Now: The factions of New Peking have become restless as the Empress Chiang Tien-Mu becomes more and more ruthless in her rule. Her daughter, Jia Li, in opposition of the atrocities the Empress has committed, finds herself tumbling down a path of betrayal and self-introspection as she joins the revolutionaries in their attempt to overthrow the government .
