Gu yun yuan (Zhào hóng fēi)- mysterious man who is part of the court/ministers. Repeatedly asks for feng du ying's hand in marriage..... Which results in his constant demotion. However his working skills and character is good and thus earns him lots of promotions. But with every promotion. He asks for feng du ying's hand in marriage which infuriates big bro and the the rest...and causes his instant demotion....but he does not care.
Bei xuan ji (Cecilia Liu) - princess of bei hai country....country fell and ceases to exist coz her silly father overrated his skills and tries to fight and take over da dong. Hence causing the downfall of his country. He flees the country with his youngest son.
Du kang (huang xiao ming) - feng du ying's most loyal and trusted body guard....inseparable. Follows her every where like a shadow. I personally think he loves feng du ying as well.
Think these are just about the major characters of the book.
Qīng rǎn gōngzǐ/fēng qīng rǎn - wallace chung
Yù yán tiān - Wallace Huo
běi yì hè - Peter Ho
běi yì yè - Yan Kun
At this point..the world is already in peaceful times under the rule of dong shi xiu. The 7 siblings all hold the major posts I the court, which ires the rest of the court especially the Liang clan. Thus as expected..minister Liang is wrecking his brains to trash these 7 so he can hold utmost power.....
At the same time...there is still some minor fighting going on which requires that feng du ying still fights.
Becauses of greed, meng guo and bei guo decided to ally themselves in marriage and make a pact to fight da dong. However because of internal strife, on the day tat the two countries were to fight da dong, only bei guo shows up..... And dong shi xiu and feng du ying go out to fight....they manage to win the fight...till they reached bei guo's capital.....
Da dong gives bei guo a choice of fight or surrender....at this point... Bei guo's princess bei xuan ji, who is renowned for her extreme beauty, tell her father to flee with her youngest brother....and to make a comeback and fight again. So they decide to surrender.....and one the day of the country's surrender, bei xuan ji decided to jump off the wall but was saved by dong shi xiu., who makes the silly and fatal mistake of taking her back as a concubines. And a most beloved one as well.
Anyways...feng du yin realizes that the fake death of bei guo's king was to coincidental and thus realizes that they have been tricked, so she chases after them......only to have them flee out to sea. Not trained in sea battle, feng du ying still decides to go after them coz her take is that if they don't kill him, there will be future problems. Unfortunately, the seas and skies do not cooperate, and in order to save her men, feng du ying got injured and fell into the water. However she orders tat no one is allowed to jump to save her. Just at this point, a mysterious man comes riding on a boat, pulled by 4 dolphins...the soldiers take it that he is the sea deity and pleads with him to save their beloved general. He does save her, but due to the raging seas and wind, they were. Of able to retrieve feng du ying, and they disappear into the storm, while the rest of the men were forced to return to land. The bei king escapes.
To find feng du ying , dong shi xiu moves the entire nation, putting her face up and sending soldiers to find her....ultimately they do find her, but this cause is used by minister Liang as a reason to censure dong shi xiu as an unwise ruler.
Later feng du ying returns to the capital and is hailed as a hero, but minister Liang and his gang wants to impeach her for endangering the lives of the men and losing the bei king.
Just at this point, feng ji raises the issue of 500 missing soldiers in luo country...and feng du ying is sent to quell this problem...unfortunately, this causes a unwarranted and totally uncalled for massacare of the luo tribe....reason is that this mysterious luo tribe is ruled by jiu Miao. And these people are cut off from the rest of the world. The country is atop the mountain and protected by magic. Who ever goes in never comes out, including the 500 soldiers. So feng du ying goes in, but she senses the weird environment and only allows herself and du kang to enter, with the rule that no one is allowed in. And if for any reason, they do not make it out by nightfall, to inform the rest if the brothers.
So our 7 brothers gets panicky and they charge for luo country, with feng ji leading. By this time. Feng du ying and du kang have been lost for 10 days. (by the way, the forest is shrouded in magical powers to protect them).
No surprise, the person who saves her for the sea is also the prince of this country... And well, this prince asks his brother to lift the magical spell so that he can find these 2 lost people, who at this point, he does not know who they are. And because of the lifting of the spell, feng ji manages to charge thru and thinking that his beloved feng du ying is dead, he also annihilates the entire luo country....just at this point, feng du ying the luo Yao return to the top, coz they realized that da dong troops are headed up there..but they are too late, coz just as they reached, they saw the destruction....and luo Yao is shot in the chest by 8 bro....but feng du ying saves him with a magic pill that feng ji gave him...and she stunned everyone by saying that jiu Yao has saved her twice and she cant repay, and with the destruction of his country, she can only repay by marrying him.
This stunnes everyone....But they leave with a badly injured jiu Yao in tow back to the capital. This creates fuel for minister Liang and his cronies. So in a bid to save his siblings, first he kills all the evil ministers and their families, and he splits up the country into 7 states and splits the siblings to rule each state. (I personally dunt understand this part and why he had to do it)
So anyway..the story goes....lovers feng du ying and feng ji never got together....but she ends up marrying jiu Yao....and the story goes....the ending of the prelude is that the fatal mistake of bring princess bei ju xuan back as the beloved concubine is that she betrays dong shi xius 17 years of love by collaborating with luo country's king to assassinate the 8....which had sad consequences.....
So well....Tats the gist :)
Peanuts.....now can I pls have my other half of the story....hahahahahah :p
Ooppss….I gave a summary instead…. :p spoilers spoilers…..read with extreme caution.
Thank you very much to Pm for listing the major characters as well as summarising the story with spoilers. I found a very good fan-made MV which summarise the story very well. So many handsome guys to drool at, lol. Hey Lidge, your fav, a young Louis Koo has a leading role in the MV so make sure you watch it. Hey Pm, pls can you list who is who in the MV. I can guess the 8 of them plus Louis Koo but not the rest eg Wallace Chung, Peter Ho etc.
Since I've read Who Gets the World, I sort of know the story of the prequel but not in details. After reading Pm's comments and watching the MV, I have a better understanding of WGTW now which before that sound a bit confusing. I feel WGTW is the better book but this book is also very epic. I think I wanna read the spin-off next week. This author is very good in writing wuxia books with many attractive guys, lol.
Wow....wow....Pm, I'm so impressed. You've moved on....lol....reading such high flying books!!!!
Hehe....Xinn...I was rather curious why everyone kept talking abt the book...so I tried to read it....abit difficult to understand some parts tho....yes yes....I'm trying to improve my deplorable Chinese..
Most welcome peanuts...hehe..ive earned my keeps...now I wun feel bad finding all the broken and missing links...hahaha :p
I'm now reading the actual wgtw...which I ink is easier to read than the prequel...I took almost a week to finish tat one....hope this one is faster...but I'm already sad....so fast and one handsome yan ying Zhou is dead?? He it's just a suspense corner....
I get seem to get the mv to run well…it plays abt 51 secs..than stalls been trying a couple of times…dunno if it’s coz traffic is high..
Managed to watch abit....it's stalled again so here I am....sorry..can't help you on this one...I have no idea who the actors are :( only one I recognize is the guy who acted in bbjx...13th prince..whatever his name is
But feng du ying is ugly..so is 4th bro and jiu Yao.....Sheeze..a fry cry for what I imagined the, to be........
Pm, I am so proud of you to have graduated to reading so-called classic novels. I hope it is bcos of my positive influence in your life, lol. I am glad that you like the books written by this author. Don't u think she is sort of like Jin Yong but fr the woman's point of view so instead of having all the pretty girls, we get all the handsome guys, lol?
You are free to give spoilers in the book bar but out of courtesy for the minority who might not want to know, pls write spoiler b4 you divulge eveything so they know when to stop reading. I am going to give you a spoiler now, lol. Yan Ying Zhou didn't die at the beginning but will die later. If I tell you who killed him, you'll be shocked so I'll leave it to you to find out for yourself:P
Feng Du Ying is Brigitte Lin who to most is considered a beauty. I thnk Jiu Yao is Louis Koo in Against the Blade of Honour which is Lidge fav. She gonna throw tomatoes at you soon for saying her idol is ugly, lol. 4th brother is Leslie Cheung !! U think he is ugly? Oh pm, u need specs:P !!!!! Ok, I'll try to watch again & put the actor names in your character list.
I've checked that Lan Yin Bi Yue's link is correct. Hat off to you for being able to read & finish the wrong book, lol. Hey, is the title of this book translated correctly bcos I don't know how to translate book titles most of the time:(?
Thanks thanks :p. eh..who is Jin yong? But yes..I like this writers stories...quite interesting..
Let me guess...only 3 possibilities.... Hfx, the little Han pu er or Hfx herself....one r the ther...writers love to make us feel these horrid heart wrenching moments......ooohhh...I can't stand heart break moments... :(
Sorry lidge...but I really dun fancy him?.somehow..my pictured jiu Yao is more like well....hhmmm handsome, cute, boyish but masculine....that guy does not cut it.....sorry.....who is Leslie Chung?
I only think Godfrey Gao is well..hot for now...and only in remembering Li chuan..,..coz I goggled to see some pictures....and nope...he does not look good anywhere else...wat a let down...hahaha :(
Hahaha..tell me abt reading the wrong book...I was so caught up in the story..waiting to read abt bfx and Hfx...but nope....but the story was good..so well... Not upset..haha
I think it's more like feng ying arriving from the sky......coz in the book, they kept comparing feng du ying to a feng huang.....in fact her pet name is feng huang er which literally means Phoenix..... So maybe it's like saying Phoenix coming/appearing from the sky. Sometimes it's hard todo a direct translation....sorry....not too good at it either.
