Sunk in Obsession — Atonement Before the Buddha

What are you doing? Atoning. I broke my vow in Mesul. I owe Buddha an explanation.

Pastor Qi, you're insane! This is a temple. So? Right in front of her,

real sin counts as redemption. Tell her— When you cut me off from Buddha, did you think of Him?

Only finishing here settles it. Qi Mu, you're a madman! You'll face retribution. Move again,

and I'll throw you before the statue. Three months. For three months, your only task

is to help me out this flame. Since Master Shen wants this product of mine, how can I refuse?

Easy now. Your brother knew all along I waited for him years. Enough crying.

Cry your heart out, and he won't look once. Who's it for? Ye Xunwan is Li Sihan's fiancee.

Why would Brother Yumu break that for her? In the ice cave, you were full of general's heart. Afraid the inner demon breaks out?

Ye Xunwan is his sister. Whose side are you on? I'm the son fate chose. If my brother truly cared,

he'd be a fool to act. No second chance for you. But— I won't give up.

Lost is lost; no coming back. Interesting. To pull my brother off his throne, make him this wreck—

I can't wait for what's next. Whose side are you on? I side with no one. Only the interesting side.

As for you— Better hit the sack now. Silly. Bro.

Now you've broken the vow, never look back. The road back is rough. Been cleaned up too.

You're right. I am sick. Miss Ye, the madam requests your presence.

Understood. Madam, Miss Ye is here. Miss Ye, have a seat. Some tea?

Fresh Dahongpao from Wuyi. No thanks, I'm not thirsty. Relax, I don't bite. Sit and chat.

Yumu's a brute for force. I assumed in the Shen house, sophistication reigns. You, Miss Ye, are surprise.

Madam, if I said it won't go anywhere, I know. Miss Ye,

the Shen family's threshold is high. Easy to enter, hard to leave. But—

I'm a mother. I can't stand seeing my son become a piece that keeps you chained to his side.

Forced love isn't sweet. That lesson, I must teach him. Shen men

are blinded by obsession. He thinks locking you away can quell that fire. But he forgets,

the fire, before it's doused, burns ever higher. Shen Yumo. He won't let me go.

Miss Ye. If you wish to leave, I can send you away. Go now.
