I watched this and Xiao Zhuang Mi Shi, I only kind of realized now where Yu Zheng may have gotten his Palace ideas from. I love Ning Jing and Hu Jing together very much, this is like their 3rd collaboration together (with Steve Ma included). Too bad Ning Jing plays a small role in this one, and she isn't sisterly with Hu Jing like usual. However, I think I actually like this drama more than Xiao Zhuang Mi Shi where Ning Jing is the lead. I really love Hu Jing's character in this one. She is a chivalrous heroine who can fight and she is so determined. And Zhao Hong Fei is so darn handsome too! That scene when he flirts with Hu Jing in the boat and she gets all shy...that is one of the cutest moments I'd ever came across in C-dramas. And then it comes that ending, he betrayed her and she tries to revenge, it's so sad and astonishing. Hu Jing's acting is so good, you can feel all the pain she went through. I really wished this drama gets subbed so more people know about it. I kind of hated everything else included Steven Ma and Dai Jiao Qian scenes except for Hu Jing and Zhao Hong Fei together. Everyone else is so boring, that's why I won't rate this drama a 10. But, Hu Jing and Zhao Hong Fei's story is above 10 for me, it's 20/10. Even though it's such a painful ending for her, and he's such an evil man, it's still very interesting over all. Bad quality MV but can't really find some good ones anymore:
