ADAPTED FROM DEMON KING
OF JINJIANG LITERATURE CITY

ORIGINAL WORK BY JIULU FEIXIANG

More to the left.

Left?

-Come help me.
-No.

-Coming.
-A little to the right.

-Like this?
-Yes.

-Right there.
-All right.

Ma'am, the beans and saddle are ready.

-Put them inside.
-Yes.

What are those for?

-Those beans and saddle.
-Be careful.

These are the wedding customs
in the Mortal World.

To sprinkle beans and cross the saddle.

Beans are auspicious
and can ward off evil.

Crossing the saddle signifies safety.

These are wishes to the couple

for a happy and safe life after marriage.

But we didn't have much time,

so we can only keep it simple.

Otherwise, there's giving
of betrothal geese, walking on sacks,

proposing, checking bazi, choosing
an auspicious day, picking up the bride.

There are many customs.

There are so many wedding customs
in the Mortal World.

There is also

a wedding custom in the Dragon Clan.

A man will scrape off
his hardest dragon scale

and give it to his wife.

Scrape off the dragon scale?

That is too cruel.

Without the dragon scale's protection,

it's like exposing his most fragile part

to the person he loves.

It means

he's willing to listen to her,

be bullied by her,

and be deceived by her.

I'm going to check the wedding dress
for Orchid.

I'm very busy today.

I don't have time to listen
to Dragon Clan's weird fetish.

ORCHID RESIDENCE

We've searched the house,

but we couldn't find it.

We've searched everywhere outside
but still couldn't find it.

That's a premium bead from the East Sea.

I'll deduct your annual salary
if you can't find it.

Jieli.

This is a fake wedding.

Don't be so angry.

Even if the wedding is fake,
the bead is real.

It's worth a lot of money.

After the show, I need…

to keep it for Mr. Dongfang.

You girls,

find it in the east yard with me.

-Yes.
-Yes.

It's almost time.

Why haven't you changed
into the wedding dress yet?

Lady Wanqing.

Why are you here?

I heard you lost your jewelry.

I don't know if you can find it.

So I brought all my jewelry

to you.

See if there's anything you like.

A girl's wedding is very important.

You need to dress up to look beautiful.

Sit.

This one looks nice.

It suits your complexion very well.

Let me put it on you.

There's no need.

Thank you, Lady Wanqing.

Why are you so shy?

After tonight,

I'll be your sister-in-law.

Logically speaking,

I should care more

about your wedding.

Although Mr. Dongfang is your brother,

he is a man.

He is not that thoughtful.

If you have any worries or difficulties
that you can't tell him about

in the future,

just let me know.

Let's go.

Come on, Mr. Dongfang, hurry.

I told you.
I have no family or friends in Lucheng.

No one will send me gifts.

Just go by yourself.

You never know.

Congratulations,
Xiao Run and Mr. Dongfang.

-Thank you.
-Here are two purple jade bracelets.

One for each of you.

Thank you.

Please come in.

After you.

Congratulations, Xiao Run, Mr. Dongfang.

This Youyang Scroll is for you.

Thank you.

And two jars of good wine from Green Lake.

-Thank you. Please come in.
-We must get drunk today.

What's going on?

Didn't you say
that you don't have friends in Lucheng?

You're wrong.

First,

we are sworn brothers.

Second,

after this wedding,

you'll be my brother-in-law.

So?

So

I made it clear on the wedding invitation.

If they send a gift to me,

they need to send you one.

From now on,

my friends

are your friends.

They have to consider you
their brother-in-law

like me.

Are you touched?

It's nothing.

Look.

From there to there.

As long as I have it,

you, my brother-in-law,

must have it too.

Congratulations, Xiao Run, Mr. Dongfang.

Thank you.

-Come in, please.
-Please come in.

-Please.
-Congratulations.

-Congratulations.
-Greet them. I'll entertain them inside.

-Let's go inside.
-Congratulations, Xiao Run.

Please come in.

Please come in.

Let's go.

Why are you hiding here?

That's my question.

You should be entertaining guests.

Why are you here?

I…

I'm going now.

Wait.

I'm in a bad mood.

Chat with me.

In Arbiter Hall before,

I had to organize
a lot of mortals' Destiny Books every day.

But at that time,

their birth, death,

joy, sorrow, parting, and reunion

are just like a red leaf

on the fate tree

for me.

The leaf blooms and it falls.

It falls and then blooms.

Everything is predestined.

But now,

after these few days

in the Mortal World

in Lucheng,

I discovered

that marriage, funerals,

happiness, and sadness

are very important things.

Just now,
when Lady Wanqing came to me happily

and placed a golden hairpin on my hair,

I felt really sad.

Although I know she is destined
to die tonight,

at the thought

that we lied to her

and she's going to die tonight,

I feel so…

Forget it.

I've told you so much,

but you don't understand.

I do.

This is the first time I felt this too.

Xiao Run told me earlier

that his friends

are my friends.

Towards a mortal…

No.

Towards an enemy,

I can't believe I'd feel guilty.

He is Xiao Run.

He's not Changheng.

He is not your enemy.

Tonight,

can we

forget about the Fairy Tribe,

the Moon Tribe,

and the differences between them?

You are not the Moon Supreme

nor am I a fairy.

Let's be mortals for a day.

All right?

All right.

Here.

Enjoy. Excuse me.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Cricket.

You're finally back? Where have you been?

It's my wedding day.
What's with your facial expression?

Forget it.

Let's go. Get changed.

Cricket.

Tell me honestly.

Where did you go today?

Tell me.

Cricket--

Cricket.

What are you doing?

Cricket.

Cricket.

Why are you crying?

Did you get dumped?

Or are you in debt?

I know.

Do you think I'll leave you

after I get married?

Don't worry.
We've known each other since childhood.

We're like brothers.

How can I leave you?

Look.

Today is my wedding day.

After I get married,

I'll find you a beautiful girl
from a good family, all right?

Don't cry.

Get dressed.

Cricket.

Isn't this the bead on the Phoenix Crown?

Why is it here?

Give it to Lady Orchid.

She's applying makeup
in the west yard with Lady Wanqing.

Hurry up. Go.

You are

the servant of Xiao Run.

What are you doing here?

Lady Orchid, a bead on the Phoenix Crown

is left
in my young master's wedding attire.

I came to bring it.

So it was left with him.

Follow me.

How strange.

She was here just now.

Qu Shui.

Why are you here?

Xiao Run asked me to give this to you.

He…

He asked me to tell Lady Orchid something.

They'll be husband and wife
in a few hours.

He is so clingy.

Forget it.

I can't hear

his secrets for you.

Orchid.

You look good in your wedding dress.

It took you so much effort

to finally marry him.

Are you happy now?

Qu Shui.

No.

Are you Danyin?

What's the matter?

Are you afraid I'll ruin your plan?

This facial expression.

This tone.

You were this way

when you bullied me before.

Fairy Danyin.

It's really you.

What are you doing?

I just haven't seen someone
from Shuiyuntian for a long time.

I'm a little excited.

By the way,

why did you and Lord Changheng come
to Mortal World to experience tribulation?

Can you explain it to me?

You should tell me

why you are hanging out
with Dongfang Qingcang first.

And you two look close.

It's a long story.

Forget it.

I'll settle this with you later on.

The most important thing now

is to find a way to save Lord Changheng.

Lord Yunzhong already knew
about the tribulation.

In order to stop Dongfang Qingcang,

he asked me…

What did he ask you to do?

He asked me to k*ll
the former God of w*r's mortal body

to stop the tribulation.

k*ll Lady Wanqing?

Why?

Wasn't the former God of w*r
a hero of Shuiyuntian?

Besides, if we do this,

Lord Changheng's spirit
will dissipate too.

Lord Yunzhong said

we have to sacrifice Changheng

for Shuiyuntian.

But I don't want to do that.

Of course.

Fairy Danyin.

We must find a way to protect them.

Of course.

Even if I die,

I will protect Changheng.

Orchid,

tell me.

How can I help them
experience tribulation smoothly?

According to the fate poem,

on the wedding night,

Xiao Run must k*ll Lady Wanqing,

then they can deal with this smoothly
and ascend.

With Xiao Run's personality,

how can he k*ll people?

I don't know.

You don't know?

Then why are you doing this?

To try your luck?

Calm down, Fairy Danyin.

I've read so many Destiny Books.

There are weirder fate poems than this.

But before the tribulation happens,

I can't figure out the meaning either.

Let's wait and see.

We can't just stand by.

He cares about you the most now.

If there is no other way,

I will hold a knife on your neck

and force him.

Are you serious?

Of course.

If that doesn't work,

I'll cut you.

I don't believe he won't do it.

I have to go.

Let's improvise tonight.

Fairy Danyin.

-Lord Ronghao.
-Lord Ronghao.

Why are you in Lucheng?

Changheng is in danger.

I can't ignore him.

Even if Changheng
can deal with it this time,

if he wants to leave safely,

there's one person we must keep an eye on.

Are you referring

to Dongfang Qingcang?

Dongfang Qingcang is powerful.

In the three realms, the only one
that can fight with him is Changheng.

And tonight is a good chance
to get rid of Changheng,

so Dongfang Qingcang
will definitely k*ll him.

We need to find a way to lure him away.

Fairy Orchid.

You are the only one who can do that.

Because he doesn't believe anyone
aside from you.

And only you

can get close to him.

I…

But…

But what?

Orchid.

Do you want to save Changheng or not?

Of course I do.

That's it.

There's something

that you might not know yet.

Fairy Orchid, aren't you curious

why Changheng was willing to risk his life

by jumping off Shenshui Hall
to experience tribulation?

You don't understand my feeling

because you've never loved someone
like I do.

Lord Changheng is experiencing tribulation

because of me?

Because you have always been

the one he loves.

Due to Changheng's engagement
with the Goddess,

he couldn't tell you.

So over the years,

he had looked for the Goddess everywhere

to break off the engagement

and be with you openly.

And that Firefly Stone.

He traveled around and found it

for you.

You shouldn't hear these things from me.

But since the situation is critical,

I have to say it.

Fairy Orchid.

I don't know if you will appreciate

the effort Changheng exerted

for you.

But his situation now

was caused by you.

Orchid.

Why are you hesitating?

If Lord Changheng is gone,

who else can fight with him?

Dongfang Qingcang is not a bad person.

He is not what you think.

-He--
-How dare you defend him?

Are you crazy?

Fairy Orchid.

Do you know?

If Dongfang Qingcang

takes my master's primordial spirit,

not only can't I see my master,

but the three realms
will also be in misery.

Many people will lose their families.

Lord Ronghao.

What are you talking about?

Don't you know?

What does

Dongfang Qingcang want?

Please tell me.

Dongfang Qingcang

wants to take
my master's primordial spirit

to break the seal of the Shuofeng Sword

and regain 100,000 soldiers

to fight against Shuiyuntian.

That's impossible.

That's impossible.

It's true.

In the w*r 30,000 years ago,

the former God of w*r

sealed 100,000 soldiers

with the Shuofeng Sword.

My master's spiritual mark

is on the Shuofeng Sword.

The seal can only be broken

with my master's primordial spirit.

Did you come to Lucheng

just to relax?

Or is there something else?

Nothing else.

Are you lying to me?

No.

I'm just here to relax.

Lord Ronghao.

What should I do?

This is a bottle

of poison.

It can weaken his power temporarily

and stall him for a while.

During that time,

I can take my master's primordial spirit

and leave with Changheng safely.

I'm counting on you.

Lady Orchid.

It's almost an auspicious time.

Where are you?

-Orchid.
-Lady Orchid!

Make sure he takes the poison

and make sure nothing goes wrong.

Got it?

Yes.

I believe

you won't ignore Changheng

and watch the three realms suffer
from the w*r

and plunge into misery.

Nice.

Very nice.

Congratulations.

-Congratulations. It's so lively.
-Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Xiao Run, we're going to toast
to Mr. Dongfang.

-All right.
-Let's go.

Mr. Dongfang.

Mr. Dongfang, congratulations.

May you have a baby soon.

Let me fill up your cup.

How about I drink from the jar?

-All right.
-Here.

You're a good drinker.

-Mr. Dongfang, here's a toast to you.
-A toast to you.

Here.

-Congratulations.
-Let me fill this up again.

-This way.
-Be careful.

Slow down.

Come on.

-Here.
-May you have a baby soon.

Watch your steps.

-Be careful.
-All right.

DONGFANG MANSION

JADE RESIDENCE

I'm happy today,

so I drank more.

Forgive me

if I smell bad.

My bride.

We're the only ones in the room.

You can put down the fan now.

Lady Wanqing.

Why are you here?

Those servants must have been drunk

and sent you to the wrong wedding room.

Please wait for a moment.

I'll go get someone.

It's all right.

Cricket.

Cricket.

Xiao Run and Lady Wanqing

have already met in the wedding room.

We just need to wait

for their destiny to happen.

Don't you think

this feels a little familiar tonight?

At that time,
you had just arrived Cangyan Sea.

In order to switch back,

we waited for lightning at night.

Just like now,

it was just the two of us.

We talked together

and looked at the night sky.

No one disturbed us.

Do you remember?

Yes.

You were so silly

and thought I would eat you.

It's weird.

We've only known each other
for three months,

but I feel like I have known you
for 30,000 years.

I've seen you wearing the clothes
of the Fairy Tribe,

the Moon Tribe,

and now of mortals.

But the most beautiful one on you

is the wedding dress tonight.

Drink with me.

Although today's wedding is fake,

I am very happy.

It's like

I'm really married.

Moon Supreme Lord,

why did you really come to Lucheng?

Can you tell me the truth?

Haven't I already told you?

It has nothing to do with you.

You don't need to ask anymore.

You plan to k*ll my tribesman and friends.

Does that have nothing to do with me too?

Who told you that?

So it's true?

Didn't you promise me

that you won't lie to me again?

You know I'm the Moon Tribe's leader.

Why do you ask such a question?

I want to destroy Shuiyuntian
and avenge the Moon Tribe.

Don't you already know that?

But…

But after living in Lucheng,

I thought you already liked

the peaceful life.

Besides,

haven't you and Xiao Run
already become friends?

Yes.

He is Xiao Run.

But he's not Changheng.

I can never forget
the thousands of years of hatred

between the Moon and Fairy Tribes.

I will still k*ll him

when I meet him in a w*r in the future.

I won't hesitate.

As for you,

if you'll hate me because of this,

go ahead.

My lord.

What if she goes back on her word
and doesn't poison Dongfang Qingcang?

What should we do?

It doesn't matter.

That poison is just a cover.

What can really hurt Dongfang Qingcang

is the evil qi
from k*lling 3,000 heavenly soldiers.

Master.

I'm Hao.

Come on.

Let me take you

to where you came from.

I don't hate you.

There are people in Fairy Tribe

and there are people in Moon Tribe too.

The families of 100,000 soldiers

are still waiting for them to come home.

You are the Moon Supreme

and their hope.

How can I hate you?

But now…

But now, I don't know what to do either.

Cricket, why are you wearing
women's clothes?

I'm not Cricket.

My name is Danyin.

Did you change your name?

I just ascended back to Shuiyuntian.

Now,

Lord Changheng,

you should go back too.

Lord?

I'm Xiao Run.

Lucheng is my home.

Are you drunk or am I drunk?

Where should I go back to?

-Your name is Changheng.
-Me?

You're Shuiyuntian's God of w*r.

Stop kidding, Cricket.

God of w*r?

I can't even defeat you.

What kind of God of w*r is that?

I'm not Qu Shui.

Xiao Run,

Mr. Dongfang,

everything is fake.

Fake?

It's all fake!

Lady Orchid is fake too.

Orchid will not marry you.

Dongfang Qingcang isn't planning
to marry Xie Wanqing either.

This wedding is all fake too.

I believe

you won't ignore Changheng.

Leave now!

Orchid!

No!

Don't come over!

You will get hurt.

-I want you to die a cruel death!
-Why? Why are you treating me this way?

-Why?
-Why? Why are you treating me this way?

-Why?
-Why? Why are you treating me this way?

-You took him away.
-Why? Why are you treating me this way?

You took him.

No!

Don't come over. You will get hurt!

Go.

Lady Wanqing?

Lady Wanqing.

-This is evil qi.
-What's wrong?

I've seen it in the immortal examination.

What's wrong?

Big Blockhead, don't come over anymore!

You will get hurt.

Be careful!

Lady Wanqing.

You can't die.

Your spirit will dissipate if you die.

You won't die.

As long as you succeed in tribulation,

you'll ascend back
to being Lord Changheng.

Lord Changheng.

Hang in there.

Cricket,

why are you

still calling me Lord?

I…

I am Xiao Run.

Xiao Run.

Xiao Run.

Xiao Run!

Big Blockhead.

Are…

Are you all right?

It's just evil qi. Don't worry.

The poison wine and the bead

came from the same person, right?

Who is it?

Lord Ronghao.

Lady Chidi's one and only disciple.

You're still injured.

Where are you going?

To do what I should do.

Big Blockhead.

Big Blockhead!

My lord!

My lord.

You are injured.

-What happened--
-It doesn't matter.

Are Xiao Run and Xie Wanqing missing?

Go find them!

Lady Chidi's primordial spirit
is the key to unlocking the seal.

It decides whether 100,000 soldiers
will come back or not.

No mistake is allowed.

Yes.

Xiao Run.

I'll avenge you.

Big Blockhead!

Big Blockhead.

Big Blockhead!

Where are you?

Lady Wanqing.

What are you doing?

Lady Wanqing.

Why did you choose her

over me?

You betrayed me for this woman.

Give my husband back.

You took him away.

You took him away.

What?

You took him away!

It's evil qi.

Lady Wanqing.

You're poisoned by evil qi.

Let go of me.

Lady Wanqing, wake up!
