Mao Fang Yuan

Liu Ling (Crystal Yuan) is a young member of the royal family who has been granted the auspicious title of Princess Chang Le by the Emperor – who has a soft spot for her (and thinks little of her father). She is aged 20, and until now she has lived a pampered and privileged life. She is capricious, impatient, and quite bratty. Even when people lavish gifts upon her, she treats them with disdain. She has a habit of rubbing people up the wrong way and acting impulsively – a fact that has seen her develop many enemies at court. Even the common folk have a habit of spreading malicious – and often totally unfounded – rumors about her.

On her birthday, she decides – on a whim – to travel out of the palace to drink in a private room at an exclusive inn. She drinks herself into a stupor and is sleeping off the alcohol when Shen Yan (Zheng Ye Cheng), a young army commander and an ice-cold martial artist stumbles into her room after having been injured in a sword fight with a notorious bandit. The Princess falls for this wounded warrior and tries to win his heart – although he initially doesn’t seem very impressed with her advances. But, given time, could this unlikely duo strike up a friendship – or an even more unlikely romance?

This drama was based on a web-based novel that was authored by Yi Ren Kui Kui.

Qing Chen (Liu Shi Shi) is a powerful enchantress with remarkable healing abilities. She is a member of an elite group of magicians whose chief role is watching over the imperial family that rules the land.

However, a quirk of destiny means that she is destined to fall in love with one of the imperial princes, Yuan Ling (William Chan).

Qing Chen uses a magic stone to travel back in time to a parallel universe, intent on thwarting her own love plans with Yuan Ling and avoid future catastrophe.

Fu Jiu Yun (Zheng Ye Cheng) is an immortal deity who falls in love with a mortal woman and longs to begin a relationship with her. Although he is very powerful, he finds himself repeatedly unable to win her heart, and instead ends up following her through 1,000 years and 10 different mortal incarnations.

But when she is reborn as a princess, things promise to be different – particularly after an evil-minded prince from a neighboring realm hatches a devious plan with a group of demons. The plot succeeds in wiping out the princess’ family and devastating her realm, but she manages to take on the form of her maid Ah Man (played by Zhao Lu Si) and evades her foes.

Determined to exact revenge on those who wronged her, she allows Fu Jiu Yun to help her, and the duo eventually forms a love bond. But when they discover that destiny dictates that their romance may have an unexpectedly short life, the duo is forced to make difficult decisions that will impact their lives – and those of the princess’ subjects – forever.
