Synopsis: Lin Wei Ling (Xu Lu), had a crushing childhood: she lost her mother very young and lives with her father in a big, empty house, with servants. She usually dresses like a boy just to play with the other boys in her neighborhood. But after they learn of her gender – they no longer allow her into their group. Even though she’s treated like a pearl in her father’s hand, he works days and nights. Then one day, after waiting endlessly for him to show up at the parents’ meeting, she fumes and heads to his company. Just seconds before entering the revolving door, a thud pulls her attention back. Lying bloody on the hood of her family’s car is a man all too familiar. Blood pools and encircles around him, his eyes never leaving her face, as if staring straight into her innocent soul.

The tragedy takes away her father and her ability to talk. She’s left to be taken care by her father’s “friend”. He lives with his wife, a woman with a beautiful smile, and their young son, Hu Qian Yu (Wilber Pan). (credits to Soompi)

Reason to Watch: I love Xu Lu after watching her in The Legend of Zhen Huan and The Wife's Lies so I am definitely going to watch this. I also want to watch this for the bromance!

6. Princess Wei Yang

She suffers many hardships but eventually utilises her wisdom and sense of justice to become a powerful woman as well as gaining a beautiful romance. (credit to Soompi)

Reason to Watch: I like the actors more than the lead actress - her Mary Sue character doesn't make the plot sounds appealing and especially since it's butchered to the point of not correctly representing the character from the novel it is adapted from. But I will give it a try since I do like Luo Jin and Vanness!
