Cheung Kwan-Sui and Hung Leung each picks up one half of a matching jade at a lantern fair. However, they do not meet each other that night. At the same fair, Sui saves the Governor's daughter Chui Ang-Ang from some kidnappers. The Governor's wife promises to marry Ang-Ang to him in order to thank him. Nevertheless, she denies her promise later and demands him to become a royal scholar before Sui can marry Ang-Ang. He moves into the West Chamber, their guesthouse, and studies hard.
