The current emperor at the time neglects his duties and spends time playing and frolicking with the ladies. He also has a habit of hunting foxes late at night. With their declining population and innocent deaths rising, the enraged Fox Clan wages war against the royal family. They reserve a special pearl that boosts power and beauty to the consumer, which is stolen by the pair of sisters and split between them. They enter the Palace as dancers to fulfill the mission of killing the Emperor. But before the sisters can kill the emperor, he’s abruptly assassinated, and the throne goes to Wen Zong.
~~ Adapted from the novel "Yan Zhi Zui" (胭脂醉) by Shui He.
