If you became a fan of Yang Zi from Flourished Peony, I definitely recommend you watch one of her famous shows, Ashes of Love. Of course, the main lead is Yang Zi with two other men. EVERYTHING is amazing in Ashes of Love. The acting, the plot, the scenery, the ost, etc. Everyone's acting in that show was absolutely phenomenal especially Yang Zis. If you're a fan of Yang Zi and her acting skills, go try Ashes of Love.
