The Prisoner of Beauty (折腰) is a Chinese historical romance drama co-produced by Tencent Video and Fat Bear Production, starring Song Zuer, Liu Yuning, Xuan Lu and Liu Duanduan. The plot is adapted from the romance web novel of the same name by Penglai Ke, a writer of Jinjiang City. It tells the story of Xiao Qiao and Wei Shao, the lord of the Wei family, in the midst of family and country wars. The background to the love story is a fictionalised account of building the earliest parts of the Grand Canal. (The canals were to provide supply and transport routes, to prevent flooding, and to provide water for irrigation.) Thus the series is roughly set amidst the conflicts of China's Spring and Autumn period or the Warring States period. The drama premiered on Tencent Video on May 13, 2025. The drama was later also added to Netflix.
