In order to woo Princess Danfeng of Red Flower State, Prince Bai Tongling of White Gold State invades the Yellow Dragon State in a bid to make its Crown Prince Li Hunsu a political hostage to Red Flower State. But Li escapes and reaches a rural district, where he meets a village girl, Jiao Jiao, and her lover Pee Wee. Li and Pee Wee somehow mistakenly swap identities before they are both sent to Red Flower State as political hostages. Princess Dangeng falls in love with Li and wants to make him her consort. Bai hires a killer to make Li disappear forever. Pee Wee, out of patriotism, is ready to sacrifice himself on Li’s behalf. During the struggle, Pee Wee’s three moles on the chest are exposed. On seeing the birth marks, the King of Red flower State suspects Pee Wee is his son born to a woman whom he met years ago. His suspicion is confirmed and Pee Wee is proved to be his son. Li also owns up to his true identity of Crown Prince. The King of Red Flower decides to forge an alliance with Yellow Dragon State and give his daughter’s hand to Li. Jiao Jiao acquires immediate royal status when she marries Pee Wee. Bai Tongling is left with neither wife nor victory after much ado about nothing.
