Joe Chen is playing Lu Zhi?! O_o Isn't she the cruel, ruthless empress who horribly tortured and mutilated poor Qi Furen? It'll be interesting to see her take on that kind of role! (Also interesting to see her in a costume drama since I've only seen her in TW idol dramas before.) Ooh, and Luo Jin is in here too! He's the first emperor from MRXJ, right? I loved him in that series. It's too bad he's not the lead instead of Ming Dao...
