Based on Feng Nong’s 风弄 novel A Lonesome Fragrance Waiting To Be Appreciated, General and I 孤芳不自赏 tells the story of a brilliant warrior who has never lost a battle and his muse, a woman of unparalleled intelligence earning the title female Zhu Ge (a genius strategist during the Three Kingdoms era).
Sadly, the star-crossed lovers’ disparate positions put them at odds with each other at a time when the four warring states of Jin, Yan, Liang and Qin are in constant turmoil.
The cast is led by Wallace Chung, Angelababy, Sun Yi Zhou, Gan Ting Ting, Yu Bo, Qi Hang and Mai Di Na (Ice Fantasy). I have always liked Wallace Chung since his younger days and call me impressed that he is still snagging commendable roles at the age of 41. Angelababy plays his love interest though I hope it’s not a repeat of Song in the Clouds, which despite the hype fell very flat.
Release Date: Jan 2, 2017 on Hunan TV (eng subs on Dramafever)

I hope the adaptation is as good as the novel. I know they made some changes with the storyline for the drama but I'm crossing my fingers that it won't ruin the novel.

This Chinese Historical has an end that we like. All the main characters we cared the most about survived. Well done writers.
As she was falling to her death after she pushed He Xia off the high platform. He (He Xia) threw her back up to the platform and Chu Beijie caught her. It was a miraculous, freakish stunt. She is only tiny so we can believe it could happen. The end was much better than I hoped for but it would have been better if we had seen a reunion of the family and friends at Plum Orchard. That means congratulations writers you made us viewers feel pretty happy after that 62 episode marathon watch. It was all worth while
