A girl named Yang was orphaned early. The reigning emperor Xuanzong honored her with his favor, elevated him to the rank of "guifei" ("precious concubine") and generously bestowed. A rain of graces fell and the whole family of Yang, sister and brothers gained unprecedented power.

Gradually, the emperor stopped visiting other palace concubines. He spent days and nights with Yang Guifei, appeasing her with performances of skillful dancers, musicians, jugglers, magicians, tightrope walkers. The emperor’s attachment grew stronger, and the influence of the Yang family grew, no one could compete with them, there were no gifts.

For several times, the emperor tried to push Yang Guifei away from himself, but so yearned without her that he immediately returned her to the palace.

Years of great love flowed serenely until one of the imperial commanders, An Lushan, rebelled. It was then that it became clear how the Yang family hated the people, which was equal in power and wealth to the sovereign himself. Discontent was ripening in the troops. The soldiers loyal to the emperor first dealt with the minister from the Yang family, killing at the same time his son and other relatives. Then, the life of Yang Guifei was demanded from the emperor. Only when the rioters saw the dead body of the hated concubine did they calm down.

For the rest of the days, the emperor longed inconsolably for his beloved. Everything in the palace reminded of her. At his command, the Taoist sorcerer went to the afterlife, where he met with Yang Guifei. He promised her an early date with the emperor. And in fact, the emperor soon died and in a new life forever connected with his precious girlfriend.
