What happens

The Chevaliers (Chinese: 俠義見青天) is a 1994 Taiwanese television drama series produced by Young Pei‑pei, first aired on Taiwan Television (TTV). It was produced in conjunction with Hong Kong’s TVB and is known for featuring a large ensemble of Hong Kong actors, including Damian Lau, Alex Man, Cecilia Yip, Maggie Shiu, Margie Tseng, Lau Dan, Eddie Kwan, and Lawrence Ng. Like its main rival, The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants (1994) produced by Chinese Television System (CTS), The Chevaliers was also very loosely based on the 19th‑century novel The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants. As a result, in June and July 1994, Taiwanese prime‑time audiences could switch TV channels and still watch the same characters such as Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and Prince of Xiangyang portrayed by different actors.
