Synopsis:
This drama’s plot may be familiar thanks to the drama Gong which aired in January. Gong got a lot of flak for having a similar plot. However, while the premise of the dramas are somewhat similar, these two dramas are not to be confused with one another. They are very, very different. Gong was a mix of comedy and romance with your basic melodrama. Bu Bu Jing Xin, while possessing lighthearted and comedic moments, is a heavier, more serious drama.
25 year-old Zhang Xiao is transported back to the Qing Dynasty after a car accident. No, her body is not in the past, but rather her mind, her soul. When she wakes up, she is in the body of Maertai Ruo Xi [who is only 16], the younger sister of one of the 8th Prince’s wives. With no idea how to get home, Zhang Xiao lives as Ruo Xi and becomes entangled in the princes’ fight for the throne. I wonder which prince will manage to ensnare her heart in this drama? If you’ve seen the trailers for this drama, then you should know just how crazily complicated this plot is going to get.
