Description

: "The Legend of Zhuohua" is directed by Wen Deguang, known for his work on "Story of Yanxi Palace." It stars Jing Tian, renowned for her role in "The Great Wall," and Feng Shaofeng, who led in "Pegasus." Wang Likun, from "The Yinyang Master," makes a special appearance, while Zhou Yiran, the lead of "Falling Into Your Smile," takes on a starring role. This historical and inspirational drama is adapted from the novel "Once Flourishing" by Sui Yu'e. The story follows the journey of Mo Zhuohua (played by Jing Tian), a determined female official who breaks free from traditional female destinies, faces countless challenges, and strives to seek a government position through her scholarly pursuits. She crosses paths with Liu Yan (played by Feng Shaofeng), a valiant warrior and wise statesman who is resolute in upholding honor, righteousness, and protecting the nation's interests. Together, they forge a deep bond, overcoming initial mutual manipulation driven by personal motives, and evolve into legendary figures dedicated to safeguarding their realm. Mo Zhuohua, born of a lesser status, defies the confines of antiquated customs. Her journey begins with escaping a forced marriage and venturing to the capital to pursue a career. The narrative depicts her resilience on the path to advancement, even amid the adversities of the battlefield, and highlights the unwavering determination of Liu Yan, a warrior who endures pain and injustice to cleanse his honor. Their relationship evolves from an initial utilitarian alliance into a captivating saga of joint guardianship and unwavering commitment, marking a groundbreaking era where women can also hold official positions within the imperial court. The series is set to premiere on August 19th and will be available for streaming on the international platform of iQIYI (iQ.com).
