During the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong Emperor Hongli once traveled incognito and met Xia Yuhe. They had a daughter, Xia Zhiwei. Years later, Xia Yuhe fell ill and died.
Before she died, Xia Yuhe told Xia Zhiwei about her parentage and sent her to the palace to find the emperor. She gave Xia Zhiwei a painting and a folding fan, telling her to use the painting to enter the palace and find her birth father.
Xia Zhiwei and her maid Jinsuo traveled all the way from Jinan to Beijing. They sought help from Lord Liang, but when all hope seemed lost, they happened to meet the heroine Xiaoyanzi. By accident, Xiaoyanzi entered the palace in Xia Zhiwei's place.
And so began the tale of two young women switching places.
