A dying father’s wish is almost always that his daughter gets married, and she must do everything in her power to make it so. Unfortunately, a rich heiress must marry within her station, but woe, she loves another. She hatches a plan and makes a deal with her father’s right-hand man, one who has his sights set on so much more. In this twisted game of deception, one might find it hard to offend half a billion people, but sometimes you just do what you have to do. You probably won’t find a monkey, tiger, or too many stylish lamps, but you’ll still get some intense glares and a snake with an unrealistic appetite in this fractured retelling of a classic tale.
