I’m splitting this video up into two parts since it does get a little lengthy, but it’s
a good one.
Hope you all like it.
Anyways, let’s begin.
So this scene starts off with the events from the last episode.
I explained this part from episode 48 a few days ago, which I will link down in the video
in the description below for anyone who is interested.
The Wolf finally goes unconscious and Li Qin tells him that if she doesn’t return then
don’t wait for her.
And if he does end up finding someone else, then her only request is that he doesn’t
watch butterflies with that person because that’s sort of their thing.
We go to the next scene and the fourth prince is seen tied up on a post.
Ma Zhai Xing appears at the city gates with Yao Ji.
The minister calls out and asks them where the Wolf is.
She replies back that he couldn’t come, but she wants to see the second Prince.
The scene pans to the second Prince, who is told by the minister that Ma Zhai Xing wants
to make a deal to withdraw her troops in exchange for the safe return of the fourth prince.
At first he doesn’t really believe her, but decides to let her in anyways because
he doesn’t see her as a threat.
In the next scene we see Xiao Zhan who wakes up and pulls an arrow out of his chest.
He pulls an amulet out from under his armor and recognizes that it had saved his life.
We go back to the city main gates and the minister invites her inside, but Li Qin tells
him to let the fourth prince go first before they will enter.
They untie the prince but the minister tells her that she has to go in alone.
Yao Ji had wanted to go with her as that was part of their original plan, but Li Qin had
already predicted that the second prince would not allow her to do that.
She then exchanges hairpins, putting Yao Ji’s hairpin in her hair and says that in this
way Yao Ji will be entering the palace with her.
She tells her to take care of the Wolf if she does not return.
There is a brief flashback of the pair discussing the plan and Yao Ji realizes that the princess
had not planned on coming back.
The Wolf is woken up by a yellow butterfly.
He picks up Li Qin’s final message to him, a note that she had left behind for when he
wakes up.
As he reads the letter he starts to panic and rushes out on horseback to save the love
of his love.
The note read: “Dear Husband, please take care of yourself.
Don’t try to follow me.
I know that when you read this letter that you will not stand by, but please do not try
to follow me.
In this life I have always chased after you.
I know how painful that feeling is.
Back when I was apart from you, I had to chase after your memory, feeling full of remorse
and regret.
When I finally saw you again, I was still chasing after the Wolf and Lord Bo.
Whether it was love or hate, I never let you go for even one day.
Chasing after you in this way was painful.
I don’t want the rest of your life to be like this.
My last wish is that you live well.
Having you in my life makes me have no regrets.
We get to the next scene and she’s walking up the steps and finally sees the second Prince,
who tells her that the last time when they met in the palace she was Lord Bo’s wife.
Then when she had regained her status as royalty, she fought a battle with him in the forest,
until finally meeting him again today.
He tells her that it must have been a difficult road, to which she replies that it must have
been a hard road for him as well.
We as audience know what she’s implying, that although his status has been changed
as well, it was achieved through treachery.
After some banter about sacrifices made by each side, Li Qin boldly demands that if he
opens the gates to the city right now, she will allow him to remain as one of her vassals
and will not persecute him any further.
He’s furious and asks her if she’s gone crazy because Lord Bo is dying.
After this scene we see the Wolf riding a horse to the city gates to come save Li Qin.
As archers are firing arrows down on him, he remembers her words: “Even though you
are Lord Bo now, you will always be my kind Wolfboy from Wolf Mountain.
You must have someone whom you want to protect.
You are not a beast, you are a human being.
And life is short and unpredictable.
No one can foresee who we will say goodbye to next.
Perhaps we should cherish our life in the present.
Your life has been difficult, but I don’t think heaven wanted to mistreat you in that way.
If I didn’t give up, you shouldn’t either.
If things can stay like this in the present, being able to see you live well forever, then
I’m willing to pay any price.
Perhaps if the two of us had found the truth out sooner, then we didn’t need to wait
this long to be together.”
We go back to Darren Wang who has arrived at the outer gates.
He tries to make his way up the walls as the soldiers fire arrows down below.
The Wolf then makes his final soliloquy: “We’ve had to endure eight or nine years of misunderstanding,
love, hate, and anguish.
Our past has taught us the valuable lesson that we must treasure each other more.”
As he gets hit by more and more arrows, he remembers his final promise to Li Qin: “From
this time forward, I will protect you the rest of my life, and we will never be apart
again.”
I’m gonna break it off here for a moment and finish the rest of this explained video
in part two, the grand conclusion, since this video is getting a little long.
At this point enemy soldiers are closing in on both Li Qin inside the citadel and Darren
at the city gates.
Xiao Zhan has managed to infiltrate the citadel as well, and is seen sneaking past the enemy
troops, but it seems like the numbers and odds are stacked against our heroes.
“The Wolf” has been really good.
Yeah, there have been misunderstandings that have been kind of annoying, but the acting
and performances from the three main leads have just been incredible.
I’m continually impressed by how well they have done in each of these scenes, and am
really glad I watched this one.
There are always looming questions as always, but that’s for another video.
Anyways, that’s all I have for you guys today, thanks for watching.
