Liu Fang

Centers around the legend of Princess Huanzhu during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

The life of an intelligent and kind woman who becomes a concubine of the inner court whose love for the people enables her to do great things for the country.

Xiao Cao is a young orphan living with her cruel aunt and uncle. She has a sisterly bond with her neighbour, Qing Qing, who is being forced into a marriage with a much older man by her older brother. Desperate to escape their unfortunate circumstances, the two girls manage to run away together on the day of Qing Qing's wedding. During their escape they coincidentally meet He Shiwei, a young university student who is also running away from his family due to an arranged marriage. After a few initial misunderstandings the three decide to travel together. However, things become complicated when they encounter the Fu family, and the family matriarch mistakes He Shiwei for her son, Fu Yuankai, who died 10 years ago.

Ling Xiao, a wealthy heir, chooses to build his future on his own rather than relying on his family. He falls for Wei Wei, but their love faces strong opposition from his family. Meanwhile, his friend Tan Yue falls for his supervisor, Chen Qianqian, who is only interested in getting closer to Ling Xiao. At the same time, Ling Xiao’s cousin, Zhao Zhennan, also develops feelings for Wei Wei. As love, ambition, and family pressures collide, each must find their own way forward.
