The Chinese Dream takes three women running to Bianjing to fight for their own career as a clue. In addition, the men in the play also have the flavor of the times and history. In this part of male clues, the top figure is the emperor.

Although the subtitles only show the Northern Song Dynasty, we can still get a glimpse of the plot. When the eunuch in the palace came to see Ouyang Xu in the play, he said, "The immortals in Yuqing Palace repeatedly advised him to keep in good health." When Ou Yangxun went to see the emperor, he said, "I usually read 3,000 classics, and I admire Huang Lao's technique." He also mentioned "sealing Mount Tai as Zen". It can be seen that the emperor in the play is probably the third generation emperor of the Song Dynasty, Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng.

At the beginning of the Record of Hua Meng, I started with the prediction that "women are always in charge", which corresponds to Liu E's participation in politics. Lu's later party struggle, Ou Yangxun's official career in officialdom are all related to this historical fact, and there is also the biggest supernatural case in ancient times-the hat demon case.

In the later period, Song Zhenzong was addicted to the technique of Huang Lao, demanding immortality and being keen on the theory of "auspiciousness". In the play, the screenwriter also dealt with this and presented more things. Therefore, the emperor is likely to be Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng.
