Chronology
Preceded byLi Wei the Magistrate II (2004)

In Li Wei Resigns from Office, the Yongzheng Emperor had died as his son, the Qianlong Emperor, succeeded the throne. As a result, all actors from the first 2 series were replaced by older actors, but some fictional characters from the first 2 series were still kept. Veteran Hong Kong actor Paul Chun stars as an older Li Wei.

Filming began in Jinzhong, Shanxi in October 2004.[1] It was first broadcast in Taiwan on China Television in November 2005.
