The Princess Weiyoung (Chinese Drama) Review

It had been snowing for at least three days.  The birth of the Yin’Er the new princess of Lang Ling stopped the snow.

The astrologer though said that her birth is auspicious but this is cancelled out by the contrasting shape of her eyes.

The king of Lang Ling was joyful of the birth of his daughter but he was called away immediately to meet up representatives of Northern Wei.

That was the last time they saw the king until 16 or 18 years later he was freed by the Weis.  He had only a few hours to say hello to his daughter and the Queen Dowager when a Weis conspirator assassinated the king and the people of Lang Ling.

The princess barely got away with her life.

She saw how her father killed and the Queen Dowager almost beheaded.  She was so distressed that she fell over a ravine.

The next time she was compos mentis was when she woke up in bed being tended by a young woman.

She later found our that the woman was Wei Young, a banished daughter of the Prime Minister of Wei. Wei Young was a victim of discrimination because her mother is a lowly concubine who used to be a foot bather maid in the manor of the PM.

The evil consort of the prime minister sent an assassin to do away with Wei Young.  Just before dying Wei Young said to Yin’er to avenge her.

Yin’er took the identity of Wei Young and went to the PM’s manor to pretend as his daughter.
