Novoland: Pearl Eclipse (九州·斛珠夫人) is adapted from the novel written by Xiao Ru Qin and stars Yang Mi and William Chan. The novel is a bit creepy since he is much older than her, took her in and raised her, then they develop feelings for each other. Plus, he’s a powerful eunuch. BAH. I’m sure the drama will change that up. Lol. Anyway, in the drama she plays daughter of the merfolks and her entire village and people are slaughtered due to the people’s obsession with pearls and pearls were created from merfolk’s tears. During this uncertain period, our heroine is taken in by the hero who is a powerful official of the imperial court, and she disguises as a male disciple by his side. After they return to the capital, the job of guarding the King is given to her. And he’s the third leg of this love triangle. The King has long given up on his court, exhausted by the internal and external turmoils, therefore he sits back and watches our male lead’s struggle to save the country. When he finds out his pretty guard is a girl, his feelings complicate everything.

Is he an actual eunuch?
yes. I read the novel a while back. but that won’t be the case in the drama… lol
There’s a genre for this type of story where the male lead raises the female lead: 養成系
I typically run the other way when I see this trope. I’m hoping they change this in the drama…

Polaris, do you see me waving you at the end of the tunnel? It’s a long one. Lol.
Wait for me, Kappy. I need to get away from these stories!
Lol its not my fav trope..but I would confess to have read these novels as well.
I didn’t realize how abundant these stories are…and now they are on the small screens!
Didn’t there’s a genre! Ever Night, sadly, came to me first (but they’re actually grew up together since Ning Que was 5 years old when he took baby Sang Sang). And you know what’s second? Hua Qian Gu :D.
Yes, I kept seeing these types of stories pop up and wondered if there was an actual name of this genre. Of course there is one, not sure why I even wondered lol.
Ah, that’s right, there’s Hua Qian Gu…
Hmmm… Seems interesting. Let’s wait unroll it get aired. I wonder will it be good? Hope William won’t be eunuch here. Otherwise I will avoid the drama. Lol
Cant wait for the return of Queen Yang Mi, I am highly anticipating it. William so very handsome!!!!
