Recommend me a Chinese Historical Drama that focuses on an individaul...

Please recommend me Chinese historical dramas that focus on the life of an individual, much like how Korean drama Dong Yi  focuses on Dong Yi, Korean drama Jumong focuses on Jumong, Korean drama Jewel in the palace focuses on Jang Geum etc.

I will like a Chinese historical drama that also focuses on an individual and his or her life and maybe accomplishments. Dramas can be recent or old. 

No xianxia or wuxia, please.

Thanks.
