Rescuing your loved one from beheading - oddly appropriate on Valentine's Day

[dangermousie]

I was clicking around my Terracotta Warrior eps to see they dled correctly, and guess what I found in ep 11.



If you guessed "Mousie's new fictional boyfriend", then you guessed correctly. Any gentleman who rescues the heroine from death twice within ten minutes of running time, fighting garroters, facing down evil eunuchs and stopping public executions, is definitely to Mousie's taste. The armor, cape, and hairstyle are pleasing additions.





Mind you, I have no clue of the context because not only do I not speak Mandarin, this is ep 11 and I've only watched first ep. But whatever. I ca deduce she is a court lady and her fellow court lady has gone missing and while looking for her she is attacked and General rescues her. I didn't capture the cool fight because they move too fast. Why couldn't they move in slow motion? :P












Safe! Only one problem. On coming back to the palace, she's accused of the murder of that woman. It's clear that Qin Emperor isn't around at the moment and she really pissed off Zhao Gao somehow. Ergo. Nothing good. She gets dragged off to jail.








And is about to be beheaded, of which fact one of his underlings informs our hero.






Meanwhile she's being dragged to a public execution, with Zhao Gao gloating.














And he rides through a crowd and...








Yesssssssssss. His sword stops the ax.




And he wrenches the ax away...





And faces down the Chief Eunuch.





Yes. He puts a sword to the man's neck. YESSS.







Honestly, Qin Emperor, I know it sucks that your mystic crush object and your chief boycrush general betrayed you with their luuurve, but you brought it on yourself - either get yourself generals that are less hunky and less competent, do something so that your crushbunny won't have to be in constant danger and in need of a rescue, or at least freaking rescue her yourself once in a while. You are an Emperor, you won't have to use your sword even. Maybe that way she'll stick to being happy Mrs Underground Rivers of Mercury and not choose claymation with boyfriend.

Have another MV. This one centers on the 1930s portion of the story. It looks just as angsty as the ancient part :)

You sure know how to make a girl jump on your ship!

I'm still obsessing over JPLH, found a site that loaded both the TV version (up to episode 26) and all of the DVD parts...not the same...the DVD version seems incomplete...

Still waiting for subs, I think they are on episode 10 or 11..I now have to check Viki everyday after work to see if it's done...

LOL this is what you have done to me...made me a Palace addicted maniac!!!

Hey Mousie! I've been MIA because of the Chinese New Year and Jade Palace, equally... but at missraiya, where is this site that you've found????? I need it, I want it, I HAVE TO HAVE IT! I've watched up to ep20, and I'm just dying here!!

But Terracotta lost me midway after the 30's era, cuz the modern versions of the Meng Tian Feng and Dong Er were just not so interesting... not angsty enuf I s'pose.

Yeah, I don't think I'll be too interested in modern ones, just check the end to make sure they got a happy ending.

I just finished the ancient part and really loved it though. It had everything I loved. And that was even without subs.
