This film was taken from a Chinese legend called “The Wandering Dragon Seduces the Phoenix”. An Emperor (Chao Lei) sets out for the luscious countryside in Kiang Nan to see the beautiful backdrops. Outside the cozy confines of the palace, the Emperor meets a beautiful maiden named Li Feng (Lin Dai) and falls in love with her. The Emperor is then summoned back to the Palace by his Empress mother (Tang Re Ching), and upon leaving, he promises the lovely Li Feng that in a short time he would bring her back to the palace and never forget about her. Promises, promises, not to mention a Mother who will not break from tradition. Anyways, time flies by and of course, the Emperor has forgotten about Li Feng. Li Feng has even given birth to a child from the Emperor! Whoa! Will the Emperor accept responsibility for both Li Feng and the child? Eventually, he does, but before doing so, Li Feng becomes sick with depression and is on the verge of death. She then leaves for the Capital and eventually arrives at the Palace after a long journey. Joy and happiness reigns supreme, but when the Emperor opens up the entrance to the sedan chair, he is shocked and filled with grief. You would think that the story would end on a happy note, eh? Nope. A definite Huang Mei opera classic.
