Now known as Immortal Samsara, the xianxia romance revolves around the love story between a descendant of the four-leaf lotus (Yang Zi) and immortal Yingyuan (Cheng Yi). [Extended Synopsis]
The Promise of Chang’an 长安诺 stars Zhao Yingzi (Spy Hunter), Cheng Yi (Noble Aspirations) and Han Dong (Beauties in the Closet) in a love triangle spanning decades, and follows the heroine’s journey from the daughter of a respected tribal leader to the empress dowager of a kingdom.
Hero’s Dream 天意之秦天宝鉴 is based on Qian Lifang’s sci-fi novel of the same name, and stars Ou Hao as a young Han Xin, who is swept up in the Chu-Han contention towards the end of the Qin Dynasty.
Tang Yixin (The Advisors Alliance) plays Dong’ge, the most beautiful woman in the Jurchen tribes who gets involved in a love triangle with Nurhaci and his sons. She’ll fall in love with Daishan, played by Zhang Rui, and then his younger brother Huang Taiji (who was actually still a kid at this point in the original novel), played by Raymond Lam, and also gets caught up in a dangerous game of politics.

It’s been so long since I can remember a RPG converted successfully into a drama in a way that pleased me.
I found a couple random Chinese Paladin 5: Clouds of the World stills that we must have somehow missed… so until we find a way to raid Tangren’s back photo closet, here they are, featuring Zhang Rui, Guo Zhenni, Ye Qing, and Wu Jianfei. hooray for more costumes to look at… and “ethnic” ones that don’t look too misplaced or badly done…
