Legend of Fu Yao

扶摇

China · 2018 · 66 episodes

So, a slave girl just *happens* to meet a Crown Prince while on a quest to lift a curse, and they fall in love while solving political crises? Honey, that's not a journey; that's a conveniently plotted meet-cute with a side of world-saving. I'm just saying, the universe works *really* hard for some people. Universe give me some of this drama magic, please and thank you.
