[Introduction to the Story]

Song Lian, a stepmother obsessed with money, married Master Chen as his fourth wife. After studying in college for half a year, Song Lian, a young woman with two long black pigtails and a student costume, married in this castle-like compound-Chen Zhai, which is connected by many houses.

Chen's four wives live in four yards. Whenever the red lantern is hung high in a lady's house, the old man Chen lives in that yard that night. All four wives want to be loved by their masters, so this Chen family has many stories of jealousness and jealousy.

The first wife was fat and bloated. In Song Lian's eyes, she was even a hundred years old. Mistress has a sweet mouth-she talks about the face of a bodhisattva, but there is a knife and a scorpion's heart behind her. The third wife used to be a famous dancer in the troupe, with delicate appearance and sharp temperament.

Song Lian, a newcomer, was squealed by his ex-girlfriends. She has no experience and wants to win the favor of her master with fake pregnancy. I don't want this matter to be seen through by Yaner, a servant girl who wants to be Mrs. Chen, and told the second wife. When Master Chen learned that Song Lian was not pregnant, he ordered the lights to be turned off. The third wife was unfaithful to Mr. Gao, the doctor of the Chen family. She was reported by the second wife and killed in a small room on the balcony. Song Lian, who fell out of favor, finally understood, "Who are these people in this yard? They are like dogs, cats and mice, but they are not like people. " Song Lian is crazy. She went crazy under the Chen family's calculation.

The following year, Chen Fu Courtyard married his fifth wife.

[Film Review]

The film is adapted from Su Tong's novella "Wives and Concubines in Groups", which inherits and develops the theme and style of the original work, and reflects the life scene and corresponding survival principles of the polygamous feudal family. Song Lian, the heroine, is the core figure of the work. She was educated, and her personality was gradually distorted in order to occupy a place in Chen Fu's dark and intrigued living environment. Song Lian, played by actor Gong Li, was very successful, while He Caifei, who played the third aunt, and He Caifei, who played the second aunt, also performed well in the film. Ma Jingwu, the actor of Master Chen, doesn't have a positive shot in the film. He mainly reflects his existence with his voice, but shows a ruthless feudal paternalistic character image.
