Description

In a modest village of 松江府, a well‑meaning but dim‑witted son named 花林 is nudged into marriage with the strikingly beautiful 二娘, a girl raised by relatives after orphaning. Their union, arranged by his father under the weight of tradition, blossoms into a lively household where the newlyweds quickly discover a clash of temperaments: his love for drink and idle chatter meets her sharp wit and graceful poise.

Enter two wandering companions—Li 二白, a gambling, hard‑living rogue, and the young scholar Ren 龍, fresh from his studies. Their friendship with 花林 deepens over wine‑filled evenings, and the trio’s antics soon draw the curious attention of 二娘. As drinks flow and jokes turn flirtatious, a tangled web of secret meetings and subtle rivalry begins to take shape, hinting at the comic mischief that will test loyalties and desire in this tangled household.
