Palace of Devotion, a 61-episode costume drama recounting the legendary life of Liu E, a low-born orphan-turned queen and wife of the third emperor in the Song Dynasty (960-1279), has recently run on three of the country's most popular streaming platforms, respectively iQiyi, Tencent and Youku, since March 20.
Starring A-list actress Liu Tao as the queen and actor Vic Chou as the emperor, the show -- which adds some fictional elements -- chronicles the royal couple's decadeslong effort to establish a peaceful and prosperous country.
