Will they find a way to be together?
The Ming Dynasty was the ruling dynasty of China for three centuries. During its reign it encountered numerous rebellions. It is during just such a time that the small state of Yun finds itself caught between the two sides of an impending rebellion. The state of Yun must decide if it should rebel and align itself with the 8 Masters, or if it should stay loyal to the Emperor and the 4th Imperial Prince, Kao Ming.
On a stormy night, Wen-xin enters the Chen family mansion, rumored to be haunted by a woman in white. There he meets Hui-mei, whose face is identical to that of her late mother, Mei-lan, and becomes her music tutor. Director Tien Ching casts Chen Qiu-yan in both roles, allowing the same face to return across portrait, memory, and present time. Gothic motifs—rain, a shadowy house, and a buried family secret—shift the source of fear away from the supernatural and toward domestic hierarchy, superstition, and control over marriage.
