Lady of the Dynasty is a Chinese epic romance war film directed by Cheng Shiqing (writer of Codename Cougar) and featuring Fan Bingbing, Leon Lai and Wu Chun.

After Yang Yuhuan performs a dance for the Li Imperial family, the Emperor notices her beauty.

His favorite Consort Wu senses this, and selects Yuhuan as the wife of her son, Li Mao.

Yuhuan marries into the imperial family, and gradually falls in love with the gentle, kindhearted Li Mao.

The Emperor desperately tries to gain Yuhuan's love, and he sends her gifts, such as hand picked lychees from Chang'an.

The Emperor's army had blamed the rebellions on Yuhuan's cousin Yang Guozhong who's also a corrupt official.

It was reported that the production company said Kwak refused to shoot the film according to its requirements which emphasized a traditional Chinese understanding of the Tang dynasty.

July 22, 2015, at the press conference, Director Cheng Shiqing revealed that Fan Bingbing was so involved in her role that she nearly lost her life once.

In return, Bingbing merely admitted that the filming process was hard and did not utter a single complain although the movie took 6 years to finish.

"[13] During the promotion, it was reported that there was a scene in the film where Yang Guifei (Fan Bingbing) has a tiff with Emperor Tang Xuanzong (Leon Lai) and runs off into the grasslands.

Derek Elley of Film Business Asia called it a "stunningly mounted but bloodlessly played drama".
