As she grew, her beauty and intelligence drew much attention. Colonel Itakura of the Kwantung Army and Naniwa, driven by political ambitions connecting Japan, Manchuria, and China, plotted to have Yoshiko marry the Mongolian Prince Kanchercha. However, Yoshiko's heart belonged to her riding instructor, Second Lieutenant Eisuke Yamano. Though they shared a secret love, Major Tashiro sensed this and had Yamano transferred to the Mukden special agency. Depressed, Yoshiko eventually accepted her adoptive father's persuasion and agreed to the political marriage. On the night of the wedding, the palace was attacked by the bandit Su Bingwen, and the prince was struck down by gunfire. Suddenly a queen, Yoshiko used her wit and courage to gain the trust of those around her, eventually leading the 3,000-strong Anguo Army. 【Related Titles from the Label】 Same Genre: 'Heroine of the East China Sea', 'Female Spy: Dawn's Challenge', 'Female Slave Ship', 'Spy and Chastity', 'Escape from the USSR: Female Doctor and the Fake Madman' Same Director: 'Submarine Ro-57 Not Yet Surfaced', 'Naked Woman on a Desert Island', 'Military Police' Cast (Miyuki Takakura): 'The Emperor, Empress, and the Sino-Japanese War', 'The Defiled Body: Saint', 'Fukeizu: Flowers Scattering in Yushima', 'The Female Thief Who Carries a Bomb' Cast (Ken Utsui): 'Wrath of the Queen Bee', 'King of Violence', 'Revenge of the Female Pearl King', 'Murder of the Body Actress: Five Criminals', 'Female Body Pier'
