One day, the beggar Xue Pinggui (played by Zhang Chenguang) unexpectedly encounters Wang Baochuan (played by Zhang Yuyuan), the beloved daughter of the current imperial censor Wang Wen, and they participate together in a dining competition, ultimately winning first place. Baochuan, who is naturally beautiful and known as the most beautiful woman in Chang'an, is pursued by Gao Buxuan, the son of the prime minister, and Liu Zhipeng, the son of a prince, who both want to marry her. While evading their entanglements, Baochuan accidentally falls into Xue Pinggui's cart. Gao Buxuan and Liu Zhipeng relentlessly pursue them, and in a hurry, Xue Pinggui and Baochuan accidentally fall off a cliff. When Pinggui discovers that Baochuan is seriously injured, he takes her back to his poor cold cave for treatment. After Baochuan recovers, in order to avoid the harassment of the two bullies, Gao Buxuan and Liu Zhipeng, she voluntarily stays in the cold cave. During their days together, Wang Baochuan realizes that although Xue Pinggui and his mother are impoverished, they are kind and righteous people, leading her to develop feelings for Xue Pinggui and gradually fall in love.
