Short Wuxia drama Remnants of Gold with Xin Zhi Lei, Yin Fang, and Chen Kun

Remnants of Gold (金色) is adapted from the novel Da Di Fei Ying (大地飞鹰) written by Gu Long. It is slotted for 12 episodes. TVB did a loose adaptation back in 1992 with Francis Ng and Kitty Lai but I don’t remember much except for Francis’ bad canopy bangs. Lol.

The story surrounds the mysterious appearance of 300,000 taels of gold in the middle of desert, igniting a storm among many factions to obtain the huge amount of money. Words on the streets say that anyone coveting the gold will become a vengeful ghost consumed by madness.  In the midst of chaos, our female lead returns to the desert seeking for revenge, now armed with a body immune to all poisons after the slaughter of her family.

Ao Rui Peng does not want to Pull Strings but every move turns out momentous anyway in new xianxia drama

Pull Strings (师兄太稳健) is adapted from the novel My Senior Brother Is Too Steady written by Yan Gui Zheng Zhuan.

Synopsis Per Youku: Li Changshou, a terminally ill patient in his previous life, is reborn into the Primordial World as a low-level Qi cultivator who cherishes life and avoids all karmic entanglements. Determined to dodge the great calamity foretold by the Heavenly Dao, he adopts the “Way of Steady” — his ultimate goal being to secure a humble post in the Heavenly Court and survive quietly. He operates with extreme caution: when still, he’s as steady as an old dog; when he moves, he shakes the heavens. He firmly believes the era of bloodshed is over — better to trick than to kill, better to stay single than to fall in love. Yet enemies and beauties keep surging toward him like tides. Before he knows it, he becomes a mastermind pulling strings behind the scenes, entangled in power plays among multiple factions, orchestrating the “Dragon Clan’s ascent to Heaven” — and even the great calamity itself accelerates toward him…
