Introduction to the plot of "The Scholar Falls in Love with a Soldier":
The daughter of Liangcai County
In a particularly rainy summer, storms caused disasters. Chen Zhong could not bear to see the farmers of Liangcai County suffer from natural calamities, so he secretly opened the official granary to provide relief to the farmers. As a result, he was reprimanded by the court and was eventually exiled to the frontier where he fell ill and died, leaving behind an orphaned daughter, Chen Ximei.
Fortunately, Ximei was cared for by the father of Zhu Qingting who treated her like his own daughter, making them a close-knit family. The farmers of Liangcai County also regarded Ximei as their own child. All the older women became Ximei's godmothers, and the older men were her godfathers. Ximei grew up happily and inherited her late father's chivalrous spirit, becoming a passionate woman dedicated to protecting the farmers.
