The movie opens with a wedding scene. The bride hides in waiting for her groom to appear but when the wedding sedan arrives, her betrothed is not inside but a killer who guns down her entire family. As the sole survivor, she spends the next 9 years plotting revenge. This leads her into a liaison with an assassin who falls in love with her. Posing as a married couple, they become acquainted with their mark and his family. Revenge turns out to be less sweet than expected.
This story is a rather touching look at forgiveness despite all the bloodshed.
Wu Chien-Lien (Jacqueline Wu), who earlier appeared in the more famous Eat Drink Man Woman, is gorgeous as always. The movie was produced by Zhang Yimou in the same year he did Red Sorghum.
