  Decadence and decay come hand in hand in Romantic Red Rouge, the stirring new period drama starring top Mainland actress Fan Bingbing (Lost in Beijing) as an unwilling bride who is married off into the wealthy and mysterious Gu family. Relationships, identities, and motives are slowly revealed to the drama's tragic heroine while life in the harrowing Gu household reveals many strange characters and secrets.

• Ming Dynasty 1566

  Ming Dynasty 1566 looks at Chinese history through contemporary eyes, focusing on the critical era when feudal society moved from prosperity into decline. The series is historically based drama rather than factual re-creation, and aims to teach the lessons of a great nation's fall while remaining true to the traditional spirit of the Chinese people.
