In the stale and oppressive feudal era, women had no freedom. Love was an illusory thing they had never heard of before, and it was a terrifying thing they could never touch easily throughout their lives. They spent their entire lives tightly locking their souls for that archway of chastity. The Ai 'e Beach, which has produced chaste and beautiful women since ancient times, still has 15 archways standing there. The archway embodies the bitterness of the world and the hardships of life. Sadly, there is no difference in the fate of women, whether in ancient or modern times. In modern society, Wu Laolao, the owner of the Night Jasmine Tavern, has a hidden problem. He gradually develops a perverted possessiveness towards his beautiful wife, Guihua (played by Gu Yan). Guohua proposed divorce, but to her surprise, it was opposed by the entire village. During the Qing Dynasty, Qingyu (played by Fu Yiwei), a girl in the prime of her youth, had no choice but to consider her husband a widow and move into a chastity room. She witnessed the sacrifices made by her fifth aunt for love and also lamented her own miserable fate.[Collapse]
