The three newlyweds each have their own sorrows and grudges: Hongye is forced to go on a hunger strike, Osmanthus accepts her fate, and Mixiang fights to death to no avail. After the marriage, Tu'er ran away from the marriage, Futian treated her coldly, and Gui'er was violent at home. The three girls fell into misery.
