"On Air"

Dear listeners

Let us continue

with yesterday's story

Jun Chu, with no means, broke Man Li's heart

And he deeply regrets it

After a few days of torment

He finally decides to write her a letter

Asking to meet her, with plans to

Surprise her with a marriage proposal

Sorry!

Watch it!

Thank you

The car's on fire, run!

It's going to explode!

I made you some special dishes today

I told you to let Rong Ma do the cooking

Don't get it wrong

My mother treats you like her daughter in law

But to me

You're no more than a guest in this house

If it weren't for my mother's lie

About her being seriously sick

And forcing me into this marriage

I wouldn't even have let you in the door

I promised your mother I would take care of you

Would you stop repeating that?

Take care of me?

Do you even know me?

Oh, I blinked in this one!

The others are very good

You're very photogenic

Someday

When I become old and ugly

Will you still love me?

Jun Chu...

Will you marry me?

Fine, I know the answer...

Jun Chu is really good with the camera

Let's forget the past

And start over...

What do you say?

Is this shot okay?

This one?

Jun Chu

If someday

We should be separated

I hope that you will

Listen to this recording once in awhile

And always remember me

Jun Chu!

Jun Chu?

What do you want?

I heard strange sounds coming from here

So I came up

It's nothing

The young master has given orders

Other than him

No one is permitted to enter this room

Rong Ma

who lived here before us?

You've been here for awhile

Who lived here before us?

Mrs. Shen's distant relatives

Lived here in the past

But they moved out three years ago

Since then, the house has been empty

Mrs. Shen wanted to leave

this house for her son and his wife

His wife?

Yes, and that's you

This house is too big

There are still a lot of places I've never been to

Could you show me around?

Is something wrong?

What do you mean?

Nothing... Nothing

Rong Ma!

If you have something to say, just say it

We're of the same roots and upbringing

Let's save the formalities between us

I often hear strange sounds in this house

It's as if someone's trying to speak to me

You're already married into this household

Take my advice

Just live in peace

Back where I come from

Eating bats isn't out of the ordinary

We even ate the leeches

We would tie a calf

In the pond

And let the leeches crawl all over it

After the leeches are done with their feast

We then hack them off the calf

Peel them open

And squeeze out all the blood inside

Then we'd stir them with a little sesame oil

So delicious...

That's enough

Fine

As for the past...

Don't ask about it anymore

Never mention it again

The young master doesn't like to hear about it

Understood?

Who is that?

Who's speaking?

You are now listening to "Flirting with Jazz"

Hello everyone

This is your DJ, Man Li

Dear listeners

Let us continue

with yesterday's story

Jun Chu, with no means

broke Man Li's heart

And he deeply regrets it

After a few days of torment

He finally decides to write her a letter

Expressing his true sentiments

This is Shanghai's Osbourne Radio Station

Who let you in here?

My mother is here

she is waiting downstairs

I don't want to upset her

So listen carefully...

In the future

if you dare to set foot in this room again

I will make sure that

you are out of this place forever!

What do you actually do all day long?

Didn't you say you weren't filming anymore?

Where do you disappear off to all day?

San San says she hardly sees you

As for Rong Ma

I don't know whether I should curse her

or thank her

She makes me go up to the temple with her

Claiming I have an "ill fortune" to avoid

I wouldn't be separated

from you if it weren't for her

But we have to be grateful

If it weren't for her divination

We wouldn't have the great addition of San San

You...

This is ridiculous!

Really ridiculous!

Take it easy, slow down

How could something like that happen?

She threw up all over me!

Don't be so angry.

It's so repulsing

I'm really sorry

I don't know what happened

Is mother all right?

She and Rong Ma went back to the temple

Change your clothes

And get some rest

And you?

You're not going to bed?

I still have work to do

Jun Chu

My name is Man Li

I was Jun Chu's lover

We were engaged to be married

But a year ago

I died suddenly

In a car accident

Seeing him sleepless every night...

It is more painful for me than it is for you

When you love someone so dearly

And yet you can't even come near him

Do you know how that feels?

It's pain...

Endless pain...

I know you truly love Jun Chu

So I ask you now

To replace me

Help Jun Chu to forget about me and our past

And lead a new life with him

It's impossible

It's possible

As long as you try

Like this evening, wasn't that easy?

Jun Chu not only spoke to you

He even handed your pyjamas to you

What do you mean?

I took over your body

I possessed it

So I could talk to Jun Chu

To touch him...

Even if it's just one touch...

But...

Every time I get close to him

I make him very sick

San San

As long as you agree

We can save Jun Chu together

San San

Go away!

Jun Chu

Mr. Shen came down with a cold

And it has further turned into pneumonia

It's rather serious

Oh no...

Doctor

Is there any way we can save him?

We'll do it at any cost

Don't worry

we'll do everything we can

However,

medicine can only alleviate the symptoms

The patient's will to live

Is the key to his recovery

You should get some rest, Mrs. Shen

I will come back later

Thank you

Come out!

I know you're here!

Come out!

You said you could help Jun Chu

I'm begging you

Please come out

I'm begging you...

He's very sick...

And only you can help him

Only you can save him

Please come out

What happened to Jun Chu?

He's very sick

Please save him

You said

I'll do whatever you need me to do!

I had forced myself into your body the last time

So I could only stay for a very short while

If you want me to stay in your body longer

I need you to work with me

I need you to hold your breath

But if you want to hold it longer

you cannot achieve that on your own

So

You must therefore do it underwater

It's going to be tough and painful

I am not afraid of pain

If we didn't meet

What would you look like now?

I should thank you for taking me in, Master!

I will follow you everywhere forever

Does forever really exist?

What I am trying to say is

I like the way we are now

But things can change so easily

Everything can change

But I will stay the same

So tell me who is more powerful

You or fate?

Mrs. Shen, you're going to Room 208, right?

It's here

Man Li!

Man Li!

When you propose me that time

I didn't response

I thought I wasn't ready

But I've thought it over

I want to be with you forever

I know

It's all my fault...

If I hadn't hesitated

Nothing would have happened to you

I've already bought you the wedding ring!

Just get well

By the time you recover
