This drama was a good watch. I can't say Yu Meng Long did a great job, lol he is still pretty much stone faced in this one too. ( that's his character lol ) . It ws worth watching for the female lead actress Xing fei.

Female lead- is the daughter of the Zhan family. She wants to explore the world of wu lin and makes her journey to be make Wu lin righteous again. She meets the male lead who is the most handsome guy in the region/area. They form a friendship. I like the female lead because she is quirky, kind, adventurous. Male lead's character is smart, collective, calm and cold. His personality is kinda boring because he doesn't have any martial arts ability, due to him having this sickness.

The story starts with the female lead falling in love with the second male lead. Because they both have martial art abilities. He is able to save her time and time again, when they are faced with danger and trying to find the Wu lin master badge. Initially i though i got the wrong male lead lol but later on there are rifts between the female and second male lead's relationship( which i can say is pretty cliche) All at the same the the male lead played by Yu meng long has developed a crush for the female lead but never said it out loud because of his sickness/ being poisoned. When ever he gets too emotional the poison in his system will triggers him to cough/ heart hurts. If that happens too much he will eventually die. In the mean time evil people are after the Zhan family because they hold the manuscript to the powerful martial art , called the seven swords. The evil person is trying to learn that power to become the strongest.

In a search for the the seven swords manuscript, forces the leads to jump off the cliff. At that point the female lead already had her arm/leg veins and ligament torn, which means she would be able to learn other martial arts again. They wake up to find that she has been cured and is introduced to this weird old dude. He helps them recover and completely get rids of the poison in the male lead's system. Female lead relearns the seven swords martial arts and becomes good at it. The main goal was to fight the evil dude.

This drama was martial arts focused but had cute and funny moments. Like all of the characters basically had romantic developments/ other half. The maid of the the female lead is funny. She is always so clumsy and wants to help the female lead but ends up tripping.

Romance- there is not to much chemistry between the two leads initially. When they spent more time which each other the relationship seemed more believe-able. Their kissing is not too passionate, but becomes better later on.
