A General, a Scholar and a Eunuch is a historical fiction comedy about three Ming dynasty imperial officials who accidentally travel to modern day Mainland China by accident while searching for the crown prince's missing wife. The three male leads are actual historical Chinese figures Yuan Chonghuan, Zuo Guangdou and Wei Zhongxian, however, the characters are portrayed fictitiously in the drama.
