Word has it that Zhou Songyu met with disaster in Beiping.
Zhou Songyu was dead. On the day of her wedding, Duan Yiwan was supposed to marry Shen Zhuqing, but her stepmother and older sister, Duan Yibao, switched the match and sent her to the Zhou family instead. Three years later, Zhou Songyu returned. It turned out that the one who had died was Shen Zhuqing.
Zhou Songyu is the newly appointed military governor of the Presidential Palace in Nanjing. As soon as he returns, he wants to divorce his wife, Duan Yiwan, whom he has never met. Duan Yiwan happily agrees. But the moment they divorce, Zhou Songyu regrets it. He divorced Duan Yiwan so he could marry Duan Yiwan. Who could have guessed that the young lady in his household was the woman he loved?
Zhou Songyu: Heaven above! You can't play games like this!
Duan Yiwan is sent to marry into the military governor's residence in someone else's place again, and Zhou Songyu leaves her neglected in the rear courtyard. When they meet, Zhou Songyu throws his head back and cries, "Heaven above! Spare me, Shen Zhuqing!"
It turns out that Zhou Songyu is Shen Zhuqing, and the one who died back then was Zhou Songyu!
The military governor says:
Who would dare hit the military governor, except on the battlefield?
I never kneel to anyone except my parents.
I listen to no one except my superiors.
A real man should never bow his head before a woman.
Adjutant Zeng: You forgot one line, sir!
What line?
Adjutant Zeng: Your wife is the exception to all of the above.
Say another word and I'll dock your pay.
Duan Yiwan: Governor, I'm in a bad mood.
Adjutant Zeng: The governor is busy.
Governor: You idiot! Even if the sky falls, nothing can stop me from going home to keep my wife company when she's in a bad mood.
Later, Shen Zhuchuan says, "Heroes love beautiful women, gentlemen love beautiful women too, and villains love beautiful women even more. I'm a madman, and a madman loves only you."
Zhou Songyu scolds him: "She's my wife."
Theme: Loving only one person for a lifetime.
