Marry Me, or Not? (2015–2016): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript

Mr. Huang, I guarantee

that only Wufu Travel Agency
can offer you the perfect trip

and cater to all your needs.

You absolutely won't find

a better deal than this elsewhere.

It is a good deal. I admit that.

But regarding
the cost performance ratio...

If you sign the contract now,

all the employees in your company

will enjoy a special package

of 90-minute essential oil spa treatment
as a complimentary gift.



Does that sound like a higher cost
performance ratio to you, Mr. Huang?

It definitely sounds a lot better.

Great job, Ms. Sheng-nan!

We've finally closed the deal.

My name is Tsai Huan-chen, 28 years old.

I'm a sales manager at a travel agency.

Some people call me a natural sales queen.

I can handle any client,

and I can close any deal.

Also, if I set my mind to it,

I can get any project.

Mr. Huang, this is our contract.

I still have one more question though.

Go ahead.



When was the price agreed upon?

It was agreed upon over the past few days.

No big deal,
but let me calculate it for you.

Japanese yen keeps depreciating.

The exchange rate
has changed over the past few days.

That means the price for every employee

would increase by 72 dollars!

Mr. Huang.

What's important on a company trip

is to have fun

and enjoy quality time together!

Why would you be bothered by 72 dollars?

-The problem is, we--
-The problem is...

There are 312 employees
attending this year's company trip.

If there's an increase of 72 dollars
for every employee,

that would be 22,464 dollars in total.

It is not a small amount as you can see.

And you are?

Hello, I'm Tsai Huan-chen
of Longshiang Travel Agency.

I'm sorry for coming here uninvited.

To express my sincerest apologies,

I've prepared a small gift for you.

Tsai Huan-chen,
don't get ahead of yourself!

This is our contract!

How about a free upgrade
and more complimentary services?

Same price, but the package gets upgraded.

The short trip to Osaka
of three days and two nights

will become five days and four nights.

An ultimate deluxe travel package!

Where are we going to stay
during that two extra days?

Of course, it will be...

At a five-star resort hotel!

With a complimentary continental
breakfast buffet!

What activities are we going to do
during that two extra days?

Leave that to me!

We'll also include
the million-dollar night view

of Mount Maya and cable car tickets,

as well as passes to The Wizarding World
of Harry Potter theme park!

What about the time of our flights?

We will definitely

try to book your tickets
where you can maximize your time!

Plus, a private shuttle bus
to and from the airport!

Ma'am, no!

Let go of me!

We will provide free souvenirs, too.

So, you won't waste a single second
of your precious vacation time.

Sounds perfect!

Mine is even better!

If there's a price increase due
to currency exchange, we will shoulder it.

After all, the most important thing
on a trip is to have fun.

Money is not an issue.

Just leave it to me.

Wait a second, Mr. Huang.

What Longshiang Travel offers
may seem very attractive.

But please consider it carefully.

You'll get what you paid for.

With price-slashing tactics like this,

aren't you worried about the quality
of your whole trip?

Plus, travel accidents.

Who's going to be responsible
if something happened?

-Right.
-Me?

You'll get what you paid for.

However, Longshiang
isn't just some small enterprise.

Mr. Huang,

your company is hosting a dinner
and dance party next month.

Would you like to use

Longshiang Agency's hotel as your venue?

A friend discount of 50%!

-50% off?
-50% off?

That's right!

I also heard

that you're collecting
Avengers toy figures.

You know about that, too?

Of course, I do.

I also know that

you don't have the Hulk figure

to complete the whole collection.

What a coincidence,
my friend has two of them.

If you sign my contract now,

I will ask him to send it to you
via express delivery!

Wait no more. I will sign it now.

Mr. Huang!

We will give you more!

Everything Longshiang Travel has offered,

we'll include in our contract, too.

Plane tickets, 50% off!
Hotel accommodation, 50% off!

Everything is 50% off!

You like toy figures?

I'll give them to you!

I'm not arrogant.

But my name, Tsai Huan-chen,
has a reputation in the industry.

Those who fight against me,

especially women,

tend to curse at me behind my back.

You bitch...

That's right!

This is who I am.

I'm a woman who must succeed
in whatever she does.

A successful bitch.

Tsai Huan-chen!

Tsai Huan-chen, don't you dare leave!

Tsai Huan-chen!

In a woman's battle,

there's no regard for seniority.

It's only a matter of winning or losing.

Especially in love.

It's like all the women
in an auction store,

trying to fight for the final prize.

To obtain one's true love,

it doesn't lie in the myth of destiny,

but rather, it depends on
who's more vicious

and calculative as a person.

If acting like a bitch

means succeeding,

then I'd rather be a bitch.

It's better than being a loser.

There's only one thing I believe in.

In this world,

happiness doesn't fall from the sky.

There's no such thing as true love.

You have to fight for your own happiness.

Why would you marry him?

The guy I introduced to you earlier,

isn't he better?

He makes millions
and is also a reputable lawyer.

Listen to me,
this lawyer is a real bachelor!

Hao Meng.

You didn't forget

that you have a dinner
with Ms. Tsui's daughter, right?

-Hello, Huan-huan?
-I'm telling you...

-Are you listening to me?
-Don't even try!

-Mom, can you stop forcing me?
-Mom, can you stop forcing me?

So what if he's a lawyer?

I hate lawyers the most.

Especially lawyers
who don't show up in court.

They only handle divorce matters
as a divorce lawyer.

The lady you wanted to introduce to me,

what does she do for a living?

A sales manager?

In one of the divorce cases
I'm working on right now,

my client is a sales manager.

Women like her fight over everything.

She isn't only after the money,
the house, and the child,

she is even after the dog!

I'd be unlucky
if I marry a woman like that.

Marrying a divorce lawyer is unlucky!

Every cent they make

is from other people's unhappiness
and broken families.

They deserve bad karma.

It's better to stay away from them.

Women like that say

that they are doing everything
for your sake.

But in reality,

men are just tools for them
to get what they want.

Men like that only care about their work.

They don't give a damn
about what women want!

They couldn't care less
if people around them

are happy or sad.

For them, men are not allowed
to earn lesser than what they earn.

They'd look down on you
like you're useless.

Yet you can't spend all your time working.

You have to spend time to eat with them,

go shopping, and watch movies with them.

Do men ever think about

women's efforts
to be pretty and presentable

when they go out to eat, shop,
and watch a movie?

Do they care about the amount of time
we need to invest?

Everyone only has 24 hours in a day.

Why are men expected to do

much more than women?

There's no reason why.

It's only natural for a man
to give in to a woman.

Women don't know
what self-assessment means

nor how to write it.

They think that a woman

who's popular among men

but disliked by other women

is considered the real woman.

Ridiculous.

You're ridiculous.

A confident woman is an attractive woman.

Men will never understand
that the competition between women

is far crueler than the competition
between men.

That's all I'm saying.

I'm here.

Please, go first.

No need to be polite, you go first.

No, ladies first.

It's good that you know.

Huan-huan!

Huan-huan is here!

Long time no see!

Huan-huan.

I love your hairstyle.

Where did you get it done?

What a beautiful bag!

Did you spend a long time
getting ready today?

I've been super busy with work lately.

I don't even have time to pamper myself.

I almost couldn't make it today.

Look.

The pair of heels I'm wearing,

I randomly threw them on this morning.

How hideous.

Isn't this

the latest season's
limited-edition high heels?

So classy, how can you say it's hideous?

I can't even buy these
even if I wanted to.

Hsiao-dai.

If you want to buy these, listen up.

As if I didn't prepare for this!

Thanks to this class reunion,
I starved myself for two weeks.

I got a facial, aqua therapy,
and laser treatment for dark spots.

It hurts!

I even got a bikini wax.

I also spent a month's worth
of salary on this outfit

to make sure everyone
can easily recognize the brand.

I deliberately bought the classic style.

Given my character,
how can I possibly lose?

I know the public relations manager,
I can get a discount.

Thank you!

Don't mention it.

Thank you.

Hold on.

You are?

Senmei!

Wow.

After you came back from Korea,

your eyes have gotten larger
and your nose looks really sharp.

I almost couldn't recognize you.

I'm going back.

I'm going back, too.

I should go.

I should go back, too.

This bag...

Isn't it from last season's collection?

Linda, I remember you once said

that you're a fashion blogger

and that you'd only use bags
from the latest collection.

I get it, you must have been
in the same situation.

You randomly picked this bag at home
because you were too busy.

But this bag

really suits you.

Yes, I've been really busy with work.

So busy that I was feeling dizzy

and picked the wrong bag.

I'm still feeling lightheaded until now.

I think I should go back to my seat now.

Hsiao-dai.

You--

Don't!

You don't have to say anything.

I know.

I've gained ten kilos.

I know!

I also know that
I shouldn't have given birth so early.

I know.

I love coming to class reunions.

Every time I'm in a reunion,

it puts me in a good mood.

-Sheng-nan?
-Sheng-nan?

-Tsai Huan-chen.
-Hao Sheng-nan.

Wow.

Hey, aren't they wearing the same outfit?

The same heels?

Congratulations.

I already received the opposing counsel's
notice for the settlement agreement.

All the conditions have been agreed upon.

Monthly alimony of 360,000 dollars.

The house will be under your name.

The two restaurants
on Xinyi Road will be yours.

The child's custody and the dog
will be yours too.

Plus,

your ex-husband's most beloved

limited-edition sports car

will be yours as well.

All you have to do now is sign this paper.

Then, your marriage
with your husband will be

officially over.

As I thought, you're an excellent lawyer.

You sure live up to your expectations.

Fighting for rights which most benefit you

is part of my duty.

But

is this okay?

I wanted a divorce.

But I was also the first one
who cheated in this marriage.

Besides being a little stingy,

he hasn't done anything bad.

Ms. Yang, let me ask you a question.

For him to have nothing

or for you to have nothing.

Which one would you pick?

If you really want
to feel better about this,

I can tell you that your ex-husband
did make one mistake

and that was to marry you.

Marriage is like red wine.

There is no good or bad.

It's about suitability and compatibility.

Your ex-husband might only be suited

to drink cheap wine
that can be found in supermarkets.

But he picked you.

A classic 1982 red wine.

He doesn't know
how to appreciate your aroma

and left a precious bottle
of wine like you

to just go bad.

Can you still say
that he didn't do anything wrong?

He has to pay the price.

Of course,

the bigger the amount he pays,

the more it's going to reflect
how valuable your freedom is.

Speaking of which, Ms. Yang,

how would you like to pay this time?

If it's by check,

I only accept cash check.

Do you need a tax number?

-It's true, isn't it?
-Yes.

You must be good at cooking beef.

You visit America so often.

This tastes good.

Hao Sheng-nan,

are you in a relationship?

No.

Don't lie to me, look at her.

I remember she used to be a tomboy.

But now,

she's wearing a dress and high heels.

Take a look at her makeup and outfit.

It's the same as mine.

Don't tell me you're stalking me
on Facebook?

Are you trying to copy my style?

Tsai Huan-chen,

you haven't changed at all.

You're still

as annoying as ever.

I was just joking.

We were good classmates, right?

Why would I find you annoying?

Listen up, guys.

My company was discussing
about our employee's trip yesterday.

Someone gave me a business card
and asked me to the agency.

Do you know whose name was on it?

Who?

Wufu Travel Agency's

Hao Sheng-nan,
Assistant Manager of Japan tours!

-Sheng-nan, how could you?
-Really?

Why didn't you tell us
about your promotion?

You didn't even treat us.

Look, Huan-huan,
Sheng-nan is the assistant manager.

It's not really a big deal.

You guys can come to me
if you plan to travel in the future.

-Great!
-Thank you!

Sheng-nan spent five years

to be promoted as an assistant manager,

she should treat us to a meal.

Hsiao-dai, listen.

Sheng-nan is in charge of tour planning.

She takes care of local tours
and tour schedules.

You won't get a big discount
if you ask her for help.

You should rely on someone like me.

I'm in charge of sales.

You will get a better deal
if you ask for my help.

Here's my business card.

Longshiang Travel Agency.

Sales Manager.

A manager, which means
she has a higher rank than Sheng-nan!

-She's really a manager.
-Let me see.

She's really a manager!

Wow.

A manager!

Hsiao-dai, please don't say that.

We're in different companies.

You can't compare
who has a higher or lower rank like that.

Right, being a manager
or assistant manager doesn't matter.

If we plan to travel in the future,
we can look for either of them.

-You're right.
-Yes!

Let's eat!

I'm so glad.

-I have so many friends.
-Excuse me, I need to get napkins.

What's the matter?

Why are you staring at me?

Is there something on my face?

On your hand.

There's something shiny.

This one?

Well, my boyfriend proposed to me.

-Proposed to you?
-Proposed to you?

Why?

Why are you guys so shocked?

My boyfriend and I...

I mean, my fiancé and I

dated with the intention to settle down.

But when he suddenly proposed to me
in a restaurant,

I was a little surprised.

Was it romantic?
Did he get down on one knee?

It was quite romantic.

FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS

-Mister...
-Yes?

I understand that your consultation fee

is 10,000 dollars per hour, right?

Yes.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS

Aside from the payment
for the litigation costs,

I'll add 500,000 dollars

to have another ten hours
of consultation with you.

I'd like to use these ten hours

to seek your advice

on how to appreciate

a bottle of classic 1982 red wine like me.

It's so shiny.

Is it one carat?

It must be more than that!

Right!

Thank you.

This must cost around
400,000 dollars, right?

How much is it?

-Of course, it's a designer ring.
-It's not that expensive.

Oh, please.

I'm sorry, please give me a moment.

I'm so jealous!

What does your fiancé do for a living?

-He's in the IT business.
-Wow.

How long have you known each other?

Actually...

Hi, I'd like to borrow Sheng-nan
for a minute.

Why are you here?

Don't ask.

Excuse us.

He's so good-looking.

Who's that?

How can he look so charming?

Taking her away like that? Wow.

So handsome.

Stop pulling me, what do you want?

-Can't you see that I was with my friends?
-Whatever I say later,

-all you have to do is act along, okay?
-What the hell?

-Don't be angry, baby.
-What?

Ms. Yang is just my client.

Stop being jealous, please?

Excuse me.

May I ask who she is?

She's my fiancée.

Hi, I am his fiancée...

She was eating with her friends

and saw the two of us here.

Since you're an attractive lady,

she thought I was cheating on her.

That's why I'm introducing you two

to each other.

You're already engaged?

Yes.

Hi...

This is the first time

I've seen Hao Sheng-nan
acting so lovey-dovey with someone.

Her boyfriend is so good-looking!

I know, right?

She had been keeping it a secret from us.

Ms. Yang.

If you need a divorce lawyer again
in the future,

remember to call me.

What's with that look?

How dare you do that?

What kind of brother are you
to make me pretend to be your fiancée?

Didn't you see how unsatisfied she looked?

Can't you just help me a little?

She's an important big client,
I need to ask for payment in a nice way.

You don't have to explain anymore.

I'm in the middle of something.

It's my class reunion today.

Plus, the person I hate,
Tsai Huan-chen is here.

What?

This is my boyfriend, Justin.

He is

a lawyer.

A lawyer?

Don't just stand there.

Yes, take a seat.

-Tell us, how did you meet?
-Yes, tell us.

Hao Sheng-nan,

so you really have a boyfriend?

No wonder for this reunion,

she told and reminded everyone

not to bring their partners.

I see that you planned
a special introduction

to tell us about your boyfriend.

How adorable.

Sorry.

I'm sorry about that.

I just told him to leave

since there's nothing to worry about.

It's only a class reunion after all.

But he insisted on checking check on me.

He also wanted to know my friends.

He knows that
showing up unannounced like this

is rather impolite,

so this meal

will be his treat!

-Thank you!
-Thank you!

It's my treat.

Don't hold back. Eat as much as you want.

Cheers!

-Thank you!
-Thank you!

Eat to your heart's content

since I love Sheng-nan so much.

Jeez, don't do that.

It's making me embarrassed.

Look, Huan-huan seems pissed.

As expected.

She's been competing
with Sheng-nan all along.

She didn't think about losing
when it comes to men.

We're close like family.

So sweet!

Can you stop smiling?

It's making me uncomfortable.

I can't help it.

I enjoy seeing Tsai Huan-chen
in a terrible state.

It makes me happy.

I don't understand.

Aren't you two friends?

Why do you hate her so much?

We're not friends!

Back when you were in university,

every day, you talk about
how wonderful Tsai Huan-chen was.

Saying you wanted to go to
this and that place with her.

I was stupid back then.

So stupid that I couldn't see
her true colors.

That was the time when I was

the most stupid person in this world.

-To think that--
-I really don't want to hear

about what happened between you
and Tsai Huan-chen anymore.

You've told me 800 times already.

Are you a broken record?

I don't care, I'll say what I want.

Back then, I was so gullible and naive.

I used to see Tsai Huan-chen
as my best friend.

I really trusted her.

Whatever it is,
I'd tell her and share it with her.

Sheng-nan!

That includes the first time
I had a crush on a guy.

What's wrong?

My heart is beating so fast.

Beating so fast?

Don't tell me you have a crush
on Jiang Chien-yao?

You--

You must promise not to tell anyone!

Of course,
you have nothing to worry about.

There's no one for me to tell anyway.

I can help you.

I didn't expect that after a few days,

she would check on my crush.

She told me that he's not a great guy,

that he's a playboy and a jerk.

She said many awful things about him.

She told me to just forget about him.

Hao Sheng-nan, listen to me.

Jiang Chien-yao is a total playboy.

For three days,

I've seen him flirt with different girls.

I'm warning you.

Do not confess to him, understand?

He's not worth it.

I wouldn't want anything
to do with that lousy guy.

So full of himself.

Are you all right?

But even so,

I still

liked him.

Just when I had enough courage

to make the very first confession
to the guy I like,

all I saw was how Tsai Huan-chen...

I still regret it until this day.

Why was I so stupid?

To befriend such a terrible woman

and think of her as my best friend?

Hao Sheng-nan, I bought breakfast for you.

What's wrong?

Why would I eat the breakfast
you bought for me?

What are you doing?

Are you still going to act innocent?

What did you do with Chien-yao yesterday?

You should know very well!

I was just--

Shut up!

Do you think I would believe you?

Slut.

What did you say?

What did you say?

I can say it a hundred times.

You're a slut!

You go after guys that your friend likes!

You're full of lies!

I was blind to think
that you're my best friend!

You have no idea!

You deserve to have your man stolen!

That's why

friendship between women

are more delicate
than a piece of tissue paper.

That's just how it is.

Don't waste it.

Whenever I listen to this story of yours,

I feel like something is wrong.

What's wrong?

Technically,

you and your crush weren't a couple yet.

So, Tsai Huan-chen did not steal your man.

That's not the point!

What's important is
that she betrayed me for a man.

What's even worst is
she didn't show remorse at all!

She stole my crush from me,

not only she didn't feel sorry,
but she turned hostile to me!

She competes with me over anything

and everything.

In college, she competed with me
over grades,

club's ranking,

and the number of people
who asked for our contact numbers.

Then, when I entered the tourism industry,

she followed me as well.

She keeps stealing my clients
and my company's clients.

What drives me crazy the most is

that she's one step ahead of me

for being promoted as a manager.

Hao Meng, are you listening to me?

Yes, I am.

Don't you think Tsai Huan-chen
has gone too far?

I actually think both of you
are rather lame.

To hold grudges
over trivial matters like that.

You don't get it!

For women,

betraying your friend
isn't just something trivial.

It's a pain you can never forget
for the rest of your life!

Oddball.

Is it really that painful?

Hey.

That's Tsai Huan-chen,
she likes to steal from others.

I hate people like her.

So dishonest and fake.

Tsai Huan-chen is so pretentious.

-I hope she drops out.
-So fake.

Weird.

-Why did she come to school?
-Right.

-No shame.
-I don't know what she's thinking.

Talking about people behind their back,

don't you think you're out of line?

You're a slut!

You go after guys that your friend likes!
You're full of lies!

I was blind to think
that you're my best friend!

It's been ten years.

Why would I still care about
Hao Sheng-nan?

EAT

DUMPLINGS AGAIN, HOW BORING

SUIT YOURSELF

DON'T COOK IF YOU'RE UNWILLING TO

Hey.

Are they going to plan
a divorce again today?

It's too late now.

Maybe tomorrow, at the very least.

Hao Meng, you're home.

Come here, I have something to ask you.

Why did you make Ms. Tsui,
her daughter, and me

wait for you at the restaurant
for two hours?

Speak!

I was working.

I had a meeting with an important client.

Mom.

Dad sent me a text.

He asked me where the soy sauce is.

Tell your dad to look for
the colored glazed counter

in the second cupboard to the left.

Ask him to get it himself.

Dad, Mom said...

He said that bottle is almost empty.

Sheng-nan,

there's a new bottle
on top of the refrigerator.

He's getting old.

Too much salt can cause a stroke.

So, you don't care at all
how much effort I've put in

to arrange this blind date?

I had to set my ego aside
and apologize to them.

Are you saying that

it's not your fault at all?

Mom, Dad said he wouldn't mind
having a stroke now.

The food in the hospital is better anyway!

Tell him to do whatever he wants!

Nobody will take care of him
when he gets a stroke!

He's already old!
He can't even take care of himself!

When are you going to stop fighting?

Both of you,

it's your grandma's birthday tomorrow.

Please make time for it
if you're not too busy.

Let's celebrate her birthday with her.

Okay.

Hao Meng, Dad said
that tomorrow is Grandma's birthday.

If we have time,
we should celebrate her birthday with her.

He said he has work to do,
he won't be able to make it.

GOT WORK, CAN'T GO

Master Yue-e, you have to help me.

I honestly feel
that ever since my boyfriend

went to Australia for working holidays,

he has completely changed as a person!

I suspect he has a new girlfriend there!

Not only will your boyfriend
have a change of heart this year,

he's going to have a change
in sexual preference.

What? A change in sexual preference?

That's right.

Based on my understanding
and judging from his birth chart,

the person your boyfriend
is cheating on you with

isn't a woman,

but a man.

You can also tell
that from Purple Star Astrology?

Of course!

Did you think that I,
Master Yue-e of Shuangxi Tang,

the ultimate teller of the universe
and life, is just bogus?

In his spouse's palace, there's
Greed Wolf Star and Gloomy Star.

That means he is lustful.

And he's not picky about it.

What's worst is, his Wedding Star

has gone into his sibling palace.

That's to say
he has fallen for his sibling.

Or he would probably tell himself
to get together with his buddy.

You can even see that?

Master Yue-e.

Actually,

I've been suspicious that he likes guys.

Master Yue-e, my boyfriend and I,

are we really done for?

SHUANGXI TANG

Even though everyone says

that fate cannot be changed.

But we can definitely
find a way to dispel it.

If we can't dispel it,
we'll work around it.

If we can't work around it,
we'll delay it.

How can we do that?

No sweat, I have it all prepared for you.

What's this?

Mineral water!

That's right!

In most people's eyes,

this is no doubt
a bottle of mineral water.

But after I request that Buddha

to bless it with the true love
you have for your boyfriend,

it won't simply be a bottle
of mineral water anymore.

It's going to become
Love Shall Return Water.

"Love Shall Return Water"?

That's right!

Take this bottle of water.

Send it to Australia
and have him drink it.

No matter how deeply in love
he is with that guy,

as long as he drinks
this Love Shall Return Water,

he'll turn into a good boy
and come back to Taiwan for you.

Thank you, Master Yue-e!

Master, here's a token of appreciation.

Please accept it.

No.

Please accept it,
you've been a great help.

-Master, take it, please.
-No, I can't...

-Come on, Master, please keep it.
-I really can't...

Well, if you insist.

This is all Buddha's blessings.

Thank you, Buddha.

-Sorry, give me a moment.
-Yes.

Tsai Huan-chen!

Where have you been?

It's already late!

-I attended a class reunion.
-Hey.

I have something to talk to you about.

-It's important.
-If you want to talk about marriage,

then forget it.

I've made myself clear.

I...

Hey!

I'm not done yet, how dare you leave!

Why are you like this?
All you do is watch TV.

Didn't we agree
to talk to Huan-huan together

and persuade her not to marry that guy?

Are you dead?

It's already late now.

Huan-huan seems to be in a bad mood, too.

Plus, your client is still here.

Let's talk another day.

Tsai Hung-li,
where do you think you're going?

I'm not finished!

What did I do to deserve
a family like this?

One doesn't listen to me no matter what.

The other one doesn't move his ass at all.

I'm so pissed! Both of you are...

-Remember to always be sincere.
-Sure.

Thank you, Master.

-You're welcome.
-Thank you.

-Remember to administer the water.
-Okay.

-Be a sincere person to succeed in life.
-Okay. Thank you, Master.

Take care.

Tsai Hung-li!

Dad.

What?

Here's the check for you.

THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS

There's no hurry.

And even if you don't pay me back,

I'm okay with it.

We already agreed on this.

I know.

Given your capabilities,

you should have taken on more ambitious

and challenging cases

as opposed to what you're doing now.

You're only accepting divorce cases
where any lawyers

would be able to take on.

Dad, I think you're mistaken.

I don't hate my job now.

Compared to others,

working on divorce cases
is actually a really good investment.

I'm not a rookie either.

Sometimes,

ambitions and ideals

aren't as important as being realistic.

I shouldn't keep you up. Rest early.

Even though my job

can't bring happiness to people,

at least I can take away

the unhappiness for them.

Good night.

LET'S MAKE UP

Hao Meng, congratulate me.

Your uncle is getting married!

Do you have time to drink with me later?

I'll give you the invitation.

Tsai Huan-chen, we have to be realistic.

No...

Oh, my goodness.

Your room is such a mess!

It's like a pigsty.

Get up!

Clean your room.

Can you stop nagging?

I've been busy
with wedding preparations lately.

I also have to clean his room,
I'm already exhausted.

What makes you think I have the time
to clean my own room?

Your room is a mess,
but you clean his room?

What logic is that?

I'll move into his place anyway.
It's natural for me to clean it.

When did I agree
to you moving in with him?

Look at his birth chart!

If you get married to him,

it's going to be bad!

If you can't read birth charts,
you'll be out of business!

I'm a master and your mother.

You have to listen
when a master is talking to you.

Do you know how terrible life is
for a man who is this unlucky?

Look.

Power Star, Ruinous Star
and the Greed Wolf Star.

He has them all!

The Moon and Power Star

are in the same palace,
what does that imply?

It implies that any woman
who's related to him in any way

will have a tragic ending.

Think about his mom!

Didn't his mom die because of him?

If you marry him, you'd end up
having a tragic death too.

Hey, I'm not trying to scare you.

You're clearly scaring me!

It's strange, when I first dated Shu-hung,

you said he's decent
and that you liked him.

But when I told you about the wedding,
you're suddenly against our relationship?

Back then, I haven't checked
his birth chart yet!

All right.

Huan-huan, listen to me.

Dating and marriage
are completely different.

You shouldn't marry him.

I don't get it.

Why are you so against this marriage?

I don't get it either.

Why don't you listen to me?

Because I have no reason
to cancel our wedding.

Firstly,

he loves me, and he's good to me.

Secondly,

he's tall and charming.
His body is fit too.

We don't have to worry
about what our baby will look like.

Thirdly,

he owns a house and a car.
He comes from a wealthy family.

I don't have to worry
about my life after marriage.

Lastly, but most importantly,

both of his parents have passed away.

Wait a second.

How is the death
of his parents a good thing?

It definitely is.

This means when I move in with him,

I don't have to worry about in-laws
nor do I have to live with them.

What is there not to like about?

He has terrible luck in life!

Listen, look at his mom.

Mom!

I've already booked the hotel
and paid for the wedding cookies.

The invitations have also been sent out.

Are you asking me to announce
that we're not getting married anymore?

All because of the fact
that you think my fiancé

has terrible luck in life?

I'm going to end up a laughing stock!

My wedding invitation.

How many did you print?

Let me see, I think...

More than 300 copies.

More than 300 copies?

Yes, I'm quite popular you know.

Not environment-friendly at all.

You could have done it digitally.

Send it over the Internet.

I came to deliver
your invitation personally.

Do you really have to say that?

I'll ask Sheng-nan to give you
my red packets for your wedding then.

It's not about the red packets.

It's about sharing my joy with you.

Can't you be like everyone else
and congratulate me?

I can never understand people
who are getting married.

What's there to share joy about?

To someone
who has a trauma about marriage,

of course, you wouldn't get it.

Anyway,

I came here to give you this personally

because I wanted to thank you in person.

If it wasn't for you,
I wouldn't be getting married.

Why are you making a long face?

If you haven't thought this carefully,

I will help you think it through.

Being embarrassed is just for a moment.

But having a bad life
is long-term torture!

Plus,

didn't you want to break up
with him two months ago?

When did I?

I just considered it for a moment

because I felt like he has changed a bit

compared to the first time I met him.

See, I told you!

You don't have to believe what I told you.

You don't have to believe me.

-You can disregard what Buddha--
-I'm not finished yet!

I was about to break up with him.

Who would have guessed

that he'd suddenly propose to me?

Are you saying that your proposal
succeeded because of me?

Yes.

If it weren't for you,

I wouldn't have thought of
such a fantastic proposal speech

-and succeeded in my marriage proposal.
-What?

Have you forgotten?

Two months ago,

we were drinking together here

and I asked you
why you're not in a relationship.

Why don't you want to get married?

Could it be that you had some
sort of problems?

I was thinking

that maybe you dislike women,
but like men instead.

So you can't remember anything?

How would I remember
what I said when I was drunk?

It's okay if you've forgotten,
I remember it clearly.

You told me then

that you don't hate women
and that you're not against marriage.

You just haven't found
the woman you must marry yet.

He told me
that I am the woman he must marry.

The woman he must marry?

The woman you must marry.

You don't remember a thing?

That day, you said that in your heart,

there's an adorable woman.

She might not know how to cook, but she...

She might not know how to cook,

but she'd be willing to

spend time in the kitchen,

go through food recipes,

while clumsily chopping the ingredients.

I didn't understand

why men like to stay up late
to watch sports shows.

Or maybe she wants me
to enjoy her company,

so she would try to memorize
the complicated rules of a baseball game.

One by one.

She would even memorize
all the names of the players.

We would occasionally
fight with each other.

But after each fight...

She knows I don't apologize easily,
so when I'm in a difficult position

and couldn't apologize to her...

I'll hug him from behind

and tell him

"I'm sorry.

Let's not fight anymore, okay?"

Even if the whole world

thinks he's a failure...

She'd still be by my side,

giving me support and encouragement.

What other people think of him
isn't important at all.

Because in her eyes,

I am the most amazing guy in this world.

No matter how long we've been together

and how long we've been in love...

Even after years have passed
since our marriage,

I can never forget

the first time I saw her

and how my heart fluttered...

He really told you that?

He makes me feel

that it's okay even if I'm not perfect.

It doesn't matter.

As long as I am who I am,

he'd love me forever.

In that instance,

I felt like I could overlook
his little character flaws.

But he will lead a difficult life.

Master Wang Yue-e.

Why did you marry your husband?

He wasn't that amazing either.

But you still love him
and you're willing to put up with him.

I didn't have a choice. It just happened.

It's also happening to me now.

What Shu-hung told me made me believe

that I am the woman he must marry.

But the point is,

a wife material like that
has never appeared in my life.

Listen to me,

the kind of woman you mentioned,

they are really--

When I told you about this back then,

I was basically trying to tell you
that it's impossible

for a woman like that to exist.

It wasn't my intention to help you

propose to a woman, okay?

Blame your luck.

I have found the woman
you thought didn't exist.

Since she and I crossed paths,
how can I not propose to her?

You said it yourself.

You're not thinking of
marriage or dating anyone.

I'll just take the speech
as a gift from you.

It helped my marriage proposal
to be successful.

How wonderful is that?

Right.

You should not blame me

when you end up filing for divorce.

Divorce?

And to make it clear,

when the time comes,

I'm not going to give you a discount

just because we're related.

The drinks are on you.

Hey, are you going to attend
my wedding ceremony?

Grandma, look.

Such a beautiful piece of jade.

Wow.

Hello.

Where's Mom?

-Over there.
-Hey.

You're finally here.

Mom.

Grandma, happy birthday to you.

This is for you.

Thank you for the wonderful present!

Was it expensive?

Not at all.

When you get married this year,

I will buy you something nice too.

Grandma, when did I say
I'm going to get married?

-Aren't you getting married with Shu-hung?
-What?

You've got the wrong person,
she's not my girlfriend.

She's Sheng-nan.

Sorry, your grandma is getting old.

My eyesight is failing me,
and I've mistaken you for someone else.

I thought you were Shu-hung's fiancée.

Am I really that old?

No.

The cake is ready!

Let's sing the birthday song...

-Tsai Huan-chen?
-Hao Sheng-nan?

You guys know each other?

I knew it. It's not just me.

They're wearing the same dress,

no wonder I got confused.

You're going to be my aunt?

So, you're the generous and kind niece

Shu-hung told me about?

What a coincidence!

Right, what a coincidence!

If we keep showing up in the same outfit,

I'd probably bang my head
against the wall.

Sheng-nan.

What do you want?

My best friend,

I never expected it'd be you.

It must have been fate
that brought us back together.

Don't hug me.

Grandma, watch out!

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Hao Sheng-nan!

Happy birthday!

Grandma,

this is a golden brick
dark chocolate cake.

It's difficult to order online,

and it has the right amount of sweetness.

It smells good!

Grandma, do you have a birthday wish?

Of course, I wish
that Shu-hung and Huan-chen

would start a family soon
and make cute babies for me to look after.

Shu-hung's deceased mother
would be very pleased, too.

Shu-hung is lucky

to be able to marry such a wonderful lady.

Thank you.

Huan-huan is great, Huan-huan is amazing,

Huan-huan is kind.

Sluts are all melodramatic.

Sheng-nan, what did you say?

-I--
-Here.

Where were we?

We really have to congratulate Shu-hung

for marrying such a wonderful lady.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Hi.

Is that so?

I'll call you back later.

Huan-huan, the bridal boutique called.

When are you free
to try out your wedding dress?

Will the maid of honor be joining as well?

The maid of honor?

Right!

I haven't thought about it yet.

I can't just ask anyone.

It's an important role.

Wouldn't it be more meaningful

if my best friend,
who's going to be my family soon,

becomes my maid of honor?

Sheng-nan,

will you be my maid of honor?

-Be your maid of honor? Really?
-Yes.

What a terrific idea!

Sheng-nan, it will be good for you
to be the maid of honor.

That's right, Sheng-nan.

Even Grandma said so,

can't you just agree to it?

Tsai Huan-chen, you're one hell of a--

Sheng-nan!

I've been holding back since earlier.

Where are your manners?

She's going to become your aunt.

How could you call her by her name?

Even if you used to be classmates,

you have to show some respect

and address her as your aunt.

Don't you understand?

I do!

Sorry about that,
it's just her personality...

No problem at all.

We're going to be family soon.

Seniority doesn't matter much.

Right.

Let's eat the cake!

Try it.

-Baby, have a slice.
-Okay.

My little niece,

how long are you going to mop that floor?

Bring your aunt some tea!

Right away, Aunt!

I'll pour you tea right away.

Hurry up.

Suits! Two myriads.

Here's your tea, Aunt.

It's so hot! What the hell?

Are you trying to kill me?

Hurry up and clean up the floor!

Sorry, Aunt.

I will clean it up right away.

How clumsy.

Why do I have a niece as stupid as you?

It's so embarrassing.

Look at that.

How can she be my niece?

Tsai Huan-chen,

you dirty pretentious slut.

Who gives you the right to get married?

Stop showing off in front of me!

Go to hell!

Look, Sheng-nan.

This is the venue for our wedding banquet.

Not bad, right?

But since you're still unmarried,

I'll add your name to the list of people

who are after my bridal bouquet.

Am I really going to just watch
that damn woman

get her happiness before I do?

No!

MANAGER, SUN FU-GUO

Tsai Huan-chen,

don't even think about
getting hitched before I do.

You want to become my aunt?

Excuse me, is this Manager Sun?

I am.

This is Tsai Huan-chen, that's right.

I'm Huan-huan, the one who confirmed
the venue with you today.

Sorry, but

the thing is...

Heaven, earth,

sun, and moon.

Dear Yue Lao,

with Mother Goddess Tao Huang
as a witness,

please split them up quickly

on my command!

Dear, I thought you wanted Huan-chen
to have more blessings?

Why are you performing a ritual
to cut off her luck in love instead?

You don't get it. They can't be together.

They can't be together? Why is that?

This man brings bad luck
to everyone around him.

If Huan-chen gets married to him,
we might be affected too!

Are you serious?

He's an unlucky guy.

I've gone through his birth chart
a hundred times.

He really has one horrible life.

His luck will only come
when he's 107 years old.

I don't care who my daughter
is going to marry.

Just not this guy!

But you told me before

that I'm a late bloomer too.

Isn't it the same?

It's entirely different, okay?

His luck will only come
when he's 107 years old.

Your luck will come
when you're 87 years old.

There's a difference of 20 years, okay?

I see. He's unluckier, I guess.

Tsai Tao-hua, don't blame me.

Blame yourself.

I asked you
to find my daughter a good man.

In the end, you found a man
with such terrible luck.

What the hell?

Calm down.

Why are you holding the cactus?

This is the thing.

I'm not trying to cut off
Huan-huan's luck in love.

It'd be difficult to bring her luck
in love back again in the future.

I'm trying to create problems

between them.

When they finally break up,

I'd perform another ritual

to ask for luck in love
for Huan-huan again.

Sounds impressive!

Of course.

-I'm counting on you.
-I'm counting on you.

-Attack!
-Attack!

-Cactus to the Peach Blossoms!
-Cactus to the Peach Blossoms!

All the way!

You're not experienced in rituals,
don't go chanting recklessly.

What if you end up summoning
bad luck instead?

Tsai Huan-chen, time for breakfast!

I'm not eating, I'm heading out early

to collect my plane tickets
for my honeymoon.

Hey!

Dear, it didn't seem to work.

You don't understand.

What's the rush?

Why are you, an observer,
more anxious than me?

Since I've already made a move,

I can cut off any fatal attraction
and bridge any happy match in love.

For real?

MASTER PEACH BLOSSOM
DOUBLE PROSPERITY HALL

Weird, there's rarely
any traffic jams here.

Your wife is cheating on you

with her lawyer, Mr. Ding.

Can we date with the intention
of getting married?

What do you think?

Mr. Hao, is it really over?

Let go!

Let go of me!

NEXT EPISODE

Are you guys a couple?

Are you kidding?

-It has to be her?
-It's got to be her.

Wait!
