The Legend of Mi Yue

The Legend of Mi Yue is a Chinese television series helmed by Zheng Xiaolong that was released in 2015 and is based on Jiang Shengnan's eponymous historical novel. Sun Li plays the title character, Mi Yue. From 30 November 2015 to 9 January 2016, the series broadcast two episodes each day on Beijing TV and Dragon TV.

This is a narrative of Mi Yue, the first stateswoman and Queen Dowager in Chinese history. Mi Yue was a young princess who lived during the Warring States period in the Kingdom of Chu. Her youth was hardly pleasant, having witnessed her mother fall prey to the Queen of Chu's intrigues. Nonetheless, she had close relationships with her sister, Mi Shu, and her father, King Wei. She was subsequently taken to Qin as a concubine as part of her sister's dowry, which separated her from her first love, Huang Xie. Mi Yue wins King Ying Si's favor and gives birth to a son named Ying Ji. This incites jealousy in Mi Shu, Wei Yan, the queen, and the other concubines.

After King Ying Si dies, Ying Dang becomes his heir. Mi Yue is sent to the State of Yan as an ambassador (banishment) with her son Ying Ji. However, King Ying Dang dies unexpectedly after lifting weights, leaving Qin in a state of anarchy as Ying Si's sons vie for the throne. Mi Yue enlists the "barbarian" Yiqu army's assistance in successfully returning to Qin, crushing political revolts, and installing her son Ying Ji on the throne.
