The two first meet when the Emperor accidentally frees the evil Fairy Enchantress (Cecilia Cheung), who then proceeds to get between Mo-Yim and the Emperor by proffering his/her affections. Mo-Yim spurns the Enchantress, so the Enchantress puts a curse on Mo-Yim. As long as she loves the Emperor, she'll be marred by a hideous mark on her face. Unlike the old TVB series, the mark isn't a half-black, half-white number, it's a simple red mark across one of Mo-Yim's eyes. She still looks pretty, but for some reason everyone in the movie runs like she's the Elephant Man. Undaunted, Mo-Yim swears to become Empress, but not without difficulties. The Emperor turns out to be a lazy, skirt-chasing ass who has no sense of women, much less politics. Disgusted at Mo-Yim's "ugliness," the Emperor instead turns to a female incarnation of the Fairy Enchantress, who inserts herself into the palace to make things even more difficult for Mo-Yim. Mo-Yim hangs around until she's actually needed, which is whenever a fight needs to be won. When the going gets tough for the Emperor, he calls on Mo-Yim to save the day, which she does though sometimes reluctantly.
