Kill Me Love Me is a 2024 Chinese television series based on the novel Chun Hua Yan by Hei Yan. It stars Liu Xueyi and Wu Jinyan in leading roles. The series premiered on Youku on October 14, 2024.
Synopsis
Ten years ago, during the war among the kingdoms of Dayan, Xiyan, and Nanyue, Prince Murong Jinghe of Dayan, renowned for his combat skills, led the Weibei army to significant victories against Xiyan and reclaimed Qingzhou city. However, on his return to court to receive rewards, all the civilians of Qingzhou were massacred and he was attacked by the common people who blamed him for the tragedy. The attack decimated all his forces and made him disable.
Mei Lin, an orphan of Qingzhou, swears to take revenge from Murong Jinghe and joins Shadow Works where she undergoes years of rigorous training to become an assassin. Soon the master of Shadow Works assigns her first mission which is to assassinate Murong Jinghe. Mei Lin enters the palace and waits for a chance to kill him not knowing that the one behind the Shadow Works is none other than Murong Jinghe himself.

We watched the last three episodes tonight. The bad General Mingju has finally gotten his wish: his king has ordered him to attack Qingzhou in order to gain access to a sacred mountain so that his lunatic king can gain immortality. His first act is to order his archers to shoot flaming arrows into a forest next to Qingzhou. This starts a forest fire and General Jing, our hero, deploys his troops to fight the forest fire, which leaves the town sparsely defended, which is what bad General Mingju was hoping for.
While the town is sparsely defended, General Minju attacks, but something happened, I don't recall exactly, and he falls back to regroup. Good General Jing uses this opportunity to mount a suicide attack on Minju's camp in order to destroy his supplies and his siege engines. Qingzhou has impressive walls. Siege engines would be useful if you wanted to attack.
They manage to sneak into camp and kill a few of Mingju's soldiers before they raise the alarm and now their situation is much, much worse. They are near to getting wiped out and Pingyan, General Jing's sidekick, pulls off the most heroic death scene ever. He gets nailed to a post with some stout looking crossbow bolts. He is shot in the chest with three or four of these bolts, so we know he's a goner. (Yes, I know it's television, and people who we think have died get resurrected all the time, but in this series only the main characters get a second chance. Second string characters die once and they're done.) The bolts have no fletching and the main target of this raid (a big pile of industrial size firecrackers) is within sight. So here we go:
Pingyan pushes himself off the post, leaving big holes in his chest and the crossbow bolts stuck in the post. He picks up a big jug of oil, throws it into the air and then hits with a club or something and smashes it. Now he is drenched with oil. He now takes a couple of running steps, leaps into the air, flies over a flaming torch, which catches him on fire, and now he flies onto the pile of fireworks which dutifully explodes. That has got to be the most spectacularly heroic scene ever.
