Dominion and Devotion(2025)

Dominion and Devotion is a historical drama set during the collapse of the Great Ning Dynasty. Court official Pei Shenzhi orchestrates a power grab by installing the young Ning Jinyi as a puppet empress, believing he can control her through manipulation. But Ning Jinyi proves far more cunning than expected. While maintaining the appearance of compliance, she quietly consolidates power and champions bold reforms that threaten the established order. As she systematically purges corrupt officials from the court, Pei Shenzhi finds himself drawn into her orbit—impressed by her intellect yet increasingly aware that his own influence is slipping away. The series explores the dangerous dance between ambition and loyalty as two rivals navigate palace intrigue, each determined to reshape the empire according to their vision.
