Zhang Yuqiao

When the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Pass, the Qing official Tong Yangjia ordered Li Chengdong, the general of the Qing Dynasty, to encircle and suppress the rebels in Guangdong. The martyr Chen Zizhuang was defeated, wounded and fled home, and entrusted his family to his concubine Zhang Yuqiao. Chengdong arrests all members of the Chen family and forces Yuqiao to marry him because he admires her beauty. Yuqiao reluctantly agrees to save the lives of the old and young of the Chen family. Yang Jia interrogated the members of the Chen family, and Cheng Dong managed to use a clever trick to save the lives of the young and old in the Chen family. Zizhuang never surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and was ordered to be tortured to death by Yangjia.

After Yu Qiao got married to Cheng Dong, she was depressed all day long. Even though Cheng Dong tried his best, she couldn't make her smile. On the day of Chengdong's birthday banquet, the troupe performed the Cantonese opera "The Legend of Yue Fei". Yuqiao was very happy to see that the actors and actresses were all dressed in Ming Dynasty costumes. Yu Qiao tricks Cheng Dong into wearing Ming Dynasty clothes and makes a more righteous statement, persuading Cheng Dong to miss the old dynasty and stop being a Qing court eagle dog. Tong Yangjia was furious when he saw this. Yuqiao took the opportunity to force Chengdong to rebel, and in the end, he died to meet him, and he will be immortal forever.
