[Drama Info]
Directed by Gao Yi Jun. The man has one of the most cursed release luck. The joke when hie The Princess Royal aired just 5 months after wrapping was that it had to speedily air before it joins his shelf collection. He's been filming non-stop but his dramas just can't be seen.
- Jade Lover 翡翠戀人 has been collecting dust since 2016 because of Lee Jong-suk (during the Korean ban) and then the cancelled Zheng Shuang.
- Win the World has been stuck since 2017 because of Fan Bing Bing (tax evasion). This also has Peter Ho.
- Huan Xi Sha 浣溪沙 starring Tong Li Ya and Chen Du Ling wrapped around 2020 and has remained unreleased for reasons never officially clarified.
- Su Ji 蘇記 starring Li Lan Di and Zhu Zheng Ting has been waiting since 2021.
- Youth in the Flames of War (Wang He Di and Zhou Ye) sat for a long time before finally airing as well. It was thanks to the explosive popularity of Wang He Di at that time.
Screenwriter is Wu Meng Zhang. Uhoh. Really uhoh. He's behind The Song of Glory and A Beautiful Lie, and this one is an original story rather than an adaptation.
Reunions for Hou Ming Hao. With Ai Mi from Fangs of Fortune. With Wang Yi Lun, also Fangs, but also Back From the Brink. Let's hope he's less problematic of a 2ML.
Age gap. 11-year age gap. This is Ai Mi's first FL drama, and she's so young! She's only just turning 18 two days after the drama premieres (birthday: July 13, 2008). Meanwhile, Hou Ming Hao is 29 this year. They filmed this last year, which means Ai Mi wasn't even 18 while filming.
A bit on Tao Xin Ran / Empress Dowager. She got a bit of a boost from Sister Makes Waves 2026 / Ride the Waves. Even though she got eliminated pretty early.
Filming wrapped on November 5, 2025.

Happy.

The queens
The king.
He might never lift his bum, but don't count him out completely.
He's not stupid!
The parents
The servants
The horse
Everyone
Last but not least, these two.
