I've been rewatching the 2007 version of Butterfly Lovers starring Dong Jie, and honestly, I don't think the two leads are right for each other. Liang Shanbo is devoted to serving his country and its people. His father died from overwork, and what Liang Shanbo really needs is a proper young lady like Wang Lan. The Zhu family is fabulously wealthy, and if the two of them got together, I feel like he'd end up using all of Zhu Yingtai's family fortune to help the poor. As for Ma Wencai, he really is handsome. Ma Wencai and Zhu Yingtai, Liang Shanbo and Wang Lan. Just writing whatever comes to mind, yeah!
A jade butterfly pendant brings about a fateful encounter. Zhu Xiaoying transmigrates into the story and becomes Zhu Yingtai...
