Full Summary:
The story, set in the Royal Court during the Qin dynasty, with the four female leads fighting for the heart of the Emperor Jiaqing (1796-1820), which in turn means power and prestige. Imagine all six wives of Henry VIII all living under the same court fighting for his love and you will have a basic premise of War and Beauty. But in a court where there are many more wives, of which there are different ranks, Henry VIII's wives feel like day care teachers by comparison! These women of the Emperor will use every dirty trick in the book: back-stabbing, gossiping, mind-games and the occasional murder or two to get ahead. One reason for this show's popularity is that the dirty politics to get ahead struck a chord with the mass of office workers in Hong Kong, with many feeling the series in an allegory of office politics.
