As a young man, Li Ling, a "bastard son," had an older student he had secretly loved for years: Wei Hanqing, as pure and untouchable as the moon.
Stubborn and with nothing to his name, Li Ling recklessly charged ahead, chanting that "love is more important than anything," until he discovered that Wei Hanqing also had a "moonlight" he had long loved, and that the two of them seemed better suited to each other.
Refusing to believe in fate or take no for an answer, Li Ling ultimately did something to Wei Hanqing, driven by selfish desire, that could never be undone.
From then on, the moon sank, and its light could no longer warm Li Ling's desolate heart.
Having gotten what he wanted, Li Ling used coercion to keep Wei Hanqing firmly in his grasp. They married, stayed together, and tormented each other for four years.
Until it seemed even the heavens could no longer bear watching this unhappy couple torment one another.
Li Ling fell ill and was about to die, while Wei Hanqing's "moonlight" returned to the country.
At last, this farce seemed about to reach its conclusion.
