Juxian is the top prostitute in a flower brothel. She is adored by Duan Xiaolou, a famous actress in Kyoto. When Duan Xiaolou sang operas, he often visited the flower floor to find Juxian for recreation. Later, after a long period of love, they finally got married, but this caused dissatisfaction with Cheng Dieyi, the younger brother who grew up with Duan Xiaolou.

Cheng Dieyi has always admired her brother Duan Xiaolou, and they agreed to sing Farewell My Concubine for life. For the combination of Juxian and Duan Xiaolou, Cheng Dieyi was both jealous and sad. After the founding of New China, the Cultural Revolution broke out, the actors were beaten into feudal ubers, and Duan Xiaolou was forced to expose all kinds of right and wrong in Cheng Dieyi. Cheng Dieyi was extremely indignant when he saw that Duan Xiaolou was bent down and "overlord was absent", so he exposed the life experience of prostitutes in Juxian County.

Duan Xiaolou was persecuted by the Red Guards and said against her will that she didn't like Juxian, which made Juxian see Duan Xiaolou thoroughly. She paid so much and got something. Later, after saying goodbye to Cheng Dieyi, Juxian hanged herself in her room.
