The story opens in 9th century China where the Imperial
Court and the powerful Weibo military province co-exist in an uneasy truce. The
opening sequence introduces self-possessed protag Nie Yinniang (Shu Qi) and the
“princess-nun” Jiaxin (Sheu Fang-yi) to whom she has been entrusted for her
education. Though her parents back at the Weibo court may not know it, this
consists in turning her into a killing machine of matchless skill, which she
demonstrates in the pre-credit sequence. Striking with the speed of a cobra,
she probably takes less than three seconds of screen time to slit the throat of
a man on horseback. This is the first indication that Hou is deliberately out
of the race to create longer, ever-more-astonishing and exciting aerial battles
on wires; instead the film follows a formal logic of its own, where fight
scenes are brief and to-the-point
