Against the Current

After her family is falsely accused of treason and brutally executed, Shen Jia Lan (Tan Song Yun) finds herself stripped of her noble status and abandoned by her fiancé, Lin Jin Qi (Liu Xue Yi). To save herself from a worse fate, she assumes the identity of "Xu Lan Xiang," a deceased servant, and infiltrates Jin Qi's household. Starting as a humble third-class maid, she navigates the treacherous politics of the Lin estate, utilizing her wit and resilience to overcome rigid class barriers and systemic injustice. As she rises through the household ranks, she strives to earn the family's respect, re-capture Jin Qi's heart, and clear her family's name by exposing the truth of what really happened. Can Jia Lan manage to pull it all off? This drama was adapted from the novel "Lan Xiang Yuan" by He Yan Shan.
