The Story of Ming Lan, based on the novel written by Guan Xin Ze Luan, follows our heroine through her youth, into her adulthood, and well into her marriage life as well. She’s the 6th child of the Sheng household. Though she is an intelligent and beautiful child, she was not loved by her family (her dad, her sisters, her mom dies early.) She has to hide her intelligence and suffers through the years, hoping to avenge for her mom. During this process she will meet many friends and foes, one of which is our male lead, Gu’s second son, Gu Ting Ye. He has helped and mistreated her before, but also the one to witness her sharp wits and lonely soul. After they get married, they will work together as a power couple, managing the new King’s regime as well as harvesting a world of happiness on their own.

No one is burned alive, but one of the characters dies IN a fire at the end of the show. Meaning, she passes out and dies before the fire reaches her.

Characters are regularly told that things didn't happen the way they actually did, or to stop talking about it. Characters are also made to feel that they're wrong for having normal reactions to things. The common stuff in this genre.

No, but sometimes there's some lighthearted sexual tension such as a husband and wife getting into the same bed for the night or teasing each other. Also, there is mention of getting men concubines, obviously so they can have sex with them
