The year is 1402, the first year of the reign of Yongle, Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

In a fit of rage one day, the impulsive and ill-tempered Emperor orders the execution of royal physician Jing Qing and his entire family.

All die, save one – Jing Qing’s eldest daughter (Tang Wei) – who is rescued by a nobleman named Sun Zhong. The latter adopts her and names her Sun Ruo Wei.

The manipulative, power-mongering Qingzheng Cult has plans for Sun Ruo Wei, however, and plots to marry her off to one of the Emperor’s sons.

But the Cult’s plans hit an insurmountable obstacle when fate intervenes – and she ends up being made the official concubine of Emperor Yongle’s grandson, Zhu Zhan Ji (Zhu Ya Wen).

In September 1424, Zhu Zhan Ji’s father takes the imperial throne upon the death of the Yongle Emperor, with Zhu Zhan Ji becoming the Crown Prince and heir to the title.

Just a few months later, though, Zhu Zhan Ji’s father dies suddenly. Zhu Zhan Ji accedes to the throne, becoming the Xuande Emperor.

Despite finding herself in a union with the grandson of the hateful man who took her family’s life, Sun Ruo Wei discovers that the Xuande Emperor is very unlike his grandfather. Little by little, she starts to believe that goodness and perhaps love live within his heart.

When she gives birth to a son – the new Crown Prince – she must also think about how to help him rule, and one day become Emperor in his own right.

Will Sun Ruo Wei forsake her dreams of vengeance for the good of the Empire…and true love? And will her good judgment help secure the future of the dynasty?

It is May 14, 2018, and 100 or so passengers are aboard Airbus flight A319 from Chongqing to Lhasa, Tibet. The aircraft suffers a major blow when the cockpit’s windshield cracks. The pilots radio air traffic control to report on their perilous situation. But then the unthinkable happens – the glass shatters, sending the pressure spiraling throughout the aircraft. The passengers panic, and one of the pilot team is taken out of action, leaving the former air force ace-turned steely nerved veteran captain Liu Chang Jian (Zhang Han Yu) to find a solution to the problem, along with his first mate Liang Dong (Du Jiang). The plane plummets almost 2.5km, and the captain manages to intervene just in time, but the really tough flying is only just getting started.

The aircraft is flying above the Tibetan Himalayas, oxygen reserves are running low and a storm starts to brew outside, making Liu Chang Jian’s seemingly impossible task that bit harder. Pandemonium breaks out among the passengers, but the lead flight attendant Bin Nan (Yuan Quan) is determined to calm their nerves and make them place their trust in her, the crew...and the captain.
