The Commoner Emperor

The story takes place during the Qianlong (played by Zhang Tielin) period of the Qing Dynasty. Hong Li (played by Zhang Guoli), a charlatan, became the emperor's stand-in because he looked very much like Qianlong. And because he cured the heartache of the Queen Mother (played by Yan Minqiu) for many years, the Queen Mother and Qianlong admired him very much, and asked him to pretend to be the emperor for a private visit to the south. Because He Shen (played by Wang Gang) who accompanied him on his private visit attacked loyal ministers and amassed money crazily, Hong Li confronted him in the name of the emperor. Qianlong was furious when a leaflet about Qianlong's Ten Crimes suddenly appeared. He ordered a thorough investigation. Later, he accidentally met Li Butao, the craftsman who printed the leaflet, and the two became close friends. Hong Liyin accidentally discovered the mystery of the life experience of Heshen's adopted daughter Dragonfly (played by Jia Jingwen), and he and Heshen formed a relationship from then on. In order to investigate the local tax case, Qianlong took the initiative to go undercover in the theater troupe. After several battles of wits and courage, the truth was finally revealed.
