宮心計BEYOND THE REALM OF CONSCIENCE




















































Story Line

English version
宫心计
Imperial Household Bureau is responsible for managing and directing all household services to the Emperor and the Imperial family in Tong Dynasty. It is comprised of four departments, namely Jewels, Attire, Food and Furnishings. LAU SAM HO (Charmaine Sheh) and YIU KAM LING (Tavia Yeung) are introduced into the bureau in their tender age and brought up in the disciplines of the palace. The two girls are diligent. YUEN TSUI WAN (Susanna Kwan), Head of the Jewels, and CHUNG SUET HA (Michelle Yim), Head of the Attire, are both very fond of HO for she is a kind-hearted young girl. Soon, they start fighting for the fellowship of HO.
HO always remembers her mother's words left to her before she passed away, that she was told, 'Doing good deeds, Speaking good words, Showing goodwill'. She lives her life of being gracious and kind-hearted in the palace. On the other hand, LING believes her survival in palace is achieved through cruel and calculating tactics. She cheats and schemes her way to the top and finally becomes the concubine. Though she realizes that HO has fallen in love with the chess master KO HIN YEUNG (Kevin Cheng), her jealousy still arouses by HO's attraction to the Emperor LEE YI (Moses Chan). Fearing that she is losing power, she ruthlessly makes up a false allegation against HO for murdering the Empress (Mary Hon) and condemns her to death. No matter how clever she is to scheme, things do not go the way she planned. By using a strong comparison of the two distinctive characters, HO and LING, the message of the drama is that "benevolence" is the only way to gain final victory.


Chinese version


唐朝掌管后宮內务的最高权力中心--尚宮局,統领四房,分別为司珍房(首饰)、司制房(服饰)、司膳房(膳食)及司设房(陈设)。刘三好(佘诗曼)与姚金铃(杨怡)自幼入宮当学婢,二人聪颖机伶,尤以三好品性纯良,得司珍阮翠云(关菊英)及司制钟雪霞(米雪)喜爱,爭取收归门下,三好遂成二人爭斗祸心。
三好一直紧守亡母遗训-「做好事、说好话、存好心」,以善行仁心遊走於宮中这个爾虞我诈的地方;反而情同姐妹的金铃,利慾薰心,为求成妃,不择手段。纵使三好钟情棋博士高显揚(郑嘉颖),但金铃知道皇帝李怡(陈豪)最爱是三好,妒意驟生,为保皇妃之位,竟诬告三好击杀太后(韓马利),要置三好於死地。但计谋再深,总有算错的时候;手段再強,亦有疏忽的地方;本剧透过三好与金铃迥异的人生,帶出只有凭「行善积德」,才是处世待人「至強无敌」之道。
