in Taiwan. She feels her similar complex experience helps her

dancers.
The drama is adapted from a novel by Taiwan famous literature
giant Pai Hsien-yong. The tale is based on the love stories and sad
fate of Taipan Chin and four other beauties of Shanghai in the
1940s through the 1960s.
Pai Hsien-yong also attended the press meeting. He agreed that
Liu is a suitable choice to play the powerful character of Taipan
Chin.
