When Xia Liyou first went for the audition, she gained a general understanding of the drama she was going to be part of, named "The Empress of the Palace".
Such genres had been thriving in recent years and had no more novelty, however, some folks still enjoyed watching women's manipulative intrigues.
As there was a market, DHR company certainly wouldn't miss this money-making opportunity.
Moreover, DHR invested heavily in this drama's script.
So even before the shooting started, this drama had already caught the media's attention.
Thinking back to "The Legend of Zhenhuan" and "War and Beauty", those were phenomenally popular amongst the audience.
Presumably, this time "The Empress" would also evoke quite a response.
Filming court dramas, beautiful women were naturally the main attractions, hence, many beauties were usually invited to bolster the cast list in such palace dramas.
