That crazy bitch.
IT'S A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH FOR ME
Save the trouble.
What I love the most
is how you were sweating last night.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Are you hungry?
Yes.
I'll make you breakfast.
-Okay.
-Okay.
I'm glad that your mom didn't marry him.
Or he'd get a portion of the inheritance.
Behave yourself.
Did Granny die and go to hell?
Stop the nonsense, kid.
It's what Mom said.
When she had a fight with Dad, she said
that Granny should die and go to hell.
Thank you for coming
to say goodbye to my mom.
She knew that I would be emotional,
so…
she wanted to speak to you personally.
Hi, everyone.
Do you like the photo that I chose?
If you like it,
give me a round of applause.
I want to speak to you personally.
First,
I have one-eighth foreign blood.
My nose…
I was born with a Roman nose.
Class leader,
stop spreading those rumors.
My precious boy,
I hope that you've done what I asked
because I really don't want
chrysanthemums or roses.
It's not the funeral
of Wu Ya-ju or Wang Mei-mei.
I want moth orchids.
Lu Yi,
I miss having dinner with you
and chatting while taking a walk.
I miss the dog's paw smell of your fingers
after you smoke a cigarette.
I miss your bad but smart acting.
You'll think of me
and bring with you
something that you love the most
that belongs to me.
Underwear?
Lu Yi…
I love you.
I love you so much.
I've talked to my son
that I'll leave you what's remain
in my savings account.
I don't think anyone will say no.
No!
How could you ignore your granddaughter?
Shut up, Mei-mei.
As for my lovely granddaughter,
I've made the arrangements.
Sit down.
I don't want to get married again
because the men in my life
either beat me up, stole my money,
or cheated on me.
If you leave him hanging,
he can't bear to leave you.
As for you,
whether you have a husband or not,
don't miss me too much.
Find a place where you haven't explored.
Enjoy your life
and wish me to rest in peace.
It's your turn.
I've been sleepless
for them every night.
No wonder the boss never used
Facebook or Instagram.
I can't believe that he was such a loner.
Really?
We don't know him, but we're here today.
Was he a loner?
Your turn.
-I know.
-Draw a card.
Someone who plays with their phones
to wait for likes is more like a loner.
-Shit!
-What?
An elephant.
-Elephant.
-Just drink it.
-I'm not done here.
-Elephant.
-Elephant.
-You'd better hope that it won't collapse.
- Drink it. You can drink it now.
-Drink it.
-Drink.
-Drink it.
-There's no reason not to drink, is there?
-Come on. Drink up.
Here I am!
Hey, sisters.
I'm here at Sicily Queen's
memorial meeting.
She's the famous YouTuber.
Hi.
Fucking bitch.
Don't sit on the toilet for too long
or you'll get hemorrhoids.
Two sheets of toilet paper for number two
while one sheet for number one.
It's breakfast time.
You need to be on a diet.
It's for our future.
Let's eat.
-Okay.
-You asked for it.
A relationship means 50% adventure
and 50% tolerance.
Don't move.
Stay like that.
Wait for me.
Wait for me!
Look straight ahead. Don't look at me.
-Okay.
-Misty eyes.
Look up. Look down.
Look to your left.
Imagine it.
Last night, we…
Can you?
Can you do that?
-Can you?
-Yes.
Can you? Raise your arm.
-One more.
-Okay.
Look at your armpit.
Yes. Look at your own armpit.
Your armpit.
As if you're smelling it.
Yes! Passion!
You're a beast! A beast!
You're a beast!
Call out!
Yes!
I like it.
That's great, baby.
You're great.
I'm glad you didn't ask me
to put a banana in my mouth.
Do you want that? It's a good idea.
No. I'm just kidding.
By the way…
Let's do it in the kitchen.
It's an order.
You can't say no.
No way.
You'll like it.
You haven't got a new girlfriend?
It's not your style.
I'm about to.
Honey.
She knows that you're on my mind.
And I know
that you're still waiting for me.
Here. This is your favorite.
Who's your honey?
You think I'm still waiting for you?
A girl is different from a man.
I'm sure that you won't cheat on me.
Fuck.
No. It's illegal.
I know you're trying to aggravate me.
I've made up my mind.
All I want is you.
I swear that
if I cheat on you again,
I'll…
get raped every day.
That's not funny.
What?
They beheaded someone with a guillotine.
From now on,
this…
is your guillotine to behead me.
She's just beating the air, isn’t she?
But you're my air.
I can't live without you.
Fine.
I've been in debt to sustain you.
Give me back the money.
Give it!
I can…
I can pay you back with my life.
My little dumpling.
I mean it. Don't worry.
I'm enterprising now.
I've got connections and experience.
I'm planning to build my own brand.
Selling chastity belts?
That's not important.
I haven't decided yet.
Where's your money from?
I've borrowed some from her
and some more from another girlfriend.
It's almost enough.
You'll be the number one wife of a CEO.
You know, risk diversification.
Come with me.
Risk diversification?
I need some risk control now.
What are you doing?
Come on.
I'm going to the restroom.
Stop!
I'm fighting a duel with you.
Let's see who wins.
What duel? We've both lost.
Don't you get it?
He doesn't know what love is.
All he loves is himself.
Even if you defeat me,
he'll keep looking for more girls
and borrowing money from them.
What money?
Did he borrow from you?
I've lent him a lot.
I think
I'm feeling sorry for you.
I don't hate you, you know?
If Cha doesn't quit his bad habits,
he'll keep looking for more girls,
more than you can fight a duel with.
Here.
It's yours.
From now on,
this is your guillotine to behead him.
Why me?
Because I hope
that you'll be the last one
in the relay race.
Thank you.
Ru-rong?
Eat it.
Eat it all.
Okay.
Eat it all?
Ru-rong?
Come here.
It's for you.
Do you like it?
Yes.
It will look good on you.
Yes.
I'll never wear it when I go out.
Over my dead body.
It's from my English cyber friend.
A fashion designer
even designs for his dog.
It's a pity that for me,
he's going to send the dog away.
Is he going to find out
that I've been watching it
again and again?
No.
But can you not be so obsessive?
Gather roses while you may.
But why do you keep the roses?
For your funeral?
Auntie Jin kept encouraging me.
How dare you mention her?
What were you thinking?
I can't believe
that you made a fuss at her funeral.
You didn't even attend it
and you dare to criticize me?
Do you have to make fun of me?
Mom is being funny again.
Christmas gifts.
Open them.
Ruo-min, don't forget
that you're going to the airport with me.
And don't forget the garlands.
I'll prepare steaks for him.
But we need to taste it first
-and…
-Mom, are you sure that he'll come?
He said that he was in Malaysia.
Then you lost contact with him.
Don't question true love.
I'll rehearse it thoroughly.
It's a matter of life and death.
You have to help me.
Of life and death?
I'm in a life-and-death crisis too.
The deadline for my novel is imminent.
Will you help me?
Well…
I'm in a life-and-death crisis too.
What's wrong?
If I don't pay off my debt,
I'll be dead.
I thought you were back with Cha again.
You don't have to sustain him now.
How much? She'll pay.
Hey.
How much is that?
Is it 7,000?
Is it 70,000?
How much?
Seven figures. Ones, tens,
hundreds, thousands,
ten thousands,
hundred thousands, millions.
It's seven figures, Ru-rong!
My God!
How are you going to find that much money?
Find what money?
I won't help her.
She has lost everything.
You have to help her.
She drinks whenever she's in trouble.
Why should I help a drunkard?
But I didn't drink today.
Of course not.
Because you need us to help you.
I drink because I have things on my mind.
You just don't get it.
She's right.
Do you have things on your mind?
Don't we all have things on our minds?
As far as this is concerned,
Cha has to account for it.
You have to account for it.
Mom and I have to account for it as well.
How could we let you end up like this?
It's fine if you won't help me,
but don't reprimand me.
You're not Dad.
You can't even act like him.
Take it easy.
I'm going to work.
Min.
Look at her.
If a man needs her,
she would go immediately.
What will she become when I get married?
Hello? I can hear you.
I'm glad that you're not in love.
Not with a two-timer like that.
Ru-rong?
Wait a moment. I was taking a shower.
Give me three minutes.
In three minutes, you'll… In three…
Ru-rong.
Ru-rong!
Where is it?
See?
I told you to wait.
You've spoiled the surprise.
So it was my voice?
I can't believe it was me.
I'm so pretentious when I speak to you.
"I'll love you for 10,000 light-years."
But…
a light-year is to measure the distance.
It means that you're far away from me.
THE HEART OF LUO XIANG-YU
Don't correct me.
Being wrong is right somehow.
THE HEART OF LUO XIANG-YU
But my dad asked us
not to use the wrong adjective.
It smells good.
My gosh.
Braised meat.
I'll do it.
How does it taste?
Not good?
I can't say if it's good or not.
But I want to know what it is.
Where are you from?
Don't ask stupid questions.
I'm from nowhere.
I'm yours.
Mom?
Here.
No.
I'm cooking for my future husband.
If I use your dad's recipes,
it doesn't feel right.
Dad wouldn't stop anyone
from going on an adventure.
You're right. He even gave me money
to make an investment.
Doesn't a garland look shabby?
No.
What matters is you.
My mom is the best.
-Really?
-Yes.
-Really?
-Yes.
Have some more then.
It doesn't look good, but it tastes great.
Here's a potato.
Mrs. Xu?
What?
What is it?
I know you're a vegetarian.
With your husband gone,
you're not in the mood to cook.
-That's right.
-I know.
Here's something for you.
-What's that?
-Take a look.
There are sweet potatoes,
broccoli,
and blueberries.
I'm so used to speaking in English
that I don't remember
what they are in Chinese.
Those are called superfoods.
Just eat them all.
-Here.
-Thank you.
Don't subdue your feelings.
You're welcome to talk to me.
Okay.
-But you need to do it soon.
-Okay.
Because I'm getting married.
What? You're getting married?
Robert, my wedding. You come.
Okay.
YOUR ACCOUNT, AMOUNT,
TRANSFER, BANK AND ACCOUNT NUMBER
PLEASE DO IT AGAIN
Tell her to hurry up.
I have to go to work.
-She's taking too long.
-That's right.
Please retrieve your card.
-Hurry up.
-What's happening?
I'm wiring money overseas.
Granny,
you can't do that here.
You need to go to a bank.
What do you know?
It's an emergency.
Get away from me.
Are you trying to rob me?
Rob you? I'm kindly reminding you.
-And you see me as a robber?
-Mom…
I'm sorry.
Miss,
the granny refuses to go
and claims
that she's wiring money overseas.
-Please do something. Do us a favor.
-I'm sorry.
-You're calling me granny?
-All right. Let's go.
-You're the granny.
-Let's go.
-Listen…
-Excuse us.
-You're the grandpa!
-Come on.
-How could he call me a granny?
-I'm sorry.
-What's his problem?
-That's enough. Keep the card.
-We have to help him. Do something!
-Sit down.
No, Mom.
Calm down.
If he were really in trouble,
why did he ask you for help
instead of the embassy?
Because he trusts me!
Lower your voice.
His daughter is in trouble,
but he wants to visit you
instead of going back to England.
-Isn't that weird?
-That's because he wants to see me.
What's your problem, Mom?
You told us that
those who are scammed are all idiots.
Don't you remember?
But he told me…
He said that he would think
about our future
and take care of me.
And…
he said that I was gorgeous.
Then he's lying to you.
Come on. I'm begging you.
Don't embarrass yourself. Let's go home.
Come on.
Come on. Don't embarrass yourself. Hurry.
If I don't wire him the money,
how would you know that he's lying?
Chen Ru-rong, don't ruin my life!
I'm ruining…
I'm not stupid.
I just don't want to admit it.
In fact, I think he has been weird.
But we've just met.
I don't know him well.
Isn't it normal that it feels weird?
He wrote me so many love letters.
His ex-wife, his cat, and his dog…
Are those all lies?
I love chatting with him.
We've chatted for so long.
Doesn't he love me at all?
We're fine.
Thank you for asking.
CHILDHOOD MEMORIES! EATING DELICIOUS
FOOD WHILE TAKING A WALK!
He likes to stay low-key.
Hey, Super8!
Don't go off-topic.
ARE YOU STILL AWAKE?
I'm going to kick you out, Super8.
I CAN'T SLEEP
ARE YOU DRINKING?
NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS
Maybe…
we should go somewhere to chat.
How about your place?
Okay.
Come here if you dare.
My mom and my sister
have been waiting for you.
You have a new girlfriend, don't you?
You know me.
Seamless transition as always.
My mom is to blame.
She drives me crazy
whenever she breaks up with someone.
So whenever you were a little upset,
I wondered
if I should find someone else.
Do you know?
I'm always scared of losing everything.
Really?
So that's your excuse?
Honey, are you mad at me?
You can shout at me.
You can smell my armpits.
I can rub your feet.
I'll do whatever you want.
There's no need.
I'm fine.
I'm doing great.
I should've told you earlier.
I'm sorry.
I mean it.
Thank you.
I mean it too.
Thank you
for having fixed so many things for me.
Thank you
for curing my naivety in love
and paranoia.
If you need my help,
you're welcome to call me.
LET'S BREAK UP
I'll help you.
Okay.
I'll return the oven and get a refund.
Can you go with me later?
Yes, sure.
Well…
Maybe I'll go with you to the airport.
Maybe that old man is fooling around.
Maybe he's already here.
I know that I've been scammed.
I'm thick-skinned at this age.
I'll forget about it
after crying and laughing about it.
You're optimistic now.
I don't know if I should be glad.
Think about it.
Your profile on that website
must be the most eye-catching.
That's how the scam artist
saw you at a glance.
Bullshit. You're trying to say
I over-retouched my photo, right?
That's not what I meant.
I thought that you were optimistic,
but now, you look like a teenage girl
whose heart has been broken.
I know that you'll be sarcastic
about it forever.
Maybe I'll be a nun.
No.
I won't be qualified for it.
I'll fall in love with a monk.
Which one of you bought something?
Is it you again?
Rose Wang!
It would be great if it snowed in Taipei
and if we had a fireplace.
Now, do you believe
that I'm charming enough?
Robert is a nice guy.
Yes, you're so charming.
Maybe there are many slaughterhouses
where Robert lives
and the land is vast
for him to bury a corpse.
You're just jealous
because you don't get a gift.
Come and help me.
How do you assemble it?
-Where does it go?
-From here. Right here.
-Here?
-Yes.
Like this?
I'm taking a photo for Robert.
I don't want to be in it.
I look ugly. Don't include me.
It's almost over.
You're not bad.
You're lying again.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
-What?
-You…
-You're so cunning!
-What do you want?
What?
Isn't this the beautiful Mei-mei?
See?
Here's your handsome guy, Yong.
Mei-mei?
I'm the best-looking man in the world.
-I knew that I had to dress myself up.
-"Best-looking man"?
My instinct told me that I would meet you.
Yes, you're both handsome.
Handsome to death.
Mei-mei.
What are you doing here?
I heard that you're getting married.
I knew that it was a rumor.
I know you're still waiting for me.
No.
I've always been low-key.
I won't have a wedding in Taiwan.
I don't want to trouble anyone.
Never mind.
I'll be here waiting.
I won't go anywhere at all.
I'm a loyal guy.
If you need anything, just tell me.
I'll never let you down.
Hey, Mrs. Xu!
Who's that?
There you are.
-Who's this?
-I'm so nervous.
You won't go anywhere.
You'll never let me down.
That's what you've said.
Mrs. Xu is here for the first time.
Treat her nicely.
Don't ignore her.
I'll be watching you.
-Listen.
-Do you hear me?
-Those two…
-Yes. Entertain her.
-Don't neglect her.
-One has long fingers
while the other has a big nose.
Just talk casually with them.
Sit down and eat.
Eat.
I have to get this.
Come back soon.
Mei-mei…
What are you doing?
Sit down.
No. I don't need it.
YESTERDAY
TODAY
It has been a day.
Aren't you meeting your deadline?
-Why are you home?
-Well…
Let's have a chat.
See?
Do our reflections look like
Elsa and Anna in Frozen?
Elsa is not as cruel as you.
If I were cruel,
I wouldn't be here talking to you.
Is that so?
It's a lot of money.
I can barely sustain myself.
Yes, I know.
But you told me
that whatever happens,
you would be with me.
Yes. I'll be with you.
So I've made up my mind.
I'll accompany you to talk to the bank.
When you're free,
I'll go with you.
What's the use of talking to the bank?
I've asked some friends.
They are asking you to pay,
but we can make a deal with them
to let you pay it back slowly.
Thank you for your kindness.
I can't put on the brakes for you forever
or you're going to get carsick.
After all,
you have to drive the car yourself.
No. I won't drive a car.
I only have a scooter driver's license.
You're right. It's useless.
Forget it.
Even if it takes a long time to pay back,
it's your responsibility anyway.
As your sister, it's the least I can do.
Have you thought about it?
When Mom gets married,
it will be just you and me.
Fine.
But it's weird. Doesn't Mom miss Dad?
I think she does,
but she's chasing her own happiness.
Her happiness is so far away.
You're right.
I can write Mom's story into a novel.
You just keep writing novels.
But please,
don't write me in them again.
Fine. I won't.
But can you do a questionnaire?
Ms. Chen Ruo-min,
an irresponsible man
-and a control freak,
-Good morning!
which one is scarier?
Why are there only two kinds of men?
Don't we have the third kind in the world?
-It's your fault.
-It's your fault.
The third kind won't appear
out of thin air.
We, women, have to be stronger
and keep evolving
to force out the third kind of man.
The third kind of man…
The power is off?
Didn't we pay the bill?
Don't waste electricity.
If you understand men,
why don't you get some?
Do you know that Australian guy is 70
and still an electrician?
I wonder if he can deal
with an electrical leakage woman like Mom.
I don't think so.
Mom is a nuclear power plant.
If an accident happens,
it will be a disaster.
How scary!
What?
What do you see?
Go on.
You go ahead.
Fine. That Robert…
He hasn't responded.
ROBERT CALLING
Rose!
You! Answer so late!
You're bad!
Don't play with my heart.
I'm afraid that you might go.
Do you want me to visit you?
Go where?
What?
You've just been scammed.
Don't you remember?
There is no scam syndicate
in the Southern Hemisphere.
And for love,
you have to strike while the iron is hot.
You're right.
Can you not be so impulsive, Mom?
Here's the deal. When I'm free,
let's go on a trip with Ruo-min, okay?
Okay!
You can keep video chatting with Robert.
Just video chat. Okay?
What's the rush?
But…
I'll buy your plane tickets.
Okay!
But…
And the daily allowances abroad as well.
Okay!
All right.
I'll get going.
Wait.
You love Jin's car, don't you?
You must be happy
to enjoy it alone.
When I drove the car for the first time,
I asked Jin, "Where do you want to go?"
She told me
to drive as far away as possible.
So the two of us
drove the car all the way
to the north coast.
But I want that one.
This one tastes great.
Here.
Right here.
Wait for me, Jin.
It feels great.
Looking at the sea
and the cloud in the sky,
I can get rid of all my troubles.
Yes.
Lu Yi.
-I know that I've been…
-It's all right.
I don't mind.
I can't help it.
She was my best friend.
Believe me,
Mei-mei.
In her mind,
she thought so too.
Take care.
Where do you plan to go?
Yes.
Where do I plan to go?
It tastes great.
Where did you buy it?
In our neighborhood.
No. That's impossible.
You've never walked around it.
But with you around, I don't have to.
Where do you want to go today, Jin?
Jin said,
"Don't cry, Mei-mei."
And…
don't forget to watch the DVD.
Each life, each relationship,
each happiness and sadness,
each commodity
-has its own manufacturing date
-Hey, you hit me.
-and expiration date.
-Saw my…
-The deadline of a novel…
-It's very difficult…
How can I say something
-so disgusting?
-the moment
that you see through love…
Okay.
Yes.
Beautiful.
…is always mixed with confusion,
fear,
anticipation,
and surprises
because it's a beginning and an end,
waiting for you to say goodbye to
and encounter.
Hello?
ADAPTED FROM CHEN MING-MIN'S NOVEL
How frightening.
There's another missing girl.
It's the seventh missing girl in Taipei
related to online dating.
When the 24-year-old female postgraduate
got off from work
at 6 p.m. from a beverage shop
near Taipei Main Station on the 10th,
she told her co-workers
that she was going to meet a man
whom she had met…
Why didn't you make any noises?
Nobody is allowed
to watch the news in this house.
They are either selling vainglory
or selling fear on the news.
I tried on
the white dress.
I don't think it fits me.
If we can't solve the problem,
I don't think
I'll need to meet your family.
But I think
you'll get along very well with my family.
Fine.
About you moving here,
we really should talk to them.
Yes.
By the way,
I'm going shopping
at the convenience store.
The cat and the dog
are locked up in the room.
They are throwing a tantrum.
Just ignore them.
Let's celebrate tonight.
I'll play some music.
Ru-rong.
I love you.
But…
"I love you" has two meanings.
One of them is
"I need you"
while the other is
"I'll do anything for you."
Which one are you?

QUEEN SICILY, LEVEL 215 WARLOCK, 1385662
That crazy bitch.
IT'S A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH FOR ME
Save the trouble.
What I love the most
is how you were sweating last night.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Are you hungry?
Yes.
I'll make you breakfast.
-Okay.
-Okay.
I'm glad that your mom didn't marry him.
Or he'd get a portion of the inheritance.
Behave yourself.
Did Granny die and go to hell?
Stop the nonsense, kid.
It's what Mom said.
When she had a fight with Dad, she said
that Granny should die and go to hell.
Thank you for coming
to say goodbye to my mom.
She knew that I would be emotional,
so…
she wanted to speak to you personally.
Hi, everyone.
Do you like the photo that I chose?
If you like it,
give me a round of applause.
I want to speak to you personally.
First,
I have one-eighth foreign blood.
My nose…
I was born with a Roman nose.
Class leader,
stop spreading those rumors.
My precious boy,
I hope that you've done what I asked
because I really don't want
chrysanthemums or roses.
It's not the funeral
of Wu Ya-ju or Wang Mei-mei.
I want moth orchids.
Lu Yi,
I miss having dinner with you
and chatting while taking a walk.
I miss the dog's paw smell of your fingers
after you smoke a cigarette.
I miss your bad but smart acting.
You'll think of me
and bring with you
something that you love the most
that belongs to me.
Underwear?
Lu Yi…
I love you.
I love you so much.
I've talked to my son
that I'll leave you what's remain
in my savings account.
I don't think anyone will say no.
No!
How could you ignore your granddaughter?
Shut up, Mei-mei.
As for my lovely granddaughter,
I've made the arrangements.
Sit down.
I don't want to get married again
because the men in my life
either beat me up, stole my money,
or cheated on me.
If you leave him hanging,
he can't bear to leave you.
As for you,
whether you have a husband or not,
don't miss me too much.
Find a place where you haven't explored.
Enjoy your life
and wish me to rest in peace.
It's your turn.
I've been sleepless
for them every night.
No wonder the boss never used
Facebook or Instagram.
I can't believe that he was such a loner.
Really?
We don't know him, but we're here today.
Was he a loner?
Your turn.
-I know.
-Draw a card.
Someone who plays with their phones
to wait for likes is more like a loner.
-Shit!
-What?
An elephant.
-Elephant.
-Just drink it.
-I'm not done here.
-Elephant.
-Elephant.
-You'd better hope that it won't collapse.
- Drink it. You can drink it now.
-Drink it.
-Drink.
-Drink it.
-There's no reason not to drink, is there?
-Come on. Drink up.
Here I am!
Hey, sisters.
I'm here at Sicily Queen's
memorial meeting.
She's the famous YouTuber.
Hi.
Fucking bitch.
Don't sit on the toilet for too long
or you'll get hemorrhoids.
Two sheets of toilet paper for number two
while one sheet for number one.
It's breakfast time.
You need to be on a diet.
It's for our future.
Let's eat.
-Okay.
-You asked for it.
A relationship means 50% adventure
and 50% tolerance.
Don't move.
Stay like that.
Wait for me.
Wait for me!
Look straight ahead. Don't look at me.
-Okay.
-Misty eyes.
Look up. Look down.
Look to your left.
Imagine it.
Last night, we…
Can you?
Can you do that?
-Can you?
-Yes.
Can you? Raise your arm.
-One more.
-Okay.
Look at your armpit.
Yes. Look at your own armpit.
Your armpit.
As if you're smelling it.
Yes! Passion!
You're a beast! A beast!
You're a beast!
Call out!
Yes!
I like it.
That's great, baby.
You're great.
I'm glad you didn't ask me
to put a banana in my mouth.
Do you want that? It's a good idea.
No. I'm just kidding.
By the way…
Let's do it in the kitchen.
It's an order.
You can't say no.
No way.
You'll like it.
You haven't got a new girlfriend?
It's not your style.
I'm about to.
Honey.
She knows that you're on my mind.
And I know
that you're still waiting for me.
Here. This is your favorite.
Who's your honey?
You think I'm still waiting for you?
A girl is different from a man.
I'm sure that you won't cheat on me.
Fuck.
No. It's illegal.
I know you're trying to aggravate me.
I've made up my mind.
All I want is you.
I swear that
if I cheat on you again,
I'll…
get raped every day.
That's not funny.
What?
They beheaded someone with a guillotine.
From now on,
this…
is your guillotine to behead me.
She's just beating the air, isn’t she?
But you're my air.
I can't live without you.
Fine.
I've been in debt to sustain you.
Give me back the money.
Give it!
I can…
I can pay you back with my life.
My little dumpling.
I mean it. Don't worry.
I'm enterprising now.
I've got connections and experience.
I'm planning to build my own brand.
Selling chastity belts?
That's not important.
I haven't decided yet.
Where's your money from?
I've borrowed some from her
and some more from another girlfriend.
It's almost enough.
You'll be the number one wife of a CEO.
You know, risk diversification.
Come with me.
Risk diversification?
I need some risk control now.
What are you doing?
Come on.
I'm going to the restroom.
Stop!
I'm fighting a duel with you.
Let's see who wins.
What duel? We've both lost.
Don't you get it?
He doesn't know what love is.
All he loves is himself.
Even if you defeat me,
he'll keep looking for more girls
and borrowing money from them.
What money?
Did he borrow from you?
I've lent him a lot.
I think
I'm feeling sorry for you.
I don't hate you, you know?
If Cha doesn't quit his bad habits,
he'll keep looking for more girls,
more than you can fight a duel with.
Here.
It's yours.
From now on,
this is your guillotine to behead him.
Why me?
Because I hope
that you'll be the last one
in the relay race.
Thank you.
Ru-rong?
Eat it.
Eat it all.
Okay.
Eat it all?
Ru-rong?
Come here.
It's for you.
Do you like it?
Yes.
It will look good on you.
Yes.
I'll never wear it when I go out.
Over my dead body.
It's from my English cyber friend.
A fashion designer
even designs for his dog.
It's a pity that for me,
he's going to send the dog away.
Is he going to find out
that I've been watching it
again and again?
No.
But can you not be so obsessive?
Gather roses while you may.
But why do you keep the roses?
For your funeral?
Auntie Jin kept encouraging me.
How dare you mention her?
What were you thinking?
I can't believe
that you made a fuss at her funeral.
You didn't even attend it
and you dare to criticize me?
Do you have to make fun of me?
Mom is being funny again.
Christmas gifts.
Open them.
Ruo-min, don't forget
that you're going to the airport with me.
And don't forget the garlands.
I'll prepare steaks for him.
But we need to taste it first
-and…
-Mom, are you sure that he'll come?
He said that he was in Malaysia.
Then you lost contact with him.
Don't question true love.
I'll rehearse it thoroughly.
It's a matter of life and death.
You have to help me.
Of life and death?
I'm in a life-and-death crisis too.
The deadline for my novel is imminent.
Will you help me?
Well…
I'm in a life-and-death crisis too.
What's wrong?
If I don't pay off my debt,
I'll be dead.
I thought you were back with Cha again.
You don't have to sustain him now.
How much? She'll pay.
Hey.
How much is that?
Is it 7,000?
Is it 70,000?
How much?
Seven figures. Ones, tens,
hundreds, thousands,
ten thousands,
hundred thousands, millions.
It's seven figures, Ru-rong!
My God!
How are you going to find that much money?
Find what money?
I won't help her.
She has lost everything.
You have to help her.
She drinks whenever she's in trouble.
Why should I help a drunkard?
But I didn't drink today.
Of course not.
Because you need us to help you.
I drink because I have things on my mind.
You just don't get it.
She's right.
Do you have things on your mind?
Don't we all have things on our minds?
As far as this is concerned,
Cha has to account for it.
You have to account for it.
Mom and I have to account for it as well.
How could we let you end up like this?
It's fine if you won't help me,
but don't reprimand me.
You're not Dad.
You can't even act like him.
Take it easy.
I'm going to work.
Min.
Look at her.
If a man needs her,
she would go immediately.
What will she become when I get married?
Hello? I can hear you.
I'm glad that you're not in love.
Not with a two-timer like that.
Ru-rong?
Wait a moment. I was taking a shower.
Give me three minutes.
In three minutes, you'll… In three…
Ru-rong.
Ru-rong!
Where is it?
See?
I told you to wait.
You've spoiled the surprise.
So it was my voice?
I can't believe it was me.
I'm so pretentious when I speak to you.
"I'll love you for 10,000 light-years."
But…
a light-year is to measure the distance.
It means that you're far away from me.
THE HEART OF LUO XIANG-YU
Don't correct me.
Being wrong is right somehow.
THE HEART OF LUO XIANG-YU
But my dad asked us
not to use the wrong adjective.
It smells good.
My gosh.
Braised meat.
I'll do it.
How does it taste?
Not good?
I can't say if it's good or not.
But I want to know what it is.
Where are you from?
Don't ask stupid questions.
I'm from nowhere.
I'm yours.
Mom?
Here.
No.
I'm cooking for my future husband.
If I use your dad's recipes,
it doesn't feel right.
Dad wouldn't stop anyone
from going on an adventure.
You're right. He even gave me money
to make an investment.
Doesn't a garland look shabby?
No.
What matters is you.
My mom is the best.
-Really?
-Yes.
-Really?
-Yes.
Have some more then.
It doesn't look good, but it tastes great.
Here's a potato.
Mrs. Xu?
What?
What is it?
I know you're a vegetarian.
With your husband gone,
you're not in the mood to cook.
-That's right.
-I know.
Here's something for you.
-What's that?
-Take a look.
There are sweet potatoes,
broccoli,
and blueberries.
I'm so used to speaking in English
that I don't remember
what they are in Chinese.
Those are called superfoods.
Just eat them all.
-Here.
-Thank you.
Don't subdue your feelings.
You're welcome to talk to me.
Okay.
-But you need to do it soon.
-Okay.
Because I'm getting married.
What? You're getting married?
Robert, my wedding. You come.
Okay.
YOUR ACCOUNT, AMOUNT,
TRANSFER, BANK AND ACCOUNT NUMBER
PLEASE DO IT AGAIN
Tell her to hurry up.
I have to go to work.
-She's taking too long.
-That's right.
Please retrieve your card.
-Hurry up.
-What's happening?
I'm wiring money overseas.
Granny,
you can't do that here.
You need to go to a bank.
What do you know?
It's an emergency.
Get away from me.
Are you trying to rob me?
Rob you? I'm kindly reminding you.
-And you see me as a robber?
-Mom…
I'm sorry.
Miss,
the granny refuses to go
and claims
that she's wiring money overseas.
-Please do something. Do us a favor.
-I'm sorry.
-You're calling me granny?
-All right. Let's go.
-You're the granny.
-Let's go.
-Listen…
-Excuse us.
-You're the grandpa!
-Come on.
-How could he call me a granny?
-I'm sorry.
-What's his problem?
-That's enough. Keep the card.
-We have to help him. Do something!
-Sit down.
No, Mom.
Calm down.
If he were really in trouble,
why did he ask you for help
instead of the embassy?
Because he trusts me!
Lower your voice.
His daughter is in trouble,
but he wants to visit you
instead of going back to England.
-Isn't that weird?
-That's because he wants to see me.
What's your problem, Mom?
You told us that
those who are scammed are all idiots.
Don't you remember?
But he told me…
He said that he would think
about our future
and take care of me.
And…
he said that I was gorgeous.
Then he's lying to you.
Come on. I'm begging you.
Don't embarrass yourself. Let's go home.
Come on.
Come on. Don't embarrass yourself. Hurry.
If I don't wire him the money,
how would you know that he's lying?
Chen Ru-rong, don't ruin my life!
I'm ruining…
I'm not stupid.
I just don't want to admit it.
In fact, I think he has been weird.
But we've just met.
I don't know him well.
Isn't it normal that it feels weird?
He wrote me so many love letters.
His ex-wife, his cat, and his dog…
Are those all lies?
I love chatting with him.
We've chatted for so long.
Doesn't he love me at all?
We're fine.
Thank you for asking.
CHILDHOOD MEMORIES! EATING DELICIOUS
FOOD WHILE TAKING A WALK!
He likes to stay low-key.
Hey, Super8!
Don't go off-topic.
ARE YOU STILL AWAKE?
I'm going to kick you out, Super8.
I CAN'T SLEEP
ARE YOU DRINKING?
NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS
Maybe…
we should go somewhere to chat.
How about your place?
Okay.
Come here if you dare.
My mom and my sister
have been waiting for you.
You have a new girlfriend, don't you?
You know me.
Seamless transition as always.
My mom is to blame.
She drives me crazy
whenever she breaks up with someone.
So whenever you were a little upset,
I wondered
if I should find someone else.
Do you know?
I'm always scared of losing everything.
Really?
So that's your excuse?
Honey, are you mad at me?
You can shout at me.
You can smell my armpits.
I can rub your feet.
I'll do whatever you want.
There's no need.
I'm fine.
I'm doing great.
I should've told you earlier.
I'm sorry.
I mean it.
Thank you.
I mean it too.
Thank you
for having fixed so many things for me.
Thank you
for curing my naivety in love
and paranoia.
If you need my help,
you're welcome to call me.
LET'S BREAK UP
I'll help you.
Okay.
I'll return the oven and get a refund.
Can you go with me later?
Yes, sure.
Well…
Maybe I'll go with you to the airport.
Maybe that old man is fooling around.
Maybe he's already here.
I know that I've been scammed.
I'm thick-skinned at this age.
I'll forget about it
after crying and laughing about it.
You're optimistic now.
I don't know if I should be glad.
Think about it.
Your profile on that website
must be the most eye-catching.
That's how the scam artist
saw you at a glance.
Bullshit. You're trying to say
I over-retouched my photo, right?
That's not what I meant.
I thought that you were optimistic,
but now, you look like a teenage girl
whose heart has been broken.
I know that you'll be sarcastic
about it forever.
Maybe I'll be a nun.
No.
I won't be qualified for it.
I'll fall in love with a monk.
Which one of you bought something?
Is it you again?
Rose Wang!
It would be great if it snowed in Taipei
and if we had a fireplace.
Now, do you believe
that I'm charming enough?
Robert is a nice guy.
Yes, you're so charming.
Maybe there are many slaughterhouses
where Robert lives
and the land is vast
for him to bury a corpse.
You're just jealous
because you don't get a gift.
Come and help me.
How do you assemble it?
-Where does it go?
-From here. Right here.
-Here?
-Yes.
Like this?
I'm taking a photo for Robert.
I don't want to be in it.
I look ugly. Don't include me.
It's almost over.
You're not bad.
You're lying again.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
-What?
-You…
-You're so cunning!
-What do you want?
What?
Isn't this the beautiful Mei-mei?
See?
Here's your handsome guy, Yong.
Mei-mei?
I'm the best-looking man in the world.
-I knew that I had to dress myself up.
-"Best-looking man"?
My instinct told me that I would meet you.
Yes, you're both handsome.
Handsome to death.
Mei-mei.
What are you doing here?
I heard that you're getting married.
I knew that it was a rumor.
I know you're still waiting for me.
No.
I've always been low-key.
I won't have a wedding in Taiwan.
I don't want to trouble anyone.
Never mind.
I'll be here waiting.
I won't go anywhere at all.
I'm a loyal guy.
If you need anything, just tell me.
I'll never let you down.
Hey, Mrs. Xu!
Who's that?
There you are.
-Who's this?
-I'm so nervous.
You won't go anywhere.
You'll never let me down.
That's what you've said.
Mrs. Xu is here for the first time.
Treat her nicely.
Don't ignore her.
I'll be watching you.
-Listen.
-Do you hear me?
-Those two…
-Yes. Entertain her.
-Don't neglect her.
-One has long fingers
while the other has a big nose.
Just talk casually with them.
Sit down and eat.
Eat.
I have to get this.
Come back soon.
Mei-mei…
What are you doing?
Sit down.
No. I don't need it.
YESTERDAY
TODAY
It has been a day.
Aren't you meeting your deadline?
-Why are you home?
-Well…
Let's have a chat.
See?
Do our reflections look like
Elsa and Anna in Frozen?
Elsa is not as cruel as you.
If I were cruel,
I wouldn't be here talking to you.
Is that so?
It's a lot of money.
I can barely sustain myself.
Yes, I know.
But you told me
that whatever happens,
you would be with me.
Yes. I'll be with you.
So I've made up my mind.
I'll accompany you to talk to the bank.
When you're free,
I'll go with you.
What's the use of talking to the bank?
I've asked some friends.
They are asking you to pay,
but we can make a deal with them
to let you pay it back slowly.
Thank you for your kindness.
I can't put on the brakes for you forever
or you're going to get carsick.
After all,
you have to drive the car yourself.
No. I won't drive a car.
I only have a scooter driver's license.
You're right. It's useless.
Forget it.
Even if it takes a long time to pay back,
it's your responsibility anyway.
As your sister, it's the least I can do.
Have you thought about it?
When Mom gets married,
it will be just you and me.
Fine.
But it's weird. Doesn't Mom miss Dad?
I think she does,
but she's chasing her own happiness.
Her happiness is so far away.
You're right.
I can write Mom's story into a novel.
You just keep writing novels.
But please,
don't write me in them again.
Fine. I won't.
But can you do a questionnaire?
Ms. Chen Ruo-min,
an irresponsible man
-and a control freak,
-Good morning!
which one is scarier?
Why are there only two kinds of men?
Don't we have the third kind in the world?
-It's your fault.
-It's your fault.
The third kind won't appear
out of thin air.
We, women, have to be stronger
and keep evolving
to force out the third kind of man.
The third kind of man…
The power is off?
Didn't we pay the bill?
Don't waste electricity.
If you understand men,
why don't you get some?
Do you know that Australian guy is 70
and still an electrician?
I wonder if he can deal
with an electrical leakage woman like Mom.
I don't think so.
Mom is a nuclear power plant.
If an accident happens,
it will be a disaster.
How scary!
What?
What do you see?
Go on.
You go ahead.
Fine. That Robert…
He hasn't responded.
ROBERT CALLING
Rose!
You! Answer so late!
You're bad!
Don't play with my heart.
I'm afraid that you might go.
Do you want me to visit you?
Go where?
What?
You've just been scammed.
Don't you remember?
There is no scam syndicate
in the Southern Hemisphere.
And for love,
you have to strike while the iron is hot.
You're right.
Can you not be so impulsive, Mom?
Here's the deal. When I'm free,
let's go on a trip with Ruo-min, okay?
Okay!
You can keep video chatting with Robert.
Just video chat. Okay?
What's the rush?
But…
I'll buy your plane tickets.
Okay!
But…
And the daily allowances abroad as well.
Okay!
All right.
I'll get going.
Wait.
You love Jin's car, don't you?
You must be happy
to enjoy it alone.
When I drove the car for the first time,
I asked Jin, "Where do you want to go?"
She told me
to drive as far away as possible.
So the two of us
drove the car all the way
to the north coast.
But I want that one.
This one tastes great.
Here.
Right here.
Wait for me, Jin.
It feels great.
Looking at the sea
and the cloud in the sky,
I can get rid of all my troubles.
Yes.
Lu Yi.
-I know that I've been…
-It's all right.
I don't mind.
I can't help it.
She was my best friend.
Believe me,
Mei-mei.
In her mind,
she thought so too.
Take care.
Where do you plan to go?
Yes.
Where do I plan to go?
It tastes great.
Where did you buy it?
In our neighborhood.
No. That's impossible.
You've never walked around it.
But with you around, I don't have to.
Where do you want to go today, Jin?
Jin said,
"Don't cry, Mei-mei."
And…
don't forget to watch the DVD.
Each life, each relationship,
each happiness and sadness,
each commodity
-has its own manufacturing date
-Hey, you hit me.
-and expiration date.
-Saw my…
-The deadline of a novel…
-It's very difficult…
How can I say something
-so disgusting?
-the moment
that you see through love…
Okay.
Yes.
Beautiful.
…is always mixed with confusion,
fear,
anticipation,
and surprises
because it's a beginning and an end,
waiting for you to say goodbye to
and encounter.
Hello?
ADAPTED FROM CHEN MING-MIN'S NOVEL
How frightening.
There's another missing girl.
It's the seventh missing girl in Taipei
related to online dating.
When the 24-year-old female postgraduate
got off from work
at 6 p.m. from a beverage shop
near Taipei Main Station on the 10th,
she told her co-workers
that she was going to meet a man
whom she had met…
Why didn't you make any noises?
Nobody is allowed
to watch the news in this house.
They are either selling vainglory
or selling fear on the news.
I tried on
the white dress.
I don't think it fits me.
If we can't solve the problem,
I don't think
I'll need to meet your family.
But I think
you'll get along very well with my family.
Fine.
About you moving here,
we really should talk to them.
Yes.
By the way,
I'm going shopping
at the convenience store.
The cat and the dog
are locked up in the room.
They are throwing a tantrum.
Just ignore them.
Let's celebrate tonight.
I'll play some music.
Ru-rong.
I love you.
But…
"I love you" has two meanings.
One of them is
"I need you"
while the other is
"I'll do anything for you."
Which one are you?
