TV series : 大秦帝国2:纵横 | The Qin Empire Season 2

The story tells us about the Qin state after the death of Shang Yang.  It introduces the characters, Zhang Yi, King Huiwen of Qin,  Mi Ba Zi who later becomes Queen Dowager Xuan, and King Zhaoxiang of Qin.

It is good to watch and viewers are encouraged to watch Zhang Yi's character as he is cunning and intelligent.  Ning Jing's character, Lady Mi, is rather comical but evolves into a political player as the series progresses.  

The first episode is given below.

TV Series: 大秦帝國第三部之崛起 The Qin Empire III

I'd been waiting for the Qin empire 3 for almost 2 years.  It's now been released!!!

The emperor (played by Zhang Bo in the series) is the great grandfather of Ying Zheng (Qin Shi Huang Di) and his mother, Queen Dowager Xuan (or Mi Yue as in the 2015 tv series, Legend of Mi Yue).  This role is now played by Ning Jing, a Chinese actress who played Empress Dowager Xiao Zhuang of the Qing Dynasty in the 2003 Xiao Zhuang Epic.

Watch this series if you enjoy historical drama.
