The Crimson Silk

Synopsis

After a foreign invasion, Yu Qinghuan and her sister, Yu Qingqiu, are left to survive together, with Yu Qingqiu supporting them by singing opera. However, Yu Qingqiu is taken as the fourth concubine by a wealthy merchant, Wei Qishan, and her life ends tragically when the other wives murder her. Yu Qinghuan witnesses it all. Driven by revenge, she returns to the stage. Nine years later, now a celebrated opera star, Yu Qinghuan catches Wei Qishan's eye, and he brings her into his household—just as he did with her sister years before.
