Palace 3: The Lost Daughter, also known as The Palace: The Lost Daughter is a 2014 Chinese historical television series written and produced by Yu Zheng and directed by Li Huizhu and Zheng Wei'en, and starring Lu Yi, Mabel Yuan, Gao Yunxiang, Shirley Dai, Yang Rong, Alyssa Chia, Kingdom Yuen and Kent Tong.Palace 3: The Lost Daughter is a sequel to the 2012 television series Palace II. The television series was first broadcast on Hunan Television on 7 April 2014 in mainland China. The series was a commercial success.
On April 2, 2014, a newspaper quoted actress Shirley Dai as claiming that Palace 3: The Lost Daughter was actually based on Taiwanese writer Chiung Yao's 1992 novel Plum Blossom Scar (梅花烙). Writer-producer Yu Zheng then unleashed a rant on his Sina Weibo microblog calling "a certain actress" an attention whore.
Shortly after the drama aired in China on April 7, Chiung Yao released an open letter to China's State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television on April 15 accusing Yu Zheng of blatant plagiarism "unprecedented and beyond my endurance," seeking the immediate suspension of the broadcast of the TV series. Yu denied the claim, saying he was a fan of Chiung Yao with no intention of angering her. On April 28, a team led by Wang Jun from Beijing-based Yingke Law Firm filed a plagiarism lawsuit against Yu. Chiung Yao has received the public support of many, including Ruby Lin who starred in a 2010 Yu Zheng drama Beauty's Rival in Palace.
On May 6, writer Li Yaling (李亚玲), who co-wrote 2 Yu Zheng dramas Pretty Maid (2010) and Spell of the Fragrance (2010), offered to be a witness to support Chiung Yao's lawsuit. She claimed that back in 2008 Yu had asked her to "borrow" Plum Blossom Scar's story for a new script, but she refused.
