A young Prince is married against his will because his father needs an alliance with a neighboring kingdom. But the Prince wants to become a monk and flees among the common people, which are terrorized by a evil sorcerer and his cult.

This early Brigitte Lin film is based on the same Chinese folk tale that Tsui Hark later used as his source for The Green Snake. It is the story of two sister snakes that want to feel what it is to be human and one of them needs to know what it is to feel human love. It is a sweet magical but ultimately tragic tale of breaking societal taboos. - brns.com
