Synopsis :
Imperial Household Bureau is responsible for managing and directing all household services to the Emperor and the Imperial family in Tong Dynasty. It is comprised of four departments, namely Jewels, Attire, Food and Furnishings. Lau Sam Ho and Yiu Kam Ling are introduced into the bureau in their tender age and brought up in the disciplines of the palace. The two girls are diligent. Yuen Tsui Wan, Head of the Jewels, and Chung Suet Ha, Head of the Attire, are both very fond of Sam Ho for she is a kind-hearted young girl. Soon, they start fighting for the fellowship of Sam Ho.
Sam Ho always remembers her mother’s words left to her before she passed away, that she was told, ‘Doing good deeds, speaking good words and showing goodwill’. She lives her life of being gracious and kind-hearted in the palace. On the other hand Kam Ling believes her survival in palace is achieved through cruel and calculating tactics. She cheats and schemes her way to the top and finally becomes the concubine. Though she realizes that Sam Ho has fallen in love with the chess master Ko Hin Yeung, her jealousy still arouses by Sam Ho’s attraction to the Emperor Lee Yee. Fearing that she is losing power, she ruthlessly makes up a false allegation against Sam Ho for murdering the Empress Cheng and condemns her to death. No matter how clever she is to scheme, things do not go the way she planned. By using a strong comparison of the two distinctive characters, Sam Ho and Kam Ling, the message of the drama is that "benevolence" is the only way to gain final victory.

Remarks :
This is a Hong Kong version loosely based on the k-drama Dae Jang Geum. The script, acting, costume and design are great. You will not be disappointed. It’s been ages since I was into TVB drama, like 11 years ago since I watch Cantonese drama? Ha…seems like there’s still TVB drama which can catch my interest.
