As in every emperor, he had the same weakness like having too many concubines, listening to the word of his favourite concubine, Tian Fei, listen to the words of his useless officers and lack of trust for his most loyal officers. Tian Fei accidentally pushed Yu Xian whom knocked her head against the stair and died.Ĭhong zhen was a mad man right from the start of the drama. Love meant Love, why must push her love to her good friend? In the end yu xian also died because she wanted to help changping stole a letter that revealed the plot of the evil concubine,Tian Fei that tried to frame the Empress Chow for the death of Tian Fei's son. Chang ping did not accepted Zhou's love as she was good friends with Yu Xian. Yu Xian loved Shi Xian but Shi xian loved Chang ping. Yu xian was supposed to marry Zhou Shi Xian. In one esp where Changping fall down, yu xian helped her to apply medicine despite knowing her for less than one day. Even if her lies were discovered, she was able to outsmart them by more lies esp to her mother that eventually died because of her. Despite the many lies she told, no one comforted her. She was mainly in this drama to add more highlight to the stupidness of her grandmother, mother and sister. In the final esp, she was in prison, looking like an insane woman. But in the end, she was the last person to die or rather had what she deserve. Princess Chang Ping being the only surviving Ming princess in the Qing ruling was more 'famous'.īut in this drama, Zhao Ren was totally evil - killed her own mother, tried to make her own brother-in-law (Zhou shi xian) like her by lies, took money meant to help in the war, tried to sell information to the Qing. In fact, little was known about Princes Zhao Ren. I am not sure of the real Princess's history but most certainly, Ming did not fall because of her. Princess Zhao Ren was a evil woman that plot against her own father, indirectly leading to the fall of Ming. Because of this, Wu joined force with the Manchu(Qing), opening the gate of the Ming's city, thus allowing the Ming to fall into the Qing soldiers' hand. It was said that both Wu San gui and the enemy, Lee Zhi Cheng fall in love with the same girl, yuan yuan. In real history, Ming fall because of Chen Yuan Yuan. She did nothing to cause Ming dynasty to fall. The red is so sweet but the headgear looked a bit 'over' on Charmaine.Īnnie Man as Chen YuanYuan(Left) and Sonija Kwok as Princess Zhao Ren 昭仁公主（郭羡妮)Ĭhen Yuan Yuan in this drama was a useless character. More pictures of Princess Chang Ping in her wedding custom. Maybe should called 'Lovefool in the name of Love'. I think the title of the drama should also changed as both lovers did not actually perish in the name of love. So much for a fairytale ending in the TVB drama. I found that the real princess married Zhou Xing(should be Zhou Shi Xian other name) but died at the age of 39 from an illness.(The link is all written in Chinese).

I am rather interested in the Real Ming dynasty Chang Ping life story so i did a search. I think the real Princess Changping remained as a nun in her whole life. The final esp showed how they faked death and ended up as normal citizens. In the end when Zhou went to the temple to find her, they were finally together, ending their 6-time seperation. She was made a begger, a worker in a factory and finally a nun. Despite being mistaken for many instances, she was able to overcome those obstacles. Princess ChangPing was a understandable and loyal princess. But if Zhou died, the princess would be a widow, then got no more show to watch. I find it strange that all the other generals died while fighting and Zhou (being inexperienced with war) can still 'tahan' for so long. Meanwhile, he was alway fighting a lose battle against the Qing army.

He and the princess were seperated 6 times before they can finally be together. I find this 2003 production to be long-winded esp the plots where the evil kept on doing evil over and over again till the final esp.Ĭharmaine Sheh as Princess Chang Ping 长平公主（佘诗曼） & Steven Ma as Zhou Shi Xian 周世显（马浚伟） Of course, it is a tradegy drama, all dramas involving wars are tragedy - Like 'War and Beauty' 'Where the legend begins'. I had just finished watching all 32 eps of TVB drama, Perish in the Name of love.
