Scarlet Heart (Seasons 1–2)

Scarlet Heart (步步惊心, 2011) is a Chinese historical drama you can watch online on iFILM. Zhang Xiao, a young woman from the 21st century, is pulled back in time after an accident and wakes in the body of Maertai Rouxi, a noblewoman's daughter at the Qing imperial court during Emperor Kangxi's reign.

Liu Shi Shi leads the cast opposite Wu Qilong. Stranded in the 18th century with no way back, Zhang Xiao learns to navigate a world where one wrong move ends badly: rival princes scheming for succession, strict court hierarchy, alliances that shift overnight. The series adapts the novel by Tong Hua and draws on real historical figures from Kangxi's reign — the romance plays out against actual political conflicts, which gives the story more weight than most time-slip dramas manage.
