Romantic quote:
Mine, he thought as the blood rushed through his skull. For as long as she would have him. To the ends of the earth if she needed him there. He was a fool.

My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): loyalty
Excellent balance of martial arts action and romance with a chinese historical backdrop.
Loved how the female lead possessed a strong will and courage to forge her own way.
