From the DVD back cover:

Unable to endure her stepmother after her father's death, nineteen-year-old
Songlian (Gong Li) decides to leave college and accept an offer of marriage to
the old master of the powerful Chen clan, Chen Zuoqian. Chen, at fifty, already
has three wives. Each wife is given her own house and courtyard within the family
compound. Each evening a red lantern is lit in front of the door of the wife with
whom the master chooses to sleep. Songlian soon finds life in the Chen mansion
revolves mainly around the rivalries between the wives. She herself is drawn into
the intrigues when she discovers that one wife is having a secret love affair
with the family doctor and another is actually plotting to destroy her with the
help of her maidservant, Yan'er. Songlian determines to have her revenge...

This is a complete (unshrunk) copy of the DVD but there are no menus or extras,
just the movie. That's how it was released (in China).
The subtitles are embedded in the video and can not be turned off. They are
unfortunately a little hard to read. Even so, if you like Chinese cinema its well
worth the download.
