Qu Xiaofeng, the beloved princess of the Western Liang Kingdom, is promised to the Crown Prince of Li Dynasty in a political marriage between the two countries.

Under the deliberate arrangement by Gu Jian, fifth prince Li Chengyin disguises himself as an ordinary tea merchant by the name Gu Xiaowu, and meets Qu Xiaofeng.

Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin

This dark take on the teen melodrama introduces a new generation of Liars who are tormented by A - a masked killer hellbent on punishing them for the sins of their mothers.

Twenty years ago, a series of tragic events almost ripped the blue-collar town of Millwood apart.

Now, in present day, a disparate group of teen girls - a brand-new set of Little Liars - find themselves tormented by an unknown Assailant and made to pay for the secret sin committed by their parents two decades ago... as well as their own.

In the dark, coming-of-age, horror-tinged drama Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, we find ourselves miles away from Rosewood, but within the existing Pretty Little Liars universe - in a brand-new town, with a new generation of Little Liars.

In the series premiere, "Chapter One: Spirit Week": In 1999, a deadly Y2K rave leaves a group of friends forever changed.

Twenty-two years later, the life of pregnant 16-year-old Imogen Adams is rocked by the sudden death of her mother, Davie — and the fallout of a fight with her former best friend, Karen.

Then, as Millwood High's Spirit Week approaches, Imogen and a group of fellow outcasts are targeted by a shared enemy.

Are the young outlaws ready for their relationship to reach the next level?

Finally free of his tag, Frank faces a familiar choice - fly the coop or stand still for once in his life.

John has grand plans to modernise the family firm, but his father has emerged from retirement with his killer instinct intact.

Gabby finds the tap has been turned off by her father, and her real friends are in short supply.

Greg might be the only person in the world she can rely on, and Gabby might be the only person who can help him win the heart of a workplace crush.

Myrna finds she hasn't buried the bones of the past, even as the outlaws' shared past comes back to haunt them in the shape of a terrifying London drug lord who is out for blood.

Genre: Drama

Sweet Magnolias 3

Sweet Magnolias centres around three best friends (Maddie, Helen, and Dana Sue) born and raised in Serenity, South Carolina, a small southern town where everybody knows everybody and everybody knows everybody's business.

Following the brawl at Sullivan's, Maddie wrestles with the best way to help Cal and works to clear her own emotional path.

Helen faces difficult decisions about the men in her life and Dana Sue searches for a way to use Miss Frances' cheque to help the community, without upending her family.

The identity of the tyre slasher sends shockwaves through Serenity, the recall causes unexpected consequences, and there are romantic surprises in every generation.

Throughout the season, the ladies tackle these problems - and all the complications they cause - with their trademark warmth, humour and devotion to each other and those they love.

And margaritas.
