公元前494年会稽山一战，越王勾践落败于吴王，走投无路，承诺越国永世臣服。为奴三年后，吴王夫差终于放他回到越国。为了保全、重振越国，勾践将美艳的越女西施和郑旦送进了吴王豪华的宫殿。在吴王夫差用珠宝、美酒堆砌的爱恋中，西施时时刻刻心念着自己的祖国。大将军伍子胥始终反对吴王放勾践回国，并认为西施和郑旦是红颜祸水。在酒宴上劝谏不成，他愤而将郑旦当场刺死。西施悲痛欲绝，以死相逼，使吴王杀死了伍子胥。

伍子胥的逝去让越国增强了战胜吴国的信心。越王勾践趁机发兵，横扫吴国，血洗前耻。在战败的吴宫中，西施换上自己祖国的服装，盼望着回到故乡。正在此时，出乎她意料的事情发生了……

Brief Introduction:
By the end of the Spring and Autumn period,the defeated King Gou Jian of Yue is released by King Fu Chai of Wu after three years’ slavery in Wu.
Secretly planning his revenge and the renaissance of the State of Yue, Gou Jian decides to offer beautiful Xi Shi and Zheng Dan as a tribute to King Fu Chai to satisfy his appetite for pretty women. Reluctant as she is, Xi Shi agrees to go, for the sake of her own country.
For no moment does she forget her own country and her mission, even when she is deeply encircled by King Fu Chai’s love and affection.When Zheng Dan, another of Fu Chai’s favorite concubines, is stabbed to death by the great general Wu Zixu who comes to submit advice to Fu Chai, claiming Zheng as a dangerous beauty, Xi Shi pretends to commit suicide, which ignites King of Wu into a fury so that he kills Wu Zixu, his best advisor.
Yue’s confidence in defeating Wu is fermented by Wu Zixu’s death. After ten years’ accumulation in strength, and another the years’ training of the military force, Yue lauches its strike timely and puts Wu’s army into full rout, which puts an end to Gou Jian’s long lasting shame of being defeated years ago.
As for Xi Shi, the heroine of Yue, clad with the clothes from her own country, is waiting anxiously to go back home in the palace of Wu. However, what’s waiting for her is not home,but death plotted by the jealous Queen of Yue who is deeply worried about losing the queen throne to Xi Shi once she comes back…
