Sweet Dew On A Beautiful Flower

Description

Description

Meng Qiao, son of the Lord of Ning, who encounters and falls in love with a sing-song girl called Shan Yanwen. Impressed by Yanwen’s extensive learning that sets her apart from ordinary girls, the lord consents to their marriage. To hide Yanwen’s background, the sing-song house is ordered to close down, depriving the other sing-song girls of their living. Mengxia is the one who harbours the bitterest hatred, and it becomes a motive to kill. On the day that Qiao’s son reaches his first month, Mengxia poisons Qiao to death. Yanwen gets implicated and is expelled. Eighteen years later, Yanwen manages to reunite with her eldest son. The lord, however, brings up the murder case and orders the execution of Yanwen. In a heartbreaking scene on an execution ground, the son feeds his condemned mother a meal.
