About

In pre-unified China, the King of Qin sends his concubine to a rival kingdom to produce an assassin for a political plot, but as the king's cruelty mounts she finds her loyalty faltering.

A hauntingly conflicted performance drives this sweeping epic of ancient political betrayal and bloodsoaked ambition. Witness the slow erosion of loyalty as a concubine's desperate gamble transforms into a lethal instrument of statecraft.
