Wang Fu, ruler of Chang'an. sends daughter Liu-mei to Julunchi Park for a walk. The girl refuses, referring to the fact that she has never left the house (she is 18 years old). But the emperor commanded the wives and damsels of all classes to go, and she can only obey. Scientist He Ji-Zhang appears. He is looking for his friend and drinking companion Han Fei-qing, who escaped from a feast. It turns out that he went to Jiulunchi, saw Liu-mei there and fell in love with her. She accepted the courtship and, before leaving home, threw a wallet with 50 gold coins to him. (They were granted to her father by the emperor, and the father handed them over to their daughter as an amulet.) The ripening He Ji-chan tries to bring his friend back to the party, but he follows the crew of his beloved.
Servant Van tries to expel Chania, who has entered the master’s court. The host comes to the noise. Upon learning that the Han passed the state exam, but did not receive the position, and angry at his insolence, Wang ordered the young man to be suspended so that he could sober up. He Ji-chzhan arrives, finds out what’s the matter. Realizing that in front of him is famous for his works of Han Fei-ching, not inferior to the great Li Wo, Wang apologizes and invites him to remain in the palace as a home teacher, so that he can talk on scientific topics.To Ho's surprise, Han Fei-ching agrees to such a not-so-flattering offer.
Two teenagers with sometimes rude jokes talk about their new teacher (Han Fei-qing), who has been doing nothing with them for a month now and only sighs. He really suffers from the fact that he can not see his beloved, except in a dream. The owner of the house comes and, having treated the hero with wine, is going to start a conversation about the “Book of Changes”, but discovers his gold coins. Han Fei-ching refuses to explain how they ended up in his room. Wang Fu suspects daughter. Having told her the precepts of house-building, he is about to flog Chania, however, he who arrived in time, He Zhi-zhan, reports that the sovereign is inviting the young man to an audience. He leaves, confident that he will face even greater punishment.
In fact, the emperor not only rewards Chania with the title and money, but also instructs Li Wo himself to arrange the matrimonial affairs of the young man (He Zhi-zhan reported about them). Wang Fu had previously planned to give him a daughter, but now even more so. Han Fei-ching at first refuses - he doesn’t want to bow his head to anyone, and the wedding ceremony requires obeisances. Together, He Ji-Zhang and Li Wo convince the hero to agree.
