The Lament of Autumn
玉簟秋
Jiejie’s Take
Oh, another historical drama where a poor student gets caught up in political intrigue and a rich man's schemes? Darling, if he's already hiding his intentions while 'courting' you, maybe just take the ten days to find the real culprit and then run for the hills. Just saying!
Synopsis
In the Republic of China era, a student named Ye Ping Jun seeks employment in western Hunan to fund her mother's medical care. On her initial day, she becomes entangled in an assassination attempt targeting Yu Chang Xuan, the fifth son of the Yu family. Falsely accused, Ye Ping Jun challenges Yu Chang Xuan to uncover the real perpetrator within ten days. Yu Chang Xuan, however, uses this situation to pursue Ye Ping Jun romantically, concealing his ulterior motives.
