Eeek so many dramas!!
Probably my most anticipated costume drama! The two leads are so cute together. They slay that high-ponytail look perfectly!
Zhu Yu // Chasing Jade (逐玉) is adapted from the novel written by Tuan Zi Lai Xi. The story follows our female lead after she lost her parents. In order to secure her inheritance from the greedy relatives, she takes in a wounded man as husband. She doesn’t know much about him except for his striking good looks. They agree that once everything is settled, they would divorce. However, war breaks out and he’s enlisted. He disappears without a trace. They meet again when he’s injured in a tent. Teary-eyed, she tells him to stop being a soldier and she will continue to support him, taking back their divorce agreement. Turns out, our handsome unknown man is a strict marquis who rules the battlefields ruthlessly. Now he spends his days recuperating in a tent for the wounded, making his soldiers confused. He jumps up when he learns that his “wife” has taken his uniform and went to war in his place! Heeheee, this sounds so sweet! I can’t wait to continue reading it! But please expect deviations from the novel, as always.

Per Qiyi: Su Yishui (played by Deng Wei), a talented young cultivator, had his destiny changed by his master Mu Qingge (played by Xiang Hanzhi) eighteen years ago.

Eighteen years later, Mu Qingge transforms into Xue Ranran (played by Xiang Hanzhi), and Su Yishui, now the head of the West Mountain Sect, takes the critically ill Ranran as his disciple, vowing to protect her for life.
