After only half a year in college, the money-hungry mother forces Songlian (Gong Li) to marry into the Chen family, becoming the fourth concubine of the master. In the Chen residence, there is an old rule: the concubines must stand in front of their own rooms in the evening, waiting for the red lantern that signifies the master has come to "visit." At first, due to her "newcomer" status, Songlian receives the most favor from the master, but this also leads to her being bullied by the other three concubines, especially the scheming second concubine (Cao Cuifen). Being inexperienced in the ways of the world and inherently rebellious, Songlian desperately wants to prove herself and become the master's favorite, but her plan gets seen through, leading to her tragic downfall at the hands of the second concubine. Although the experiences of the third concubine (He Saifei) are vastly different from Songlian's, they both ultimately cannot escape their fate.
