步步惊心

Now now... let me further intro the Drama, 步步惊心 aka Startling by Each Step...



Storyline :
Zhang Xiao, a contemporary, ethnically Han Chinese young woman from the 21st century, accidentally travels back in time to the Qing Dynasty during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor after experiencing a deadly combination of traffic collision and electrocution. This results in her reliving the life of one of her previous avatars - Ma'ertai Ruoxi, the teenage daughter of a Manchu nobleman who also had a near fatal accident in her own time zone.
Zhang Xiao becomes stranded in the past in the body of an earlier incarnation of herself. Many of Ma'ertai's family members and friends believe that the sudden change in her behaviour and her memory loss are due to the head injury suffered by "Ma'ertai". Zhang Xiao is aware that there will be a power struggle between the Kangxi Emperor's sons, which will eventually result in Prince Yinzhen succeeding to the throne as the Yongzheng Emperor. Zhang Xiao attempts to change the outcomes for the better and prevent bloodshed without interfering in man's destiny, while concurrently seeking a way to return to her own time. However, Zhang Xiao ultimately realises that not only did she fail to alter the course of the approaching events, but also, under a predestination paradox, she is fated to become an instigator of the tragedy she has been trying to prevent from happening. This is a consequence of her actions in the past, as well as the princes' romantic affections towards her.

Now now... why I love this drama so much?? You all got to watch it den you know la..
Anyway.. Wu Qi Long is the Prince Yin Zhen aka Si Ye aka the future Yong Zheng...
Its more like he is fighting for the throne for his lovly Rou Xi and 13th Brother rather than what history stated.. and his cold romance towards Rou Xi to how he able to show his warm side to her at the last few eps moved me... but the ending is a big... WOOHOO!!! pls stand by tissue la ok... in between the drama, you also have to stand by tissues as well.. its gg to be.... haha
