When facing taxation issues, it's very hard to recover. It's unfortunate for all the other actors, crew members who worked hard on this project. It's also unfortunate for us, the viewers.
I hope to see a mature FL, not someone with a childish demeanor and voice. I wonder if the delay is related to the court case with ZRY father. Did his father produce it? If so, being in the main role, does it have delayed consequences? I hope not. This drama looks really good!
Found this on novel updates https://www.novelupdatesforum.com/threads/swords-and-love-%E6%B2%89%E9%B1%BC%E8%AE%B0-by-%E5%AE%81%E9%A6%A8%E5%84%BF.145688/I…
My translation from it
Qing Qing, a girl from the Yue kingdom, breaks into the Wu Palace to retrieve her father's belongings. Jianlu steals the sword, shocking the whole palace. Qing Qing then meets Sun Wu's descendants and also meets her long-lost acquaintance from the Yue kingdom, Xi Shi, who accidentally gets involved in the open and secret struggle between the states of Wu and Yue and becomes an accomplice in murdering the great Sun Wu.
Qing Qing inherited a secret technique from a great dying soldier and returned to the country of Yue, but became the target of the countries trying to get her or assassinate her. To respect her father's last wish, Qing Qing, convinced by Fan Li, began teaching swordsmanship to Yue Kingdom warriors. However, with a soldier's accidental death, another secret is found...
Gou Jian has been training diligently for ten years. How could he not become a skilled swordsman? Did three thousand Yue warriors really invade Gusu? How many of these stories are exaggerations or lies? During the Spring and Autumn Period, how many conspiracies were plotted by the masters and their numerous disciples across one hundred and twenty-six cities in ten different countries?
I don’t understand the synopsis. The translation makes no sense. I rephrased it. If you have a better version, please share!
For centuries, the war has persisted. This is an era of heroes and famous generals, assassins and beautiful women, conspiracy and espionage. A strong man values his promise, but a king despises life and death. Beauty is a source of disaster, and white hair elders tell a long story. A smile can captivate a city, and a word can destroy a country.
Fu Cha once held dominion, but everything turned around. Xi Shi endured humiliation for ten years and looked back with clouds. Qingqing, a Yue girl, infiltrated the Wu Palace to retrieve her father's relics. The sword was stolen from the Jianlu, and the Wu palace was shaken. Qingqing encountered the descendant of Sun Wu and also saw the long-lost Yue girl Xishi. She was involuntarily drawn into the overt and covert conflicts between Wu and Yue and witnessed the tragedy of the assassin, the helplessness of the guest, the shamelessness of the counsellor and the unrighteousness of the king
yes. in fact he cheated and married few I think. I jumped on episodes here and there.
the last image is him alone watching the horizon on top of a hill on his horse. But I am not 100% sure he has an empress next to him after her departure.
It looks like S1 is very light and S2 very dark. that's my impression but since I did not watch the full drama, I may be biased here.
sidenote: I am not a big fan of Allen though lolll
Wow, your summary is great. I have read all of them. No wonder you don't enjoy the drama as much.Thanks for the…
yes. Ye Liuyun showed up out of the blue the last 2 minutes of the epilogue. (definitely NOT in the novel lollll)
Regarding the good character... I may be wrong. The major issue I have with the novel is the translation at times. Names are mixed up a lot. I re-read a part and it seems that the good character was in jail for a couple of years and once free, he joined Fan Xian in his exile too.
To be honest, I loved chapters 1 2 3 4 and 5... not much 6 (for me it was a bit too long)... and 7 was definitely the more teary (Thanks Gawd I was alone crying like a baby at one scene).
Regarding the author, Mao Ni, many times reading the novel I thought he was a misogynic and homophobic.

I also rephrased it
It's quite amusing to see how one synopsis places the female lead at the center of the story, while the other shifts the focus to the male lead.
Which female actress do you think could match the charismatic strong personality of the male lead, so she won't be overshadowed by him?
