Palace Locked: Beauty's Sorrow

Plot Synopsis

Yun Xi, the legitimate daughter of the Yun family, and the imperial prince Li Ye were childhood sweethearts. To save Li Ye, she was disfigured when she was young. However, Li Ye promised never to abandon her and took her as his wife when he came of age. The Yun family also became the biggest backer of the imperial prince Li Ye. To assist Li Ye, the Yun family fought in the northern desert. Even at the cost of the death of Yun Xi's second elder brother on the battlefield, they helped Li Ye ascend to the position of the crown prince. But who could have known that the powerful Li Ye would fool around with Zhao Ya'er, the legitimate daughter of the Zhao family, on the very night when Yun Xi gave birth. He ignored Yun Xi completely and even slaughtered the entire Yun family on the day of his enthronement, hanging Yun Xi's parents and brothers outside the city gate and flogging their corpses for three days. Yun Xi, who narrowly escaped death, was saved by Granny Xihua.
