Part I Dream of Love

The story happens in South Sung Dynasty. Du Bo is a high official in the city of NanAn, with strict house rules and an only daughter Du Liniang, who is known for her beauty and gentleness. This day, Du Liniang and her maid secretly go out to the gardens. Moved by the beautiful scenery, Liniang dreams of meeting the scholar Liu Mengmei at the Peony Pavilion. They fall in love in her dream. When Liniang wakes, she is depressed because of her unfulfilled love. She knows that she has little chance of getting well. So, looking into the mirror, she makes a portrait of herself and wrote a poem on the scroll. Soon afterward, Liniang dies.
