Palace of Desire

Synopsis

Inside the Daming Palace, power and family are the same weapon. Wu Zetian claws her way to the dragon throne while her daughter, Princess Taiping — played as a girl by a luminous young Zhou Xun — grows up in the shadow of the court, loved, used, and finally consumed by the same ambition. Lyrical, theatrical, and ruthless: the full 40-episode version of one of the most acclaimed Chinese historical dramas ever made.
