This is an earlier Zanilia Zhao drama, where she constantly reminded me of Jang Na ra.
Anyway, Zanilia played Lu Zhen, a young girl who was very capable, patient, and methodical and with a good heart.
She saved a young man from a near-death occurrence, not knowing that he was the Prince of the Northern Qi dynasty.
Anyway, the story is more straightforward than the Princess Agents. It tells the rise to power from a mere palace maid to the first female Prime Minister of the kingdom.
She also got her man in the end, however, she did not get the title of his Empress because of circumstances that were foisted upon her.
The drama is very watchable and the gorgeous actor Chen Xiao played Gao Zhan so affectingly.
Again, a lovely drama of 59 episodes.
I know I have not had a good or enough night’s sleep for ages because of these long dramas. They are so addictive.
