Background Information
A smash hit in Hong Kong television programming, War and Beauty stars the royalty of TVB actresses: Gigi Lai, Maggie Cheung Ho Yee, Chan Sau Chu, Sheren Tang, and Charmaine Sheh. This historical drama broke all records since 1998, attracting close to 3 million viewers, almost half of Hong Kong's population! The story, set in the Royal Court during the Qin dynasty, with the four female leads fighting for the heart of the Emperor Jiaqing (1796-1820), which in turn means power and prestige. Imagine all six wives of Henry VIII all living under the same court fighting for his love and you will have a basic premise of War and Beauty. But in a court where there are many more wives, of which there are different ranks, Henry VIII's wives feel like day care teachers by comparison! These women of the Emperor will use every dirty trick in the book: back-stabbing, gossiping, mind-games and the occasional murder or two to get ahead. One reason for this show's popularity is that the dirty politics to get ahead struck a chord with the mass of office workers in Hong Kong, with many feeling the series in an allegory of office politics. War and Beauty is a rare show where women of a men-dominated world get to take center stage. Shot on location in Beijing's Forbidden City, the audience can witness the grandeur of Qin Palaces and snowy exteriors. With one intrigue after another, never ending shocks and shifts; it is an irresistible drama that is impossible not to watch episode after episode.

Synopsis
Fifteen years after Qing Emperor Jiaqing was crowned, the country appears to be in harmony. However, fights between the imperial concubines escalate. Beauty never lasts. All the imperial concubines, including the emperor's beloved Yu Fei (Sheren Tang), understand this and become nervous when the triennial imperial concubine election approaches. Yu Fei's position is threatened by an imperial descendant Yuk Ying (Gigi Lai), a powerful eunuch's adopted daughter Yee Shun (Charmaine Sheh) and an experienced imperial servant maid On Sin (Maggie Cheung Ho Yee). They are friends and enemies in the war for the emperor's love. Yee Shun later falls for imperial physician, Bak Yeung (Bowie Lam) who also stole the hearts of courtesan, Heung Fou (Patricia Liu), Lady Fuk (Jade Leung) as well as his lonely wife (Irene Wong) but Bak Yeung only has eyes for Yuk Ying, the woman who loved him the least. When she is still a palace maid, On Sin falls for imperial guard, Hung Mo (Moses Chan) but the later keeps his distance from her when she becomes a Lady, the emperor's woman. Hung Mo then finds companionship with the lonely Yu Fei, who has fallen out of power.
