The Story of Pearl Girl has climbed to the second spot in national ratings (China)! The young actors in the show are nothing short of stunning, each delivering performances that leave viewers cheering non-stop.
The Story of Pearl Girl tells the story of Duanwu (Zhao Lusi), a pearl-diver slave from Hepu. She endures unimaginable hardships in the brutal pearl farm before managing to escape against all odds.
After her escape, Duanwu encounters two pivotal figures: Yan Zi Jing (Liu Yu Ning), a merchant from the Western Regions, and Zhang Jin Ran (Tang Xiao Tian), a scholar.
Duanwu joins Yan Zi Jing’s caravan, embarking on a journey fraught with trials and tribulations. Along the way, she experiences a dazzling world of jewelry she could never have imagined before. But their journey to the northwest is anything but simple. Duanwu uncovers secrets about her origins and finds herself entangled in Yan Zi Jing’s web of vengeance. The relentless blows to her spirit are almost too much to bear — losing her loved ones and even being betrayed by the one she holds dear.
Devastated yet undeterred, Duanwu reinvents herself as Su Mu Zhe, boldly venturing to Yangzhou with an unyielding vow to uncover the truth, no matter the cost. Her tenacity and courage during these moments moved viewers deeply.
In Yangzhou, Su Mu Zhe refuses to let hatred consume her. With clarity of purpose, she builds a jewelry shop, Clear Mind, and faces numerous obstacles in her path.
In the end, Su Mu Zhe shines brightly at the Jewel Showcase, reaching new heights in jewelry artistry. She not only proves her own worth but also empowers women who had once been resigned to their fates to rise anew.
Duanwu/Su Mu Zhe is the soul of the series, of course, but the other women each have their own compelling stories and dreams. The drama beautifully showcases the power and charm of women, making it an absolute delight to watch.
Not to mention the exquisite costumes and props! The ancient Chinese clothing and jewelry are so stunningly detailed and dazzling.
