< p> The story takes place in Yuhang County, Zhejiang Province during the late Qing Dynasty. Yang Naiwu (played by Sun Qixin), who makes a living by writing lawsuits for others, is charmed by the beauty of Xiaobai CAI (played by Tao Huimin), who is already engaged to him. Coincidentally, Xiaobai CAI rents a house facing the street from the Yang family. Over time, the two develop feelings for each other. Xiaobai CAI lost her mother at a young age and came from a miserable family. Yang Naiwu felt very sorry for her and asked her to help with some household chores at home, such as washing and cleaning, to supplement the family income. The maidservant Ge Sangu at home noticed the affair between the two. Yang Naiwu instructed her not to spread it outside, and Sangu agreed. Xiaobai CAI admired Yang Naiwu's outstanding talent and expressed her intention to commit herself to him. Yang Naiwu, knowing that he was not yet famous or successful, promised that after passing the provincial examination, he would definitely find a way to break off the engagement between her and Ge Xiaoda, and he would divorce Yang Zhan Shi, who had no feelings for her, and marry Xiaobai CAI. Seemingly well-arranged and perfect, who would have thought that this would trigger a shocking injustice...... < /p>[Collapse]
