In the tumultuous era of early Republican China, the country is unstable, and warlord factions lead to widespread suffering. Cao Yun (played by Brigitte Lin) is the daughter of the powerful warlord General Cao and is also a patriot. However, unwilling to see her father borrow huge sums from foreign banks in the name of the country, further aggravating the country's finances, she secretly contacts revolutionaries. Torn between her loyalty to her country and her father, Cao Yun is caught in an inner struggle. Bai Niu (played by Ellen Chan) grew up in the opera troupe Chunhe, where the troupe master's father (played by Wu Ma) treated her as a servant. Obsessed with singing, she has always dreamed of performing on stage but has never had the chance. Xiang Hong (played by Cherie Chung) is a money-hungry courtesan who, during a warlord's escape, steals a large box of jewelry from his home, inadvertently ending up transporting the jewels into the Chunhe troupe. These three women meet by chance, and through the intertwining of their lives, they together weave a patriotic legend...
