[ TURN ON CC FOR ENG SUBS ] This is a fan video for the Chinese period drama, Empresses in the Palace (甄嬛传 Legend of Zhen Huan). It follows the story of Hua Fei (华妃 Consort Hua; full name Nian Shilan), who starts out as the most powerful consort in the harem but eventually loses everything. Hua Fei is one of the most memorable harem antagonists. Her story is full of ups and downs...Power, love, jealousy, hatred, resentment, grief, and heartbreak. The role is definitely Jiang Xin's best work to date!
This fan edit took FOREVER to make. 😭😭😭 I tried 3 different songs to get one that matched well with the video...and combined countless clips to weave together Hua Fei's complicated story...It was difficult portraying things from Hua Fei's point of view since sometimes there's a sense of cognitive dissonance. She seriously believes she hasn't done anything wrong and also thinks she and the Emperor are meant to be despite falling in and out of favor multiple times. Then at the end the illusion shatters; she realizes she hated and blamed the wrong people...the one who harmed her the most and betrayed her most deeply was the person she LOVED....the Emperor.
SUBTITLES
Some of the translations are my own and may be paraphrased for context. Other translations are based on existing subtitles from the Magpie Bridge Brigade, some of which I edited and localized for my video. There may be a few errors. Technically Hua Fei's fragrance is an incense type, but I translated it to "parfum" to make it easier to understand.
