Following the international success of Story of Yanxi Palace 延禧攻略, executive producer Yu Zheng is back with another historical drama. The Legend of Hao Lan 皓镧传 is a 45-episode drama set in the palaces of the Warring States Era and follows a woman who will become the mother of Qin Shi Huang.
Towards the end of the Warring States Era, the States of Qin and Zhao were engaged in a long-drawn battle. Li Hao Lan (Wu Jinyan) who is the daughter of the Public Censor of Zhao is forced out of her own home after being setup by her stepmother. Having nothing to her name, she is sold as a slave and purchased by Lü Buwei (Nie Yuan).
Lü Buwei gifts Li Hao Lan to Ying Yiren (Mao Zijun), a Qin royal that resides in Zhao as a hostage. Li Hao Lan and Lü Buwei's arrival into the Zhao palace ignites a dangerous battle as they rely on their intelligence to evade the schemes plotted by Gongzhu Ya (Karina Hai Ling).
The drama is a mini-reunion for Story of Yanxi Palace with Yu Zheng behind the scenes and Wu Jinyan and Nie Yuan still as the leads. They are joined by Mao Zijun and a complicated love triangle forms among the three. We're already quite sure which OTP will prevail as history has stated that Li Haolan will marry the future King.
Other casts include Ning Jing, Wang Zhifei, Tan Zhuo, Wang Maolei, He Jiayi, Wang Lin, Hai Ling, Hong Yao, Zhang Nan, He Fengtian, Zhao Yiqin, Wang Yu, Thomas Tong Mengshi. With the loathsome Consort Gao and Eunuch Yuan from the hit summer drama also in the character lineup, will the ratings follow?
