Plagiarism lawsuit
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.
On July 14, Yu Zheng's objections to the jurisdiction of the case were denied by Beijing Third Intermediate People's Court.
On December 5, Beijing Third Intermediate People's Court convened the case. Wang Hailin (汪海林), executive director of Chinese Television Series Screenwriter Association, testified as expert witness for Chiung Yao's camp.
On December 12, 109 Chinese screenwriters published a joint statement supporting Chiung Yao's lawsuit against Yu Zheng. A day later, an additional 30 Chinese screenwriters made their support of Chiung Yao known.
On December 25, the court ruled in Chiung Yao's favor, ordering 4 companies to stop distributing and broadcasting The Palace: The Lost Daughter, also demanding Yu Zheng to publicly apologize, and pay Chiung Yao ¥5 million (around $800,000). China Radio International called it a "landmark ruling".
