Li Yi Tong and Joseph Zeng's 'The Legend of Rosy Clouds' Sets Premiere Date. The drama narrates the story of Fan Yun, a young lady from a prominent family who lives in poverty, and Qi Zheng, a city lord with a cunning nature beneath his innocent appearance. Through numerous trials and tribulations, they work together for the betterment of the people, ultimately gaining lasting friendship and love while helping Qi Zheng bring peace and reform to the realm.
This ancient-themed drama, adapted from the classic novel 'The Story of Caiyun Kingdom' and directed by Zhu Shao Jie, an expert in period productions, presents a fictional world known as the Caiyun Kingdom. In this era, rigid conventions governed both the imperial court and society, prohibiting women from participating in imperial examinations or serving as officials. Fan Yun, despite her family's distinguished background, lives in poverty and supports herself by running a private school. Recognizing her exceptional abilities, Grand Tutor Xiao offers her a position as imperial consort to assist Qi Zheng.
Qi Zheng, appearing to be an ineffective ruler, is actually a calculating leader who bides his time. Fan Yun utilizes her position to gain insight into court politics, and their partnership evolves into mutual understanding. Driven by Fan Yun's determination, the kingdom undergoes significant reforms, enabling women to participate in civil service examinations. She becomes the first female official after passing the imperial exam and ranks as Tanhua.
The Legend of Rosy Clouds, starring Li Yi Tong and Joseph Zeng, will premiere on June 20 and will be available for streaming on iQIYI and YOUKU.
