Synopsis

Set in the late Tang Dynasty during Emperor Wenzong’s rule, the court was ruled by powerful eunuchs. Tang Wenzong and Wang Ya, Li Xun, Zheng Zhu and others set up a plan in an attempt to slaughter the eunuch Chou Shiliang, but unfortunately failed. The prime minister, Wang Ya, had his entire clan sentenced to death, but only two granddaughters escaped. The younger Sister was adopted by Shanggong Yuxi of the Ziyi Bureau and renamed Cheng Ruoyu; while the older sister was adopted as Chou Shiliang’s god-daughter and renamed Chou Yanzhi. Seven years later, the new emperor Li Yan ascended the throne and launched the Ziyi Bureau against Qiu Shiliang. As a result, the two sisters was finally able to reunite, but both did not recognize each other. In pursuit of Wen Zong’s edict, the two sisters became deathly rivals. When she knew that the person she had been framing was actually her sister, Yan Zhi decided to sacrifice herself to save her sister. In the end, Cheng Ruoyu helped Li Yan eradicate Chou Shiliang. After Li Yan’s death, Li Chen assumed the throne, and was determined to work hard to rejuvenate the Tang Dynasty.
