Synopsis

 

Born into the prestigious "Red" family, Hong Xiu Li, despite being the eldest legitimate daughter, lived a life of poverty with her father, Hong Shao Kai, and a mysterious man named Zi Jing Lan, whom her father had taken in during his early years. Having experienced turmoil and understanding the suffering of the people, she, as a girl, couldn't participate in the imperial examination to become an official. Therefore, she pinned her dreams on her children and became a teacher in a private school. The astute Prime Minister Xiao, with keen judgment, enticed Hong Xiuli with a high reward to enter the palace as a noble consort and help the current king, Zi Liu Hui. Zi Liu Hui pretended to be a weak ruler but was actually waiting for his exiled brother, Prince Qing Yuan, to return and take the throne in his place. However, after meeting Hong Xiu Li, he was moved by her wisdom and dedication. He began to diligently handle state affairs and revised the laws to allow women to participate in the imperial examination. Hong Xiu Li excelled in the examination and became the first female official in the Kingdom of Caiyun. She was appointed as a provincial governor. With her efforts, wisdom, strength, and bravery, she quelled rebellions in various states, ushering in an unprecedented era of prosperity and also finding love along the way. (Source: cpophome / Mydramalist.

The only thing  a bit confusing is the new names. When I find a complete list with "new" names vs the japanese character names I will update this post.

 

So far: 

 

Shi Ryuuki - Chinese name Qi Zheng - played by Josep Zeng

Kou Shuurei - Chinese name Fan Yun - Li Yi Tong

Sa Sakujun - Chinese name Zheng Shi - Deng Wei (this will be very interesting!) He will be the seductive "bad guy" obsessed with the FL. 

Shi Seiran (lost brother of the emperor) - Chinese name Gao Ran played by Riley Wang

Ran Jyuusan - Chinese name Wei Shi San - played by Dai Lu Wa

How will Deng Wei portray Sa Sakujun / Zheng Shi? I hope the writers didn't turn this character "grey"

 

Sakujun x Shuurei

@MayanEcho Have you seen the anime Saiunkoku Monogatari? A live action Cdrama is coming up. Perhaps you'd like to add it to your ever growing "too watch list"  

 

@rocher22 @omiki @hush puppy @chichaYou will recognise some character from Lost You Forever. Jing (Deng Wei) will play a very interesting role... the complete opposite of TSJ.

I haven't, though at first glance I thought it was Miyaka of Fushigi Yuugi 😅

[SilverDawn]

Oh really? I liked FY   Shuurei is a much stronger FL than Miyaka though. 

Both seasons of the anime can be easily found online; check it out when you find the time  

 

 

[newrocher22]

the trailer is interesting but I only recognized Dang Wei. His character and the ML look strong and smart.

0:44...I already love them.

@newrocher22 Dai Lu wa  (A Nian in Lost you Froever)  will be part of this drama
