The most mysterious yet heart-breaking story plotted in the Novoland.

This is my first review as I was strongly determined to write for this excellent drama that had me in tears, laughter and surprised.

Each and every character in this story has a unique personality and the best part is that everyone of them had depth in their character. Right from how they were laid out, the dialogues, the actors and everything was up to mark. We had a lot of predictions discussed in the comment section but only 10 percent of them came true. So you can say that this is not a drama where u would know what would happen next without any suspense and this is exactly what keeps you engaged all throughout the 48-episodes of this drama.

Every little detail in the drama has been attended to. Haishi’s sword is rather special. Her weapon adopts characters of her birthplace and her background or geographical elements. That’s how the sword is made. It’s handle is inlaid with sea shells to connect with her birthplace. Everything had reference to their personalities, the place where they grew up and so on.

Since this was a high budget drama, the action scenes were of high class. You could feel the goose bumps and your fingers on the rewind button. Scenic sets and the beautiful scenery laid out in the Hengdian World Studios would stun you.

This drama has a set of heartbreaking and touching ost’s from some of our favourite singers - Zhou Shen, Zhang Bichen, Jane Zhang, Zhang lei, Shuang Sheng and Li Qi , who are also known for the emotions in their voice which can nevertheless make you tear up…….

The drama kick starts with a mysterious and a beautiful mermaid saving our female lead when she was young. The CGI will absolutely stun you. The female lead - Haishi is someone who has grown up by watching the back of our male lead - Fang jianming. She admires him and her perspective of the world was acquired through him which makes him very special and important to her. Once haishi confesses her love to her shifu (master), he is taken aback by her action and starts to avoid her. He slowly realises that the care he has for his favourite disciple (who has been disguised as a male) is not something a master and a disciple share but instead it was something more….

It is a pity that fate has planned a cruel life ahead of them where each of them are held back by their responsibilities. Fang jianming has been loyal to the emperor his whole life which resulted in the slaughter of officials and people who stood as obstacles for their plan to balance the power in the court.

His only desire in his life was to protect the hard earned peace and protect the emperor, who was his very dear friend. But everything changed when Haishi appeared in his life. He now has someone whom he desires to protect. But he has sinned too much to have a happy ending with his beloved….

The tragic fate that life plays, hard earned affection, unyielding love, impenetrable souls that don’t waver even for a second, to protect the people from misery that war causes
They are all ready to sacrifice.

It would be great if only they shown up in their best years.

The Executive producer of this drama told something that I very much agree with -
''It has a unique worldview. This TV story is sad but a beautiful love story that resonates more with female viewers. The love in this series is actually tormenting. We often use the words tormenting and tormenting love.'' Gao chen (Executive producer)

‘’ Over a decade of compromise only leads to desperation. I want nothing more than to see my love ……… lead a normal and happy life’’
