The story follows Wen Pingsheng’s mother, who intends to marry her son to Fang Keqing. To her dismay, she finds out Pingsheng has married Zhao Pinniang. Though unhappy about the marriage, Mrs Wen has no choice but to accept it. Keqing’s elder brother, Sanlang, covets the beautiful Pinniang, and conspires with Keqing to bribe the doctor to give a false diagnosis that Pinniang has contracted a terminal disease. This gives Mrs Wen the excuse to force the couple to separate. Pingsheng secretly visits his sick wife, making Mrs Wen even more resentful of Pinniang. When Pingsheng is off to the battlefield to fight his enemies, Mrs Wen forces Pinniang to divorce her husband and sends her away. Pingsheng returns home victorious from the battle, and is shocked to learn that Pinniang has died. He refuses to marry Keqing and leaves home devastated and filled with grief.
