In patriarchal, 1700s China, the Matchmaker manipulates the red thread of fate with magic, keeping girls bound to the husbands she chooses for them. When a high-society Han Chinese girl and a Mongol girl on the run fall in love, they must break free of the Matchmaker’s thread in order to weave their own fate.
