The series is co-produced by Hunan TV and CJ E&M. It is helmed by director Jang Young-woo of I Need Romance 3, producer Kim Young-gyu of Flower Boys Next Door and and the lightning director of My Love From the Star. The music, editing and artistic direction of the series was also done by the Korean production team of Queen and I. Unlike other typical Chinesetelevision series, Love Weaves Through a Millennium was not pre-produced before its premiere. It was filmed based on a live-shooting format. The script was amended based on audience's responses, including the drama's ending. No dubbing was used; instead, the actors' actual voices were heard in the drama. Actual Chinese history was adapted into the new script, such as the rivalry between Zhao Feiyan and Empress Xu.
