Zhan Qinghong (Xing Fei) is the daughter of Zhan Podi (Huang Haibing). Zhan Podi has been staying at Zhan's villa up on a mountain away from Wulin. He sends Qinghong to Jun'an to take part of Wulin competition in fighting to be the next director.

From then on, Qinghong meets a number of Wulin martial arts masters and becomes Lin Fang's right handman. The pair go through life and death together. They manage to expose the evil deeds of Prime Minister Wang Dun (Kent Tong).

My View

TMBFY is better than The Love Lasts Two Minds 两世欢. Probably because I'm a Wuxia fan and Yu Menglong just melts my heart with his coldness and smiles.. everything.

One touching part is when the villians Zhong Buming (Chunyu Shanshan) and Feng Bufei (Yan Su) trying to save each other from being killed by Wang Dun.

Also Princess Huayao (Ma Yue) who dies along with her husband Wen You (Yalkun Merxat) when she finds out about his death.

Rating

4/5 Stars
