Asura Bride (Love in Blood / 修罗新娘)

[He has defended the northern borders for over a decade.]

[As the turmoil no longer plagues this land,]

[thus as his reward, the Princess of Shangyang]

Congratulations.

-Congratulations. -Welcome, make yourselves at home.

-Congratulations. -Welcome, make yourselves at home.

The General has arrived!

-Congratulations, General! -Congratulations!

Greetings, Father-in-law.

At ease.

It's been a long day for you.

My daughter is waiting in the bridal chamber.

I hope you would be gentle to her.

I shall take my leave now.

Old man Wang Xiu is impatient.

He didn't even bother to hold the ceremony.

I misspoke.

I misspoke.

Tonight is the time of your life.

General is entering the bridal chamber!

Wearing armour into the bridal chamber

invites bad luck.

Wearing dark colour

invites bad luck.

Anything else?

-General... -My ladies.

Why don't you join me for a drink?

Come on.

Let's go.

This way.

Who are you?

Who are you?

Where is Wang Xuan?

I...

I'm not willing to marry you!

Wang Xuan?

Wang Xuan?

Experience the sufferings and journey through hell.

And finally, embrace the light.

[This potion will grant you apparent death for three days.]

After you take the poison,

your life is in the hand

of the one you love.

Xuan.

I am here to save you.

Why won't you come with me?

The potion I got from the herbalist...

Why is this happening?

My ladies,

if you know anything we don't,

please tell General.

I have no idea.

Report!

General.

We lower the security as you ordered.

Madam has left the manor secretly.

She is heading to the palace.

General.

We spent years fortifying the borders.

We don't know the dangers inside the palace.

It's better not to be caught up in this.

I've seen too much bloodshed over the years,

I've been through worse.

Not to mention

she is my wife.

Any news from the general's manor?

Your Highness, no.

What about Xuan?

What about Xuan?

Nothing either.

Brother Zi Heng!

Xuan?

I've been searching for you.

What happened?

What exactly has happened?

Why did you come here wearing this?

Brother Zi Heng.

Something is wrong with the potion.

After I took the potion,

[The urge could only be stopped by drinking blood.]

A monster?

But my mother said

you'll only feign death for three days.

I don't know what happened.

We were led to that herbalist by the Imperial Consort.

We should go to Her Highness now.

We need a solution to this immediately.

What's wrong?

No.

People are watching my mother's every move.

You are now General Xiao's wife.

Should anyone sees you,

there could be more trouble.

I am not the general's wife!

We had no certificates or wedding ceremony.

We had none of those yesterday.

This marriage doesn't count.

Brother Zi Heng.

I only ever wanted to be your wife.

You know that.

Xuan.

This marriage was granted to him by an imperial decree.

We cannot go against the emperor.

I should be blamed for this.

My mother has no influence,

and I have no love from my father.

I want to be with you,

yet there is nothing I can do for you.

I am a disgrace for a man.

Brother Zi Heng.

I fear nothing,

but I can't put my mother

and the Xie Family at risk.

I have an idea.

Return to the general's manor for now.

I will figure something out.

Trust me.

Xuan.

What is happening to you?

Wang Xuan.

What?

Does the groom look good to you?

You followed me?

So the rumours are true after all.

Cunning and treacherous, a heartless murderer.

Those are what you are, General Xiao.

If I were a heartless killer,

you would be dead by now.

You wouldn't be insulting me.

This is who I am.

I suffer from a monstrous illness.

I am not qualified to be your wife.

For your reputation,

you should request to His Majesty

to dissolute this marriage of ours.

I appreciate your kind advice, Princess.

But now that I married you,

I must accept it as a fact.

Indeed.

You put great effort to secure this marriage.

You wanted my family for their influence.

So you will still take me in

even if I were a monster.

Xiao Ji.

You are despicable!

Stay still.

Listen,

the last person who disrespected me

is now buried under the ground.

Remember.

I went through much effort to secure this marriage,

but I did so for you.

Help! Murder!

Brother Zi Heng!

Help! Murder!

Help!

Help! Murder!

Brother Zi Heng!

Help!

Someone is killed!

-Come with me. -Help!

Help!

Someone is killed!

[Imperial Consort Xie, mother of Third Prince] Your Highness, save me!

[Imperial Consort Xie, mother of Third Prince]

What is going on? [Imperial Consort Xie, mother of Third Prince]

[Imperial Consort Xie, mother of Third Prince]

Princess... [Imperial Consort Xie, mother of Third Prince]

Princess...

The Princess just turned into a monster and killed her!

I was terrified.

Your Highness, save me!

Liar!

You won't admit it?

You look pale and there is blood on your lip.

Don't deny it!

Your Highness,

I came here with my wife.

Someone else must be behind this murder.

We were about to leave but are stopped here.

This timing

seems too good to be true.

I do not understand what you mean.

I only know that

you serve as a general of the army

yet trespassed into the palace.

This is disrespectful.

And now, the princess is a suspect for this murder.

We need answers.

-Seize her. -Yes.
