Synopsis
At the end of Ming Dynasty, Princess Chang Ping (長平公主) aged fifteen, becomes engaged with the son of a minister, Zhou Shi-xian (周世顯) with the King’s blessing. Unfortunately, very soon the Ming Dynasty is overthrown by Li Zi-cheng (李自成), and the Grand Palace quickly becomes occupied. Amid all these, Princess Chang Ping is rescued by Zhou Zhong (周鐘) . However, Zhou Zhong later wishes to surrender to the newly established Qing Dynasty, as a result, Princess Chang Ping has to disguise as a deceased nun to flee with the help from Zhou Zhong’s daughter – Hui Qing (慧清) and an old nun. One day, Zhou comes to the nunnery by accident and runs into the Princess. After several exchanges, the couple finally reunites. Knowing the Qing Emperor already heard of their story, Princess Chang Ping and Zhou pretend they are willing to return to the Palace, in exchange for the Emperor’s promise to bury the deceased Ming Emperor with dignity, and to free her brother. In the end, the couple exchanges vows under a tree in the Grand Palace, and commit suicide for their country.
