Why I like watching the NIRVANA IN FIRE? I told you before , it's like a HISTORY, what happened in the past during the Emperor's time. When humans cannot fathom the cause of epidemic, pandemic and the many deceptions caused by evil humans who were greedy about power takeover an empire ruled by evil emperors and emperor who was not strong enough to govern because no experience and most of all only followed the whims and wishes of the maternal mother and elders whose ancient laws are not up to the standard of what's happening in reality outside the empire. There are more experienced leaders who by lineage were not close to the royalty or the people inside the empire.
Who should rule the empire? The weakest link in NIRVANA in FIRE was the young emperor or young prince whose only console when he doesn't know what was happening in the court just cried most of the time or asked the help of the most oldest cabinet members or asked Pingjing for help. (assumed power before age 20) who is not really experienced to do the work in court of mostly elderly cabinet members. He was not even trained to use swords because he was asked to learn calligraphy and read old manuscripts only. Too young for the position of being an emperor. That the young emperor was not even aware of those people around his own domain as not to be trusted because truth is his own father emperor was poisoned regularly by feeding him with poisonous soup and medicines that only made him weak and ailing, unable to stand up on day to day procedures in the court house. Really? Or because he, the father emperor had hundreds of concubines and that was the reason for his ailment without cure? The older brothers of the emperor were stronger than him physically for no apparent reason that somehow there are servants feeding him with something that made him weak and sick. The emperor died and the young emperor inherited the throne. Then Xiao Yuangqui who was ambitious and won so many wars came to ask favor from the young emperor. He was not asking for anything of metallic value, not of gold and silver but the hands of Anru who worked for his mother, the Dowager. The young emperor allowed the marriage of Anru to the warrior Yuanqui and they lived happily ever after, until the lady in waiting named Pei discovered that Yuanqui was hiding a secret and was the perpetrator of the war, epidemic and slaughters of the villagers in Pei's native province. To shorten the story, Pei cannot hide the secret to her employer and revealed it to Anru. However, Anru's loyalty was to her husband and when Pei was about to beheaded, Anru asked not inside their vacation house and Pei was just asked to jump on the lake to make it appear it was a suicide. She didn't die however, and was discovered along the grassy shore of the lake on another side of the province and was taken care of by General _______? and his assistant. Yuanqui continued to be the menace asked somebody (the lady warrior in blue robe) to help him get rid of Anru's uncle. However, the blue lady can't escape that she asked Yuangqui to hide her inside his own palace. But then Anru found out their secret and Yuangqui caught off guard that he did what he needs to do but to have his loyalty to his wife Anru and burned the blue lady alive while enclosed in the black wooden box with mysterious red marking or logos. Such a tragic revenge, vengeance and betrayal of a demonic Yuangqui who was actually the mastermind of evil deeds within the empire since after the death of his own mother.
Xiao Yuangqui was really ambitious (can you blame him if he wants to avenge the murder of his mother and how she was treated like nobody by the emperor and his clan who happened to be his relatives). The unfair treatment of his mother was a factor for his revenge and besides the young emperor is weak, inexperienced and only jeopardize the whole empire of so many mistakes of his own making.
What happened to Xiao Pingjing & Lin Xi? Both of them are in love and asked the Shifu for the blessings. Although Pingjing was a noble warrior and from the Changling clan of nobility his leadership quality was tarnished when the young emperor didn't take sides with him during the most incredible battle at the time of the solar eclipse. Pingjing just silently obeyed the elders and away from the empire's and emperor's lair, his beloved father died and their mansion was taken and uphold by a stronger leader. It wont happen if his brother was alive and if his father didn't die early. I think the elders thought that Pingjin was a threat to the young emperor because of his martial arts skills and he is not dumb witted either. Instead Pingjing concentrate on reading old manuscripts side by side with the medicine woman Lin Xi.
If you like the whole story of NIRVANA IN FIRE II you should watch it on YOU TUBE or watch the remaining suspenseful episodes until the very last end on OMNI Channel. However, watching it on TV offers no English subtitles. You can understand it by reading their lips and their actions. Perhaps you are a Chinese and can understand their language then much easier for you.
