Zhang Junrui, a scholar, met Cui Yingying, the daughter of the Prime Minister, in Pujiu Temple, and he fell in love with her.

Mountain thieves attacked, trying to rob Yingying as a cottage lady. Yingying's mother promised to betroth Yingying to the rescuer.

Ruizhi retired the mountain thief, but Yingying's mother was treacherous. The maid-in-waiting matchmaker was not angry, but persuaded Yingying's mother with clever tricks and achieved Yingying and Rui.
