The Princess Weiyoung (Chinese: 锦绣未央) is a 2016 Chinese historical television series starring Tiffany Tang, Luo Jin, Vanness Wu, Mao Xiaotong and Li Xinai. It is adapted from the novel The Poisonous Daughter (庶女有毒) by Qin Jian. The series started airing two episodes per day (1 episode on Saturdays) at 19:30 (GMT) on Dragon TV and Beijing TV from November 11, 2016.
During the chaotic Northern and Southern Dynasties, in Northern Liang's royal family lived a princess named Feng Xin'er (Tiffany Tang) who was kind, carefree, and loved by all. A marshal from the Chiyun clan of Northern Wei takes it upon himself to overrun Northern Liang for his greed and turned it into a bloodbath, forcing the princess to be left on her own.
Li Weiyang, the daughter of the Prime Minister of Northern Wei, shielded the princess from harm. However, Weiyang dies protecting Xin'er, and the latter assumes Weiyang's identity to reside in her home, where she is disliked and shunned. She thus took it upon herself to fight against the Chiyun clan and unexpectedly became entangled with Northern Wei's prince, Tuoba Jun (Luo Jin). Through her struggles, she gains wisdom and is finally able to find peace for her family and live true to her heart.
*Note: In Chinese, the princess is actually named "Li Weiyang," but due to translation differences, I presume, the English title was named "The Princess Weiyoung."
The drama reached 18 billion views within a month. It achieved peak viewership ratings of 2.494.
