 ==Synopsis==
-The well-known story of "Duke of Mount Deer" tells a tale of an uneducated scoundrel named Wai Siu Bo who grows up in a brothel with his mother. He has never known who his father is. Wai Siu Bo's only goal in life is to be rich and it's understandable because of where he comes from. However, with a twist of fate, Siu Bo encounters many distinguished figures such as Chan Gun Nam, Eunuch Hoi, the one-armed Ming Princess, emperor Hong Hei, etc., these encounters have not only changed his life but also brought out those admiring characteristics of Siu Bo. From the very bottom of the social ladder, Siu Bo makes his way up to the top as a beloved servant of the Emperor and as a distinct figure in the Heaven and Earth Sect. Initially, Siu Bo might be greedy, might do anything to save his life, however, towards the end of the series, we come to love the character because he is very human. He might be greedy but it is realistic, he might be flirty but he does care for his wives, he might be uneducated but he is extremely loyal to his friends, and never once forgot his responsibilities towards his family. "Duke of Mount Deer" makes fun at all the values and tradition that were praised very highly in other Jin Yong novels. The Heaven and Sect's members are not as brave and courageous as the Red Rose Sect in "Legend of the Book and the Sword". Our hero in this story is not dashingly handsome nor is he powerful in kung-fu.

-==Review==
+===The Emperor===
-One of the main reasons that "Duke of Mount Deer" is so much admired is because of the character of Wei Xiaobao. Wong Jing changed many things about the character of Xiaobao including some of the most fundamental morals of the character, yet he still managed to very lovable character despite the changes. The main reason is because Dicky Cheung did such wonderful job of portraying a different Wei Xiaobao than the one that we are used to. Dicky's Xiaobao actually has guts, he is rarely scared throughout the entire story. Also, the story itself tries to justify Xiaobao's amazing luck with women, it tries to make it seem that he deserves these women; a futile task if you ask me, but the story nevertheless attempts this. The story actually has the girls follow Xiaobao around for a long time, during which he goes to hell and back for each one of them at least once, before he finally marries them "in name and in action." This, of course, gives Xiaobao some honor that he never ever, ever came close to having in the original story.
