Shu Qi plays a village girl who is stuck between her childhood boyfriend and fake marriage husband during the Chinese-Japanese war.
Overview:
Manchuria 1941: Caught sleeping with his Japanese major's mistress, Manchurian collaborator Tung Fei (Jackson Liu Hsiu-hsien) fatally shoots the man and flees for his life. Overcome by fatigue after hours of travel on horseback, Tung eventually awakens to find himself under the care of hunter Suen (Dick Wei) and his daughter, Ironic (Hsu). Hiding his true identity, Tung is invited to stay on with the family until he has recovered. Joining in on a guerilla raid, Tung's ruse is compromised and he is forced to kill Ironic's lover, Little Tiger Wang. Suen was crippled in the attack and Ironic (now pregnant with Wang's child) agrees to her father's request that she marry Tung, in order that they have a healthy man to provide for them.
Ironic gives birth to a little girl who bears a strange resentment towards her stepfather and even tries to injure him. With their marriage starting to falter and Ironic refusing to let him touch her, Tung discovers his old lover working as a prostitute in a nearby village and takes up with her again. He also starts paying the woman not to see other men, using money that was meant to support his wife and father-in-law. Suen eventually discovers what Tung is up to, with predictably tragic results.
