She is everyones fave bad girl right now and i cant go too much into her history cause of spoilers . This is not the only Historical Drama she has been in ,she appears in the Chinese Drama about the mighty Yang Clan . The story of the Yang Clan is pretty much China's 300 Spartans only minus 292 . Xiao is invading Song and the only thing that stands in its way is old general Yang and his Seven Sons ,but the Yangs are betrayed by their own Prime Minister who snitches them out to the Empress ,At the Battle 4 of the Sons are killed one turns traitor because he loves the Dowagers Daughter ,and the other two make it out alive . With Song about to fall Lady Yang leads the wives ,sisters as well as the last two sons into battle against the Empress Army at the finale, Yalu Pennu so impressed with the Yangs bravery calls a truce . This is pretty much Chinas most popular story its to China what 300 Spartans are to Greece or the 47 Ronin are to Japan , It has been filmed bukoo times from the old shaw bros until recent ,best known versions are 14 AMAZONS (SHAW BROS -1966 ) 8 DIAGRAM POLE FIGHTER (SHAW BROS -1968 ) LEGEND OF THE YANG CLAN (1985 TBT TV Series that also launched the careers of ANDY LAU (Infernal Affairs to name a few )and Tony Leung Chu Wai (Hero ,Lust Caution ) WARRIORS OF THE YANG CLAN (2004 TBT TV series ,gives a sympathetic look at the traitor Si Lang Yang ) THE YOUNG WARRIORS (2007 TBT series ) The last one is on domestic Dvd from Tai Seng Video .
