But when the Queen Mother went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers and came to the ancient capital of Xi'an, she discovered that Bai Mudan, the oiran of the local troupe, looked exactly like Concubine Zhen! But Bai Mudan, whose real name is Siqin, has a long-term marriage with Chen Ran, a patriotic young man who returned from five years in Europe and who helped the Empress Dowager Cixi and others on their way to Xi'an. He also has an inextricable relationship with Han Yuxuan, the governor of Shaanxi.
