Synopsis

Chu Liuxiang takes his three companions (Li Hongxiu, Su Rongrong and Song Tian'er) with him to attend Zuo Qinghou's birthday party. On the way, they meet Sang Xiaojing, a spoilt and arrogant girl. After arriving at Zuo's house, strange things start happening. Zuo's daughter, Mingli, is in love with Xue Bin, a youth from a rival family. Xue Yin, Xue Bin's younger sister, is in love with Ye Shenglan and wants to be with him, but her father forbids her because Ye Shenglan is an actor. Zuo Mingli and Xue Yin fake their deaths in order to resolve the feuds between their families, but Chu Liuxiang discovers the truth and decides to secretly help the lovers be together.
