The chinese drama "Serenade of Peaceful Joy" 《清平乐》that originally derived from A Chinese novel "Held In a Lonely Castle" 《孤城闭》by Milan Lady, the novel tells a story of a Song Dynasty Princess, Princess Fukang and her Eunuch. In the drama however the producer have put a focus during time Emperor Renzhong (played by Wang Kai) of Song reign. The drama begin with young Emperor Renzhong that just ascend the throne who is still under the supervision of Empress Dowager Liu E, finds out that his biological mother is not Empress Dowager but her maid from Li family. He starts to slowly rebel against Empress Dowager and trying to compensate his Biological mother family as he aren't able to be filial to his biological mother until her death. In the drama they also told story of Emperor Renzhong families and servants. Royal Family; Empress Cao (palayed by Jiang Shuying), Lady Miao (played by Xu Lingyue), Noble Consort Zhang (Played by Wang Churan), Princess Fukang (Played by Ren Min) and the Li Family. Servants; Eunuch Zhang (played by Ye Zhuxin) and Eunuch Liang (Played by Bian Cheng). Personally, I like the part of Princess Fukang, Zhao Huirou and Eunuch Liang Huaiji story better, their story are able to be considered as childhood friend to lover type. Which is really adorable and sweet if it's not for situation they are in, a Princess and Eunuch. Princess Fukang, Zhao Huirou is doted and protected since young by the Emperor Renzhong, Empress Cao and Her biological mother, Lady Miao. While Liang Huaiji, he was sold to the palace at only 10 years old by his aunt for money when his family is taking refuge in relative house. Anyway, you can really see their growth and dependent on each other as they grow older with more responsibility to take on. Especially with Emperor Renzhong guilt to his biological mother, where he is unable to be filial to her when she is alive. He planned to have Huirou marry Li Wei, a child from his mother's sibling, and into the Li family as "compensation". And that's all I will say, I won't spoil further as you really have to watch to understand their dynamics. Just look at their promotional poster below and tell me if you don't want to know their story! Other than the plot and story, personally i am also really love the preparation they did for the drama, pretty much follows the original history recorded during Emperor Renzhong reign, from as big as important Political/Educational Figure to the smallest accessories worn by royals family as well as custom during the Song Dynasty. If you are like me who is into all this, you will definitely love the drama from this aspect as well!
You can watch the drama from Tencent's or WeTV's Official Youtube Channel to watch or you can go to their apps to watch as well. Hope you Enjoy the Drama!
