Emperor and the Assassin, The
Aroview: Vast, gilded historical spectacle set in the 3rd Century BC, centred on China's legendary first Qin emperor's struggle to consolidate a unified country by conquering six neighbouring states. Over five weighty chapters, the emperor (Zhang Fenyi) is also principally dealt with an attempted military coup orchestrated by his own mother and her lover, and the threat of a determined assassin sent by his former lover (Gong Li).
