01x01 - Episode 1

[bunniefuu]

[Legends say, in ancient tales,]

[whenever the male and female leads
are about to fall in love,]

[an arrogant and villainous woman]

[always appears to interrupt them.]

[The original host asked the Emperor
to arrange her marriage at 14.]

[Three years later, the Crown Prince
passed away due to illness]

[and Xiao Xu got the chance
to ascend the throne.]

[For his daughter, Prince Ning]

[strongly supported Xiao Xu
to take the throne.]

[After Xiao Xu became the Crown Prince,]

[he immediately planned
to take Lin Yudai as a concubine.]

[The original host was extremely resentful,]

[creating a big scene.]

I've seen enough of these dramas.

Why can't you tolerate me?

Ignore her.

[Failing to threaten him with her life,
she tried poisoning herself]

[but ended up drinking real poison]

[and died.]

I'm an ordinary female college student

who transmigrated into the book
as the villainous Ning Chuxi.

Since fate made me beautiful,

wealthy, and powerful,
why should I seek death?

Even if I transmigrated as a hopeless romantic,

I will still change my fate.

Since it all started from the marriage,
then I'll cancel the engagement.

[Old Residence in Yizhou]
I'll hide in Yizhou

until I survive to the very end.

Maybe I can win easily this way.

Riches and glory, here I come!

= Money is Coming =

Don't say I didn't warn you.

I'm going to win big time.

Pung. Chuxi, you've been winning all day.

Let me win a round.

[The 886th round]
If I lose this round,

I'll go vegetarian for a month. South Wind.

White Board. You've been
saying this for a year.

Four Bams.

Three Dots.

Pung.

[Old Residence in Yizhou]
By the way, Chuxi,

you're almost at marriageable age.

You can't just stay single.

[Third Aunt]
I have a nephew.

Pung.

What? Your nephew is also single?

[Ning Chuxi, Princess Yuexi]
That's not right.

You're the only daughter in this house.

Your marriage is a big deal.

[Second Aunt]
Do you have any men you like?

White Board.

I don't have a man I like,

but there's a woman I like.

Second Aunt, I think
you're quite attractive.

Naughty girl.

I heard

the Third Prince is about
to select a consort.

I've heard about it too.

The Emperor is arranging marriages
for him and the Crown Prince.

All the noble ladies in the capital...

Wait a minute.

Isn't the Crown Prince dead yet?

Shh.

My good girl,

[Madame Ning]
trouble comes from the mouth.

Yes, yes.

Eight Dots.

All of one suit.

I won! Pay up, pay up!

You brat won again.

I'm destined to win.

I'm done playing.

Aunties, come back tomorrow.

Clever girl.

What a quick tongue.

Grandma, look.

You've won so much money. Great!

[Righteous Demeanor]

[In the original story,]

[the Crown Prince is supposed
to die of illness this year.]

[The male lead will become
the Crown Prince next year]

[with Prince Ning's support.]

[Shortly after that,]

[the original host]

[poisoned herself to death.]

How pathetic.

[Though I haven't been engaged
to the male lead,]

[and Prince Ning haven't
supported him like in the story,]

[if I'm outshone by the female lead,]

[things might still follow the storyline.]

[If I don't go back to the capital
and do something,]

[I'll be forced into marriage again...]

[Mei, Maid]
Miss, do you still like him?

No, before Father supports Xiao Xu,

and before Xiao Xu becomes the Crown Prince,

there's still time to change everything.

I must return to the capital.

I'm going back to the capital.

Miss,

if you want to cry, just let it out.

When people are sad,

they don't need a psychologist.

They just need

a fortune teller.

Pack my bags and let's
head back to the capital

by starlight.

We should've waited for His Highness
to send someone to pick us up.

Calm down. Have you forgotten
what I taught you?

We're going to amaze everyone.

Louder.

We're going to amaze everyone.

Right, it's just motion sickness.

I'm fine.

Yeah, I'm fine.

[Dumping the body?]

[Huailiu, Crown Prince's bodyguard]

[They can't be able to see me
in the darkness.]

[Another one.]

Master.

[Xiao Xingheng, Crown Prince]

[Oh no, they're not going
to silence me, are they?]

[This person is very dangerous.]

Let's go.

[Goodness, I ran into a crime scene.]

Want to take a look?

[Judging by his demeanor,]

[he must be from an extraordinary family.]

[I've never seen such a person in Yizhou.]

[He's most likely from
a noble family in the capital.]

[But which young master]

[can k*ll someone so quietly?]

[Luckily, he doesn't seem
to want to silence me.]

[I don't know what will happen
when we reach the capital.]

Forget it, there may be more trouble.

The male and female leads
are still waiting for me, right?

Master, who was that woman just now?

That woman clearly saw us.

If she were from an ordinary family,
eliminating her would be effortless.

Why did you let her go?

Did you see the cloak she was wearing?

Cloak?

It's a white mink cloak, right?

[Bai Luoqiu, Heir to the Duke of State]

The white mink cloak on the woman is pure white,

without a trace of other color.

Although Yizhou is wealthy,
such a high-quality white mink cloak

is still rare to see.

Perhaps only she can wear

this cloak in Yizhou.

If it's her,

it'd be a hassle to hurt her.

Who exactly are you talking about?

The legitimate daughter of Prince Ning,

Princess Yuexi.

The only prince with
a different surname in Li Dynasty,

commanding 300,000 soldiers
guarding the northern frontier?

He treasures his daughter very much.

Is her that woman just now?

Even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance,

we cannot harm her.

She's not only Prince Ning's
legitimate daughter, but also his only heir.

Then keep her.

Let her trouble someone else.

I heard Princess Yuexi
almost married Xiao Xu.

Why she had to call off the marriage
and hide here in Yizhou?

She's not coming back
to get married, is she?

There's going to be trouble.

That makes it more interesting.

Miss, we're arrived
at Prince Ning's Residence.

[Prince Ning's Residence]

[It's been just three years,]

[but I'm not the original host.]

[Hopefully he won't find out]

[I'm not his real daughter.]

Chuxi.

[Previous life]
I'm taking my daughter home!

His Majesty has ordered
to k*ll Prince Ning without mercy.

[Ning Hao, Prince Ning]
Chuxi, you're back.

[Prince Ning, you really are
the best father in the world.]

[From today, you are my father too.]

It's good that you're back.

Father, I'm doing well.

[Oops, I called him wrong.]

Old man, I'm doing well.

Good, good child.

Good to have you back. Let's go home.

Yeah.

[Prince Ning's Residence]

Old man, you looked mighty three years ago.

But now, tsk tsk.

With a huge belly, you're just greasy.

I'm greasy? Where am I greasy?

Shh, twist a bit more.

Remember to do

this exercise every day.

[Lingshan Shrine]

Seeing your looks,

[Master Huiku]
the destined person must have appeared.

Several years ago when you
mentioned the destined person,

I thought I might not

live to see her.

Your Highness is favored by fortune.

Ignoring my idle words wouldn't matter.

But you have a calamity destined for you.

This destined person will have
many entanglements with you

and also help you
avert this deadly calamity.

I never entrust my life to others,

and others are not obliged
to save me from calamity.

I don't believe in fate.

I only believe in myself.

No, it's not an obligation.

But this person has a destiny with you.

Fate is something unpredictable.

I might not even live to meet this person.

The tea here is still so bitter.

Sorry to trouble you, Master.

[Acquaintances are bound by fate.]

I wish for a wealthy

and honorable life.

[Original Intention]

Ning,

long time no see.

[Lin Yudai, original female lead]
Greetings, Sister Ning.

[Previous life]
Soon will be my and Xu's wedding.

Please review these wedding invitations.

Shameless! You didn't
love each other before,

yet you fell for him
just as I was marrying him.

Do you take me for a fool?

How are you not the fool?

Do you want to know

what your husband says to me every night?

He says you're extremely vicious.

He says you cling to him shamelessly.

And also,

the unloved one is

the sl*t.

[I just arrived in the capital
and bumped into the female lead.]

Miss Lin, you're too polite.

I'm the only princess
in Prince Ning's Residence.

I don't have any sisters.

Miss Lin, just call me Princess.

[So pretentious.]

It's my fault. Please forgive me, Princess.

I believe you'll be staying here
for a long time.

His Highness must have found you
an ideal husband.

I wonder who's the lucky young man.

Marriage is arranged by parents.

I'm not like you,

interested in other people's husband.

I wonder if Mr. Lin

has found a suitable husband for you.

It's my fault.

I was just worried about you.

But I shouldn't have
discussed your marriage.

Good that you know.

You...

Miss Lin is just concerned about you.

Instead of appreciating it,
you even blamed her.

Is it a big deal that you're a princess?

Why are you so aggressive?

Did you hear that?

You must apologize to Miss Lin today.

Master, this is...

Go.

How dare a servant be rude to the princess?

This maid from Prince
Ning's Residence is quite brave.

I was being abrupt, but what wrong
did Hongniang do?

As soon as Ning Chuxi returns to the capital,

she causes trouble even in Lingshan Shrine.

If this news gets out,

I think Noble Consort Sun

would not have a good impression of her.

Prince Ning's selection
of his son-in-law won't go smoothly.

Go ahead, take care of it.

Yes.

[Why does this person look so familiar?]

She shouted at a princess
and you don't know what wrong did she do?

Her Grace is already showing mercy

since she hasn't sent her
to the government office.

If you have any objections,

it's better to send her to the government office

and let the chief magistrate examine her.

[If my maid is sent to the government office,]

[no matter the reason,]

[my reputation will be damaged.]

[I can't go crazy with Ning Chuxi.]

It's Hongniang's fault.

She was just trying to protect me.

I hope you will forgive her.

Your maid is ill-behaved

but quite loyal.

I hope you will properly
train your servants when you return.

Otherwise, next time,

it won't be as simple as a slap.

Come on, thank Her Grace.

Thank you, Your Grace.

Miss, they are always

crying and complaining,

acting like you've bullied them.

Today, we finally got to enjoy it a bit.

You're impressive.

It's not that impressive.

I just bullied them back this time.

Let's do the same next time.
