In the spring in the south of the Yangtze River, the grass is delicious and the green willows are still around. The lotus flowers in the pond were the first to sprout, with a faint fragrance, attracting a pair of young men and women to stand quietly by the pond. "Lian'er, we grew up together, do you remember how we used to play by this lotus pond? The young man asked softly. "Remember, Yun'er. We caught tadpoles, picked lotus flowers, and counted how many lotus flowers there were in this pond. The girl looked up and smiled sweetly. "Then do you remember my promise to marry you when I get fame in the future? The youth asked. The girl blushed and said shyly, "Of course I remember, I've been waiting for you for so many years." The young man held the girl's hand and said solemnly: "Lian'er, I will definitely study hard, take a good official position in the future, and then marry you and go home to give you happiness." I, Zhao Yun, promise you! ”
A few years have passed in a blink of an eye, Zhao Yun's father died of illness, and the family is in a state of decline. He had to divide part of the family's land and go out to become a carpenter's apprentice, working hard to take care of his mother. On this day, Zhao Yun carried the carpenter's tools on his back and happily came to Li's house to report to Li Lian for safety. Who knew that Father Li was sitting in the position of the head of the house with a calm face, and when he saw him coming, he said coldly: "Zhao Yun, you and I have no difference between my own family." Your family business is not as good as before, and it is not comparable to mine, and I have agreed to choose another son-in-law. Zhao Yun said in shock: "Father, we have been engaged for many years, how can you break your word?" "You can't even support yourself now, how can you take care of my daughter? Divorce is a matter of time. Father Li showed no mercy. At this time, Li Lian's mother came out of the room and said to Zhao Yun, "Yun'er, don't worry. I have pleaded with my father, and he has reluctantly agreed to allow you to come to the house to propose. Get new clothes. Zhao Yun was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked his mother-in-law. When I came home, I didn't even have a new piece of clothing in the closet. In desperation, he went to the house of his mother's nephew, Xu Ping, and begged him to borrow a new set of clothes. Xu Ping readily agreed, but asked him to stay for dinner. Who knows, Xu Ping took advantage of Zhao Yun's unpreparedness and quietly came to Li's house, pretending to be Zhao Yun and marrying Li Lian. On the third day, Zhao Yun came to Li's house nervously, but Li Lian said with a cold face: "You came three days late, and I can't marry you anymore." Get out of here! Zhao Yun realized it later, and only then did he understand what had happened. 
Li Lian's eyes were red, and she gave Zhao Yun a pair of golden hairpins, telling him to leave quickly to avoid accidents. That night, Li Lian, whose heart was like ashes, hanged herself in the boudoir. When Zhao Yun learned of Li Lian's death, he was overwhelmed with grief and pain. Father Li was furious and accused Zhao Yun of defiling Li Lian and causing her to commit suicide. Zhao Yun begged Father Li to believe in his innocence, but to no avail. Under the influence of Li's father, Zhao Yun was soon unjustly imprisoned, awaiting a terrible execution. The prison was damp and cold, and Zhao Yun's heart was like ashes, sad day and night. He knew that he was destined to have no happiness in this life. The only hope is to be able to reunite with Li Lian in the future. At this time, Zhang Guan, who was trying the case, learned of the case and sent someone to summon Zhao Yun for detailed questioning. Zhang Guan has always had insight and is aware of the strangeness. He disguised himself as a cloth merchant and went to visit Xu Ping. "You poor bastard, you want my cloth, and you don't have a door! He deliberately provoked Xu Ping. Xu Ping immediately took out gold and silver to buy all his cloth, but he didn't know that this was the Li family's dowry. Zhang Guan connected the clues one by one, investigated the truth clearly, and arrested Xu Ping. Under Zhang Guan's fair interrogation, Xu Ping had no choice but to confess to using Zhao Yun's name to bully Li Lian and cause her to commit suicide. Only then did Father Li know Zhao Yun's innocence and regretted it. In the end, Zhang Guan rehabilitated Zhao Yun and saved him from unjust imprisonment. 
In order to make up for Li Lian, Li's father decided to take Xu Ping's ex-wife Bai Juan as his righteous daughter. Bai Juan kept the festival from beginning to end and did not marry, and Li's father was very pleased that she remarried. "Juan'er, you are really another good daughter of my family. Zhao Yun doesn't have a wife now, and you are in the prime of life, I specially married you to him, what do you think? Father Li asked. Bai Juan bowed her head shyly and said softly: "The child is at the mercy of his parents' arrangement. Father Li said happily: "Great, Zhao Yun is a good person, and he will definitely appreciate you." Both of you have gone through hardships and hope to be lovers in this life. After this turmoil, Zhao Yun and Bai Juan finally became married. Bai Juan is gentle and graceful, and the two respect each other like guests, and love gradually rises. Xu Ping took a risk, defiled the women of good families, and framed friends of the same clan, doing many evils. In the end, he still couldn't escape the cycle of heavenly principles and was executed by the Fa-rectification. And Zhao Yun has always been honest and honest, never abandoned, and was finally rehabilitated. He married a good wife and fulfilled his childhood wish. As the old man often said, good is rewarded, evil is rewarded, and blessings and misfortunes are all caused by themselves. Words are terrible, but sin is not to be punished. Zhao Yun cleared his name, atoned for his sins to Li Lian, and gained happiness. Xu Ping was eventually retributioned, and his tragedy became a lesson for future generations.
