ENG SUB《在下“英台”》In the Name of Ying Tai | EP01 | 巾帼不让须眉，红颜胜儿郎！ | 腾讯视频-动漫
The world was divided into three kingdoms for sixty years of chaos, until the rise of the three great masters of the Liujia Sect. They were Situ Yi, Zhuge Long, and Lu Boyan. In the regions of Northern Luo, Western Jing, and Eastern Jiang. They held real power in the courts of the three kingdoms. These few seemed to share a certain tacit understanding. Their balance of power maintained a delicate peace in the land. To the emperors, it was a way to keep their own power by fostering rivals. But to the common people, it was a rare period of peace. General Xie Ling of Western Jing broke this balance. He started a war and shook the Central Plains. Lu Boyan turned the tide, and Xie Ling died in battle. Xie Ling’s divine steed, the red Qilin, sought revenge and hunted Lu Boyan. The Liujia Sect’s founder, Huang Jiyan, sent the Hundred Illusion Butterfly Clan to subdue the beast under a giant stone. Twenty years later, Zhuge died of illness and Situ retired from office. Lu Boyan lost his military power. The balance of the world began to waver. Zhu Die’er, a descendant of the Liujia Sect and the Butterfly Clan, had heroic ambitions. She disguised herself as a man and entered the royal academy. She wished to join the army, fight the enemy, and earn merit as a general. Brother Zhu, is this your first time in Jianye? Yes, it’s my first time. So this is the village where the Emperor of Eastern Jiang lives. Find the emperor and tell him, I want to join the army, fight for my country, and bring peace to the people. That’s an admirable ambition. But it’s not so easy to meet His Majesty. Hey, Brother Liang. Is the emperor sitting in that beautiful carriage? One driver, one passenger—probably a scholar. The Son of Heaven rides in a jade carriage drawn by six horses. With a driver, a right-hand guard, and two maidservants. Six horses and four attendants. If only I could ride in one someday… Don’t speak such presumptuous words. What’s that colorful thing up ahead? What a beautiful kite. It would be so much fun to use it for Liujia training. Who is it? That’s dangerous. Miss, be careful! Sorry, boss. This one is broken. It’s fine, it’s fine. Great Immortal, so merciful and compassionate. Ah, no, no, I’m not an immortal. This is the Liu Jia technique. Liu Jia technique? Miss, are you alright? Young master, I’m fine. Young master, my name is Bu Chan. May I ask your surname, young master? Where do you live, young master? Are you married, young master? I… my surname is Zhu, my name is Die’er. I live at the Zhu family stronghold outside Jianye. I’m not… not married yet. Zhu family stronghold? Young Master Zhu, please wait. You saved my life, Young Master Zhu. I want to go back with you. I’ll serve you tea, do your laundry, and take care of you. No, no, that’s not possible. I still have to go study at the academy. We appreciate your kindness, miss. We appreciate it. Yes, yes, we appreciate it, let go of me. Hey, don’t pull me. Miss, please, don’t. Do you think you can just leave Jinghong Pavilion whenever you want? Thank you, Young Master Zhu, for saving my life. I thank you on behalf of Bu Chan. It’s only right to help someone in need. A scholar studies not just for a bright future, but also to learn proper conduct. Lending a helping hand is the right thing to do. You two will surely become pillars of the nation one day. Hehe, well then, thank you, Madam Yinzhu, for the tea. We’ve rested enough. It’s time to report to the academy. Let’s go, let’s go. Wait. May I ask, Young Master Zhu, are you a descendant of the Liu Jia Sect? Yes. My father is Zhu Gongyuan. He is the third-generation leader of the Liu Jia Sect. I saw you use the true Liu Jia technique. You truly are a direct heir of the Liu Jia Sect. You even know about such a small, rundown sect? Small. Over twenty years ago, Liujia Sect was the largest and most renowned sect in the world. Wow. My father never says much about it. Sister, can you tell me more about the origins of Liujia Sect? It turns out Liujia Sect has four main branches: Water, Fire, Wood, and Wind. I wonder if I’ll be able to befriend any of their members after enrolling. Brother Liang. So this is the academy. It’s so big. It’s much bigger than the ancestral hall at the Zhu family stronghold. That’s right, Brother Zhu. The Four Clans Academy is a royal academy. Its standards are naturally higher. What is the Four Clans Academy? Lu, Zhou, Zhu, and Ma. The four largest noble families in Jiangdong. The Sun family raised an army and started an uprising in Jiangdong. They received the full support of the four clans. It took over thirty years to establish the Jiangdong foundation. All four clans rose to high positions. Oh, that’s well deserved. After Jiangdong was founded, this royal academy was established. It gathers the most learned people from across the land. To educate royal descendants and the children of noble families. As well as the descendants of military heroes. So you are… I’m just Young Master Ma’s study companion. What’s a study companion? Oh, it’s Sanbai. Explaining the academy’s history to the new students again? Good morning, Mr. Yan. Don’t call me that. How could an old gatekeeper like me be called “Mister”? Elders have experienced much in life. They are wise and understand the ways of the world. There’s always something we can learn from them. So cute, so cute. And this young man, where have you come to study from? Hello, Mr. Yan. I am Zhu Die’er from the Zhu family stronghold on the outskirts of Jianye. Oh my, oh my. Why do you two look like childhood sweethearts at first glance? Brother Zhu is a man. How could we be childhood sweethearts? We—we’ve only known each other for a few days. What’s wrong with being a man? And what’s wrong with being a woman? It’s all the same. Both can rely on their own intelligence and talent to achieve great things. It’s just a pity that the academy doesn’t accept women. Isn’t the world missing out on half its talent? Grandfather is right. Absolutely right. Fortunately, even though the academy has no female students, it does have a female teacher. That’s a good start. Oh, a female teacher. Go on in. The head of the academy could come to inspect at any time these days. Don’t mess up your attire. Don’t pull me. I can walk by myself. Hurry up, hurry up. The head of the academy is not easy to deal with. There’s still an empty seat in this class. You sit down first. Nice to meet you. I’ve heard so much about you. Isn’t there an empty seat in the first row? Someone’s sitting there. Young Master Ma hasn’t come. Oh, I see. Hold onto these books for now. If there’s nothing on your desk, you’ll get noticed. Isn’t that a bit inappropriate? Shouldn’t I go through the enrollment process first? There’s no time for that now. I forgot the headmaster gives a speech on the first of every month. We almost ran late. We’ll get scolded. Just sit down for now. Okay. Arrange them neatly. What does the headmaster look like? Is he a fierce-looking uncle or an old white-bearded grandpa? You’ll see in a moment. Hey. Has the headmaster arrived? The headmaster is a young man. Headmaster Sun This is… I wasn’t asking you. G-g-greetings, Headmaster. Hello. D-d-do you have any instructions, Headmaster? Why are you stuttering? I-I-I’m n-n-not s-s-stuttering. You call that not stuttering? You’re just like those quails. Hello, Headmaster Sun. Do you have any instructions, Headmaster Sun? Introduce yourself. What’s your name? Where are you from? My name is Zhu Die’er. I’m from the Zhu family village on the outskirts of Jianye. I’m twenty years old. I usually do farm work at home. During the off-season, I learn a bit of basic martial arts. My father’s name is Zhu Gongyuan. He’s an unlicensed doctor. His medical skills aren’t great, but he can handle headaches, fevers, bruises, constipation, and diarrhea. Those aren’t really a problem for him. What’s going on? Why all the noise? The Left Dean is here for an inspection. And you still dare to act out? It’s fine, it’s fine. Usually, it’s just a bunch of timid quails. Today, I see a sparrow. That’s quite interesting. Student Huang, what did you do? Come out here. My surname isn’t Huang. Hey! You dare talk back? Come out. Enough. I’m asking questions—why are you two interrupting? We wouldn’t dare. Left Dean, please give your instructions. Student Huang, oh, I mean Student Zhu, you’re new here, right? Since you’ve introduced yourself, out of courtesy, I’ll introduce myself as well. Dean, please. My surname is Sun, given name Bulin. I’m twenty-one this year. I’m the Left Dean of the Four Families Academy. There are left and right deans? You dare talk back? Left for martial arts, right for literature. I usually teach students swordsmanship and martial arts. To strengthen the body. And to protect our home and country. Great! My dream is also to fight evil and help the good. To protect our home and country, huh? You— You just said you’ve learned a bit of martial arts. I’d like to see it for myself. Sure, sure! The courtyard outside is quite spacious. This is such a rare opportunity. Alright. Then let’s have a match. Dean Zuo, you mustn’t! Absolutely not! Think of the academy’s reputation! And the royal dignity! You mustn’t, you mustn’t! Dean Zuo! Let’s go. If you lose, the royal family’s honor will be gone! Let go of me! I’ve been bored to death these past few months. Finally, something interesting has come up. If you don’t let go, I’ll poke you with my sword! No, you mustn’t! Hurry, go watch the fun! How should we compete? You decide. Swords are too dangerous. Let’s just compete in martial arts. No fighting to the death. If one person falls, the other is the winner. Could I really lose to this kid in just two moves? I lost. You didn’t lose, you didn’t lose. Dean Zuo didn’t fall. He didn’t fall at all. It doesn’t count. It’s fine, try again. Dean Zuo’s “Thousand-Pound Drop” is the strongest I’ve ever faced. Let’s go again, let’s go again! Think of the royal family’s honor! Then I’ll make my move. His agility is much better than mine. It messes with your mind. This kid really has some skills. If this keeps up, I’ll run out of stamina soon. This won’t do. I won. Master Zuo, Master Zuo! Are you alright? How are you? My waist… Don’t help me, don’t help me. I’ll do it slowly. I’ll do it myself. As long as you’re okay. Cut him down! Cut him down! Princess Jun! Princess Jun! Don’t!
