This changes when Du Shiniang meets Li Jia (played by Wu Yanzu), and she takes a liking to him. The impoverished scholar Li Jia is willing to pay to redeem Du Shiniang's freedom. As a result, Shiniang follows Li Jia home. On the way, Li Jia unexpectedly encounters an old friend, Sun Fu, who is a wealthy young master, idle and fond of beautiful women.

After learning about this transaction, Du Shiniang is devastated, angrily throws her treasures into the water, and drowns herself...
