    • As war looms in Shanghai, glamorous libertine MO JIEYU (Cecilia Cheung) runs into
      playboy XIE YIFAN (Jang Dong-Gun), an ex boyfriend who's never stopped loving her, and
      persuades him to play a treacherous game. Xie must seduce the innocent and naïve DU
      FENYU (Zhang Ziyi) and then dump her. But the game becomes increasingly dangerous
      as Xie falls in love with Du, and it will lead them all towards tragic and shocking
      consequences.
