Aarif Rahman

In Ancient China, a young woman (Zhang Xue Ying) wakes with amnesia up after being captured by armed assassins and is told that she is Rong Le, the younger sister of the Emperor of the Western Qi Kingdom. She tries to remember if this is really her true identity, or if she has been tricked. But she is soon told that she must marry Zong Zheng Wu You (Aarif Rahman), a prince of the neighboring kingdom of Northern Lin. If she is successful, the marriage will allow the two kingdoms to forge a powerful alliance.

However, this plan is beset with problems. The woman is certain that there are untold secrets to discover about her true identity, while Zong Zheng Wu You turns out to be intelligent, but extremely sure of himself. He is also tormented by past tragedy and claims to have no interest in romance. The marriage plans fall through, but rather than returning to the Western Qi court, the woman takes up a fake name and ostensibly settles down to open a tea house. However, she is secretly searching for clues that will help her discover who she really is, and unearth evidence about her family. Things get very complicated when Zong Zheng Wu You visits and takes a shine to her – unaware that she is actually the “princess” whose hand in marriage he once turned down…

This drama was based on a novel by the author Mo Yan Shang.

In a time of great unrest, many rely on the strength of the local constables to maintain some semblance of order. Among these men of honor is Wan Yi Zhang (Aarif Rahman), a rookie constable with much more enthusiasm than actual experience. Often hazed by his superiors, Yi Zhang has spent more time chasing imaginary villains than real ones, but when an actual demon begins wreaking havoc in the ancient city of Kaifeng, Yi Zhang is the first on the scene to investigate.

It’s during his hunt for the demon of Kaifeng that Yi Zhang meets a mysterious woman by the name of Metal Dragonfly (Ni Ni). A member of the mysterious Wuyin Clan, Dragonfly does her best to steer clear of Yi Zhang, but when fate intervenes, she has no choice but to introduce him to the rest of the clan. Joining the clan on their quest to find the Dunjia, an orb of infinite power which, in the wrong hands, has the potential to destroy worlds, Zi Zhang soon finds himself becoming an accidental hero.

Facing off against an ancient creature, hellbent on destroying the world, Zi Zhang and the supernaturally powerful members of the Wuyin Clan engage in a fight to the death. Will their combined strength be enough to bring down this monster or will the world fall to chaos and ruin?
