The New Case of the Beautiful Lady tells the story of Chen Shimei (played by Ding Zhicheng) and Qin Xianglian (played by Hao Lei) from Hejian during the Song Dynasty. They were childhood sweethearts and loved each other through thick and thin. However, the Qin family, disregarding Shimei's humble birth, refused to marry their daughter and arranged the wedding privately. In a moment of desperation, Shi Mei Xiang Lian agreed to elope. However, that very night, a bloody and tragic incident occurred at the Jin Yun Embroidery Workshop where they met - their friend Xiao Xia and her husband's entire family were killed for no reason... It turned out that all of this was done by Guo Huai (played by Fu Biao), the current chief of the imperial household. Many years ago, in the palace, Liu Fei, in order to compete for the favor of Li Fei, colluded with Guo Huai and Pang Taishi to kidnap Li Fei's children and burn her to death in the cold palace. As a result, Liu Fei became the mother of the current emperor. Nowadays, a piece of embroidered handkerchief that has spread out from Jinyun Embroidery Workshop makes Guo Huai firmly believe that Li Fei is still alive on earth... The bloody incident at Jinyun Embroidery Workshop revealed the true identity of Chen Shimei. From his master, Elder Jingtong, he learned that he was the orphan of the loyal and virtuous Chen Zhongfei. In the past, Chen Zhongfei shed his blood in the wilderness to protect Empress Li. At the earnest request of Elder Jingtong, Father Qin arranged the marriage of Shimei Xianglian. Who would have thought that on Shi Mei's way to the capital for the imperial examination, Guo Zheng and others falsely issued an imperial edict and massacred Qin Xianglian's entire family... Upon hearing the bad news, Shi Mei vowed to take revenge and passed the imperial examination. He met his imperial sister, Princess Ziyu (played by He Lin), and decided to use the power of the royal family to fight against Grand Tutor Pang. Little did they know that fate would play a trick on them. Just as Chen Shimei and the princess were getting married, Qin Xianglian, along with her daughter, endured hardships all the way to search for her husband in Bianliang. The situation suddenly changed. Grand Tutor Pang sued Chen Shimei, demanding that he be sentenced to death for betraying the emperor...[Collapse]
