A series adaptation of the legendary BL novel Jin Yu Wang Chao (金玉王朝) by renowned author Feng Nong has been announced.
Chai Jidan will serve as executive producer and screenwriter (a director has not yet been announced).
The series will have 96 episodes, each 45 minutes long. Filming is scheduled to begin in May 2026.
The cast will be focused on new, unaffiliated actors to allow for optimal character development.
The novel itself is an epic saga. Set in the Republican era, the protagonist is a young nobleman from a fallen family, heir to a marshal, who is plunged into a power struggle by the tide of the times and the fall of his family. He is cold and arrogant. His antagonist is a powerful leader, cunning and manipulative, obsessed, and a bit twisted (another evil character!).
