The Princess Weiyoung
TV Show • 2016 • Drama
ReportSynopsis
Li Wei Young was born Princess Feng Xin Er, the third daughter of the proud royalty of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Although she never quite gets the affection of her family because she was born on a day deemed one of misfortune, Xin Er is pure of heart and sharp of mind. One fateful night, in a massacre rivaling few others, Xin Er’s kingdom is annihilated. Escaping with her life but now an orphan, Xin Er accidentally wanders into enemy territory. There, she assumes the identity of her savior Li Wei Young, the daughter of a tutor. Full of hatred for the enemy that destroyed her kingdom and lacking in the feminine graces expected in her time, the somewhat arrogant Wei Young has trouble fitting in. But, being both wise and pure of heart, she ultimately learns to channel her hatred towards those who deserve it and become a kinder person overall. And it is exactly her wisdom and humanity that attracts towards her two very different men. Tuoba Jun is the beloved, well-educated, kind prince that is favored by all, including the king, and who falls in love with Wei Young. And competing with him is his younger brother Tuoba Yu, the cold, menacing and emotionally scarred prince that truly wants to rule the empire, and sees the intelligent Wei Young as his tool and his elder sibling as his rival. Wei Young, however, only has her eyes on one thing: she was not able to save her people. Between the schemes of these two men and living in enemy territory, can Wei Young ever avenge her kingdom?

Yes but there is no nudity or anything explicit. A maid turns up pregnant which was the result of performing sexual favors for another character. Later in the show, two drunk characters go to bed together and have offscreen sex.

No squashing but several instances of head trauma. A character is beaten to death by getting repeatedly clubbed on the head, and it does get bloody. Several characters get beheaded but the scene cuts away right before the act

Tuoba Di crossdresses as a male soldier to play a prank on Li Minde. The misgendering is not malicious or used in a transphobic context, she intentionally wanted Li Minde to think she is a guy for her prank

An attendant tells his boss that he would be willing to kill himself if he were ordered to. Lots of extravagant shows of loyalty like this

There is no cancer, but a character suffers from an incurable terminal illness caused by a slow acting poison. There are a few scenes where this character explicitly discusses his prognosis and palliative care options with a physician that may be triggering.

There are two separate instances where characters fake their death by falling from a great height, but in both instances, a corpse is used as a prop to make the "death" look convincing.

Li Minde falls in love with Li Weiyoung, who is his cousin. They're both adopted and not biologically related, but they are very much portrayed as being close family. Weiyoung calls Minde her brother on multiple occasions. It's one sided on Minde's part and isn't reciprocated, so he gets over it eventually

Sexual assault is attempted onscreen but it is stopped. In another instance, two drunk characters have sex that one of them likely wouldn't have consented to while sober. Forced marriage between royalty is a common theme, with marital r*pe implied because they're expected to produce heirs. One character becomes obsessed with marrying a woman against her will and harasses her constantly

YMMV: There is no abuse of minors shown onscreen. A few characters mention having had difficult childhoods. However, there are plenty of instances of parents being abusive to their adult children onscreen.

The show centers on members of the same family constantly plotting to kill each other. There is some intimate partner violence too. 1. A man kills the pregnant mother of his child. 2. There is an abusive relationship where a man chokes a woman who is in love with him, throws her on the ground, and threatens her life on a few occasions. 3. There are a few instances where men slap their partner in the face to chastise her. 4. There is one instance where a major character sentences his lover to get beaten. While his motivation was to save her from an even more vengeful character calling for her execution, it can still be triggering.
