"Zhao's Orphans" Douban official page: http://site.douban.com/107923/ During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Ling of Jin was displeased with the powerful minister Tu'anjia (played by Wang Xueqi) and tired of the arrogance of Prime Minister Zhao Dun (played by Bao Guoan). Zhao Dun's son Zhao Shuo (played by Zhao Wenzhuo) had double happiness, as he not only had remarkable military achievements but also his wife Zhuang Ji (played by Fan Bingbing) was pregnant. Tu'anjia saw him as a major threat and devised a plot to poison the court, using Duke Ling's voice to wipe out the Zhao clan's nine generations. Zhuang Ji witnessed her husband Zhao Shuo's death while being diagnosed by the minister Cheng Ying (played by Ge You) and, in her sorrow, decided to give birth to the baby. At this moment, Tu'anjia's subordinate Han Jue (played by Huang Xiaoming) came to exterminate the Zhao family. In this critical situation, Zhuang Ji entrusted the baby to Cheng Ying, asking him to give the child to Gongsun Chuju (played by Zhang Fengyi), and then she committed suicide. Han Jue was injured by Tu'anjia, who then ordered the city to be sealed and searched house by house for the baby. In a moment of desperation, Cheng's wife (played by Hai Qing) handed over Zhao Gu. Cheng Ying went to claim Zhao Gu, while Cheng's wife went to see Gongsun Chuju. Due to the city seal, Cheng's wife and child were hidden behind a shadow wall. Tu'anjia set a bitter meat plan, forcing Cheng Ying to reveal the baby's whereabouts, and subsequently killed Gongsun Chuju and Cheng's wife and child. Cheng Ying, holding in his grief, raised Zhao Gu alone. Han Jue learned the truth while seeking medical treatment and formed a life-and-death alliance with Cheng Ying. Cheng Ying brought Zhao Gu to Tu'anjia and made Tu'anjia acknowledge Zhao Gu as his adopted son. Thus began a 15-year-long plan for revenge...
