During the reign of Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, Bianjing was prosperous, and its reputation spread far and wide. Madame Li, from a wealthy family in Luoyang, moved her family to Bianjing, firstly to join her second daughter, Fu Hui, who married young, and secondly to resolve an old matter. The most proud thing in Mrs. Li's life is that she has five beautiful daughters. Unfortunately, her eldest daughter, Shou Hua, is a widow in her youth and has no intention of remarrying; third daughter Kang Ning has a fierce temperament and is nicknamed Rouge Tiger; fourth daughter Hao De is a virtuous person with a straightforward temperament and a soft-spoken voice. Unobstructed, fifth daughter Le Shan is overly pampered and has eyes above her head. The daughters were all famous in Luoyang for their beauty and talent, but it was difficult for them to get married, which became a worry for Madame Li. So, she made a bold decision to go to Bianjing to find another good match for her daughter.
