''The Rise of Phoenixes'' (天盛长歌; ''Tiān Shèng Cháng Gē'', meaning roughly "The Long Song of Tian Sheng") is a 2018 Chinese historical series starring Chen Kun and Ni Ni. It's loosely based on the novel ''Huang Quan'' by Tian Xia Gui Yuan.
In the fictional kingdom of Tiansheng, Prince Ning Qiao has been executed on a false charge of treason. His half-brother Ning Yi sets out to have him pardoned posthumously. Meanwhile, Feng Zhi Wei is banished from her adopted family. She disguises herself as a man and becomes a high-ranking official. Zhi Wei and Ning Yi meet and fall in love. Then Zhi Wei learns she's descended from the former dynasty who were deposed by Ning Yi's ancestors, and becomes convinced the entire royal family are her enemies.
Two versions of the series exist: an uncut version with seventy episodes, and a cut version with fifty-six episodes.
