Guangxu, Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, was considered to be a literate and ambitious man, very much in love with his beautiful and witty concubine Zhenfei. When the Hundred Days of Reform failed in 1898, Guangxu was secluded in his palace in Yingtai, and concubine Zhenfei was also put under house arrest, and they were unable to see each other. Zhenfei was later killed by Cixi, the mother of Guangxu. Guangxu himself did not live long, either, leaving behind a poignant love story.
The opera, re-written by Lei Meng Hang from Hong Kong, is entirely re-rendered and staged by Macao artists. Heading the list of actors is the renowned actress Li Shuqun, playing the role of huadan.
