Palace 3: The Lost Daughter (Chinese: 宫锁连城) is a 2014 Chinese television series written and produced by Yu Zheng, starring Yuan Shanshan, Lu Yi, Gao Yunxiang, Shirley Dai and Yang Rong.[1][2][3][4] It is a sequel to the 2012 television series Palace II. The series was first broadcast on Hunan Television in mainland China from 7 April to 4 May 2014.[5]
The series was a commercial success, and set a new ratings record for a drama’s initial broadcast on a provincial-level television channel for the year.[6] It is later followed by the film The Palace (2013 film).
In December 2014, author Chiung Yao won a lawsuit against screenwriter Yu Zheng, claiming that he plagiarized Palace 3 from her 1992 novel Plum Blossom Scar. Yu was ordered to financially compensate Chiung and publicly apologize. He did the latter 6 years later after mounted pressure from 156 industry professionals threatening to boycott Yu.[7][8]
