At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Yang Naiwu, a scholar from Yuhang, gave a banquet to celebrate. Bi Xiugu, the first wife of tenant Ge Xiao, is quite attractive and is called "Chinese cabbage". She was originally a child bride of the Ge family, and once worked as a domestic helper in the Yang family. She had long been in love with Yang Naiwu, but due to her courtesy and fame, it was difficult to get married, so she had to get married separately. Liu Xitong, a magistrate of Yuhang County, once collected bribes and embezzled ink for overcharging money and food. He was contacted by Yang Naiwu and sent a letter to the scholar, which broke his fortune and made him feel resentful. His son Liu Zihe raped Bi Xiugu with roofies and poisoned her husband Ge Xiaoda.
