Narrative and Structure Lust, Caution follows Wang Jiazhi (Tang Wei), a young Shanghai student who joins a clandestine patriotic group planning to assassinate Mr. Yee (Tony Leung), a high-ranking collaborator in the puppet regime. To get close to him, Wang assumes the role of a socially polished courtesan and enters a prolonged sexual and emotional liaison with Yee. The plot unfolds in three broad phases: recruitment and role-playing, infiltration and seduction, and the crisis of exposure and aftermath. This tripartite structure maps onto Wang’s psychological transformation: from idealistic political actor to conflicted lover to devastated survivor. Lee stretches scenes of intimacy and surveillance into prolonged, almost operatic sequences, forcing the viewer to inhabit the slow burn of the characters’ duplicities.

Wong menyamar sebagai Mrs. Mak , seorang istri pengusaha kaya, untuk menarik perhatian Mr. Yee dan memancingnya ke dalam jebakan pembunuhan.
