Legend of Lu Zhen
The story centres on the rise of Lu Zhen (Zhao Liying) from a mere lady-in-waiting to prime minister during the Northern Qi dynasty.When Lu Zhen is acquitted, her stepmother arranges to marry her off as a concubine to an old man so that she can seize the family assets.Through Gao Zhan's connection, Lu Zhen entered the palace to become a maid, with the aim to rise to a sixth rank female official so that she could appeal to the supreme court to re-investigate her father's murder.Amidst the constant scheming between Prince Zhan and Empress Lou in the fight to claim the throne, Lu Zhen managed to gain the emperor's support and rise through the ranks with her hard work, intelligence, and luck.Gao Zhan instead conferred her the title of prime minister upon his ascension, which is the highest position in the court so that she could best exercise her talent and aid him in ruling the country.
