A woman, Madam Tian, eyes the family fortune and schemes with her husband to have Yang Xiuzhen’s husband killed. Xiuzhen escapes from home to seek help from her brother, but he sells her to Yang Chun. Yang pities her plight and helps her run. Xiuzhen is pregnant and, when she reaches a tea stand run by Song Shijie, Song's wife comes to her rescue and takes her home. Song, who has retired from a minor legal practitioner, runs an inn and a tea stand, is urged by his wife to help reinstate Xiuzhen. After much pondering, he makes Xiuzhen his sworn sister, then writes a petition on her behalf. Although Prefect Gu Du accepts the case, his wife accepts the bribe of three hundred taels of silver from Tian Neng. Gu is caught in a dilemma, and he decides to incriminate Xiuzhen. Shijie is totally unfazed. Yang Chun stops the procession of High Commissioner Miu Peng to plea on Xiuzhen’s behalf. On hearing that, Miu orders to reopen the case. Shijie, who has the confidence of one who knows truth is on his side, gives scathing defence as well as accusations at the court attended by four titled scholars.

Young general Wen Pingsheng and his wife, Pinniang, are deeply in love with each other. Jealous of the couple's love, Wen's cousins conspire with a doctor and claim that the wife has caught an incurable disease. Pingsheng is the only son in the family, so his mother dislikes Pinniang for being barren and is also afraid that her son might contract the disease. Pingsheng's mother forces her daughter-in-law to live alone on the premise of letting her recover from her disease, and forbids her son to visit. As he is about to go to battle, Wen visits his wife at night but is caught and scolded by his mother. After he leaves home, the mother gives Pinniang a maid and some gold to keep her from ever returning, and then tells her son that his wife has died. Aghast at the news, Pingsheng wants to die on the battlefield but survives numerous combats and goes home. As he weeps at Pinniang's tomb, his touched wife comes out to meet him. Moved by their undying love and ashamed of their misdeeds, the cousins admit to their wrongdoing. In the end, the mother agrees to the reunion of the couple.
