Synopsis:
About the life of Sun Ruowei, who was a virtuous empress during her reign.
After filming “Biography of Emperor Sun Ruo Wei of Daming” by Tang Wei, she began to study etiquette seriously, and found out many classic costume dramas, and carefully observed the characters in the play. In order to play the role of the play well, Tang Wei prepared before the filming, including learning the history and culture of the Ming Dynasty and the pronunciation of various lines.
Sun Ruowei entire family is killed on the orders of the Yongle Emperor in 1402, though she escapes death after being secretly adopted by Sun Zhong. Sun Ruowei becomes the concubine of crown prince Zhu Zhanji by chance, and continues to investigate the truth behind her family’s death.
However, Sun Ruowei decides to abandon her revenge plans after realising how dangerous it would be to destabilise the court for her own personal goals. Touched by Zhu Zhanji’s kindness, Sun Ruowei resolves to become a virtuous empress who can support him in times of hardship. Unfortunately Zhu Zhanji passes away after a decade on the throne, and Sun Ruowei is honoured as Empress Dowager once her 7 year old Zhu Qizhen ascends the throne. Source: cfensi.wordpress
