Story of Kunning Palace and 4 Other Must-See Chinese Dramas Starring Bai Lu

Chinese dramas are attracting more and more attention these days, and Bai Lu is one of the most popular young actresses right now.

In her youth, she was fascinated by dramas and even tried to break into the South Korean film industry, but after being rejected, she began working as a model in China, where she was noticed and invited to act.

1. Till The End Of The Moon, 2023

Devil God, incarnated in Tantai Jin, takes over the world with his vast army. To confront him, the powers of Light send the immortal Li Susu, who witnessed Tantai Jin destroy all her loved ones, back in time.

To her surprise, Susu finds herself in the body of the aristocrat Ye Xiwu, the cruel wife of Tantai Jin. What keeps her from taking revenge on the future Devil is the instruction that if Tantai Jin dies, the devil trapped inside him will inevitably break free.

2. Love is Sweet, 2020

With the support of her loving parents, Jiang Jun received an excellent education in economics and physiology. For a long time, she devoted herself to working in non-profit organizations. But everything changed the day her father died.

In order to fulfill his last wish – to build a successful career – Bai Lu's character gets a job at the best investment company in Shanghai. Soon, Jiang Jun realizes that intrigues are being woven against her, and only by relying on her will and intelligence can she succeed in both her professional and personal life.

3. The Legends, 2019

Lu Zhaoyao's family guards a cave where the Demon King's son, who possesses powerful magical abilities, is imprisoned. One day, Bai Lu's character meets Luo Mingxuan, the leader of a righteous sect.

Later, she learns that it is her idol who is behind the impending execution of the Demon King's son. True to her family oath, she comes to the aid of the man trapped in the cave. In doing so, she incurs the wrath of Luo Mingxuan's sect.

The fantasy drama differs from similar projects in that it blurs the usual balance of power: the dark forces turn out to be not so bad, and the "righteous," as it turns out, are driven by selfish interests.

4. Story of Kunning Palace, 2023

The story is set during the reign of the alternate Ming Dynasty. The main character is Jiang Xuening. All her life she considered herself the daughter of a concubine, so she paved the way to power at court in the dirtiest way. And she made it to the top, becoming the emperor's wife.

But her happiness was short-lived – the emperor was overthrown. During the rebellion, Jiang sacrificed her life to save a minor official in captivity – Zhang Zhe, whom she had always disliked. For this selfless act, the higher powers give the Empress a chance to correct her mistakes.

5. Ordinary Greatness, 2022

Four new recruits join the police force of a provincial town – three guys and one girl played by Bai Lu. This group includes a master of law, the best graduate of the police academy, a cheerful guy who failed the entrance exams, and the daughter of a real hero among the guardians of order.

Despite its pretentious title, Ordinary Greatness is the most sincere and light-hearted work on this list. If you are tired of the court intrigue and complex plots, then you will like this series.
