The Ingenious One

The quick-witted Yun Xiang (Chen Xiao) survived a mysterious massacre that devastated an entire clan. He hid for fifteen years, but has now decided to learn the truth about the slaughter and punish those responsible. He enlists a motley crew of allies, including the beautiful but secretive fighter Shu Ya Nan (Mao Xiao Tong), the expert swordsman Jin Shi Liang (Liu Guan Lin), and the peerless martial arts practitioner Su Ming Yu (Tang Xiao Tian) to assist him. But his new allies each have a secret, and as they draw closer to the truth, deadly secrets from the past become known. Will the group help Yun Xiang find the truth he is looking for – or seal his undoing? This 2023 Chinese drama series was based on a novel by Fang Bai Yu and was directed by Patrick Yau.
