Synopsis
Owing to the destitution during their youth, LI LIAN-YING (Wayne Lai) and AN DE-HAI (Raymond Cho) have presented themselves as eunuchs in the court, where they serve their apprenticeship with an old eunuch LAU DOR-SANG (Chung King Fai). Having closely bonded to one another, the two respectively played dominant roles during the rule of Empress Dowager CIXI (Michelle Yim). However, unlike DE-HAI’s single-minded obsession with greed, LIAN-YING overcautiously abides by the rules, gradually diverging from the former. In view of them gaining recognition from CIXI, the Head Eunuch CHAN FOK (Yueh Hua) resorts to strike treachery against LIAN-YING and DE-HAI, feeling that his position is threatened. Fortunately, with the help of his two close friends, a palace maid SIN-YUNG (Nancy Wu) and a eunuch of the Imperial Dispensary YIU SHEUNG-HEI (Raymond Wong), LIAN-YING manages to avert the disaster. With the Emperor TONGZHI (Oscar Leung) conferring the throne on his Empress, Empress Dowager CIAN (Maggie Shiu) fears that CIXI will further wield power. She then colludes with Prince GONG (Cheung Kwok Keung) to sow discords among the court, isolating CIXI. In the face of such ever-changing phenomena, only LIAN-YING firmly stands his ground on the motto of “A servant is no more than a servant”, remaining as CIXI’s loyal attendant.……

Woot, finally coming out! Wayne and Michelle should put on a good show 😀 Hope the plot/script is good…
Looking forward to this too!! Wayne and Michelle are both great actors! Can’t wait 🙂
The moment when the Empress is being a princess… lol.
Looking forward to this a lot! Love the cast (don’t mind Aimee’s acting much anymore) and Selena is guest starring! Yay ~
Oops! I meant “The moment when the Empress is behind a princess…lol.”
I just watched the first 2 episodes and I quite like it (prefer this over [Silver Spoon Sterling Shackles]. I like watching the friendship/bond between Wayne and the other servants under Selena’s household, with Raymond Wong and also his brotherhood with Raymond Cho. Looking forward to seeing more of this!
finally it is here…had been anticipating for this series for a while…^_^
omg selena’s acting here is so good. wish she was a regular =[
Haven’t watched This series but everyone said this series is very good and a lot better than Silver Spoons. Fans was telling me to skip Silver Spoons and watch The Confidant. Many fans skipped Silver Spoons for The Confidant.
