Metadata notes: Display cast now follows official WeTV: Yu Xuanchen / Ji Shuyi. TVmaze explicitly lists Shao Yu Qi (邵羽柒) and 吉舒亦 as aliases of Ji Shu Yi, and credits her as Jiang Jinli in this series. Therefore the earlier claim that Plex miscredited the lead is withdrawn. Alias mapping is secondary-source evidence, not inferred from matching character names. Sources: https://wetv.vip/en/play/mw0iuwix8gfuf25 ; https://www.tvmaze.com/people/371768/ji-shu-yi

Horizontal evidence: HORIZONTAL — SUPPORTED BY PUBLISHED VISUAL EVIDENCE

Format evidence scope: Official WeTV episode scene illustration. Official EP1 illustration shows a period-costume man in a room, with location text at the right, in a full-width landscape scene. Identity: The Rebel Empress / 美人谋 (2024); existing cast: Yu Xuanchen; Ji Shuyi. WeTV title, 2024, Yu Xuanchen / Ji Shuyi, 24 episodes and matching political-romance plot identify 美人谋. Scope: Published images were visually inspected; no new episode playback, subtitle, full-series, U.S. or A/V certification.

Poster notes: Inherited visual approval: portrait artwork and Chinese title 美人谋 matched. Cast-name question resolved separately through official WeTV credit plus TVmaze alias evidence; image itself was not re-opened in this pass.
