- 22 episodes long.
- In July, there will be location filming in Panyu and Foshan for ten-plus days.
- The story is about Cixi and the death of the emperor. Did he die of illness or was it caused by Cixi?
- The series hopes to, from the perspective of a person involved in medicine, clearly see the encounters and traces of the final two emperors, and how people actually view Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi, talking about the mother-son relationship between Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi.
- Roger Kwok will play an imperial physician who treats Guangxu. He is the emperor's good friend, and is responsible for investigating cases. He is considered a villain, as he will cross the boundaries to investigate the cause of a disease and become entangled in palace struggles.
- Tavia Yeung will play an orthopedic physician among the people. She is a bonesetter who knows martial arts. Her family opens a bone-setting clinic, so she is good at reconnecting dislocated bones and dislocating the bones of bad guys. She and Roger complement each other; from meeting each other to becoming friends, the two also witness the fall of this dynasty. In the beginning, the two have a lot of friction, and they also have different political views. However, during this process, the two also realize the darkness of politics. Should a physician regard saving people and helping those in distress as his or her responsibility? When they encounter the political power struggle, how should they face it and make a decision? She and Roger try to cure JJ, but are unable to do so in the end. Before his status as a married man is revealed, she and Roger are in sync with each other, but in the end, her special identity changes their relationship; this is also the subtle relationship among the three of them. She enters the palace as an orthopedic physician.
- Ngo Ka Nin will play the Guangxu Emperor (光緒), who dies in the final episode. Although he is the emperor, he always gets attacked by his mother, Empress Dowager Cixi; in the end, he is put under house arrest in the Forbidden City.
- JJ Jia will play a muscular dystrophy patient. In her youth, because of an accident, she was left paralyzed on one side of her body, so she is in a wheelchair. Her father saved Roger's father, so he has been promised to take care of her for her entire life. She is Roger's wife.
- Jazz Lam will play Ge Gen (葛根), an imperial bodyguard. He and Tavia are friends who grew up together.
- Helena Law will play Empress Dowager Cixi (慈嬉), who makes people afraid.
- Cheung Wing Hong dates Rainky Wai, his wife is Regen Cheung, and Amy Fan is his secret lover.
- Rebecca will play Consort Zhen (珍妃). She and Ngo Ka Nin have a tragic love story; in the end, the two are put under house arrest in different places, causing her to pull a long face all day.
- Lee Yee Man will play Consort Jin (瑾妃).
- Rainky will play Princess Deling (德齡), who is of Chinese and French descent. She is a Westerner, so she has to speak English. Because Westerners are rather open, she will have many intimate scenes. She has a romantic storyline with Jazz and Cheung Wing Hong.
