The Bride with White Hair
The Bride with White Hair (白髮魔女傳) is a 1993 Hong Kong wuxia film directed by Ronny Yu, starring Brigitte Lin and Leslie Cheung.
The film's main character, Lian Nichang, is loosely based on the protagonist of Liang Yusheng's novel Baifa Monü Zhuan, which served as source material for the 1982 film Wolf Devil Woman. However, Ronny Yu saw the film as a Romeo and Juliet story and said that the lovers' struggle against fate and their heroic duty inspired him more than the familiar trappings of most wuxia films. As such, the film departs significantly from the original source.
A sequel, The Bride with White Hair 2, directed by David Wu, was released later in the same year.
Zhuo Yihang, a chivalrous swordsman of the Wudang Sect, leads a coalition force formed by the eight major martial arts sects in the jianghu to destroy an evil martial arts cult.
During a confrontation with the cult, Zhuo Yihang meets a young swordswoman, Lian Nichang, and falls in love with her. She is an orphan initially raised by wolves before being adopted by Ji Wushuang, the conjoined twins who lead the cult. After consummating their romance, Lian Nichang decides to leave the cult and follow Zhuo Yihang in pursuit of an ordinary life away from the jianghu.
Lian Nichang leaves the cult after suffering great pains. Meanwhile, Zhuo Yihang returns to the Wudang Sect and sees that his fellow Wudang members have been killed. The coalition believes that Lian Nichang is responsible so they attack her when she arrives to meet Zhuo Yihang. Zhuo Yihang is forced to turn against Lian Nichang.
Devastated by her lover's betrayal, Lian Nichang transforms into a vicious white-haired killer and slays all the coalition members present. Suddenly, Ji Wushuang appears and reveals that they are the ones who killed the Wudang members. Zhuo Yihang and Lian Nichang join forces to defeat and kill Ji Wushuang. However, even after the victory, Lian Nichang vows never to forgive Zhuo Yihang for betraying her and walks away while he looks on helplessly.
In a brief epilogue set years later, Zhuo Yihang is alone in a remote mountainous region guarding a rare flower that is said to bloom only once every several decades and has the ability to turn white hair back to dark. Believing that it can cure the harm he has inflicted on Lian Nichang, he waits silently in the hope of reconciling with her.
