The story follows Feng Yu Ji, a woman living under an assumed name, who returns to the Shen household under the guise of her twin sister, the young mistress of the Shen family, to seek revenge for her sister. She gets close to Shen Tan Qian, the son of a wealthy merchant, and begins investigating the truth behind a long-buried murder case, ultimately revealing the true culprit and ensuring they face justice. Throughout this journey, Feng Yu Ji and Shen Tan Qian move from mutual distrust to open honesty, and eventually, they heal each other. With courage, wisdom, and the power of their sacrificial love, they bring the truth to light. As the truth unfolds, their combined efforts also eradicate the Shen family's opium trade with the Japanese, gradually ending the city's opium addiction and establishing a new era of science and civilization.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
