The Tang emperor (Li Longji) takes Yang Yuhuan for a concubine and gives her a title of ladyship. As a token of love, the emperor gives Yang a gold hairpin along with a jewel box. Meanwhile, An Lushan, the defeated frontier general, wages around and shows his ferocity after he bribed Lady Yang's brother, the Prime Minister Yang Guo Cheung, to have his life spared. And then the dissolute emperor has an affaire with Lady Yang's sister, the Duchess of Guo. Lady Yang is dismissed from the imperial palace because of her jealousy. She cuts off a lock of her hair and gives it to the emperor, once more uniting the two lovers.
