Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Chinese Paladin 3 is a 2009 fantasy Wuxia TV show. It is the prequel to the 2004 series Chinese Paladin and like the first is based on a video game of the popular RPG series Sword and Fairy (the second game was apparently judged by the studio to have a plot insufficiently interesting to adapt to TV).Jing Tian is a wastrel pawnshop assistant who, finding a fragment of jade fallen from heaven, is pulled into meeting the willful yet beautiful heiress of the local ruling family, Tang Xue Jian. Xue Jian is the beloved granddaughter of Tang Manor's Tang Kun, who comes under attack when an evil cult tries to take over control of the Tang Manor with music-controlled poison zombies! The pair accidentally meets Xu Changqing, Daoist priest and eldest disciple of the Mt Shu Sect, who aids them in defeating the cult and rescuing the Tang Manor. With the zombies and their master dealt with, the main plot kicks off.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Foreseeing the destruction of the world at the hands of an evil force, the 5 elders of Mt Shu Sect call upon Jing Tian and Changqing to acquire the five spirit pearls in order to enter the celestial realm and reach the one place in the world where that force can be destroyed before it comes into its full strength. The two of them join with Jing Tian's adopted brother Mao Mao, Xue Jian, who has been banished from Tang manor after it was revealed that she is a foundling, and Long Kui, a mysterious waif who claims to be both a princess of a vanished kingdom and Jing Tian's little sister, and set off on their mission.While on the surface the show has a bog-standard RPG plot - The Chosen One collects a series of Plot Coupons in order to thwart a Big Bad and save the world - the interwoven back stories of the main cast and the moral choices that they have to face as they learn about their past make it so that there is more than meets the eye here.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

 Chinese Paladin 3 / int_11630eaa
comment
The Gambling Addict: Jing Tian, to the bafflement of Changqing (who was born in a monastery and is extremely naive about social life) and the exasperation of Xuejian, who considers it a childish weakness of his. He causes difficulties for the heroes on more than one occasion with his weakness for gambling, but his gambling experience also allows him to bluff and swindle nonhumans who could squish him like a bug in a straight-up fight.

Green-Eyed Monster
 Chinese Paladin 3 / int_1d2400e9
comment
Green-Eyed Monster: Xuejian gets hilariously infuriated when Jing Tian cons the Fire Phantom Queen into a pretend wedding night in order to steal the third Spirit Pearl. There is a much grimmer example in the backstory, when Lin Ye Ping Changqing's previous incarnation hears his wife Zixuan sighing the name "Liufang" in her sleep and becomes consumed with jealousy. Gu Liufang was his previous incarnation, the one when he and Zixuan began their cycle of Star-Crossed Lovers, so he is in fact becoming jealous of himself. A sadder example is when Jian Tian thought Xuejian really did fall in love with someone else, he was absolutely miserable. There is a non-romantic example later in the series, when Longkui becomes very worried that she will become unimportant to Jing Tian if he marries Xuejian. this arises thanks to Evil Sword Immortal's manipulations, and leads to tragedy.

Sword over Head: Jing Tian's sword takes him over when he storms the Tang Master's funeral. He's about to trash the place, coffin included, when Xue Jian throws herself between them, resulting in this trope. Sword At Throat variant when Chan Qing tries to get into a house that Zixuan is guarding.

Reincarnation Romance

comment
Reincarnation Romance: Zixuan and Changqing, through both of his last two incarnations. Unlike some examples, the reincarnation is only one-sided, since as a descendant of the goddess Nuwa, Zixuan is immortal until her daughter grows up. It turns out that Jing Tian and Xue Jian are partly this too, as he is the second reincarnation of the Heavenly General demoted for treason, while she is a clone/creation of the goddess who was in love with him then.

Sealed Evil in a Can
 Chinese Paladin 3 / int_485eb589
comment
Sealed Evil in a Can: The "evil smog" created by the use of Mt Shu's forbidden skill. The elders of Mt Shu sealed it in the Demon Locking Pagoda, and Jing Tian was later able to transfer it into a specially prepared container by virtue of being the Chosen One. Subverting the usual trope, the goal of the main quest is to destroy it before it has the chance to escape. thanks to skillful manipulation of Jing Tian's Nakama, it succeeds in escaping, reverting to the standard trope.

Call to Adventure: Jing Tian receives three of these in a row in the first episode: a mysterious old man appears in his dreams, a jade amulet falls from the sky into his hand and displays obvious magical power, and a hooded and cloaked man finds him and tells him that he is destined to save the world from calamity, and that his amulet is key to victory. Refusal of the Call: Jing Tian is less interested in the dream mentor than in the valuable chest the man shows him, is only interested in selling off the jade amulet as soon as possible, and tells the cloaked man that he is no warrior, but only interested in riches and comfortable living. Naturally, he swiftly learns that You Can't Fight Fate.

 Chinese Paladin 3 / int_6bda9a30
comment
Meaningful Name: Xue Jian is told that her fated True Love's name has something to do with the sky. She guesses "Clouds" and nearly marries a man named that, but finally ends up with Jing Tian, whose name does mean "Sky." Note that this prophecy was given to her by Changqing, who already knew both her and Jing Tian, and might just have been trying to give her a nudge in the right direction.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The world is in need of saving because the elders of Mt Shu decided to use their sect's forbidden technique to defeat an incursion of monsters and demons into the human realm. Shockingly, the technique had been forbidden for a reason, and using it created a potentially-world-ending evil force.

Red Oni, Blue Oni: Long Kui fills both roles, thanks to her demonic protector form. Zixuan and the Saintess lack the color scheme but definitely have the personalities, with the Saintess being cold-blooded and ruthless when it comes to her task of protecting Nuwa's bloodline, while Zixuan is impulsive, somewhat vacillating, and in thrall to her love for Changqing.

Refusal of the Call: Jing Tian is less interested in the dream mentor than in the valuable chest the man shows him, is only interested in selling off the jade amulet as soon as possible, and tells the cloaked man that he is no warrior, but only interested in riches and comfortable living. Naturally, he swiftly learns that You Can't Fight Fate.

Foreshadowing: Episode 1 has Xue Jian trying on masks at a vendor's stall. Specifically, she tries on a pig mask, which is what Jing Tian spends the rest of the series calling her. It also ties in to Zixuan's storyline. Xue Jian's magic hair, which is merely played for laughs, and the ancient forest spirit's inability to read her mind, are both foreshadowing that she is not properly human, but the fruit of a heavenly tree.

Dramatic Irony: Xue Jian and Jing Tian trapped in a Lava Pit whose flames can only be extinguished by tears. Jing Tian begins a mournful Final Speech...causing both of them to cry so hard they don't notice when the fire does go out. The magic sword that will save the kingdom can only be completed with the sacrifice of a royal female virgin into the furnace. The former reincarnation of Jing Tian, the prince refused to let his sister sacrifice herself, the sword was not completed, and the kingdom fell. His sister then threw herself into the furnace anyway.
