The Princess Royal

2024 40 episodes iQiyi / Netflix Romance Historical Drama Political Netflix

The most powerful princess in the empire has survived everything the court has thrown at her — assassination attempts, political marriages, rivals who underestimated her until it was too late. What she hasn't survived is Pei Wenxuan: the loyal, principled imperial guard who has protected her for years and who she has spent those same years systematically not thinking about. A royal romance about a woman who has so much power she's forgotten how to want something for herself, and a man who would hand her the world if she asked and is quietly devastated that she hasn't. Political intrigue, palace scheming, and a slow burn so thoroughly developed it redefines the term.
