Hidden Gem in Short drama

I actually watched this drama last November and rewatch this again for better review.

FL is naturally resolute, kind, and highly skilled in martial arts. However, in an era that treats women as worthless, she is trapped as a slave in the home of a local wealthy man. I quite like Wang Gege in this drama she is perfect for this role.

Female power is perfectly embodied. The women in the play initially chose to bow down and compromise and trample their self-esteem underfoot because of the shackles of the era they lived in. However, after being encouraged by FL's perseverance, they chose to take up arms to fight for themselves and their country. Nice!

Plot is about FL is framed for treason due to her sister's jealousy and conspiracy, After her home is affected by the Japanese pirate invasion, she leads the female slaves in her household and the women of the village to take up arms to defend their homeland, relying on three hairpins symbolizing kinship and vows.

ML is carefree person in surface but is actually a funder for a civilian anti-Japanese pirate organization, constantly using his own strength to fight the enemy. I quite like Cai Xin Yang in this drama although the costume was quite simple it embodies his character well. I love this drama since they make our lead to become platonic combo that have one vision without adding romance.

Hopefully, screenwriters in Chinese short drama can gather information on cultural heritage and create a powerful female ensemble drama without focusing on romance.

Recommended to watch.
