The Purple Hairpin

[Classic legendary operas of the Ming Dynasty | Ancient style talents and beauties | Perfection after abuse | Jianghu chivalry] At the Lantern Festival in Chang'an, Li Yi, a talented man from a poor family, met Huo Xiaoyu, the daughter of Prince Huo's palace. They used a purple jade hairpin as a matchmaker. Not long after their wedding, Li Yi went to Luoyang to take the exam and won the first prize in one fell swoop. However, he was plotted by the powerful and powerful Lieutenant Lu, who forced him into the marriage and forced him to marry his own daughter. Lieutenant Lu blocked the letters and spread the rumor that Li Yi had lost his heart and had married into his wife. After waiting for three years, Huo Xiaoyu's family fortune was depleted, so she sold her personal purple jade hairpin in exchange for travel expenses to find out about her husband. She lingered on the sick bed, shed tears all day long, and almost died. Fortunately, the reclusive hero in yellow came to his aid when he saw an injustice on the road, and forcibly brought Li Yi to meet Xiaoyu. The two confronted each other and complained about their lovesickness and grievances. The hero secretly communicated with the emperor and exposed the evil deeds of Taiwei Lu who took advantage of his power to force the marriage. The Holy Emperor demoted Li Yi and Xiaoyu to the rank of Taiwei, and the purple jade hairpin who had been separated at the beginning returned to his throne. After all kinds of hardships, the lovers finally stayed together.
