Synopsis: After a car accident, Zhang Xiao time travels from modern-day China back to the 18th century as 16-year-old Maertai Rouxi, the daughter of a Manchu general, during the Qing Dynasty. She forms deep bonds with the 8th Prince, 4th Prince, and 13th prince resulting in complex relationships.
IMO, the 2016 K-drama version (Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Goryeo) doesn't hold a candle to this Chinese original. Scarlet Heart (aka Startling by Each Step and Bu Bu Jing Xin) was The Untamed before The Untamed. This is a beautiful, heart-wrenching, completely engrossing drama with great acting. The 35 episodes were over before I knew it. I loved it.
