In the year 1864, during the reign of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, the fake eunuch Andehai, relying on the favor of the Empress Dowager Cixi (Liu Xiaoqing), acted recklessly in the court, showing disdain even for Emperor Tongzhi (Chen Daoming). When he learned of Emperor Tongzhi's relationship with the palace maid Guilian (Gong Li), he sought Cixi's approval under the pretext of marrying Guilian off to his "Second Brother," intending to force her into marriage. However, Guilian, fierce and unwilling to comply, was sold by Andehai into a brothel at Tianqiao in a fit of rage. Emperor Tongzhi, daring not to voice his anger, secretly visited the Tianqiao brothel. He seized the opportunity during Andehai's southern expedition to issue an edict to the Governor of Shandong, Ding Baozhen, to execute him on the spot, deepening the rift between him and Cixi. Upon learning that Tongzhi had contracted syphilis, Cixi forbade the Empress from bearing children, leading to Tongzhi's resentful death. Not long after, the Empress committed suicide, and the East Empress Dowager Cian (Chen Ye) mysteriously passed away.
