This is not really a series, but more a tv movie, but as it's produced by tvb and it's historical, I thought that it had it's place here, so, here is my review :
From what I understood (the movie was in Cantonese, so, I didn't understand very well...), the story takes place during the Warring States, since I heard the names of Chu Kingdom, Liang Kingdom, Wei Kingdom, Chun Kingdom, Liu Kingdom and maybe other ones that I don't remember of.
If I understood well, Qu Yuan (Adam Cheng) is a minister of the king of Chu Kingdom.
He has a friend (Shek Sau) who is a minister in Chun Kingdom and when this latter comes to see the king and tell him something I didn't understand, Qu Yuan tries to persuade the king to avoid doing what Shek Sau told him.
The king's wife and two ministers who dislike him plot against him because the king likes him and the people appreciate him very much, so, they try to make the king believe that he tries to take the power and the king finally fires him.
Qu Yuan then leaves everything and goes away, but he is attacked by assassins and he is saved by a woman (Liza Wang). Later, there is a war between Chu and Chun kingdoms and the two of them (Adam and Liza) are desperate to see how many dead people there are everywhere.
Then, Shek Sau and his king cheat the Chu Kingdom king in order that he goes to the Chun Kingdom and when he learns about that, and though he was badly treated by the king, Qu Yuan tries to stop him, but the bad ministers and the king's own son don't let him persuade the king that he makes a mistake and the king is finally prisoner in the Chun Kingdom.
Qu Yuan and the woman then try to free him and they almost succeed, but the king is imprudent and they are chased by the guards and the king is badly hurt, and he finally dies.
While Liza Wang lures the guards with the king's clothes, Qu Yuan escapes with the corpse and when they meet again, Liza is badly hurt and she dies and Qu Yuan returns to the Chu Kingdom with the king's corpse.
The queen, the new king (the king's son) and the two ministers accuse Qu Yuan to be responsible for the king's death and he is fired again.
He meets Shek Sau who offers him to become a Chun citizen, but Qu Yuan refuses and tells him that he was born in Chu Kingdom and that he'll die in Chu Kingdom too and Chun soldiers invade Chu Kingdom and kill many people.
Qu Yuan is so desperate that he finally kills himself.
Very good historical movie, with several good fights (but too short) from Liza Wang.
