    TVB sees that both Kevin Cheng and Charmaine Sheh attracted attention and decided to take advantage to cast them in next year's (February) 30-episode grand production series 銆婂妷涓夊ソ銆?Lau Sam Ho 鈥?tentative title). The backdrop of the series is based on the palace servants (Seung Gong) during Tang Dynasty, revolving around the rivalry of the four wardrobe department for the Empress. The synopsis mirrored Korean hit series Jewel in the Palace. Charmaine will be casted as the leading character Lau Sam Ho. TVB have also arranged for Susanna Kwan, Michelle Yim, Tavia Yeung and Moses Chan from [Moonlight Resonance] to join the series, what a stellar production indeed. Executive Producer Mui Siu Ching admitted that she is busy designing the wardrobe for the series.
    When reporters mentioned that the new series mirrored Jewel in the Palace, Charmaine Sheh said: "This series is about wardrobe, not food."

    The story is about the rivalry between 'Seung Gong' during Tang Dynasty. Seung Gong department task is to provide gold pins, wardrobes and jeweleries for the Empress. The characters each have their own technique to survive in Seung Gong. Though [LSH] will only start filming next year, TVB is already sourcing wardrobe, headgear and jewelleries to ensure a luxurious palace effect.

    When Charmaine found out that she will be working with Kevin, she indicate that she will put her best effort in the series: "It's just work! I will try my best to follow company's arrangement." She also expressed hopes for the series, hoping for the series to break [JITP] record. Mentioning of the upcoming series strong cast, she is not afraid being compared to: "It's great that I can satisfy my acting cravings." As for Tavia Yeung and Selena Li, they also anticipate the series as they are happy being able to work with veterans like Susanna and Michelle.

    According to some sources, Tavia's role as a concubine will be the villian! Her evil role will be heavy on screentime and is a scene-stealer. As for Susanna Kwan & Michelle Yim, their status nowadays are very high and if their roles ain't important, they will not participate in the drama. The emperor, played by Moses Chan, will have a complicated relationship with Charmaine, Tavia and Selena. While Kevin, a palace officer, will only have one love interest - Charmaine. Fala Chen is also rumoured to take part of the series, as Tavia's palace maid.
