The Second Woman Page #2

Is it you, Zhaorong?

Why was it like that?

Why did I speak of myself as Huiniang?

Did the fortune-Teller predict rightly?

Huiniang's spirit is taking over my body...

... to rob Peilang from me?

Huiniang!

You're too impudent!

How dare you exploiting my body...

...to seduce my Peilang?

Huiniang?

Is that you, Huiniang?

Huiniang?

Am I Huiniang?

I'm Huiniang?

Look at this. A token from her.

She's been dead for three years.

Zhaorong, look.

Peilang always carries this token with him.

This is a proof of his love for me.

I beg you.

Please give up your body

and fulfill our wish.

Zhaorong is really mad.

What should I do?

What should I do?

Huiniang...

is this the token you used...

...to seduce my Peilang?

I'll destroy it.

And let your homeless spirit

wander around...

...finally turning into ashes

No!

Peilang!

Do you love Huiniang...

or Zhaorong?

I...

of course I love you, Zhaorong.

If so, destroy the token to prove your love.

But this is the only thing Huiniang...

... left behind.

I can't afford to be so heartless...

...as to destroy it.

Huiniang is like a plum blossom.

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.

I almost didn't recognize you on the stage.

It's almost like you're reincarnated.

But I must point out a few mistakes.

Near the end of act one,

you almost tripped me.

Sorry for that. I'll do better next time.

I'll go get a drink.

Why did you lie to me?

I didn't.

Those applauses were fake.

Why did they have to act...

... after the play was over?

What are you angry at?

She did you a favor, didn't she?

What's the point of all this?

Stop the car!

Slop!

I went to watch the second half of the play.

Huixiang was indeed better than me.

She's just an amateur.

Really?

You do think so?

You are lying.

If you are so pressured...

you might as well quit.

You've wanted to say so for a long time.

I'll quit, then.

I like the smell of your body.

If Im gone, what'd you do?

Why will you be gone?

A one...

...and a two...

a one and a two...

how I wish...

...there's only one me in this world.

Miss, any particular style you'd want?

Let me have a look at this.

Huixiang.

Come and help me pick.

Why the necklace?

Someone wants to make up for his mistakes.

I'll take this.

Are you sure you can't make it?

I'm sorry...

don't you want to see me?

I shouldn't come...

where are you?

If you don't want to see me...

Ill vanish.

You'll never see me again.

Drinking by yourself? Why?

I'm by myself, that's why.

Don't drink too much. I'll get changed.

What?

Dance with me.

Let's get married.

Why?

It's time we settle down.

We can settle down by getting married?

Have you made your choice?

What's that?

Let's talk at the back of the hill.

Huixiang?

Are you back?

Is it raining outside?

Huixiang, is it raining outside?

Did you get soaked?

I'm fine. Mom.

Go to sleep.

Hello?

Where have you been?

I couldn't reach your mobile.

Have you forgotten the

signing of the contract?

I'll come right now.

Huixiang...

Huixiang...

are you back?

Have you forgotten your keys?

Mrs. Lin, it's me.

I've come to bring you

to dinner at our place.

See, she is like last time again.

Gone without leaving a single word...

Huixiang called me.

She said she was going away for...

... a few days for some business.

I'll take care of you.

Sorry to trouble you again, Mrs. li.

No problem,

just adding an extra pair of chopsticks.

Did Huixiang tell you where she went?

No. She didn't mention.

Here's Mrs. li.

She didn't even bring her mobile phone.

She's been away for five days.

Didn't even give me one call.

Will there be an accident?

No.

Did she mention where she was going?

No. She just said...

...she'd be away for a couple of days.

Shall we call the police?

Call the police?

It's not necessary.

Last time we were on tour...

...she followed the troupe

for almost a month.

She's most probably just out...

... on a trip by herself.

Let's wait for a few more days.

I agree. Huixiang called me herself.

What's wrong, mom?

Mom!

Come and stay with us for a couple of days.

Huixiang may return in a couple of days.

I don't want to trouble you.

Bao.

Why don't you come to stay with me?

Is that okay for you?

Didn't Bao say so?

Huixiang always disappeared...

... like that without a word.

I know.

This time I just felt...

a bit weird.
