Output (English): The film is set in Ming Dynasty, China. Li Yilong Tony Leung Chiu Wai is the town bully, known for his boorish manners and reckless attitude which have endeared him to no one, save his sister Feng Vicki Zhao who has a curious penchant for crossdressing. It is apparent early on that both these siblings are such misfits they have virtually no prospect of marriage. Faye Wong is cast as a runaway princess who is dressed as a man, a disguise which fools both Long and Feng. Long immediately decides that he likes his newfound friend so much that he will entrust his sisters hand in marriage to him. The princess, of course, cannot marry another woman and tried to fend off Longs suggestions of a match; but also, she is attracted to Long. Emperor Zheng De Chang Chen also leaves his palace temporarily to search for his missing sister. He dresses like a commoner and by a twist of fate meets Feng. He is smitten with Feng, and begins to court her, while keeping his imperial identity secret from her. His motives for leaving the palace also included the fact that he is unhappy and lonely at court and wants to escape the smothering influence of the Empress Dowager Rebecca Pan, his mother, who plays a dictatorial role in the actions of her son. A convoy of imperial guards try to protect him while he is out in town and bring the Emperor back to the palace, but unsuccessfully. The Princess is also assisted by her fairy godmother Athena Chu in marrying her match. The Empress Dowager hears of her wayward children and storms Longs house, where her children are holed up, only to hear that they wish to marry two commoners with unwholesome and eccentric tendencies. The Emperor is adamant about marrying Feng and the Empress Dowager relents, but Long is unable to pass a ring test to prove he is the destined one and the Empress Dowager forbids his marriage to her daughter. All ends well, however. After a separation, Long is enlightened by the fairy godmother and passes the ring test. He is reunited with the Princess, the Empress Dowager accepts him, and happiness reigns.
