Synopsis

Yang Guifei was one of the Four Great Beauties of ancient China. This drama centers around the ups and downs of her love life, the most well-known part of which was shared with Emperor Xuanzong during the later years of his reign. Yang Guifei’s real name was Yang Yuhuan and she was originally betrothed and married to Prince Shou, one of Xuanzong’s numerous sons. However, when Xuanzong saw her, he fell head over heels in love and forced her to divorce Prince Shou. Later he took her as his own imperial consort, thus the name “Yang Guifei.” Although he was a competent emperor at one time, Xuanzong’s obsession with Yang Guifei caused him to neglect court affairs. This eventually led to a power struggle for central control of the government involving An Lushan and Yang Guozhong, both of whom had gained favor and power due to Yang Guifei’s influence. The consequences were dire and Yang Guifei was blamed for the rebellion, forcing Xuanzong to make a painful decision.
