There are so many dramas where the character's souls switch bodies. This one drama added a different twist to it, sort of. The emperor male lead (Dai Gao Zheng played Xiao Jin Yu) and the empress female lead (He Xuan Lin played Xu Yu) switched bodies to to evil sorcery. The emperor was switched into the empresses body. He found out how bad he had treated her, how bad his mother (the Empress Dowager) treated her, how badly the concubines / consorts treated her and how badly some of the maid servants treated her. The empress in the emperor's body found out how hard it was to deal with the evil court, how difficult it was to run a country, how hard it was for the emperor to deal with his mother and the concubines / consorts. The two of them had to navigate through the inter palace treachery and deceit. The good thing was that they both had the emporer's younger brother, a good sorcerer and a imperial physician that where loyal to them. When the empress went out to the battlefield, in the emperor's body), she did well and even was befriended by the queen , (Ma Han Yi played queen Hu Na), of the enemy country; she fought along side the empress who was in the emperor's body. They became great friends. The emperor and empress found out that there where many misunderstandings and worked to find their way back to where they were when they first met and later married. They were finally switched back to their right bodies, right before the banquet. The good enemy queen was invited to the banquet. She realized that the empress seemed more familiar than the emperor. The empress and queen had a n entertaining sparring match with swords. They became such great friends, more like sisters with kindred souls. This was one of my favorite parts of the drama. The queen gave the empress her falcon and the empress practiced with the queen (enemy country ) with the bow and spear. They were inseparable and the her husband the emperor hated it; he wanted the empress' attention. The good enemy queen was getting ready to go back to her country, but the empress was not there to see her off; she looked around and was so sad. Finally the empress came and the two of them hugged. The emperor, empress, the emperors youngest brother and the others stopped a coup, taking down the evil marquise and his evil son. The concubines mellowed out and were made princesses. By the way, the emperor never messed around with any of his concubines / consorts; he only messed around and had affection for his empress. The drama had a very happy ending.
