel? I apologize for my inappropriate actions that have caused your misunderstanding. I… I noticed you sleeping here in thin layers. I was worried that you might catch a cold. I meant you no harm. No harm, you say?
But you were being so sneaky. I’ve explained to you. We’re of opposite sexes. Miss, please let me go for your own good. You have a great demeanor. I’m flattered. I can’t even praise you now? I know I have wronged you. You are a decent man. Thank you. It’s wet there.
Sit down over here. It’s fine. Thank you for your kind intentions. Miss. You shouldn’t be sleeping here all alone. Why not? I sleep wherever I go. What’s wrong with that? You might attract people with malicious motives. A malicious guy who would cover me up in the rain? My apologies for my indiscreet advice.
Follow me, that guy is over there! The spies from Dongqian are here. Run! Miss! Miss! Over there! Hurry up! Don’t run! Miss! Miss! We can stop running. They’re not after us anymore. It’s too early to tell. They’re a bunch of crooks. It’s obvious that you’re from a noble family.
I bet you’ve never had any experience with this. You look experienced, though. May I ask what you do for a living? Cold blood runs in a snake’s body, and a pungent stench wafts around a wolf. I’m a wanderer in Jianghu. I can judge a book by its cover.
I guess my worries were unfounded. Still, rest assured, miss. Even if they catch up, I will protect you. You won’t even get a scratch. Don’t say that just yet. A powerful outlander can’t suppress a local villain. We still need to hide if we have to. Check the pier! Hide now! Search over there.
They’re gone. Miss. You can get up now. They’ve gone far. Don’t move. They might come back again. What are you doing? Better be safe than sorry. Alright. I’m sure they won’t catch up now. Isn’t it dangerous to go out to sea at this hour? It’s still safe for now. We’re traveling downwind.
The winds might change when we return, though. Miss. Have you been wandering around alone over the years? It’s free to be alone. Nothing holds me back, and I can do whatever I want. Besides, I’m a lucky girl. Fate always brings the right people to me. That’s why I met you today. It’s about to rain. Mister. When are you going to row ashore at this pathetic rate? Come on. I’ll teach you how to row. Lift the oar up. Miss, I can do it myself. Then, put the oar down and row. Miss, I can manage. Put the oar down. -See? -I can row myself. Row. The oar. Don’t move!
You… You told me not to move. Mister. You can’t row, but you didn’t wake me up. Is it because you care about me? I didn’t want to trouble a stranger. It takes a century of affinity to get on the same boat. Looks like we share a deep connection.
Now that the sea is calm, how will we go back? It’s a sunny day, and it’s just the two of us. Obviously, Heaven wants us to spend some alone time together. You can’t run away from fate. Miss. I have something urgent to handle in Jingnan.
I can’t waste so much time on the sea. Well… Miss, is there anything I can do for you? The sea is calm. Since you’re eager to leave, are you willing to do anything I ask of you? Take your clothes off. What are you doing? How can I make a sail without cloth? Fine.
Since you won’t take off your clothes, I’ll take mine off. Miss, don’t do this. Mister. For you, I’ll give up more than my clothes. Miss. No need for this. Aren’t you in a rush to leave? I’m helping you now. Miss. Some ships are coming this way. [Dongqian Pirate Fleet] It’s the Dongqian Pirates.
These pirates are vicious and merciless. We need to leave here right now. Mister, can you tread water? Capsized boat spotted! General! Mister, you can’t row a boat, but you sure know how to tread in water. I don’t deserve such high praise. To survive in this world,
We have to acquire a skill or two. Mister, we’ve just met not long ago, and you’re calling yourself a wanderer in Jianghu. Looks like we have much in common. Not at all. In fact, you’re braver than I thought. The Dongqian Pirates are just in front of us,
And you still have the mood for banter. Mister, you ought to spend more time with me, and then you’ll be surprised how bold you can be. What should we do now? When the time comes, you should leave while I lure them away. If you’re not leaving, I won’t. Turn the boat over. Mister.
If we manage to get out of this alive, I shall marry you. Enemy spotted! It’s the Anle Abode! General, it’s the Anle Abode! Anle Abode? Mister, remember what I told you. If we get out of this alive, I will marry you for sure. Welcome aboard, Chief! Welcome aboard, Chief!
[Servants to Ren Anle, Yuanqin and Yuanshu] Welcome aboard, Chief! I am Ren Anle, the Chief of Anle Abode. [Chief of Anle Abode, Ren Anle] If you petty evildoers dare invade Jing, I will… What will I do? You will eradicate them all! Eradicate them all! I will eradicate them all! See? I told you. Don’t write such fancy words for the Chief. She can’t remember them. Seventy-nine. Dongqian Pirates. Death count, 79. Ren Anle! Mister, that’s the first time you called my name. I like it. Young Lady, I’m coming to help you! Out of the way! Can’t you see I have help already? Even with the enemy in front of us, you’re still trying to protect me.
How dare these Dongqian Pirates hurt my man. Wait. What are they doing? Applying medicine. Applying medicine? Mister, I’m not trying to take advantage of you. I’m applying medicine to your wound. Who knows if they poisoned their arrows? If you don’t apply medicine in time, you might lose your arm. Chief Ren, have some respect for both of us.
We’re under the scrutiny of the public. Nice! The public? Come here. Pretend that she doesn’t exist. Come on. Don’t move. I can manage. Chief. The navy forces from the Southeast are here. There’s a fleet ahead. They’re from Anle Abode. Quick, get ready! These military slowpokes only arrive after the battle has ended.
Alright, then. Feed the dead bodies to the fish. We’re retreating. No need. I know them. Mister, you’re from the military? All the more reason we need to retreat. Move it! Keep everything! Throw the bodies into the sea! Yes, Chief! Hurry up! Your Highness, I’m here! I am the Crown Prince of Jing,
Han Ye. You are the Crown Prince of Jing? Now that I’ve saved you, doesn’t that mean I will become the Crown Princess? Chief Ren, you did save me. By right, I… Regardless of anything, I should thank you. But, about the position of Crown Princess, I already have a fiancee.
I saved your life and you only said thank you. Your Highness. You must be joking. Chief Ren, what do you want? I will do my best to grant your wishes. What I want is you. Alright, I’m taking this as the engagement gift. My apologies. I told you
My late grandfather had betrothed me to another lady. And you will marry no one but her? I will marry no one but her. Even if I offer a navy force of 30,000 men as my dowry, are you still not changing your mind? Chief Ren, it was brave and kind of you
To help the state eradicate the pirates. You have the potential to become a general. If you’d like, I can recommend you to the imperial court. Your Highness. What I want is you, not an official position. I saved your life, and we spent a night together.
The Crown Prince gave me his treasured ornament as the engagement gift, while I offered a navy force of 30,000 men as my dowry. Your Highness. Thank you. It’s a deal. I hope you’ll follow through. Ren Anle. Since when did I promise you anything? That doesn’t matter.
The thing is, everyone knows about it now. Your Highness! The Crown Prince is going to Anle Abode with me. Send someone there to pick him up tomorrow. Jili, Jili! A wasted effort. Jili! Jili! Your Highness! I’m here! Your Highness! Your Highness! This is the entirety of what happened. Chief Ren offered her 30,000 naval soldiers in exchange for the position of Crown Princess. [Emperor Jiachang of Jing, Han Zhongyuan] Her offer was just a whim at that moment. [Grand Chancellors, Wei Jian and Jiang Yu] It should not be taken seriously.
“My 30,000 navy sailors and I will pledge allegiance to Jing. I do not need anything else in return. All I ask for is the position of Crown Princess. All I ask for is the position of Crown Princess. All I ask for is the position of Crown Princess.” She wrote the same sentence thrice.
Ren Anle is an interesting figure, I see. So, Your Highness, you spent the entire night with her. Grand Chancellor of the Left, please mind your words. I have nothing to do with Ren Anle. She healed my wound, that’s all. Your Majesty. Regardless of anything else, Ren Anle’s 30,000 naval soldiers
[Marquis Zhongyi, Gu Yunnian] is the only chance to restore peace in Jingnan. Naturally. However, this decision entails huge implications. Are we really going to make her the Crown Princess? Please think twice, Your Majesty. You may leave. The Crown Prince stays. Crown Prince. You exterminated the Dongqian Pirates this time.
I am heartened to hear that. However, while a man establishes his career, he needs to build a family as well. I am committed to honor my late grandfather’s order. I will marry no one else except Ziyuan. The Dongqian Pirates have been decimated. I dare not take the credit,
But I beg you, Your Majesty, to release Di Ziyuan from exile. If we follow your logic, Ren Anle was indispensable in exterminating the Dongqian Pirates, and what she wants is also the position of Crown Princess. I will do my best to persuade her to receive other rewards instead.
The daughter of a sinful official and a female pirate from the outskirts are both unfit to become the Crown Princess. The Spring Hunt is on the 15th day of this month. Get ready for it. Yes, Your Majesty. [Ministry of Justice] Your Highness. Luo Mingxi. You should change your bad habit of walking stealthily. This is how I have always been walking. Your Highness, you should get used to it. Have a seat. Why have you come to visit me at this late hour? What’s the point of yearning for her?
The emperor still refuses to release Ziyuan. Moreover, during the Spring Hunt in a few days’ time, the emperor has invited many noble ladies for you to meet. That’s why you’re the only one I can talk to about Ziyuan. I’ve never felt pressured by the palace’s constant urging.
I’m just scared that since ten years have passed, even I am beginning to forget what she looks like. She must have grown older, taller, and become different from what we recall, but her eyes would never change. It’s her eyes. Just remembering how she looked at me with those eyes,
I can never enjoy the extravagant banquets His Majesty has prepared for me. His Majesty reserves the position of the Crown Princess for me. Again, has he ever asked for my opinion? The Crown Prince is here. The Crown Prince is here. It really is him. It’s His Highness! I heard that a female pirate is trying to marry the Crown Prince. What a joke. Exactly.
His Highness is so dashing. He wouldn’t pay attention to a pirate. Exactly. What do you think Ren Anle looks like? She must be a barbarian with strong, burly arms. Right? I’m going to bet that she’s a beauty, though. Wen Shuo. You’re joining our bet too? Someone who could fight alongside the Crown Prince
[Page to the Crown Prince, Wen Shuo] to defeat the Dongqian Pirates could never be an ugly woman. Everyone knows that the Crown Prince is pining for someone. Even though she can’t leave Dai Mountain, she won’t get replaced easily by a female pirate. Exactly.
Do you think the Crown Prince has really fallen in love with her? I don’t think so. I don’t think so, either. Now, everyone in the upper echelons of the state must have heard that the Crown Prince is the most handsome man in the state, and even a female pirate
Is willing to offer 30,000 navy forces just so you’ll marry her. No. She wants to marry you. Have you revised your studies? I know. Even if you do fall in love with someone else, only that lady in the Dai Mountain will be the Crown Princess. But, we’re placing bets
On whether Ren Anle is pretty or burly. Your Highness, mind giving me a tip? Jili? Well? Look. [Ren Anle’s servant, Yuanqin] She’s as beautiful as the morning sun and a lily blossoming on a lake. Where did she come from? She killed two birds with one shot! Amazing! Marvelous! Your Highness. We meet again.
