Full Episode Introduction of Palace Heart Captive:
The plot is set against the backdrop of the Tang Dynasty court, telling of the open struggles within the four departments preparing the Empress's attire. With the background of the Tang Dynasty harem, it reveals the affairs and schemes of the women in the harem. Charmaine Sheh plays the role of a palace maid, Liu San Hao, who, with the 'three good' spirit of 'having good intentions, speaking well, and doing good deeds,' manages to rise above the complex harem struggles and develops a romantic relationship with her 'scandalous couple' counterpart Kenneth Chung, akin to the romance between 'Dae Jang Geum and Min大人'.
Liu San Hao (played by Charmaine Sheh) and Yao Jin Ling (played by Yang Yi) are a pair of sworn sisters in the palace. As small palace maids, they are constantly dispatched. At the time, the harem was controlled by four departments: Tan Yan Chang (Wu Yong Wei) from the Department of Food, Zhong Xue Xia (Mi Xue) from the Department of Embroidery, Hu Su En (Hui Ying Hong) from the Department of Decorations, and Ruan Cui Yun (Guan Ju Ying) from the Department of Jewelry. These four were constantly in conflict for power and advancement, forcing the innocent San Hao and Jin Ling to become scapegoats. Despite enduring numerous hardships, San Hao still adheres to her 'three good' spirit, while Jin Ling, after being bullied endlessly, sets her heart on revenge. Once, while serving Emperor Li Yi (played by Chris Tong), she secretly seduced him and became Consort Li, thereafter engaging in a struggle with Consort Xian Wan Bao Xian (played by Cecilia Lee). Meanwhile, San Hao, with her clever hands and ingenuity, becomes a chief palace maid. Just as San Hao and Jin Ling both hold power, their sisterly relationship breaks down. It turns out that both are in love with palace guard Gao Xian Yang (Kenneth Chung). Jin Ling wants to punish the four departments, but San Hao repays them with virtue and strives to protect the four. Jin Ling uses this to persecute San Hao...
