Introduction to the Plot Diversity of The Legend of Mi Yue

The play tells the story of Mi Yue, the first female in China's history who was called the "Empress Dowager" and a female politician of Qin State during the Warring States Period.

During the Warring States Period, Mi Yue was Chu Weiwang's favorite little princess, but when Chu Weiwang started the war, her status plummeted. Her mother Xiang was expelled from the palace after Chu Wei and returned to the palace many years later to avenge the disaster. Mi Yue and Huang Xie, the son of Chu, were childhood friends and loved each other very much. In order to elope with Huang Xie, they volunteered to marry Qin as the dowry of Di Fei Mi Zhu.

On the way to the state of Qin, Sanwa and I supported each other. On the way to the state of Qin, the ceremonial car of China and Chu was robbed by the army led by Yi Qu Wang Zhaili. Huang Xie fell into the valley to save Mi Yue, and Sanwa was disheartened. In order to find out who is behind the scenes, Sanwa entered Qin Gong with him.

After Mi Yue gave birth to her son Ying Ji, the initial sisterhood gradually broke down. The philosophers fought for the position, and the king of Qin died without regret. Mi Yue and her son were sent to the distant state of Yan. Unexpectedly, Qin Wuwang lost his life by lifting his feet, and the state of Qin was in chaos. Mi Yue returned to Qin with the military power of Yiqu, and put down the civil strife in Qin. Ying Ji, the son of Qi Yue, became the king of Qin, known as Zhao Xiang in history. Became the first empress dowager in history, known as the Empress Qin.

Drama evaluation

From the perspective of traditional literary criticism, The Legend of Mi Yue is a good drama that has reached a high level, which is higher than most costume dramas at present. In The Legend of Mi Yue, the screenwriter tries to draw structural stories from The Book of Songs, Songs of Chu, Zuo Zhuan and hundreds of classics to shape characters and lines.

At first glance, The Legend of Mi Yue is clumsy, and the characters are even a little cartoon, but it is very attractive, because the plot is always beyond imagination, which just shows that The Legend of Mi Yue has jumped out of modernity, not only wearing clothes and hats, but also approaching the ancients in ideological expression.
