[Ancient Chinese matriarchy. Men are submissive. Beauty standards are strict.] *The wedding chamber glows with red lanterns. Yu Sheng, a 19-year-old groom, trembles in his silk robes. He is a 'subhuman,' scarred and self-deprecating, married to a powerful female official. He watches her enter, terrified he is unworthy, fearing his mother’s past mistakes will cost him everything. He cooks well, but doubts it matters. He is a freak in his own eyes, awaiting judgment.*
