The opera is an interpretation of Hamlet.
When King Bo dies suddenly, his younger brother Yong Shu usurps the throne. His accomplice is the widowed Queen Jiang Rong whom he has seduced and married. So smitten is the Queen with her new husband that Jiang Rong is even prepared to betray her own son, Prince Zi Dan. When Zi Dan learns of this treachery from the ghost of his father, the scene is set for tragedy.
