The village headman of Meilong County - Wang Lao Hu is naturally martial, brave but not wise, and accustomed to solving problems with his fists. However, he is straightforward, values ​​brotherhood, and keeps his promises, typical characteristics of a martial man. There is a saying though: Don't be the middleman, don't be the village headman, and don't be the matchmaker if you want three generations of peace. The position of "village headman" requires high political wisdom, while Lao Hu clearly lacks social skills, so he often has frictions with the villagers and is categorized as a local tyrant.
A royal decree for conscription of brides is rumored in the city, calling for daughters to enter the palace to be selected as concubines. Lao Hu fears that his younger sister Xiu Ying will leave never to return, so he urgently tries to find a husband for her. In haste, Lao Hu forcibly detains Zhou Wenbin who was on his way to take the imperial exams.
