Steven's Mainland new series

Edited: Browse Zhang Meng's baidu, her fans before it was confirmed she would accept, also hoped that she wouldn't accept based on the cliche love story line, just like Steven fans. But per those who have especially looked up the online novel to read, they said the writing is nicely done despite its hackneyed story, and despite a much more interesting read than the summary snapshot posted online. 

REVISED: Lai Fu and Ting Xuan have no blood relation; they are just a dead ringer for each other.  Besides Lai Fu being accidentally killed in Ting Xuan's stead, Ting Xuan's mother is also killed so Ting Xuan married a rich wife so that he can revenge his mother's death.

This story is based on a popular online fiction. see baidu sm
Apparently its book title is now changed to 'When love becomes the past'.
《当爱已成往事》
改编自小说《当爱已成往事》

But fans not impressed by the supposedly script posted on line. Too pedestrian and convoluted love story. But we gotten to have faith in Steven choosing a good script.

==============================
Zai Song's daughter, Yong En, since childhood is betrothed to Warlord Shen Xiang's son, Qi Jun. Zai Song and his lawful wife, Yu Qing, become estranged.  Yu Qin and Tang Ji (the lover) eloped. Qi Jun returns home from overseas and wishes to break off the betrothal.  Enroute he coincidentally meets Yong En and falls in love with her at first sight.  Because Yong En is abused by stepmother she runs away from home and flees to her family housekeeper, Zhou Quan (Quan shu).  There she becomes friend with Lai Fu and they fall in love.  In a scheme to inherit the wealth and property, Ting Liang's, Qi Jun's second son, plots to kill his own older brother, Ting Xuan, but instead he kills Lai Fu, whom he had mistaken for Ting Xuan because they look exactly alike.   

Yong En does not know that Lai Fu is dead and mistaken Ting Xuan for him.  However, Ting Xuan treats her coldly. Yong En gets into Tang Residence to investigate. Ting Xuan by and by falls in love with Yong En. When Yong En realizes that Ting Xuan is not Lai Fu she leaves the Tang residence.  All the while, Qi Jun silently protects her. Ting Liang exposes that Ting Xuan is actually not Tang Qi's biological son so he gets kicked out the Tang family. Tang Liang also kills Ting Xuan's mother. (tn: who has earlier eloped with Tang Ji)  Ting Xuan so filled with hatred seeks vengeance. He marries Song Yi Lan hoping to use the Song family's wealth and power to get back Tang family's wealth and property.  Ting Xuan misses Yong En.  But she is now married to Qi Jun. Ting Xuan kidnaps Yong En and imprisons Qi Jun. But Yong En would rather die than submit. Qi Jun manages to rescue.  Hanging between life and death, Ting Xuan repents and let them go.

So everybody, what do you think of the story summary? Quite hackneyed and done to death cliche.

  1. Hi Tamaya, I'm wondering if you could translate the script of this series. So curious to know! Thank you in advance!

  2. like the fans, I'm so confused by this convoluted story line. But I'll translate it late, that is if I can make sense out of it. A day or two ago, when a fan first flushed out this story from some Chinese wiki site and posted it on baidu sm, fans were dismayed by the cliche story and hoped that that wasn't but now it seems it might be. But of course the story may change in details.

  3. Convoluted is the word for it.
    However, I would not worry too much.....
    Hopefully the storytelling would be more interesting....
    and so long as he does not expire in that one...
