Plot:
The Tang Dynasty and Sai-Leung, a neighbouring country maintains an uneasy truce. Fan Lei Fa (Jessica Hsuan) is the daughter of Sai-Leung's General Fan, an important commander who safeguards the border between his country and the Tang Dynasty. A very able fighter and adept at sorcery, Lei Fa is told by her teacher one day that she is destined to marry a man, and together, they can bring peace between the two warring countries. Unwittingly, she finds out that her husband-to-be is actually Sit Ding San (Joe Ma), son of Sit Yan Kwai (Sek Sau), one of Tang's greatest generals and her father's archrival on the battlefield.
Hoping to advert senseless war, Lei Fa leaves home and forces Ding San to marry her and fulfill the prophecy despite the fact that Ding San is highly prejudiced against her people and a stubborn mule who refuses to admit his faults. Consequently, Lei Fa's deed seals her as an uncivilised barbarian in the eyes of the Sit family, and a domestic campaign starts up between Lei Fa and her in-laws who try every means to oust her out of the family.
Lei Fa tries hard to gain their acceptance, beginning with the help of the Tang emperor who favours her because she is the most powerful fighter and sorceress of the era. But just when things are beginning to go well for her, she encounters obstruction in the form of the vengeful Yeung siblings whose parents were killed by Sit Yan Kwai years ago in war. Brother Yeung Fan schemes to wrestle control of the Sai-Leung army from Lei Fa's father, while sister Kam Ding (Kong Chi Nei) attempts to infiltrate the Sit family to acquire military secrets.
Kam Ding soon sinks her claws further into Ding San, forcing him to marry her and works to destroy Lei Fa's hard-earned credibility in the Sit family. Finally, Yeung Fan uses sorcery to orchestrate a battle between Lei Fa and Sit Yan Kwai, leading Ding San into thinking that she has always meant him and his family harm all along. After numerous misunderstandings, Lei Fa finally gives up trying to make her marriage with Ding San work. In despair, she leaves for Sai-Leung, vowing never to return�

I'm currently watching this series right now, but the only reason why I'm watching is because Jessica is in it. I'm not a big fan of ancient series. I'm up to episode 8 now and it's not too bad except I'm getting annoyed at the Sit family for accusing Jessica all the time without a legit reason. But seeing Jessica on the screen makes up for it. =)
