The eldest young master of the Pei residence, Pei Zhaolin, was as pure and noble as clear breeze and bright moon, a dragon among men; Cui Jintang, who had just come down from the mountains, was captivated at first sight. 　　Under the name of a benefactor she temporarily stayed at the Pei household, spending three years scheming to seduce him…… 　　At long last she won Pei Zhaolin’s words, “I love you,” but he then lost his memory — and it was to save the childhood sweetheart lodged in his heart. 　　She thought that as long as his memory returned, everything would go back to normal. 　　…… 　　Until she heard that Pei Zhaolin seemed to have regained his memory. She joyfully returned home, stood outside the corridor, and clearly heard him coldly remark: 　　“An unpresentable orphan girl — a legitimate wife? She’s not worthy.” 　　The ridicule of everyone snapped Cui Jintang awake. 　　She chose the most decisive course: she faked her death before all. 　　That night, with all memories returned, Pei Zhaolin’s eyes turned bloodshot; holding what he thought was her corpse, he raised his sword to stab himself in a suicidal pledge of love. 　　Later, renamed and disguised, Cui Jintang dragged her friends along to seek pleasure and merriment—admiring flowers and listening to music, very happy. 　　One night, just after leaving the bathhouse, she saw her long-unseen former fiancé sitting at the bedside, a man’s coat still hooked on his fingertips. 　　His expression was obsessive and mad. 　　“Tang Tang, how did it come to this? If you like, he and I will serve you together, shall we?” “I beg you, just don’t leave me again.”
