Go East2024

Set during the Anping era of Great Yong, the story follows Yuan Mo (played by Tan Jianzi), a small-town citizen in Chang Le City who processes documents for foreign individuals at the city gate. He unexpectedly encounters A Shu (played by Zhou Yiran), a refugee from the country of Yan Le who is trying to sneak into the city. Due to a misunderstanding, Yuan Mo is assigned to work at the Sifangguan, where he gets entangled with the border general Wang Kunwu (played by Du Chun), who has just reported to Sifangguan. From that moment on, Yuan Mo's life undergoes dramatic changes: a wine enthusiast, he is manipulated by the Sifangguan's master Yu De Shui into working in the western courtyard as a minor official handling affairs from various countries. By chance, A Shu becomes Yuan Mo's "little maid," and Wang Kunwu becomes his superior, with the noble lady Wei Chi Hua (played by Kan Qingzi) also coming to take charge. In the western courtyard, where he is mocked as "useless," Yuan Mo gradually grows and matures through a series of challenging tasks."
