In the ancient time, studying is an exclusive privilege of the male kids. The girls were not allowed to leave home to study. Shanbo Liang was an adolescent boy who studied in a college where he got to know Yingtai Zhu, a girl born in an upper class family. The father of Yingtai was a very strict and conservative father. To be able to go to a college, Yingtai decided to dress herself as a boy and escape from her family to go to a far-away college where she met Shanbo. The two became very close friends. As time went by, Yingtai fell in love with Shanbo silently, while her attentive attitude, her smooth skin, the earring holes, her strange behavior like she never let other saw her naked, began to make Shanbo suspect about her secret. On her parents call, Yingtai had to return home to attend a blind marriage appointment organized by her parents, and was not allowed to go out again when she arrived. Before she left the school, Yingtai implied to Shanbo to go to her home to propose marriage, but when Shanbo came to realize it, it was already too late because Yingtais marriage was already decided. Shanbo became very depressed and sick and finally died without being able to see Yingtai again. One day, Yingtai found about the news about Shanbos death. She found his tomb and started crying. All of a sudden, the tomb of Shanbai opened up, and Yingtai jumped into it. The sad lovers finally met each other again. They turned into two butterflies and flied far away, living happily together forever.
