Maggie Cheung Ho-yee
In September 2011, Sheh announced her withdrawal from the cast because she was tied to filming "Legend of Yuan Empire Founder". However, it was announced in April 2012 that Sheh would return in a guest role. Maggie Cheung Ho-yee, who was slated to return, also withdrew because she already signed a deal to film "Nu Xiang" (女相). In October 2011, Tang and Chan has signed to return. Ada Choi, who was originally considered for a role in the original serial, was announced to join the cast. In 2002, Choi filmed a promotional trailer for "War and Beauty", which was unveiled at TVB's "2003 Sales Presentation". However, due to other filming commitments, she had to withdraw.
