Synopsis

During the Southern Sung Dynasty, Prince CHIU KWAI-SHING (Pierre Ngo) and Prince CHIU KWAI-WO (Chris Lai) are rival brothers and they both covet the throne of the kingdom. As their strategic advisors, Chancellor YU CHING (Wayne Lai) and Chancellor TUNG CHIU (Kent Cheng) are long-time family friends as well as peer mentors. Unexpectedly, YU CHING’s father YU POK-MAN (Cheung Kwok Keung) courts disaster by making an indiscreet remark. Following the confiscation of their property, the family falls apart. YU CHING loses contact with both his younger brother YU TSING (Patrick Tang) and younger sister YU JING (Natalie Tong). Being deceived, YU TSING has become a eunuch suffering humiliation. YU JING, who experiences amnesia, has been adopted by YIM SAM-LEUNG (Kristal Tin), a daughter of a gang leader. Misconstruing that TUNG CHIU has betrayed his father for pursuing private ends, YU CHING joins force with the treacherous minister YEUNG CHI-SHAN (Lee Kwok Lun) against him. As the rivalry intensifies, both open strife and veiled struggle comes to light. A battle between King Makers sparks off a chain of startling events imbued with aggression, deceitfulness and malevolence.

南宋宮中兩大陣營,大王子趙貴誠(敖嘉年)及二王子趙貴和(黎諾懿)皆覬覦帝位。負責獻計的左右丞相余靖(黎耀祥)和董昭(鄭則士)本為世交,亦師亦友,但余靖父親余博文(張國強)因功高蓋主失言而招來抄家之禍,與弟余清(鄧健泓)及妹余晴(唐詩詠)從此失散,弟弟被騙入宮做太監受盡凌辱,妹妹失憶幸得漕幫幫主之女嚴三娘(田蕊妮)收養,余靖更誤以為董昭為一己私利出賣父親,與董昭反目成仇,不惜投靠大奸臣楊次山(李國麟),兩派勢成水火,展開連番明爭暗鬥。一場造王之戰,連場朝廷殺戮、爾虞我詐、幕幕觸目驚心……

    I remember hearing about this series sometime last year and is looking forward to seeing it! the series looks promising. The main appeal is the time period, and of course, Wayne Lai! =) I have complete faith his acting. While I have never really been a fan of Kent, I’m expecting there to be lots of good scenes between the two

  • Cammie says:

    I love this time period too! Sounds like a great storyline and great cast overall. Can not wait!

  • Magic says:

    This series is great so far! It’s really interesting and the acting is great.

  • Madeline says:

    Just finished watching the first 8 episodes and I can’t even take my eyes off of every scene in this drama. It’s really that good..

  • JacJac says:

    I heard from many fans that this drama is a must watch and really good. Even their praises couldn’t get me into starting this drama. -_-.

  • Jcacp says:

    such a good show! with the worst last 5 episodes. super intense and super depressing, didn’t even know whether to be mad or sad at the ending!

  • Ongki says:

    Anyone have the theme song?

  • Pinky says:

    I’M LIKE …SO IN LOVE WITH PIERRE AND NATALIE IN HERE SO MUCH!!!
    After watching this, i became an addict and then….I remembered that they were once a pair in the Comeback Clan. But Pierre was the villian and Sammul and Natalie were the main pairings.
    I went to rewatch it and OMG….IM OBSESSED!

    • KTVB says:

      hahah =) That’s good to here lol I think they are a refreshing couple although they didn’t capure much of my attention. Fallen in love with Krystal and Wayne though! XD It’s great to see Wayne pairing up so well with another actress other than Sheren Tang!

  • KTVB says:

    A series with lots of potential 🙂

    Strong performance from Wayne, Kent and Kristal.
    Loved Wayne and Kristal’s pairing in the series! She’s so cool- constantly thinking she could replace Sheren Tang in Rosy Business, or it could have been played by Sheren. Great chemistry between these two characters- they are so compatible with each other!

    A highlight was seeing Wayne, Natalie and Patrick reunite!

    Patrick’s role is also quite likeable
