1. The Legend of Shen Li

2. Blossoms in Adversity
Chinese Drama - 2024, 40 episodes
My girl crush this month. Honestly, I was never going to watch this show, but I am glad I was bored and hit the play button because, wow, my fl (Hua Zhi) was so inspiring and empowering. She is a smart and brave woman who uses the skills she has learned to build her way up while ensuring her family remains safe. I love that you see her character grow as she deals with each problem that comes her way while also staying true to who she is. I honestly want to be just like her.
P.S: I also loved the sisterhood and how all the women gained confidence and learned to stand up and love for themselves. Their lives may have not been perfect but they made the best of what they had. The name "Blossoms in Adversity" couldn't have been a more perfect title for this drama and the women❣️

Graceful and elegant fl with intelligence and strength to back her up and her ability to turn hair pins into lethal weapons. Intuitive and observant to a T. Always asking the right question and sometimes being a source of laughter as everyone else scrambles to give her a believable answer.
