This is my third time watching War and Beauty, <<金枝欲孽>>, on Channel U. It is such a classic epic, that it deserved to be one of the best drama serials of all times. The actors live their characters superbly, the plot is tense and gripping, and the twists are anything but predictable. Most of all, the verbal confrontations between the protagonists are so awesome and exciting that one craves for more. And they have left so many quote-worthy lines that I must post them here.
In order of my liking for the character:
Lady Ru 如妃
On Yuying's tactics to get into her good books,
“自作聪明，也要看有没有本宫聪明。”
When meeting the Empress in the imperial garden after she succumbed to a ploy by the Empress,
“皇后看起来好像是很久没开屏，但今天终于有机会的孔雀。可是如玥从来没有兴趣当孔雀，因为能浴火重生的只有凤凰。“
On how take revenge on the Empress,
“能杀皇后的，只有皇上。要皇上杀自己的皇后，需要一个很好的理由。”
Anqian 安茜
Anqian's fatal weakness,
“天下间罪被逼得人并非无情，而是利用感情。”
The game of Survivor,
“在后宫，有人奉承你，代表有人想利用你； 有人对你好，则代表有人想害你。”
Erchun 尔淳
Men beware!
“要得到男人的心，最下乘的方法是千依百顺，中乘的是若即若离，最上乘的是求而不得。”
Yuying 玉莹
On how to reach an unshakable position,
“与其争抢皇上的恩宠，不如抢抢皇上的血脉。”
Empress 皇后
Lecturing the concubines under her charge,
“在后宫，可以平分秋色，但不可一度扎挠头，可以各展所长，但不可以独领风骚。”
On her triumph over Lady Ru after many years,
“要赢得多，就得先学怎么输。”
To her husband the Emperor,
“其他妃嫔只把你当主子，只有我把你当夫君。”
Yeah, these are a few I remembered deeply, for their well-crafted mastery, double meanings and sheer wit.
