Is 'The Watcher' on Netflix Based on a True Story?

The book, Celebrating Years, was started in 2007.

The story of Ye Qingmei and Wu Zhu began when they met in the temple. Ye Qingmei was a little girl who grew up in the temple and was tired of living in the museum. She stole a sniper rifle and the research results of the museum. At the same time, she also took away Wu Zhu, the highly intelligent military robot. In the temple, Ye Qingmei and Wu Zhu often talked and chatted. The relationship between them was complicated and close. They were both friends and relatives, relying on each other and protecting each other. They had experienced many adventures together, including meeting Fan Xian and Sigu Jian in Dongyi. Their story was depicted in the TV series " Celebrating Years." Wu Zhu was Ye Qingmei's servant. His mission was to protect Ye Qingmei's son, Fan Xian.

Fan Sizhe was the Second Prince's man. In " Celebrating Years," Fan Sizhe was a subordinate of the Second Prince, Li Chengze. He and the Third Prince, Li Chengping, ran the Baoyue Brothel business together to coerce Fan Xian into obeying the Second Prince. Fan Sizhe was talented in business, good at scheming, and greedy. He had been used by the Second Prince to help him control Fan Xian and add fuel to the fire in the Baoyue Brothel incident. In order to break free from the Second Prince's control, Fan Xian finally sent Fan Sizhe to Northern Qi.

The main characters of " Celebrating Years 2 " included Fan Xian, Lin Wan 'er, the Qing Emperor, Chen Pingping, and Fan Sizhe. Fan Xian was the adopted son of the Qing Minister of Revenue, Fan Jian. In reality, he was the son of Ye Qingmei and the Qing Emperor. He was intelligent, quick-witted, brave, and kind. He possessed a peerless divine technique, and at the same time, he valued relationships and righteousness. Lin Wan 'er was the daughter of the Eldest Princess. She was the illegitimate daughter of the Prime Minister and the Eldest Princess. Later, she was conferred the title of Princess Chen by the Emperor and married Fan Xian. The Qing Emperor was the Qing Emperor and also Fan Xian's father. He was one of the four great Grandmasters in the world. Chen Pingping was the Director of the Qing Kingdom Inspection Council, Fan Xian's friend and supporter. Fan Sizhe was Fan Xian's younger brother. The other characters included the Qing Emperor's concubine, the Qing Kingdom's empress dowager, and some other characters.

The original Qing Yu Nian did not describe Fan Xian being stabbed by Yan Bingyun. This plot had been adapted from the TV series " Celebrating Years." In the show, Fan Xian and Yan Bingyun had discussed this plan. The goal was to let Yan Bingyun gain the Second Prince's trust so that he could better be a spy. Therefore, the plot of Fan Xian being stabbed by Yan Bingyun was a creation of a television drama, not from the original novel.

In addition, the seven supporting roles in the series also performed well, adding a lot of highlights to the quality of the series. "Celebrating Years 2" had achieved good results in terms of popularity and viewership, becoming one of the explosive dramas of 2024.
