i dont know anything about Liu Zhi Qin Mo , havent watch the adaptation , i only know that this Six Fingers Devils aka Deadly Melody is based on novel by by Ni Kuang .
for SPW , the timeline is Ming Dynasty , so after Song and Yuan Dynasty.
Poor SPW that has such a cheap, unprofessional and disappointed adaptation SPW deserves more than a horrible series like this and a RPG game with an annoying story like the swordsman It's true that SPW doesn't have as much popularity as the Condor trilogy and DGSD have, but that doesn't mean they think it`s a trash and they can take it and make a shameful series that isn't even worthy for Sword of the Yue Maiden Poor SPW... Poor SPW.........
