ACTING: The acting in this show was pretty good. It transported me into the world straight away. My only complaint is that some facial expressions were exaggerated in the beginning.
MUSIC: It was not that memorable, though it fit the respective scenes well.
REWATCH VALUE: I think this show is most definitely rewatchable, and never got boring.

One of the greatest romance stories
As the title suggests, this drama will go in top romance dramas with crazy chemistry and skinship. I would love to express my personal feelings for story and characters. Remember my views can differ from popular opinion.Story is simple, we have a girl who was abandoned in the desert living with wolves, later picked up by a man who adopted her. After her dad was killed she returned to roam with her wolf pack. One day she meets two men. First one is very handsome guy with leg disability and other one is a charismatic guy. Both falls for her at 1st sight. Though, the 1st guy doesn't show it. Then she meets both the guys again in the same dynasty. She first meets the handsome guy and she falls hard for him. She tried to express her feelings for him but the guy pushes her away every time they get close. This goes on for few years. After repeated rejection , she leaves for the desert again where upon spending a lot of time with the charismatic guy(2nd guy) , who is very open about his feelings , she falls for him too.
Then we follow this love triangle.
Let's go to the characters
1. Handsome guy(1st guy): his character arc is very much tragic. He had heavy responsibilities from childhood and along with disability and infertility. So, understandably he is very reserved and hides his feelings. I had no problem with his character until the last 3rd portion of the show. 1st portion is his repeated rejection and noble idiocy. 2nd half is his regret for treating FL as child and not being honest with her. In the 3rd portion, he goes full on sacrifice mode. I pity his 2 followers.. I will be very honest here, I was never on board with his romance line. It felt too much one sided. More of father - daughter relationship.
I have personal grudge against him for taking liberties with fl too times. One time was, she was sleeping. I believe that Love should not come from pity. But that's what I feel about him most of the time .
2. Charismatic guy: Now we have the potentially pathetic character who did not seem pathetic with the amazing acting by the actor. He was brought up pretty well and has sense patriotism, very loyal to the kingdom and his uncle and not a fool with muscles. I love this concept of randomness in the romance lines here . I am very much sure that she would have fallen in love with any of the two guys who met her 1st. His character could have been very simp type if not acted properly. He has his moments of sadness from unrequited love. The scene of him standing under the tree abandoned was very effective. He can be little unlikable at 1st with his not so " gentlemenly" ways to get physical with her. But she allows it and seemingly falls for him without even knowing. That's what most sad about him . The girl was pretty much happy with him and she knew how he feels for her and yet she never forbids him seriously while seemingly in deep love with the other guy. So when she goes full on crazy after coming back to the city and knowing " how much and why the 1st guy did" . I will talk more about this on our heroine's section. Other than romance part, he is pretty much typical war hero character who wins every battle. I don't mind that because I was totally rooting for him due the crazy chemistry and zero noble idiocy from his part.
3 FL : Here comes the character whome I love and hate. Her character was very entertaining until the angst kicks in with the 1st guy trying to win her over.
1st of all her instant fall in love with the 1st guy, didn't make much sense to me. Specially when the guy didn't give any positive signal. It may to pointed out that 2nd ml also fell hard for her and always looking for opportunities to be with her. But here is the difference, in his case she responded. Just look at their interactions. Do they seem like without any romantic feelings. She seemed like she was just keeping the 2nd ml for spare part. When she accepts the 2nd guy and starts completely disregarding his feelings but physically intimate with the 1st guy(hugs, bites, kiss) , I was very annoyed with her selfishness. Her feelings very vague about the two guys throughout the show. Actually, there is no " I love u" from her to the 2nd guy. I can tell from her actions that she deeply loves the 2nd guy even though she has feelings for the 1st. Only scene where she confronts her feelings are at the field scene where she breaks down saying that her actions are hurting both the guys , but she also extremely conflicted and in pain. But I don't think that's enough. I was seriously interested in know her feelings for the guys.
As for the ending, very satisfying happy ending for the main couple but the ending was not earned by the couple . They mostly got it because of noble idiocy sacrifice from the 1st ml.

After I finished watching this drama, my only thought was: Wow, this was great and that song fits the drama perfectly! I am pleasantly surprised by the acting from Liu Shi Shi (Xin Yue). There were so many feelings going on and it just somehow pulls you into the drama, rooting for one character to be with Xin Yue. There are also some life lessons about life and love from this drama. One of the main points about love was if you do not take the opportunity at that one moment, you will continue to regret it for the rest of your life.
Highly recommend watching this drama as well as listening to the music on YouTube!
Check out the song! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGsCc34EgeI

There were parts when they were sick I felt that it dragged on a little too long for me. And the ending was a little bit of a let down.

Only the romance was interesting, but it left me frustrated and bitter. Seems like I am the only one since, after reading all the reviews, everyone seemed to be satisfied with the ending.
This drama has one of the most convincing love triangle. Xin Yue is loved by two amazing but very different men :
- Mo Xun (aka Ninth Lord). He is an intellectual and has a weak body. In order to cure himself, he becomes a very talented doctor but runs a wealthy business. This man is nice, quiet and elegant.
- General Wei (Wei Wu Ji) is ambitious and a great fighter. He leads the Nan dinasty's army against the Tartar to the victory. He is not afraid of anything, is a man of word and is strong.
Both are willing to sacrifice their life and happiness in order to protect the one they love.
I honestly loved them both. How can I hate one of them ? However, I did like one better. I shed so many tears for this particular couple, the chemistry was well to me. I saw them suffer so much and I felt so bad for them, I couldn't stay neutral. But Xin Yue does not choose him at the ending and leaves me unsatisfied...
Some of the second leads were nice, just like Aunt Hond or Madam Xiang, but they were not outstanding and the rest was complitely insipide.
It was tough not to skip some scenes from the episode 30 until the last episode.
Really, only the love story between Xin Yue/Ninth Lord and Xin Yue/General Wei worthed watching.
I particularly liked watching the drama from the first episode until the 18th.

Very disappointing from a promising start.
The title intrigued me, and it was a promising start. A strong independent woman who lived alone in the desert with a pack of wolves, and survived. Great start, the actors are mostly terrific, especially Ninth Lord, the actor played his part brilliantly. Now i am wondering how to write a review of 500 words that can express my disappointment in how the story panned out. I did watch until the 19th episode but the last few were painful to watch. Then we have the other ML Wu Ji the actor was good however the written character was not. The story starts to go down hill from there. The FL goes to the city to build her life which she does very successfully with the help of the Ninth Lord in the back ground. Though she is not aware of this. She professes her love for him but he turns her down even though he loves her, because he is disabled. She then decides to return to the desert, Wu ji kidnaps her naked from the inn and takes her to his military barracks and restricts her movements. Ninth lord is sending scouts all over the desert looking for her, with no success. She has her homing pigeons but doesn't think to use them to let Ninth lord she is safe. Then in the 19th episode Wu Ji asks her if she has any feeling for him, she said i don't know. They drink too much and he takes advantage of her, she is horrified and runs out to the desert and screams. Wu Ji turns up and says i am sorry, she said it her fault, he said will you marry me and she smiled and says yes, i mean what sort of story is that. He an abuser and a bully, and potentially a violent man, she turns into a weak, simpering woman with not a brain cell in her head. The story line was so bad i almost cried with frustration. i skipped from the 19 episode to the last one and gave up. What an utter waste of good actors with an possible good story to write. I have watched some very good C dramas this was definately not one of them. i thought i was generous with my ratings. the cast did the best they could with what they were given.Was this review helpful to you?

The ending was also great, it wasn't terrible as some other drama's I've seen. I also enjoyed the side arc/story of Fala Chan, who did a fantastic job. She looked great in this series.
The costumes in this drama are also very beautiful. I love all the outfits the ladies of our drama on.
LASTLY, the reason I cannot get ENOUGH of this drama is because of Eddie Peng. He is so handsome! Just having in him in the drama is enough for me.

O amor verdadeiro (Mo Xun / 9º Lorde) , que tudo sacrifica por quem ama (Xin Yue).
Amo demais os romances tristes de Tong Hua, e adorei a forma como O Som do Deserto destruiu meu coração. Comecei a assistir ao dorama por causa do Hu Ge (Mo Xun / 9º Lorde) e da Liu Shi Shi (Xin Yue), e para mim eles são os verdadeiros protagonistas dessa história. E eu sou uma pessoa com deficiência, por isso me emocionei muito ao ver Mo Xun / 9º Lorde na cadeira de rodas!!(Essa resenha contém muitos spoilers)
No começo da história eu fiquei tão feliz com o fato de Xin Yue estar apaixonada pelo 9º Lorde!! E achei tão linda a forma como ela se declara para ele, a forma como ela o ama tão sinceramente, sem se importar com a deficiência!!
Mas no meio da história comecei a ficar triste demais, pois percebi que no final das contas, era com o Wei Wu Ji que ela iria ficar... Por culpa do próprio 9º Lorde que foi um burro em ter rejeitado o amor dela, mesmo a amando tanto. Ele a rejeitou pois pensava que a Xin Yue seria mais feliz longe dele (que tem deficiência, que era de outra etnia, que tinha relações políticas complicadas e perigosas entre o Imperador chinês e os povos nômades do deserto). E sim, nesse ponto do dorama eu cheguei a ficar com raiva do 9º Lorde, por não ter valorizado o amor sincero da Xin Yue.
E infelizmente o 9º Lorde percebeu isso tarde demais, que a Xin Yue realmente não se importava com nenhum desses problemas. Xin Yue queria apenas se casar com o 9º Lorde e viver ao lado dele! Isso já seria a felicidade para ela! Mas após ela fazer uma linda declaração romantica para ele duas vezes, e ser rejeitada nas duas vezes, ela decide fugir, pois está com o coração partido.
E é aqui que o pior acontece. Wei Wu Ji que era apaixonado pela Xin Yue, resolve se aproveitar da situação, sequestrando a Xin Yue e a levando a força até o acampamento militar. (Aqui ele também esconde dela a verdade, diz que ninguém mais a está procurando. E mente para o 9º Lorde, dizendo não saber onde Xin Yue estava).
O grande problema é que Wu Ji sempre foi uma pessoa intrometida, que ficava toda hora aparecendo na casa da Xin Yue sem ser convidado, e ficava incomodando ela, quando ela claramente não queria a presença dele. Era muito insuportável assistir isso. E quando aparece essa oportunidade de sequestrar ela, ele não pensa duas vezes.
E praticamente 1 ano depois, quando Xin Yue finalmente descobre que o Wu Ji mentiu para ela, ao esconder que o 9º Lorde a estava procurando quando ela fugiu. Xin Yue fica muito magoada com a mentira de Wu Ji, em especial porque Wu Ji também mentiu para o 9º Lorde fingindo não saber onde Xin Yue estava. E quando Xin Yue confronta Wu Ji, ele fica teimoso e age como um cretino, não aceita o que Xin Yue está dizendo, diminui os sentimentos dela, e afirma que ele não fez nada de errado em ter mentido.
Um nojento! Ele manipulou toda a situação, para que Xin Yue pensasse que apenas ele Wu Ji estava ali para ela. Ele manipulou a situação para que Xin Yue ficasse no escuro, sem saber a verdade, sem ter o poder de pensar, sentir, e decidir as coisas por si própria. Sei que essa palavra está na moda e perdendo o peso, mas sinceramente ele parecia um narcisista.
E é muito triste, pois durante 3 anos Xin Yue amou única e exclusivamente o 9º Lorde. E sofreu muito com as suas duas rejeições. E depois, quando ela é sequestrada pelo Wu Ji, e começa a gostar do Wu Ji, ainda assim ela passa vários e vários anos sofrendo, pois ainda ama o 9º Lorde, mas começou a gostar do Wu Ji, fica dividida, e infelizmente sente que não pode voltar atrás, pois ela teve relações sexuais com Wu Ji (diga-se de passagem, quando ela estava super bêbada, e ela só percebe o que aconteceu na manhã do dia seguinte, e tenta suavizar o ocorrido dizendo que Wu Ji não a forçou - sim, não usou força, mas usou um momento vulnerável, e com ausência de capacidade de consentimento, para tirar vantagem dela).
A cena que mais me fez chorar, foi quando o 9º Lorde resolve finalmente dizer a Xin Yue o maior motivo por ter rejeitado ela. É que ele tem uma doença hereditária, altamente fatal em bebês. Ele foi o único entre seus irmãos que sobreviveu. E igualmente a mãe dele foi a única sobrevivente entre vários irmãos. Então ele não queria fazer Xin Yue passar pela dor de ver a morte de vários filhos. E Xin Yue chora muito ao descobrir isso, é uma cena muito emocionante, ela diz que se ele tivesse falado a verdade desde o início, ela não se importaria em evitar ter filhos, ela não se importaria com a doença dele, e teria se casado com ele de qualquer jeito!
As vidas do 9º Lorde e da Xin Yue ficaram completamente devastadas. E fica muito claro que ela continua amando o 9º Lorde, para sempre. Ela só não pode voltar atrás. E depois começa sim a ter sentimentos sinceros pelo Wu Ji, infelizmente, pois Wu Ji é um homem controlador, impulsivo, ciumento e violento.
Quando Xin Yue morde o rosto do 9º Lorde, foi para salvá-lo e impedir que ele caísse na água gelada. Sim, ela estava disposta a se sacrificar por ele, e morrer em seu lugar, porque sim, ela ainda o amava, mas a mordida foi simplesmente para salvá-lo (deixando-o atordoado, criando uma oportunidade para Xin Yue empurrá-lo para longe da água gelada). Mas então quando Wu Ji está levando Xin Yue embora, após ter visto a cicatriz no rosto do 9º Lorde, o Wu Ji cheio de brutalidade e ignorância morde o pescoço de Xin Yue, apenas por ciúmes idiota, e a machuca, faz sair sangue do pescoço dela, e a força um beijo logo em seguida, com o sangue do pescoço dela no meio da saliva deles, é um absurdo ele ter feito isso! Ele nem sequer deu a ela a oportunidade de se explicar, e já partiu para a agressão, eu realmente detesto ele.
Além disso Wu Ji é um ingrato. Quando Wu Ji ficou em coma, o 9º Lorde cuidou dele, fez todo o possível para a salvar a vida de Wu Ji, colocando até mesmo a sua própria vida em perigo, só para salvá-lo. Dias depois, quem ficou em coma foi o 9º Lorde, em consequencia de ter ajudado Wu Ji. Então Xin Yue foi cuidar do 9º Lorde. Mas quando ela enviou uma mensagem para Wu Ji contando o que aconteceu, dizendo que assim que o 9º Lorde saísse do coma, ela voltaria para casa, Wu Ji não quis nem saber, ficou raivoso e violento, e quebrou o jogo de chá, jogando tudo no chão. Uma atitude ridícula, e ingrata, pois ele só está vivo pois o 9º Lorde o salvou! É tudo um absurdo. Ele fez uma birra enorme, além de quebrar o jogo de chá, ele se trancou no quarto, não comeu, e depois fugiu de casa. Tudo porque Xin Yue estava cuidando da pessoa que colocou a própria vida em risco para salvar Wu Ji. Mas Wu Ji é um ingrato ignorante mesmo.
Achei muito triste que o 9º Lorde teve que sacrificar tudo pelo bem de Xin Yue, enquanto Wu Ji era um babaca. Realmente não entendo porque as pessoas que assistem a esse dorama se sentem tão apaixonadas pelo Wu Ji. Provavelmente é porque gostam de homens controladores e narcisistas. E também pelo fato de que o 9º tem deficiência, e a grande maioria das pessoas não escolheria ele como parceiro romântico justamente por causa da deficiência, o que é muito triste.
O 9º Lorde sempre foi altruísta, sincero e verdadeiro. Por mais que ele sofresse, e por mais que ele tenha ido pedir para Xin Yue desistir de Wu Ji para ficar com ele, ele nunca em momento algum forçou Xin Yue, ele simplesmente aceitou que não tinha mais volta. E continuou amando Xin Yue e fazendo de tudo pela felicidade dela! 9º Lorde cuida de Wu Ji sacrificando sua própria saúde, ajuda Xin Yue em tudo que ela precisa, por mais perigoso que seja. Isso é amor sincero. Diferente do amor egoísta do Wu Ji, que nunca faria nada para ajudar o 9º Lorde, nem consegue sentir gratidão por tudo que o 9º Lorde fez por ele e por Xin Yue.
Para mim, a moral da história é: Não deixe as oportunidades se perderem. Pois geralmente quando você perde uma oportunidade, ela nunca mais volta. E deixe as pessoas terem o poder de decidir, fale a verdade, demonstre seus sentimentos, não tende escolher você o que é melhor para a outra pessoa. Arrependimentos amargos são o pior dessa vida.
Mo Xun / 9º Lorde vai viver para sempre em meu coração! Igual Mei Chang Su (personagem de Hu Ge no dorama Nirvana In Fire). Hu Ge tem o dom de fazer personagens inesquecíveis!!!!
