'''''[[The Banquet''']]'', known also by its international release title '''''Legend of the Black Scorpion''''' is a 2006 [[Wuxia]] adaptation of Shakespeare's ''[[Hamlet]]'', with a few notable changes and twists. Gertrude's [[Expy]], the empress Wan, is rewritten as a much younger and more ambitious woman, who is playing a game of her own as the revenge plot marches on.
 
In the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Wu Luan is a prince who has left home to pursue the arts to forget his heartbreak. His father has taken and married the woman he loved. Three years later, his uncle murders his father and takes the throne and Wan for himself. Wu Luan returns to court at the summons of the empress to protect him from assassination attempts, and from here he attempts to learn the truth of his father's death and exact revenge on his uncle.
