Su Wan, a young actress in an opera troupe, falls in love with Shen Zhixia, a scholar heading to the imperial exam. Shen promises to marry her once he succeeds. But when he returns in glory, he’s with the daughter of a minister. Su Wan is sold to a brothel by her troupe master. In despair, she jumps into the river—only to wake up on Shen’s wedding night. It turns out Shen was forced by the minister who threatened Su Wan’s life, and he’s been secretly planning to rescue her. But Su Wan’s heart is broken. She looks at the tormented Shen under the red candle and whispers, “I’ve woken from this dream,” then vanishes into the night. Left alone, Shen clutches her old handkerchief and weeps until dawn: “Life is a fleeting dream—my love, after all, is gone.”
