Overall i have to watch this series with the English Subtitles so there is some parts of the story i probably didn't get. I am learning Chinese but some things have gone over my head.
Over all this Show was one of the best ones I have seen. The cast has one of my favorite actresses in it (Zhao Liying). She is the female lead that plays Achu/Xiang/Jing6.
It starts with Chu Qiao fighting an enemy and falling off a cliff, because she fell into the water she gets a head injury that causes her to lose her memory having no real clue who she is.
She is found and becomes a human target being chased in the middle of a dessert, she is the only slave that survives this hunt.
She is saved by two of the most handsomest men on earth. One is Yan Xun (Shawn Dao) and the other is Yuwen Yue (Kenny Lin). Unbeknownst to her she is made an iron slave in Yuwen Yue's Manor,(his family is actually a enemy of Chu Xiao's family).
There are quite a turn of evens as Jing 6 meets up with her lost siblings (still doesn't really know them or recoginize them. Just in fragments of memories) . She tries her best to stay out of trouble but unfortunately no matter where this girl goes trouble seems to find her.
I do like Yan Xun and the relationship he has with Jing6 (Xiang) when she becomes Yuwen Yue's Silver Bell's Slave. But the relationship between Yuwen Yue and Xiang is my favorite. Yuwen Yue is nicked name Ice, because his demeanor is icy cold. But you can tell he truly loves Xiang and does everything in his power to protect her. Why she stayed with Yan Xun is beyond me. He becomes very dark and brutal (well after what the emperor does to his family who wouldn't be)
I was reading about the end, and it does leave alot of open questions.
It is sad that the end of the show Yuwen Yue is shot in the heart with one of Yan Xun's arrows. He falls into the water and AChu jumps in after him. I assume he dies, and you would think that Achu dies as well but actually the Wintry force that her mother had given her becomes activated and you see her tattooed flower come to life.
She opens her eyes just before the rolling credits, probably making half the world's population think there might be a sequel. To my understanding there is no sequel.
But if you haven't watched this yet, watch it. Even though there is quite alot of violence i love the story line behind it. I actually had a soft spot for Yuwen Yue. If you watch it let me know what you think.
