I watched Louis Koo's version of "Xun Qin Ji" two days ago. I also read the book in the early years, but it was too stalled and really uninspiring. It was more of a TV series... Well, at least there were only two girls left in the end.
In the play, Xiang Shaolong's final choice to live in seclusion was indeed a wise choice! But as a spectator, I feel that it is a pity that the story ends like this. Since he has such talent and martial arts, he might as well continue the story for us after being tired. In a word - the life he is more suitable for is definitely not the leisurely and comfortable "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence" with a beautiful girl. For the sake of love and peace, go back to the bloody days of conspiracy!
