    Winner takes all.

    A frantic royal family seeks to regain its honor by marrying off its young princess. But finding her a prospective mate who is up to snuff is the least of their worries; finding anyone who can bear to be in the same room with her is downright impossible owing to her unfortunate and mysterious birth defect-- an incomprehensible bodily odor. At their wits' end, the emperor and empress send a proclamation throughout their land to find the man who can cure her and become her husband. Enter an aspiring aromatherapist, Richie Jen (here listed Richie Ren), who is driven by a passion to validate his life's work. But he isn't the only one who has set his sights on the prize-- there's plenty of other palace intrigue going on beneath surface. But, with the aid of a young woman played by Miriam Yeung and her fishmonger friends, Jen(Ren)is determined he can succeed.

    Light weight comedy with some moments of downright silliness and beautiful costumes and sets.

    FUN FUN COMEDY

    This is a fun comedy about an emperor in an ancient kingdom with 12 princes and now is overjoyed at the birth of a daughter. (geesh, his wife must be happy too!) However...she is stricken with a strange affliction-an overpowering horrible body order. (the baby princess is so cute) Well, the emperor tries to find a cure to help this lovely princess, the wonderful Miriam Yeung. = I watched this aboard SINGAPORE AIRLINES (incredible list of films to watch...over 60...many international). I had to catch myself several times for I was laughing out loud over the fun antics. The beginning of the first half of the film is a stunning comedy. It does slow down a bit in the middle, thank goodness, then has a very nice ending, though predictable. due to the absolute fun trip, one is totally forgiving to the predictable ending. = The cast was great...Ms. Yeung was incredible. Perfect timing and just lovely. It seemed the whole cast must of had a blast making this film. The 'bloopers' at the end of the film were not translated, and they would of been enjoyed by those who loved the film. = Lots of silliness, enjoyable and visually beautiful. Costumes and settings were stunning.
