Description:
The story takes place during the Zhenyuan era of the Tang Dynasty. Madam Cui (Wang Fu-Li) sets out for Pujiu Temple with her daughter Cui Ying-Ying (Chen Li-Feng), the maid Hong Niang (Liu Xin), and others to hold a memorial service for the late Chancellor Cui. On the way, their carriage is suddenly startled, and a scholar from Luoyang, Zhang Sheng (Alec Su), happens to ride to their rescue, averting a tragedy. Ying-Ying falls in love with the imposing Zhang Sheng at first sight. The clever Hong Niang notices everything and resolves to play matchmaker, while Zhang Sheng, his heart also stirred, sends the abbot to propose marriage, but Madam Cui refuses. Show more General Sun Biao (Li Jian-Yi), stationed in the city, covets Ying-Ying's beauty and brings soldiers to seize her for marriage. Hong Niang steps forward bravely and with sharp words drives Sun Biao back, buying precious time for Zhang Sheng to summon reinforcements. Yet just then Madam Cui turns hostile, permitting Zhang Sheng and Ying-Ying to address each other only as brother and sister. Hong Niang sees this and frets, so she secretly arranges a meeting between the two, only to be discovered by Madam Cui. The time comes for Zhang Sheng to go to the capital for the imperial examination. He returns having come first in the exams.
