A Majesty and His Chess Game Strategy

Stand by Me….
A emotional and deep storyline that based on the chess game strategy by Majesty to control his throne.

▫️Main Point
~ A young Emperor who being controlled by Eunuchs and determined to keep his throne and revenge for his late Emperor and teacher.
~ A Sword Bearer who swear to stand together with the Emperor to help him revenge and protect his throne.

▫️Short Synopsis
From the late Emperor to the young Emperor, Qi Yan were controlled by Eunuchs who take much powered in administration and management of the Tang Dynasty. Qi Yan who have much burdens and struggle to leave from being controlled by Eunuch. He wants to get the revenge for his brother, the late Emperor who being killed by Eunuch and also save his throne from Eunuch’s control. Later he met Cheng Ruoyue as she was appointed as Sword Bearer to protect him from being killed. Then Qi Yan was attracted to Cheng Ruo as she always trust him and followed him even he do many bad things in the past in order to get the throne. Even though Cheng Ruoyue needs to protect him as her duties but Qi Yan felt that he needs to protect her. He always want to send Cheng Ruoyue far away to keep a distance from him in order to protect her. But Cheng Ruoyue disobey by continuing to stay beside him. A lot of conflicts happened since the Emperor and Eunuch quarel to each other to get the power.

▫️Characters Intro
~ Cheng Yi was handsome and talent guy. He was good in acting the character of Qi Yan. I could see his determination and ability in acting. I salute him for his betterment in acting.
~ Zhang Yuxi, I knew her before when watching My Little Princess and Intense Love. She was pretty, cute and lovely. She also good in acting as Cheng Ruoyue. She can portrayed the character as the same in the novel. They both have a very good in chemistry. I loved to see their romance even they still not showed it until now but I could see how much Qin Yan loved Cheng Ruoyue. For the other casts, they are all good. They have their own point of character to show to us.

▫️Overall
The drama has a lot of conflicts and obstacles happened between His Majesty and Eunuchs’s people. In order to win the game, His Majesty used a lot of strategies and many people died including Cheng Ruoyue’s sister Yan Zhi. Finally, Qi Yan successful in his strategy by killing Eunuch’s leader, Qiu Zhiliang. He was so happy since he can reduce the power of Eunuch’s people and win the game. But he was in bad condition and had no choice but to give his throne to his uncle, Prince Guang in order to rule the palace.

Even though Qi Yan and Yu’er did not get to stay together and married as a legal couple but they’re still able to date in the market before Qi Yan passed away.

Yu’er able to live in a freedom and simple life. She open the noodle store and become an independent person. The meaning of her smile before the drama was ended was indeed mysterious but I can feel she was so happy….
