This is the BEST historical drama that I have watched, very motivating, full of positive energy and good fighting spirit. It remind you that you need to have DREAMS to be a better person. A very touching story of a young talented and kind hearted girl who never give up even when she is in the most difficult situation. Her believe of staying positive and never give up motivated herself to achieve her dreams. She work all the way up to become the only lady who can attend the parliament which are occupied by males in the olden days. She is the 1st Lady Prime Minister. She was salute and respected by all with her kindness, intelligence, achievement and business talent both in pottery and silk creation which make China proud today. Lu Zhen love story was very touching and never smooth as she in love with the King. She never give up even in the worst situation. The actress Zhao Li Ying acting in this drama is very good and I started to watch her drama since. This drama was voted best in year 2013. All the cast acting are good, beautiful scenery and colourful costumes. No wonder the rating is so high. I have rewatch this drama 2 times and I still rewatch whenever I need positive energy to motivate myself.
