Empresses In The Palace
Do you know it? I strongly/really recommend that you try to watch it. Moreover it has been translated in to English and here is a short introductions(/overview).(Alternative: It has even been translated into English and here's a short introduction.)
In China, almost every Chinese person definitely knows (has definitely heard of/seen) this hot TV program.
It tells the story of one of Emperor Yongzheng's concubines, Zhen Huan, who is (also) the mother of Prince Hongli (the famous Emperor Qianlong). Perfect!
This drama, adapted from popular Internet novel of the same name, will tells the story of the heroine, Zhen Huan (Sun Li), who joins the palace harem with her sister.
She is selected to be Emperor Yongzheng's (Chen Jian Bin) concubine. When Zhen Huan first enters the palace, she is innocent and gullible, but gradually learns the hard way to fend for herself when she inadvertently becomes caught up in the schemes between the Empress (Ada Choi) and Concubine Hua (Jiang Xin).
Through cunning and deceit, Zhen Huan finally succeeds in becoming Empress. However, she arouses Emperor Yongzheng's suspicion about her loyalty and is forced to poison her true love, the 17th Prince.
Finally, when Emperor Yongzheng dies, and Hong Li ascends the throne.
