Adapted from a chapter of the same title in Lasting Words to Awaken the World written by Feng Menglong, the film stars Tang Bik-wan as the beautiful and well-read Su who falls in love with the talented Chun played by Sun Ma Si-tsang. Su, dressed as a man, meets Chun in a literary gathering. The two play literary games against each other and develop mutual admiration. When Chun returns to his hometown, Su sees him off and hints that 'he' wants Chun to marry 'his sister'. Chun subsequently visits Su's family, yet is repeatedly teased by her. Even on the wedding night, Su makes Chun solve three difficult puzzles! Tang's charismatic performance as a lettered gentleman in the first half of the film is particularly captivating. Her excellent singing in both zihou (falsetto voice) and pinghou (modal voice) is on display in the scene adapting the plot of 'walking 18 miles to send off his sworn brother' in the Chinese tale, Butterfly Lovers.
