Scholar Zhang Chunlang is the only son of old grand counsellor Zhang Chongli. With his extraordinary talents and handsome looks, Chunlang is much favoured by the royal family. He is admired by Princess Shuangjiao, the only daughter of the emperor. Suggested by Lord of Lu, a founder of the country, Chunlang becomes the fiancee of the Princess. When Chunlang puts his visiting studies at Luoyang on hold and prepares to go back to the capital city to marry the Princess, he visits his childhood friend Monk Bankong at Qingyun Temple. At the same time, Princess Shuangjiao is also visiting Qingyun Temple. Out of curiosity, Chunlang disguises himself as a young monk to serve tea and get a glimpse of the Princess. His cover is blown and almost gets him executed. Luckily, the senior monk Facong asks for Chunlang’s mercy. Chunlang is forced to become a monk, meaning the royal wedding cannot be held as planned. At the palace, Princess Shuangjiao makes a scene. Her kind queen mother is anxious and panicking. Her father, the emperor, is indifferent to what happened. The enthusiastic and humorous Lord of Lu takes the initiative and facilitates the Princess to resolve the situation. However, both Chunlang and the Princess do not give in because of their own pride. After the couple get to learn more and understand about each other, Princess Shuangjiao cuts her hair as an apology to Chunlang. The couple becomes husband and wife in the end.
