Plot
The sudden death of the young Shunzhi Emperor (Sunny Chan) shocked the whole kingdom. The second prince, Fuquan (Kenneth Ma), was originally the successor for the throne, but Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang (Ching) changed the successor to the third prince, Xuanye, who subsequently becomes the Kangxi Emperor (Chan). Angry with this, Fuquan dispatchs a spy, Nip Dor-po (Steven Ma), and instructs him to gain Kangxi’s trust.
Truth be told – I don’t like period dramas – but some of them can be really good – and I can’t say much about this one yet of course. So follow the birdie and leave a comment for the synopsis daily – or come yak with us – and share you opinion of the shows.
