Tang Wei will be playing as Sun Ruowei, a lone survivor of her family that was killed entirely by the orders of the Yongle Emperor.

Zhu Yawen (Across the Ocean to See You) plays Crown Prince Zhu Zhanji, the love interest of our female lead. It’s supposed to be easy for Ruowei to get revenge for the tragedy that her family has met, but things would become harder as her husband is the son of her family’s murderer. He is known to be loving and caring to Sun Ruowei, which would make her question whether to continue her plans of avenging her family’s death or not.

Just like many other Chinese historical dramas, all stories of the characters may be connected one way or another. With a star-studded cast headlining the drama and having complex relationships with each other, the relationship web becomes even more complicated with a stellar supporting cast. 
 
I must admit that I have yet to watch many other historical C-dramas, but plots that contain revenge and tragedy always seem to appeal to me. They are the type that keeps you on your feet and makes you play the next episode mindlessly. It’s also a good selling point for historical drama newbies like me that Tang Wei’s Sun Ruowei is actually based on a real person in history. If that’s the case, we might just be checking our world history books again after collecting some dust over the years.
Release Date: December 17, 2019 Hunan TV (two episodes daily at 8pm), Youku (released online at 10pm)
