click to show/hide spoilersIt's not a martial arts series, but there are definitely elements of Jiang Hu in it. The story starts off at the end of the Qing dynasty, when chivalrous hero Cheng Meng Fei falls in love with Lin Yi, who turns out to be the daughter of a rival family. Their ill-fated union results in Cheng Meng Fei's imprisonment, and Lin Yi ends up marrying rich businessman Qi De Shi while pregnant with Cheng Meng Fei's child. Ten months later, Qi Tian Bai (Wallace!) is born. After the establishment of Ming Guo, Qi De Shi's overbearing ways arouses displeasure from government officials, who order the killing of his entire family. The assassin turns out to be none other than the recently released Cheng Meng Fei. From here, further woes stemming from the extremes of love and hatred, revenge and redemption, and life and death unfold. In the end, the three men come to realize that love and forgiveness are the real truths in life.
If the synopsis is any indication, any kind of love story would seem to be secondary to the relationship between father and son. But anyway, Xu Xi Yan (徐熙颜) will be the lucky girl playing Wallace's main love interest. I also read that Xiao Qiang will be playing two characters?
