Curse of the golden flower

China, 10th century. The Emperor is returning from a long campaign. He is amazed by the cold meeting of the courtiers. The Empress carefully hides her secret relationship with the Crown Prince, and his son behaves strangely. The court is mired in love and political intrigues, entwining the palace like garlands of golden chrysanthemums. The emperor feels that they want to overthrow him. During the lavish ceremony of the traditional autumn festival, the palace is filled with warriors. There are thousands of crushed golden flowers on the square, stained with treacherous blood.
