Hi Agent readers, I have migrated the fan fiction story at my homepage https://angelchuablog.wordpress.com/site for better reading interface. Also, I won’t close this page, instead I will update this page to provide the link of a finished chapter. Thank you for following and reading my own version of Princess Agents part two. I hope you enjoy it and please drop any comments if you have some questions and I will get back to you soon as possible.
I wanted also to inform everyone that I write in realtime, this means you will read both unedited and edited version of AC’s fanfic. To my readers, you may have to read and go over again to those chapters I will tag as raw-for editing, because it means I am not yet done polishing to finish the chapter and may have added some photo’s, conversations and some interesting storylines that was not included at my first edit. Other times if I wanted to go back to a certain chapter and do some tweaks or spin, I will tag it as Edited. This means that I may have changed some lines, corrected some spelling or changed/removed some phrases. It is best to peek at them so you know there is new chapter to catch on then you may reserve your reading at your next freetime after I remove the raw-for editing tag. Hope this helps for everyone who loves Princess Agents like me. Have a good one.

Thank you again for this wonderful writing piece! I love all the backstory… seriously it makes the stories come to life and we can all look at it from different angles!
I have somewhat caught up with some of the other writings, comments, some forums, post etc.. about this drama and one thing that stood out is that…. the directors and writers must be dimwits not to ride on the success of this drama and do a sequel. Im glad I actually discovered this drama late while everything was somewhat done. Your writing needs to be picked up by the production team— serious.. they need talents like yours to really give the story so much more. This is my second C-Drama … I also felt like it was umm for lack of better word… unfulfilled and deprived of that feeling of satisfaction. Nirvana in Fire was my first drama and though the ending was a bit sad, its like the main lead came fulfilled his promise and so when he left it was like…. “well done Lin Shu” he had honored his family and his men!!

Chapter 12: The Master’s Sword
Before I carry on… just a side remark…. I AM A HUGE FAN OF ANYTHING REGARDING “King Arthurs Court”– His Knights of the Roundtable and of course Excaliber…. !!!
Okay as I reread this, I am under the impression that the Chu Kingdom and QingHai were/are allies. But the Chu Jing Kingdom is not as expansive as the QingHai? And also it seems like the Chu Kingdom operated more on the Underworld Alliance– where lots of supernatural things occur.
Keep up the great work… I am enjoying all the wonderful storytelling!!!

Once again Thank you for the recaps and your fantastic comments. Basically, the screen writing structure of the princess drama series is like an arc based on the its original novel Chu Qiao Chuan Biography the chapters were divided into three 180 degree arc. I call it growth, apex and death. First sowing seeds, then watch something grow, then watch something reach its peak and watch something die. the Wei is exhausted in the drama and Yanbei died and still recouping. In the original novel the author wrote Yanbei recovered and about the rise of Bian Tang which is the Liang state in the drama series but forgot to also include the story of Bathuja family however the author develop the story of Huai Song another state controlled by Liang state princess Nalan Hongye (Xiao Yu in the drama) under the rule of Xiao Ce. In my fan fic, I wanted to start another arc but a downward 180 degrees to make it wholistic 360 degree novel, so I wrote about Yuwen Yue’s past as told by the drama he is an adopted son while in the original he isn’t. Qinghai is set and located in the Ximeng Continent where Yuwen Yue has to start from scratch after his yuwen family disowened him after his icy lake tragedy. In the original novel Qinghai was described as a desolate full of criminals and savage fighters where yuwen yue recruited his army and set up a new empire Qinghai. I don’t think Yuwen yue has to start from scratch, so to pick up the story of his adoption I had to paint the picture of Qinghai and shine like the sun, an abandoned empire of his own that will make him very hard to get back to Chu Qiao as his princely duties starts to unfold. On the other side, in the drama Chu Qiao had a higanbana flower at her back and the leader of wind and cloud decree while in the original these were not included, so Chu Jing kingdom has to established and somehow a lesser power than Qinghai looking after the underworld spies and other darker things, You are right, Chu Jing will only play the part given they have to suppress an empire if their mortal power oppress the people until it was overly utilized by Qinghai and started to shatter to protect its Sun as Chu jing is its moon. So you are right. We have seen the eyes of God as taking care of the mortal realms as Wei depicts a more carnal world wherein fresh flesh and blood is real while underworld ruled by Chu Jing will take care of the spiritual realms and it will be patterned on the Ying- Yang school in the Legend of Qin who studies about divinity the heavens and the underworld but its difference lies on a more realistic and little bit touch of fantasy side. Its like when the mortal is strong the spiritual declines, but when the mortal world weakens, so is the spiritual realms will come to its strength. The main goal is to still show that Chu Qiao can achieve and bring back the peace by teaching the empires to reform their slavery system, respect those who are forgotten by time and those who were put to ashes must rise to take its place that would bring back the balance of the world leaving no one behind. The central figure is Chu Qiao with her faith his groom to be Yuwen Yue may come back and she can make things right but it wouldn’t be that easy this time and it be more difficult ahead involving lots of throwback in the past to connect its future. have a good one

To add more highlights – its like we have seen the heavens in part one now its time to see who rules the underworld for its part two. I really hope the directors and producers of Princess Agents would adapt my fan fic and maybe someone may show this to them and have them read? Just a wishful thinking

This is just my thoughts on a tagent. I came across this drama about a week ago. I honestly skipped thru some of the parts and did not really get into it until the end. It was only when I came across the online post and forums that I began to divulge into the story. Then I went back to some of the episodes I had skipped thru and watched it again.
Your stories here however are a delight to read because I love the vivid descriptions you portray. As I read about YX, in here it seems like he is slowly redeeming himself esp when he goes to visit Mr. Wu. His character really reminds me of Darth Vadar, in Star Wars. When you think of it, he left his parents at a young age, therefore he did not have the solid foundation of a good upbringing to really root itself. So when he was faced with all these tradegies, everything was based on emotions-powerful raw emotions. He had no outlet except to fume internally until it consumed him to the point that he saw, his own personal vengence as a platform to rage war on everyone even his own people. His love for A’Chu is beautiful- in the beginning. Towards the end, its more like a possession that he MUST have. Of course Mr. Wu with his cryptic self ask YX if he will recognize her if he sees her. Unbeknownst to YX, his A’Chu is definitely going through a major transformation herself with discovering her powers and everything that comes with it– her memories, heritage, responsibilities, bloodline, history etc.. I am DEFINITELY excited for this reveal because YX doesnt know much about it. I wonder how he will react to it– I have no doubt, he is going to want her more than ever.
As for our pretty boy Yuwen Yue( haha) I prefer his rugged handsome looks with that shadow beard he is sporting. I love the fact that he is wandering the streets and witnessing first hand the devastation of poverty, human cruelty and the oppression of the common people. I am glad his long suffering is bringing more of his compassionate side and striping away his pride. I always thought more of his character as a NORTH STAR, very steady and unwavering. Even when he was raised under the rule of his grandfather, I never got the sense he was cruel to others by his own nature. I get the sense that Yuwen Yue more nurturing side was dormat because he had to put on a facade for the sake of survival . Even with the hunting of slaves, yes he did not overtly go against it, nor was he for it, it was more of a impassive attitude. It was only when his Xinger came along and challenged his beliefs and way of thinking that began to understand lots of things thru trials of hardships. This is why I equate his character to a north star, because as he grows into his own, his character is more defined in terms of his innate sense of goodness. You witness the transformation— his integrity was always present.
And our heroine, I wonder on this journey, whom will she encounter first. I am thinking perhaps YX because he is after all the Prince of Yanbei and soon to be King– so it wont be hard to get in touch with him. But after all that has happened, I dont know if she will go see him. Now that she knows about QingHai I wonder if she will put two and two together and see that the son is Yuwen Yue. She seems to have lost her memory of YY, but the heart knows what the heart knows and how will she go about tracking him. It also seems the underworld spy network is more powerful than the Eyes of God network– or perhaps they function differently? Like the Underworld network is more into mystical whereas the Eyes of God is more into the mortal realm.
Anyways thanks once again and keep up the great work!

If I can only rate your comments to a six or seven star I would definitely say you did a recap for this 13 chapters of ACs fanfic. I love the words you used, how you used the exact adjectives that readers would want more to look forward and even do read backwards.
In my outline, I have been delving myself if Chu Qiao should see first Yan Xun and have short tea date under the Xiu Xiu mountains where Yan xun promised to tour her when they were at a time of having their heads chop off from the executioner Yuwen Huai. but it seems I would like to start first to introduce Yuwen Yue’s journey to the Woolong mountains and finally arrives at Qinghai with his band of his own army and like a prodigal son and a father and son reunion only to be meet him for a while and then thats it. Not to mention his revenge for what the Queen had done for the empire and to torture his father that the Qinghai King dull and set up to fail plans..While Yuwen Yue is heading towards his abandoned dynasty, Chu Qiao is heading south (just like what is in the original) and work with Xiao Ce where the playboy prince will portray his sentimental side by bringing a reunion to her sister’s and his Xuili army that was totally forsaken by Yan Xun and even go as far as looking for Yuwen Yue and have their greatest reunion ever adding of drama of his charm dying on site but will live after Chu Qiao uses its powers. Yan Xun expand his power and true to what was in the oracle he will become the dragon king where Yuan Song will be his one of hard to beat opponent as he begins to unfold his good leadership better than his father. Yuan Song will have some difficulty at first with yuan che as Yuan che also have other interests for himself but will later join his little brother, Yuan Chun to marry Xiao Ce as it was the last wish of his father and Yuwen Huai suffer in the hands of Princess Zama as she pushes Yuan Chunner to marry Xiao Ce. Yan Xun also marries Xiao Yu sister of Xiao Ce but only for expanding his territories and to establish a new spy network for Yanbei that will soon be counter and destroy by mr. wu and zhong yu as this is not the Datong way. Etc, etc, stay tune for me and please continue your recaps for this fan fic it may help others to catch up as I plan to have this at least 50-100 chapters depending on the reactions of the readers. Thank you so much I appreciate your comment recaps Xie Xie. 😊

I absolutely love your touch on the history/legend of the swords. It is totally fascinating– Its so magical and mystical how the draw of the sword is. I find it very compelling that they did not expound more on the legend of the swords in the drama! It is indeed very poetic!
Ive not read the book just tidbits here and there. I am a huge fan of Nirvana in Fire(NIF) and as I was watching this series (PA) I noticed some similarities– in terms of their tragic storyline. Lin Shu (NIF) was just absolutely brilliant in how he took his revenge and planning and his execution was flawless, that genius mind of his working to eradict such a cruel monarchy and put in place someone that would rule with justice for the people. Whereas our YX, his circumstances were very similar to Lin Shu but how he carried our his vengence was ,everyone was expendable and collateral damage. He did not care for the general welfare of his people. So in this sense– I feel the moral of the story is: Decisions determine Destiny.
As I watched the scene at the of the Jiu You Platform then later in the prison, I was struck by the immaturity of both YX and Chu Qiao. YX is a very emotional guy, whereas Chu Qiao is very implusive. Chu Qiao rushes into situations without assessing the situations first, she does her planning AS she is in the heat of the moment. YX for a guy who was very carefree and somehow limited in his situation, he sure was very UNplanned about alot of things– even tries to brush off about the paranoia of the King towards his father.
As I mentioned earlier, Yuwen Yue is really the more mature one, briliant mind, military strategist, espionage, very detailed in his planning. He was always steps ahead, He had so much against him and at times he did lose his cool but ever the pragmatic one– got back into his game and excuted his plans. He was content to let YX and Chu Qiao escape, as long as they do not hurt the people– but once again, YX being who he is after the brutal killings of his family, he was just fueled by hatred at this point. Chu Qiao for all her powers, I believe she is an incurable optimist, she believes in the goodness of all people and the rights of all should never be trampled on.

I couldn’t agree more with you said, Yuwen Yue was one of the guys who led and works in ways that the two does not get. That’s why it hurts to see Yuwen Yue receiving all Yan Xun fury because he thought Yuwen Yue did not protected him at the platform. He told Yuwen Yue they were friends for 10 years and yet he was involved in the execution and Yan Xun was not informed. That is one thing that Yuwen Yue was not able to address..

The short glance she gave to Yuwen Yue, acknowledging the predicament he was in and its like she “understood” his inner turmoil and acknowledged it. Even though his cousin was the head executioner, she addressed it to Yue and was granted that request. That moment YX asked his mom “why”? It was that of a little boy wanting to understand what is happening? How can this be real? Why is this happening to our family? His family has much to blame for their part because how can they have not taken preemptive measures for themselves… helloooo? They are after all a military family and they KNEW from the onslaught the moment the King had wanted all the sons of the noble families to be at the palace as hostage prince…. yeah that wouldve sent a warning bell for his early indication of major paranoia.
I mention Nirvana in Fire again because the Emperor is of the same character– killing off their best friends and their entire families, killing off thousands because of pyschotic breakdown. What was mentioned in NIF was– good men come into the throne, its the lure of the throne that messes up the mind– pyschologically, mentally, emotionally and physically! The Absolutel Power and obsessive need to hold on to it.
Yuwen Yue, silently standing outside the tower and shooting any assassins that dares enters, then in the morning, gets his people to look through scrolls and eliminate those prospect that will be chosen by the king to be the Duke of Yanbei– HE THINKS WAY IN ADVANCE– and then ask the Princess for help in her part while he strategically maneuvers the chess piece so YX can live longer. This is why Yuwen Yue for me is more intriquing because of his brilliant mind. Chu Qiao is smart, but not on the level that our loverboy is– and YX is all raw emotions– even towards the end of the episodes, he doesnt possess that level of intelligence. Its more like his character is “what you see is what you get”. In all honesty, I was more annoyed with his character, his revenge to me was unfulling, he didnt take out the major players, he focused on the surfice but did not root out the evil. That part where he wanted to kill all the students at the academics because they were sons of noble, that to me was just all the more telling of his very shallow planning. His revenge was all over the place– thats why I felt like it was unfullfilling to me.

Chu Chuan Biography 
It just gets better and better when you really delve into the historical background of the story. The fabric of the overall story is weaving its beautiful way through all the unanswered questions.
It seems like Yuwen Hao is quite the gentleman and a doting father to his son, already he has set up the future for his sons well being and without any undue thought– Yuwen Yue will be the next heir to the Eyes of God– really remarkable indeed!
So Yuwen Yue ‘s mother is caught up in a somewhat drugged induced state due to the scents huh. In the drama– I was really disgusted with his lack of humanity– and its like he was a sadistic cannibal. So I was glad he ended up being killed– though maybe if he got castrated and made to suffer that wouldve been good torture. That sicko was just not human!
Cheering you forward……

Thank you so much, your comments are my food, a lot of fragmented stories in the drama that can actually connect to the original however we have to branch it out and make the drama the focal point instead by also picking up the origianl novel’s characters. Yuwen hao was not actually part of the original novel but was in the drama so I have to pickup his story from there to paint a colorful meaningful past of the father who raised yuwen yue,though he turned out to be Chu Qiao’s last contender before she fell from the cliff where her memories suffered chibih (forgotten) and all her powers slept then later on we learned that Yuwen Hao was the father of Yuwen Yue and he is an adopted son. Though he became an antagonist with our protagonist Chu Qiao, looking at Yuwen Yue’s character somewhat aristocratic and with a soft spot it means their were some influences in his early life that might have contributed to who he is right now. And so I took the fragmented part of story and connect it to this chapter. While Tai Furen revealed she is from the Xie household. she also introduced the story of her niece the mother of Yuwen Yue that they were both in the Jile Pavilion that night and suffered in the hands of Yuwen Xi leaving her two feet disabled and his niece she did not really mention specifically what happened to her but Tai Furen said to Yuwen Yue, you should listen to stories more longer than this..and did not want to spill it all. Yuwen Yue thought she is already dead but after passing the stratagems crashing his own household he found the 3rd concubine locked up inside the Jile Pavilion and has not seen the sun eversince then, this left leaving Yuwen Huai angry at Yuwen Yue for such a rude tress passing his cousin should have never dared to try but Yuwen Yue did.
there is one more angle in the drama that Yan Xun and Yuwen Yue are brothers, this was revealed when Yuwen Gao wrote a paper snow to Tai Furen and she wrote back to warn Yuwen Gao about their brotherhood. If we take this literally then maybe Yan Xun’s closeness and fondness to Yuwen Yue may have been because of their blood relatedness however it was not taken literally but it meant metaphorically that Yuwen Yue and Yan Xun became only brothers due to their childhood pact they cut their own skin and seal with their blood, I looked into the novel and I have not found that story, but in the drama it was shortly mentioned but not emphasized. Tai Furen warned Yuwen Gao that Yuwen Yue may bring disaster to Yuwen household if he is to show any favor over what the emperor has cut from its roots which the emperor smelled on Yuwen Yue and although its not Yuwen Yue’s job order to execute, he ordained them in addition to Yuwen Huai the head of the supreme court. But in the novel, although Yuwen Huai holds the supreme power of the courts he did not really participate in the execution unlike what is told in the drama which made it more painful as we watch Yuwen Yue disown his bestfriend but you cannot carry any grudge to Yuwen Yue because the more he disowned him, the better protection he gave to Yan Xun and that’s one thing Yan Xun did never understood so as Chu Qiao. I still remember that part where the yuwen parrot flew in that royal prison and said: Xinger, Xinger,Xinger. The bird announced that Yuwen Yue the master of the eyes of God personally and became their personal assassin to counter all assassins that night, the duty guard who came on his own to stay late at night far from the prison and exhausted himself and his crossbow weapons shooting all who came to the prison to assassinate the two. Then in the morning a breaking news came to the emperor that someone is protecting Yan Xun and he does not who is he not even suspecting Yuwen Yue. In this way, the two survived the night with their lives safe while Yuwen Yue may be put to danger at anytime and be found out…:) have a good one.

Wow… thats quite awesome if that angle was explored more… the brotherhood thingie. I also remembered that parrot coming during their prison stay.. and only Xinger saw it… I wonder if she understood that YY was outside standing guard. You are also right, YX did not think that YY was protecting HIM by not showing him any favors…. but YX was already in an emotional and psychological mess…. his brain wasnt functioning well so he took things at face value.
I also wondered if a little bit of him resented YY because of Chu Qiao… like out of jealousy you know. He couldnt think past anything even when he was under house arrest and YY wanted to also help him escape…. he just straight wanted revenge and didnt care!
