Zhaorong is like a peach blossom.

It'll be ruthless to choose...

from either of them.

I love Zhaorong.

But I also love Huiniang.

I...

we've done it.

Done what?

You know what it is!

Nan?... he's alright.

He's a nice guy.

Your response to my having waited...

...for three painful years...

...is a mere "what a dilemma!"

Peilang!

You've broken my heart into pieces.

Alright, Ill help to fulfill

the two of you.

Huiniang, this body of mine...

...take it!

Bao!

What are you doing here?

Congratulations!

For what?

I wasn't the lead of the play.

I sincerely believe that one day...

...you'll be the lead.

Huixiang...

Easy. No one saw me.

How is mom?

I've asked Mrs. li to take care of her.

Go home.

I'll do that after your final performance.

Bao got stage fright at

the last performance!

She's not feeling well. I'll go see her.

Are you alright?

When did you come?

It's been a while.

Are you thinking of replacing Bao?

Can I?

It takes years of hard work...

... to be able to perform.

Good acting can't be achieved...

... by merely watching.

Bao suggested me to replace her.

Why would a lady come here

at this late hour?

Why would the scholar...

...return to this place?

Greetings, my lady.

Greetings, scholar.

Where did I meet you before?

May I know your...

you only care about Huiniang.

Scholar, doesn't this red gown...

...make you think of someone?

Oh, I remember.

The lady on the bridge also

wore such red gown.

Would you...

...know the whereabouts of that lady?

She's...

."dead.

Dead?

Her coffin...

...is inside this mansion.

How did she die?

She's disillusioned and

there was an accident.

She visited the lake but

met her death instead.

What actually happened?

The prime minister learned about...

... Huiniang's affair with you...

...and beat her to death.

Poor Huiniang, she was calling your name...

...before she died.

Huiniang!

This is the token she'd left you.

The token reminds me of her.

Love is ruthless.

My tears dropping on this handkerchief...

when will I reunion with my beloved?

Bao.

You were great.

Just listen to the applause!

Keep up the good work.

Thank you.

I'll change first.

I'm fine, Hai.

I'll go first.

How can you manage to perform in this state?

Let me replace you.

No.

You don't know any of the craft.

Can you afford to see yourself...

... replaced by others?

Why didn't you have more rest?

Where's Huixiang?

Shellie.

Why didn't you tell me...

...about the swap?

Was she good?

How could she? She's totally green.

She suggested to replace me herself.

It's just one last show anyway.

You should sleep more.

I have to go to the party later.

I'll go, too.
