Half-brothers Yan Jun and Yan Qing share a bond of deep respect and affection, yet their mother openly favors Yan Jun. Following a matchmaker's advice, a "joy-bringing" marriage is arranged for sickly Yan Jun. To spare his brother, Yan Qing steps in as the groom. This remarkable film unites two legendary performers of Chinese opera cinema: Ling Po and Yang Li-hua, both are celebrated for their iconic male roles played by women. It also marked Yang Li-hua's final film performance and represents the last traditional Huangmei opera film ever made, closing a significant chapter in Chinese cinema history.
