Buried City to Shut All Lights

Episode 1

Alone in the tranquil bamboo woods,

Alone in the tranquil bamboo woods,

I play the Guqin or whistle.

I play the Guqin or whistle.

Not a soul but me,

Not a soul but me,

the moon is my companion.

the moon is my companion.

Grand Mentor of Zhongyuan State

Fu Qimo

What is it?

It’s like a wolf howling.

I didn’t hear anything.

Look at the moon.

Young An Ziyi

The moon is red!

The hound is going to devour it.

Young Chu Che

It’s said there’s a kind of wolves in mountains

which take on human appearance

but transform into ferocious wolves

at Mid-Autumn night.

They yearn for flesh and blood.

Chu Che, don’t scare me.

It is Mid-Autumn night.

I want to go home.

What are you doing there?

Keep up.

Stay behind my back.

I’m here. Don’t be afraid.

Whatever!

I’m afraid.

The second young master of the Chu family

Chu Che

Zhongyuan State

Chu Mansion

Father.

Young mistress of the Ji family

Ji Qiyue

It’s Mid-Autumn Day.

What are you taking me here for?

Chief Justice of Zhongyuan State

Ji Xingyuan

I have my reason

to send you to Chu Mansion.

What else can it be

except to find a master for me?

Are you going to introduce me to an immortal?

You’re right.

In my eyes,

your master is omnipotent, like an immortal.

A Chu from the capital.

Come. Let's get in.

Father.

Is the master, surnamed Chu,

the most gifted man

my cousin once mentioned?

You mean Chu Qing?

Are you surprised by my wisdom?

Father.

Father.

Chu Qing is your master’s brother.

What? How lame it is!

Watch your tongue!

Your master is low profile.

But he’s gifted both in literature and martial art.

He’s a friend of mine.

It’s just he’s been traveling about,

hence not as well-known as his brother is

in the capital.

Gifted in martial art?

I’ll give him a blow

with my butterfly fans.

Qiyue, take it away.

I’m finding you a master, not a rival.

Yours are small tricks to them.

The Chus are so awesome!

If that’s so,

my master won’t be too bad.

Your master has no disciple.

You’re the first one.

Mr. Ji, rest assured.

Your daughter has never humiliated you

in front of the elders, has she?

I can be anyone,

an elegant lady,

or a sweet girl

of knowledge and etiquette.

Remember.

When your master thinks you learn enough,

he’ll notify me to get you home.

It’s boring

to stay at home,

talking about embroidery with women.

So, I’d like to be a heroine,

traveling the world.

Please.

Qiyue,

this young man is your master.

He’s so handsome

and he will take me to travel around.

Here come my merry days.

What are you waiting here?

Greet your master.

I’m Ji Qiyue. Nice to meet you, master.

Remember, your mother and I will be watching.

Father, don’t worry.

I’m your only daughter.

All right.

Come with me.

OK.

Father.

Keep up.

Go with your master.

I’ll be watching you.

They’ll leave you one day.

No need to linger.

What’s wrong with him?

Close the door.

Master.

Master.

Don't we live in the Chu mansion?

Listen.

We live here.

This door is amazing!

Master.

Misty Rain Pavilion

Misty Rain Pavilion.

What a stylish name!

Now that you’re with me,

don’t mention to anyone about the past.

Change your name.

Then what will you call me?

I’m thinking about Yiluo.

Petals falling down in misty rain at dusk.

Yiluo,

what a gloomy name!

Master, can I have another name?

There’s a lady’s residence in the south

called Wanyun.

Go find Chu Qian.

Ask her to give you some clean clothes.

Chu Qian? Who is Chu Qian?

We don’t even have a place to bath?

Here is a letter.

Give it to Chu Qian.

She’ll know what to do.

While you’re with me,

don’t mention to anyone about your past,

your identity and family.

I won’t

repeat what I said to you again.

How do I contact my parents?

Your father said

you’re not allowed

to contact them in the first 3 months.

Can I ask you something?

Didn’t my father pay my tuition?

Tuition?

Why are you so rude like I owe you?

You are so unreasonable.

Don’t think that the others would be glad

to please you because you’re handsome.

Listen.

I’m done with you.

How can you tear my fan apart?

It’s been passed down from my ancestors.

Take it as a warning.

Do not engage with an enemy you can’t defeat.

If it were someone else,

you’d lose your life.

Who said I can’t defeat you?

What are you doing?

The renowned calligraphist of Liang State,

Wang Yizhi, wrote two characters on the fans

to provide for a poor old lady.

One of them is harmony,

and the other modesty.

You know it?

However, the owner of the fans

is someone who has no respect for her master.

What an irony!

You...look...

How can you tear the other apart, too?

What’s done is done.

It’s not a genuine anyway.

What?

The fans with Wang Yizhi’s writing are bamboo fans.

Yours are made of paper.

Not of the same material.

And you take them as if they’re treasure.

Ridiculous!

It’s OK to be less educated.

But if you parade for it,

that’s a huge joke.

Wait for it.

I won’t give in.

Just wait and see how I defeat
