The Story of Ming Lan

2018 73 episodes Dragon TV / CCTV 8 Romance Historical Drama Comedy Slice Of Life Prime Video Viki

Ming Lan is a nobleman's sixth daughter by a concubine — technically part of a powerful family, actually invisible in it. She learned early to hide her intelligence, choose her battles, and wait. When she finally enters the marriage market, she has no interest in playing by the rules she's spent years pretending to obey. A rich, slow-burning historical drama about a woman who chose survival and discovered that winning on society's terms is its own kind of cage.
