It tells the tragic love story between Su Daji and two men — her childhood sweetheart Bo Yikao and King Zhou of Shang.
In the last years of the Shang Dynasty, King Zhou was a weak and sadistic ruler. The ancient Nuwa goddess sends three demons — the nine-tailed fox, the jade pipa and the nine-headed pheasant on a special mission to seduce King Zhou and hasten the destruction of Shang. When King Wu of Zhou takes up arms to launch an attack on Shang, they are to help him unite the lands under Zhou.
Bo Yikao and Su Daji were childhood sweethearts meant to marry each other. The licentious King Zhou tears the couple apart after forcibly ordering Daji to become his woman. He orders soldiers to seize the city, and it is Daji's sacrifice to abandon the man she loves and willingly enter the palace that saves everyone from doom. On the way to Chaoge, Daji loses her soul to the nine-tailed fox who occupies her body.
