Storyline:
A city in ruin... A family disgraced... Two sisters, one dream.
Yong An Dream begins in the majestic capital of Yong’an, where peace is shattered by a catastrophic canal collapse—an engineering failure that cripples trade and confidence in the empire. Shen Wen Qi, once-respected Minister of Public Works, is swiftly imprisoned as a scapegoat for political failures.
His daughters, Shen Ran and Shen Zhen, are cast from privilege into a world of suspicion, betrayal, and survival. While Shen Ran, bold and defiant, takes risks to clear her father’s name, Shen Zhen, calculating and cautious, navigates the hidden currents of the royal court.
Together, they face scheming courtiers, family betrayal, deadly romance, and a tangled web of imperial secrets. Their journey will not only test their loyalty, wit, and strength, but also determine whether the Shen family’s legacy will fall—or rise again in glory.
