Xiqu

In the Jin dynasty, the Prince brothers vie to marry Lau Hung-luen. Lau favours the stately Prince Chan, with whom she consummates her passion and bears a child. Later, Prince Wang, the unsightly brother of Chan, almost manages to delude Lau into marrying him, while Chan is almost fooled into marrying Hung-luen s ugly sister Hung-lin. A remorseful Wang decides to relinquish his love interest to make way for Hung-luen and Chan. As it turns out, Hung-luen is a goddess from heaven. She soon comes to the realisation that the transient love in the human world is incomparable to the everlasting peace in the celestial realm. She then descends from heaven and delivers her son to Chan, bidding farewell to the endless love and hate in the mortal world.
