Artwork made for 88 Films' Blu-Ray release of the Taiwanese historical epic by acclaimed filmmaker Li Han-Hsiang.

Set during China’s 'Warring States Period' - two kings are embroiled in a bitter struggle. The film centres around Xi Shi (Hsi Shih/西施) - one of the renowned 'Four Beauties' of ancient China. Said in the film to be "as beautiful as peach blossoms" (a motif I sought to reflect in the artwork). Using her influence and cunning, she must infiltrate the palace of the King attacking her homeland and turn the tide of the conflict.

The film won 5 Golden Horse Awards upon it's release, including Best Feature Film.
