The ending of future generations:

In 1945, Japan was defeated and Korea was restored. However, due to the intervention of the United States and the Soviet Union, the Korean Peninsula was divided into North and South Two parts. In 1946, the Japanese government abolished the royal family system. The following year, members of the Korean royal family were expelled from the royal family and deprived of their Japanese nationality. Lee Eun and other members of the old royal family in Japan hope to return to their country.

However, the then South Korean President Rhee Syngman had a hostile attitude towards the North Korean royal family. He was afraid that the supporters of the royal family would support them and overthrow him, so he obstructed it in every possible way. In 1954, South Korea enacted the "Old Royal Family Property Disposal Act" and the royal family property was classified as state-owned.

The royal family members who stayed in South Korea were kicked out of the palace, and their few remaining properties were plundered almost completely. The royal family members were paid monthly living expenses, but not a penny was paid to Li Yin. Sunjong The widow Concubine Yin (Queen Chunzhenxiao) even lived on the streets for a time.

In 1960, Syngman Rhee fell. In 1961, Park Chung-hee came to power through a coup and treated the old royal family well. The lives of the royal family members were improved. The royal family members who had been in exile abroad for a long time finally returned to their homeland after decades of absence.

His son Li Jiu and grandnephew Li Yuan (grandson of the righteous prince Li Kuan) successively became the leaders of the Li family.
