Wang Xing Yue has picked another synopsis not too far from his role in Scent of Time (as Zhong Xie Wu) a character who's attracted to someone else's wife. He's good in that character, powerful and noble, reserved & upright, but not challenging enough to bring out his best talent. Hope in his future project, he won't again taking in this kind of role. Okey, the story is about the most talented well-educated girl Xue Fang Fei (Wu Jin Yan) who took the identity of second miss Prime Minister Jiang Li in abandonment of 10 years seclusion in women's sect monastery.

Xue Fang Fei was the wife of a talented poor scholar Shen Yu Rong, because of his well manner and handsome face - a cruel grand Princess attracted to him and wanted him for herself. His ambitious mother and greedy sister insisted him to get rid of the wife Xue Fang Fei with accusation of infidelity and adultery in exchange of high position in the palace as trusted official ministry. With regret he dragged his wife to the wood and killed her, he believed his wife Xue Fang Fei dead and buried 6 feet under. He didn't know that she survive the killing - dug out her own grave and happened to meet Jiang Li - the abandon Prime Minister daughter and gave her a helping hand. On the way out to help Xue Fang Fei, Jiang Li got caught by the monastery and punished till she died. Before she died though she tell her story about her background and hopes to Xue Fang Fei. With no way out in her own personal life, she decided to take in Jiang Li identity and bring her out of situation; go back to the capital, claim Jiang Li's identity as respectable second miss and fullfil Jiang Li's wish to reality, she also wanted to get her revenge. She met Xiao Heng/Duke Su (Wang Xing Yue) while he's chasing after a criminal, with her intelligent to manipulate situation to get her home. Duke Su suspicious about her, he has seen her as Xue Fang Fei not as her claim as Jiang Li.

Too much dramatization of scenes that are not necessary (wind blowing exaggerate slow motion scenes or when she played music GuQin), jealous hideous women, acting is 7 the most to all of them. I mean I've seen Wang Xing Yue's same acting to similar personalities in his previous dramas (Scent of Time as Zhong Xie Wu, One & Only as Liu Zi Xing, Story of Kunning Palace as Zhang Zhe). Wu Jin Yan is ordinarily gloomy & blank eyes. The story has potential if they cast someone else other than Wang Xie Yue, he's good but he should act in different character & story line. Actually the one that acting good is the jealous step-mother and cruel princess, just too bad their characters are despicable, that I just hate them but that's make them good actors. Face beauty accessory with pearls is like Trypophobia skin disease?? Not pretty as it intended to be. It's a watchable drama....
