Long Gu Fen Xiang (龙骨焚箱) is adapted from the novel written by Wei Yu (same author behind Rattan). Rattan Director will also helm this one! Looks like Jing Tian once again finds herself in a powerful role – she sits on the throne as the leader of Mountain Ghost/Spirit of her people, being molded at a young age by seven powerful women who are referred to as “mothers” of the clan. Hence, our female lead is cold and arrogant, has absolutely no fear. Because she grew up in a relatively peaceful time, she is also… quite… lazy. LOL. If not needed, she prefers to stay indoor (sounds like my kind of girl). But her other mission is to collect the “pearls”. Sorry, unsure how to translate that. During this trip, she’s attacked by an unknown person, whose kung fu is on par with her. Determined to investigate, she’s led off track and meets our male lead. Together, they undergo many challenges and unearth many secrets and dangers.
Song Wei Long strikes again with his 3rd drama of the year (after Everlasting Longing and Youthful Glory)! He’s busy too!

Which drama (s) are you looking forward to?
No boundary (Yu Zhao Ling, 玉昭令) is based on the novel written by Wei Yu. The story follows our heroine who descends into the human realm and sets up her own sect to fight off evil and keep peace. She’s joined by a handsome guard, our hero. Or if you prefer the Qiyi’s summary:
In the Shang Dynasty, King Zhou, the cruel ruler, was replaced by Ji Wu. During the investiture of the Gods, Jiang Ziya gave up on his divine throne. He was willing to be the marquis in the human realm to ensure that his goddaughter, Duanmu Cui (Zhang Yi Shang), could become the immortal. Thousands of years later, in the Song Dynasty, he became Bao Qingtian. At the same time, Duanmu Cui descended to the mortal world and established the Xihualiu Sect. Under Bao Qingtian’s order, fourth-grade-military officer, Zhan Zhao (Darren Chen), was ordered to help Duanmu Cui. After sticking together through thick and thin for several times, love secretly grows between them.
