The Story of Ming Lan (Season 1)

"The Story of Ming Lan" (2018) is a Chinese historical drama you can watch online on iFILM. Sheng Minglan is the sixth daughter of a noble family — born to a concubine, which means no standing and no one in her corner. She learned early to keep her intelligence quiet, because every time she showed it, it was used against her.

Behind that careful mask is someone who watches, calculates and waits. When Gu Tingye enters her life — an aristocrat carrying his own difficult history — the bond they build is less about romance and more about two people who understand how the game works. Starring Zhao Liying and Feng Shaofeng across 73 episodes, the series follows Minglan from a powerless childhood to a position at the center of court life.
