The original singer of the song "The Beauty Tribulation" is Yao Beina.

"The Beauty Tribulation" is the opening theme song of the TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem". It is sung by Yao Beina, composed by Liu Huan, and written by Cui Shu. This song is included in the "The Legend of Zhen Huan Original Soundtrack" released in 2012 and Yao Beina's album "Yao Beina Film and Television Music Collection" released in 2013. "The Beauty Tribulation" is a theme song tailor-made by Liu Huan for the TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan". In May 2011, Yao Beina was diagnosed with breast cancer. After Yao Beina underwent several rounds of chemotherapy, Yao Feng suddenly received a call from Liu Huan.

Asked about Yao Beina's condition and said that she wanted to cooperate with Yao Beina. Liu Huan and Yao Beina had known each other for a long time, but they had never collaborated in music. After Liu Huan learned that Yao Beina was ill, he still hoped that Yao Beina could sing the theme song of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and expressed his willingness to wait for her. After consulting her doctor, Yao Beina walked into the recording studio during her recuperation period from chemotherapy. It took one afternoon for Yao Beina to finish recording this song.

A brief description of the song appreciation of "The Tribulation of the Beauty":

"The Tribulation of the Beauty" is long, affectionate, and has a strong Chinese style. Singer Yao Beina successfully interpreted this ancient and long-lasting song. Yao Beina's wide vocal range, clear tone and free transition between high and low sounds in the song are all admirable. Lyrics such as "Cut off the thread of love and the heart is still confused, and thousands of threads are still entangled, hand over the country" are paired with the moving music melody, and then interpreted by Yao Beina's singing, people can't help but be intoxicated.

The first lyric in the song: "Who am I and why do I live in this world?" expresses the heroine's confusion about her identity and helplessness about life. As the plot develops, the heroine falls in love with the hero, but cannot be together because of their different identities, which ultimately ends in tragedy. The lyrics of the song also express the heroine's persistence in love and her helplessness and pain at the tragic ending.
