Yan Yangchun (2019)

Very similar storyline, drama's setting also based on almost the same era at the very end of Qing Dynasty which was the most corrupted time. Also storyline is related to a strong character lady that lead thru the hard time.

For side reference understanding about Qing dynasty, this The Last Emperor movie is a shortcut but real story about the life of the last emperor Pu Yi of the Qing / Manchurian dynasty. Can either watch this 3 hours movie that tells the whole tale of the last emperor or watch the 60 episodes drama also with the same drama title.

For further understand the life of the last emperor Pu Yi and the corrupted court. This is a long version story of the last emperor the drama, with 60 episodes. If you want a shorter version, the last emperor has the movie.
