"Don't forget, last year when 'Romance of the Jade Bow' was filmed, many people mocked the production for being ill-fated. But look what happened – the series became a massive hit after its release, and Jiang Ling, riding on the role of Li Shengnan, returned to the top tier!"
"Guan Suyin actually has some filming skills. Don't rush to mock her, lest your faces get swollen later!"
"Even so, this drama is just too unlucky. Before filming officially began, it already lost two heavyweight male artists. It's practically possessed by a plague god!"
Sometimes, infamous fame is still fame!
Guan Suyin never expected that the drama she was filming would attract so much attention precisely because it appeared to be so ill-fated.
With two top-tier male artists gone, the gossips were eager to see who would be the next unlucky one.
Now that the person in question was Jiang Yulei, and considering he had previously filmed such a terrible and eye-searing production with Jiang Ling, many naturally wanted to voice their criticisms.
While the outside world buzzed with discussions, the crew remained remarkably quiet.
After the commencement press conference, the cast and crew of the production, after a simple ceremony, officially entered the filming phase.
The synopsis of 'The Swordsmen of Heaven' was also quite straightforward.
It tells the story of Qin Shi Huang, who, after unifying the six states, had a dream one day that his Qin Empire would fall after only two generations. To change the destiny of the nation, he had to forge the Heavenly Sword and, with its power, alter the course of the universe.
Qin Shi Huang believed this implicitly and immediately issued an urgent imperial decree, summoning five of the most skilled masters of the time to jointly forge an unparalleled Heavenly Sword.
However, on the day the Heavenly Sword was completed, the day of Qin Shi Huang's death, along with his demise, the Heavenly Sword also vanished without a trace.
Not long after, rumors spread that 'whoever possesses the Heavenly Sword shall possess the empire.' But to obtain the Heavenly Sword, one must first acquire the Five Seals.
The so-called Five Seals were a wine goblet inscribed with a map. The goblet was shattered into five pieces, and only by assembling them could the underground palace be opened to retrieve the Heavenly Sword.
For centuries, the martial world engaged in rounds of contention and vendettas for the Five Seals of the Heavenly Sword.
The female protagonist, Tang Ruoxuan, belonged to the Tang family, one of the holders of the Five Seals of the Heavenly Sword.
An innocent man is guilty when he possesses a treasure. The Blood Moon Divine Cult, in their pursuit of the Five Seals of the Heavenly Sword, massacred the entire Tang family on Tang Ruoxuan's birthday. Only Tang Ruoxuan, carrying the Five Seals, managed to escape.
The Blood Moon Divine Cult relentlessly pursued her. In a moment of life and death, the male protagonist, Xiao Ting, nicknamed 'The Scholar of Sword and Pen,' intervened to save her, thus forging a fated, albeit tumultuous, connection between them.
Seeing Tang Ruoxuan's orphaned state, Xiao Ting, driven by chivalry, escorted her. Despite being blind, his martial arts were exceptionally profound. He was handsome, possessed white hair and blue eyes, and was skilled in the art of wooing, quickly winning Tang Ruoxuan's heart.
However, Tang Ruoxuan never imagined that Xiao Ting was merely an alias. His true identity was Abhiraja, the leader of the Blood Moon Divine Cult, and the very culprit behind the massacre of her family.
Subsequently, after enduring numerous arduous trials, the male and female protagonists eventually gathered the Five Seals, opened the underground palace, and brought forth the Heavenly Sword, hidden for centuries.
Upon obtaining the Heavenly Sword, Xiao Ting ceased his pretense and openly admitted to being the leader of the Blood Moon Divine Cult. The others found it unacceptable, and Tang Ruoxuan was on the verge of collapse.
Following this, a battle between good and evil erupted. The second male lead, Gu Hanyang, engaged Xiao Ting in combat but was no match for Xiao Ting wielding the Heavenly Sword. Facing imminent death,
Tang Ruoxuan and the second female lead, Huang Xiang, rushed forward to shield him. Tang Ruoxuan pushed Huang Xiang aside and deliberately met the sword's edge, her body pierced by the Heavenly Sword, leaving her on the brink of death.
