Lol nobody responded but I found the drama if anyone happens to also know what I'm talking about and wondering as well. I literally found the main actress when I was scrolling through The Legend of Fei page AGAIN (while waiting for it to come out) and looked through the pictures and one of the cast, Michelle Dong, looked very familiar; so I went to her profile to check and see what dramas she's been in and I found it!
The drama I was looking for is called Snowflower (2003). It was initially extremely hard finding any leads to the drama because I could barely remember anything since it had been a long time since I saw the drama and remembered very fragmented details of it. I had only vaguely remembered the face of the female lead, which led me to sense a feeling of familiarity with Michelle. Glad to see Michelle is still in the industry and in a [highly] potential hit drama, The Legend of Fei, despite the fact I have not seen her around since seeing Snowflower.
