"China, Later Tang Dynasty, 10th
Century. On the eve of the Chong Yang Festival, golden flowers fill
the Imperial Palace. The Emperor (Chow Yun Fat) returns
unexpectedly with his second son, Prince Jai (Jay Chou). His
pretext is to celebrate the holiday with his family, but given the
chilled relations between the Emperor and the ailing Empress (Gong
Li), this seems disingenuous. For many years, the Empress and Crown
Prince Wan (Liu Ye), her stepson, have had an illicit liaison.
Feeling trapped, Prince Wan dreams of escaping the palace with his
secret love Chan (Li Man), the Imperial Doctor's daughter.
Meanwhile, Prince Jai, the faithful son, grows worried over the
Empress's health and her obsession with golden chrysanthemums.
Could she be headed down an ominous path? The Emperor harbors
equally clandestine plans; the Imperial Doctor (Ni Dahong) is the
only one privy to his machinations. When the Emperor senses a
looming threat, he relocates the doctor's family from the Palace to
a remote area. While they are en route, mysterious assassins attack
them. Chan and her mother, Jiang Shi (Chen Jin) are forced back to
the palace. Their return sets off a tumultuous sequence of dark
surprises. Amid the glamour and grandeur of the festival, ugly
secrets are revealed. As the Imperial Family continues its
elaborate charade in a palatial setting, thousands of golden
armored warriors charge the palace. Who is behind this brutal
rebellion? Where do Prince Jai's loyalties lie? Between love and
desire, is there a final winner? Against a moonlit night, thousands
of chrysanthemum blossoms are trampled as blood spills across the
Imperial Palace."
