Yun Xiangye, while boating on a spring day, lost her footing and fell into the lake. She was rescued by Gu Yan, a wealthy young master who was recuperating in Jiangnan.
To repay his great kindness, Yun Xiangye offered herself in marriage and became Gu Yan's wife. Three years later, they were blessed with a daughter, and Yun Xiangye's married life was happy and fulfilling.
