Li Wei Resigns from Office is a 2005 Chinese television historical period drama and the last of the Li Wei trilogy, after Li Wei the Magistrate (2001) and Li Wei the Magistrate II (2004). It was written by Yuyue, the same writer as the 2001 (and the better-received) series.
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. It was first broadcast in Taiwan on China Television in November 2005.
