The Palace of the Emperor: At the height of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial palace is home to three palaces and six courts, with three thousand beauties in the harem. The emperor’s beloved children are the Third Prince, Nangong Jue, and the Fourth Princess, Nangong Wan. From childhood, Nangong Jue has been learned and talented, making him one of the princes the emperor most trusts as a future ruler. Nangong Wan is the most sensible of all the princesses.
Nangong Jue loves the water towns of Jiangnan and traveling across the land. He hates being cooped up in the palace and longs to see the world outside. Nangong Wan, on the other hand, loves the palace and enjoys managing state affairs. She has no desire to venture beyond its walls. The emperor refuses to let Nangong Wan govern and insists that Nangong Jue take charge instead. Nangong Jue refuses, even at the risk of death, rejecting his father’s request and insisting on roaming the martial world with his beloved Yuxin. Nangong Wan, determined to gain the authority to govern, insists that her beloved Fu’an take charge of state affairs. In the end, Nangong Jue and Yuxin return to the Tang Dynasty and successfully take charge of the imperial court together.
Starring: Nangong Jue, Yuxin, Nangong Wan, Fu’an.
