A celebrated woman who has been the subject of many novels and cultural works, Liu E (969-1033) earned the admiration of Zhao Heng -- the prince who was later crowned as Emperor Zhenzong -- at a young age. With her wit and insights into handling court affairs, Liu E became the regent after Emperor Zhenzong died in 1022 and then launched her 11-year-long regime, laying the foundation for her adopted son, Emperor Renzong, to establish the heyday of the Song Dynasty.
Director Li Shaohong reveals the drama was shot in Zhejiang province's Hengdian World Studios, the largest film and television production base in China.
