Wei Shang Zhi is China's Bluebeard or Henry the Eighth, he's a man who has wed six times -- and murdered all his brides. Bai Zhi will be the Marquis' seventh wife by Imperial edict, and her family is none too happy to hand their precious daughter over to die. She goes prepared - her clothes are stuffed with poisons and weapons. But the unexpected happens, and she soon finds herself intrigued by her clever, handsome groom.

Marquis Wei is, of course, not the person rumor and speculation have made him out to be, and a lot of the impetus of our story comes from the heroine and the local community discovering the truth behind his alleged crimes. Yang Xiao Ting does a nice job of giving us a female lead who is naive but not stupid and whose sweet nature, open mind, and loving heart make her a perfect match for our stalwart hero. Li Qi Ge also does a nice job of depicting the male protagonist - he manages to be warm and kind toward those he trusts while still displaying a cynical and menacing demeanor to the world at large. He plays the role like he is a man with secrets - which is perfect, cause he is.

Both actors struggled some with the choreography of the many holds, catches, and fight sequences, but this didn't really detract from my enjoyment. The story is short, sweet, and clear, which is a blessing because the English subtitles are as bad as I have ever seen. Sometimes what was on screen seemed like complete gibberish and you had to struggle to figure out what the character was actually trying to communicate.

Overall, this is a good short, sweet watch for when you want something light and quick.
