Synopsis

A simple duet of musical pipes would instigate a complicated love story. During Emperor Kang Xi's 18th year of reign, he was escorted by imperial guard Nalan Rong Ruo during an outing. While Kang Xi played the song "Moon Rising" on his reed pipe, someone was accompanying him on her pan pipe from a distant location. Rong Ruo realized that it was his cousin, Wei Lin Lang, and was overcome with emotion. Kang Xi then ordered Prince Fu Quan to find the palace maid playing the pan pipe so that she could be betrothed to Rong Ruo. However, upon finding Lin Lang, Fu Quan realized that Kang Xi also had feelings for her, thus he secretly decided to pull a switch by selecting someone else to be betrothed to Rong Ruo and ordered Lin Lang to serve Kang Xi instead. It was only after Kang Xi fell deeply in love with Lin Lang that he learned she was actually the cousin Rong Ruo was in love with all along...

Huh? The producer is now Yu Zheng and Mickey & YSS are in the cast now? What happened...the previous producer passed it on to him?

I don't know. I just saw it on drama wiki. Can someone find a reliable chinese source to reconfirm?

Looks like the Baidu source also now have Yu Zheng as the producer:

Well, this production has been struck by delays and script rewrites, so who knows, maybe the original producer did pass it on to Yu Zheng!
