![]() Some viewers consider Ning Que to be too much of a father figure to Sang Sang to accept the turn their relationship takes, claiming (or implying) that it is incest. It is an upsetting development for some viewers who only see one aspect of Ning Que and Sang Sang's dynamic. I watched this drama on Viki with comments on, so I know how divisive their relationship is. It's pretty obvious just by the fact that Sang Sang is the second lead which way Ning Que will lean (or even by the synopsis on this page), so I don't think this could be considered a spoiler. Later in the series, when Ning Que shows up with a love interest after a period of being away from home, they're forced to confront their true feelings and figure out what they really want. There are subtle elements of caretaker-dependent and older brother-younger sister to their interactions at times, but overall they seem best described as platonic life partners for the first thirty or so episodes (with occasional, subtle hints of romantic feelings/attraction). He has made a living by killing bandits, while she has taken care of domestic chores and finances. They are a few years apart in age, and although he was obviously her caretaker in her younger years, it wasn't too long before she was carrying her own weight. When he was a young child, he found her as a baby in a pile of corpses and took her in. She initially appears to be a maid who happens to be very fond of the person she serves, but it's quickly evident that their power dynamic is not quite that cut-and-dried. The relationship between Ning Que and Sang Sang is complex due to their unusual circumstances and there are multiple layers to their dynamic. Occasionally Sang Sang's emotions get the best of her, but no other character is as supportive or industrious as she is. She is such a gentle, cheerful young woman that it would be easy to forget what a difficult life she's led if not for her extreme practicality and her anxieties surrounding finances. He comes across as having a chip on his shoulder (with pretty good reason) and he is guarded around most of the other characters - Sang Sang being one of the few notable exceptions. Ning Que, the protagonist, is more antihero than hero, shaped by his childhood trauma and his struggle to survive while also supporting his "maid," Sang Sang. The main characters are interesting and likable, but flawed enough to be realistic. The first thing that stands out about this drama is its beautiful cinematography and great action scenes the fight choreography is exceptional, and the CGI is pretty solid overall.

Nothing is ever finished and there is always the possibility for a story to go on. The main characters rise from poverty to richness and the other way around, depending on what they deserve. Scheherezade told him stories about Sinbad the Sailor and many others and everything was possible in her stories. In the meantime, she gave birth to three of his sons, so he decided to spare her life. After a 1001 night, the Emperor was convinced that Scheherezade was faithful, noble and kind. She would always end the story when it got interesting. She was beautiful and smart, and she started telling him a story he enjoyed so much that he decided to put off her execution just to hear the end of the story.
