Charmaine Sheh as Nhi Thuan.
Among the dozens of beautiful ladies selected to serve Emperor Gia Khanh of the Qing Dynasty, Ngoc Doanh (played by Le Tu) and Nhi Thuan (Charmaine Sheh) won the `qualifying round` battle to be close to the son of heaven.
In the midst of that war, two men appeared: royal physician Ton Bach Duong (Lam Bao Di) and military guard Khong Vo (Tran Hao).
Dang Tuy Van as Nhu Phi.
The war in the palace made the audience fear and hate the flowery faces, revealing overlapping and inhuman plots.
Not only did the royal concubines and scheming nobles suffer, but even a gentle and dignified woman like Ton Bach Duong’s wife did not enjoy happiness, because her husband was still busy looking for animals.
It is not difficult to guess that a tragic ending awaits these beauties with `sparse mouths and pickled chili stomachs`.
