"Returning the Pearl: The Legend of Yongzhi" tells the legendary life of Yongzhi, the fourth daughter of Qianlong and his concubine, a princess who was loved by thousands of people.
Yongzhi is not an ordinary delicate princess. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her skills in horseback riding and archery are as good as those of men. However, she is only bad at making desserts. This lovely contrast makes her more real. In the palace, she formed a deep friendship with Xiao Yanzi and Ziwei, and experienced many interesting things and disturbances together.
As she meets Xiao Jian, a knight-errant with a family feud, Yongzhi's heart ripples. Xiao Jian went from silent protection to affectionate confession. Amidst the differences in identity and numerous obstacles, the relationship between the two has been tested. During this period, Yongzhi witnessed the persistent love between Hanxiang and Mengdan, and participated in the planning to help Hanxiang fake his death and leave the palace; he also experienced escapes caused by palace struggles, and even encountered life and death tests such as blindness.
On the way to escape, everyone supported each other, and the relationship between Yong Zhi and Xiao Jian became stronger. In the end, the misunderstanding was resolved and everyone returned to the palace. Yongzhi resolved the crisis with wisdom and kindness, not only interceding for the queen, but also facilitating the marriage between Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi. And she herself gained happiness. After the grand wedding with Xiao Jian, she lived a life full of love and warmth in the palace and the world, and wrote a legendary chapter that belongs to her.
