"If you're not God, you're the Devil."

After studying drama in the UK, Dan-Feng returns to Taiwan to investigate her sister’s death. She suspects that her sister committed suicide because her boyfriend, JIANG Huai, jilted her. Out of bitterness, Dan-Feng begins to plot her revenge by seducing JIANG Huai and his childish brother. However, things don’t go to plan as she falls crazily in love with the enemy.

Adapted from master of romance Chiung-Yao’s bestselling novel, this story of trapped love features Brigitte LIN, who was one of Taiwan’s most sought-after stars in the romantic genre, as a fastidious girl working hard to get even for the dead but who suffers more when she discovers things are not as they appear. By having the femme fatale fall helplessly in love, director LIU Li-Li craftily blends film noir with melodrama, wonderfully creating subtle yet profound emotions through a female’s gentle perspective. Pop diva FENG Fei-Fei’s unforgettable theme song also amplifies the emotional resonance of this romantic tearjerker.   [Taiwan Cinema Toolkit]
