The Butterfly Lovers

Juk Ying Toi disguises herself as a man and leaves home to pursue her studies, where she meets Leung Saan Baak. The two get along extremely well and learn from each other. During their three years as classmates, although they spend every day together, Saan Baak remains unaware that Ying Toi is actually a woman. He even has no reservations about sharing a bed with her, with only a bowl of water placed between them. Later, Juk’s father arranges a marriage for Ying Toi, forcing her to return home and await her wedding. On the day Ying Toi returns to her hometown, Saan Baak sees her off, and the two are reluctant to part. After spending three years together, Ying Toi has long since secretly fallen in love with Saan Baak, but unfortunately, he remains completely unaware of her feelings. Before they part, Ying Toi wants to tell Saan Baak her true identity but does not know how to say it. She can only leave him an embroidered shoe as a parting gift, hoping that Saan Baak will understand its meaning.
