During the Tongzhi period, Ma Jiecheng, an Englishman and director of Yihe Foreign Company in Shanghai, proposed to marry Su Wanjun, the third daughter of the Su family, the former prefect, with a thousand gold coins. Because her brother-in-law forced her to marry, Wan Jun was eager to break free from the shackles. Since she always admired Western civilization, she agreed to the marriage and traveled to Shanghai with Ma Jiecheng. Unexpectedly, British people in China have always had stereotypes and are not allowed to formally marry Chinese people. Therefore, although Ma Jiecheng promised to marry a wife, he never recognized Su Wanjun's identity outside the country. After Su Wanjun learned the truth, she ran away at night and temporarily took refuge with the tanci artist Xu Yueqing. She met Xu Yueqing's disciple Gao Xuejun, and the two gradually fell in love. Su Wanjun announced her divorce from Ma Jiecheng in a letter. Unexpectedly, Gao Xuejun misunderstood that she was greedy for vanity and wanted to rebuild the old relationship with Ma Jiecheng. In addition, the foreigner's escape from his concubine was discovered, so Su Wanjun ran away overnight. Ten years later, Gao Xuejun reunited with Su Wanjun in Qili Shantang... --The plot is fictitious, please do not imitate it.
