The Beauty of Beauties, the spectacular historical epic that swept the Golden Horse Awards (winning for best feature film, director, actor, color cinematography, and art direction), is a story drawn from China's legendary Warring States Period,. The King of Yueh, Goujian (Lei Zhao), is defeated and imprisoned by the King of Wu, Fucha (Mu Chu). But when Goujian returns to his much-maligned homeland, he is determined to defeat Wu once and for all, with a secret weapon: a local beauty named XI Si (Ching Chiang), who is sent to serve Fucha and lure him to his doom.
