The main character, 鍾景期, is portrayed as an exceptional talent with aspirations and a deep longing for a perfectly matched partner. Following the death of his parents, he dedicates himself to scholarship and entering the civil service, all while grappling with the pressures of family expectations regarding marriage. His encounter with a beautiful figure in a garden, along with a series of poetic exchanges and the fateful discovery of a lost scarf, sets the stage for a romantic pursuit and involves him in the complex social dynamics of the time.
