In this cruel patriarchal world, women themselves may be a commodity without a clear price tag. Geisha, who can sing and dance, have a dignified manner, a good figure, exquisite makeup, a slight intentional provocation, can perform a plot of turning defeat into victory, and let a man go bankrupt for you, it is the value power of a woman.
The girl was born into a poor family of fishermen, and a seriously ill mother prompted a powerless father to sell his two daughters. The younger sister is just better-looking than the elder sister, so she is favored by fate. Maybe in this primitive social demand, the beautiful ones will sell better.
The appearance of an exquisite man has usurped the girl's history, and the girl's heart has ripples. In order to please the man in her heart, she is determined to become a geisha. The road of a geisha is of course difficult, but she upholds her talent and is helped by others, and the difficult road will be unraveled.
The Virgin Night is the final bargaining chip for geisha, and it is sold for the purpose of moving out. Of course, it needs to be calculated according to the high price. In today's society, who is not out to sell? We sell color, technology, talent, craftsmanship, physical strength, and creativity. The amount of money is the embodiment of our own value. In the end, the filthy doctor paid a high price to buy the first night of a geisha, and since then he has left the history of the highest price. Since men are willing to spend so much to buy a woman's first time, it proves that women have an extraordinary position in a patriarchal society for the first time.
The belated love, the geisha finally got together with the chairman, it is also a few years later, after the ups and downs of waiting, the love will come back sooner or later.
