Description
Description
Guan Zhongfang, the daughter of a famous doctor, loses her eyesight amid the traumas of war, and leads a meagre life with her maid Chuyun. Later Zhongfang meets Qin Mengyu and they fall in love, but the two lose touch with each other in the chaos. General Qin Shuliang, who is in charge of blowing up a bridge, saves Zhongfang and has her eyesight restored. Out of gratitude, she feels obliged to marry Shuliang. On their wedding day, Mengyu, who happens to be the younger brother of Shuliang, is shocked to find out that his new sister-in-law is Zhongfang and falls ill. Their eldest brother, Boxian, unaware of Zhongfang and Mengyu’s position, asks the bride to attend to Mengyu’s sickness. On seeing each other again, love between Mengyu and Zhongfang is rekindled, and they have a child out of wedlock. Zhongfang’s maid Chuyun agrees to claim that she is the mother of the baby. Shuliang is defeated and maimed in battle, and wants to leave home with Zhongfang to live a secluded life. Boxian wants to play matchmaker between Mengyu and Princess Hua Yulan, so he expels Chuyun. On receipt of the wedding invitation, Zhongfang wants to go home to see Mengyu but Shuliang does not allow it. Then Chuyun recounts what happened before. Considering his own disability, Shuliang decides to return Zhongfang to Mengyu. When the Princess is saying her vows, Chuyun and Zhongfang vie for a reunion with Mengyu. As Shuliang says he is willing to take full responsibility for what transpires, Boxian finally lets Mengyu take Chuyun as his concubine, and the Princess cannot but agree to being one of Mengyu’s three wives.
