In ancient times, there was a girl named Zhu Yingtai. She is smart and beautiful. She not only can embroider and cut the phoenix, but also likes writing and reading. When she was fifteen or sixteen, she was bent on studying in the library of a foreign school.

However, girls were not allowed to go out to study at that time. What shall we do? Yingtai and the maid discussed a good idea: pretending to be boys to study. So Zhu Yingtai dressed up as a childe, and the maid dressed up as an extremely. They looked at each other, quite similar, and couldn't help laughing happily.

Zhu Yingtai's father was drinking tea in the hall when he suddenly saw an extremely young man come in to salute him. He quickly got up to reciprocate and asked him to sit down. May I have your name , please? Zhu Yingtai was very happy when he saw that even his father had cheated him. She then unveiled the veil and revealed the truth, which surprised her father and scolded her daughter for being naughty. Zhu Yingtai took this opportunity to tell his father the idea of going out to study. Father said, "Since ancient times, which woman has gone out to study?" Even pretending to be a man, there are many inconveniences in living outside. "But Zhu Yingtai insisted on going, and her father couldn't beat her, so he agreed.

Zhu Yingtai pretended to be a man and looked handsome. The maid pretended to be a bookworm and left home to study. They walked a long way and felt hot, so they went to the roadside gazebo to have a rest. At this time, a scholar and a bookworm came to the pavilion to have a rest. They greet each other. Zhu Yingtai knows that this scholar is called Liang Shanbo, and he has also been to this college to study. Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo chatted very speculatively, and they became brothers in the pavilion. Liang Shanbo is two years older than Zhu Yingtai, so Zhu Yingtai called Liang Shanbo his brother, and Liang Shanbo called Zhu Yingtai his brother. Then they went on their way happily.

Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo came to the school auditorium and met the teacher. The teacher was very happy to see these two smart and handsome teenagers coming to study.

The teacher arranged for them to study at the same table. Liang Shanbo cares about Zhu Yingtai as much as his brother. The two men stayed together from morning till night and became best friends.

Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo share a room. In order not to let Liang Shanbo find out that she is a woman, Zhu Yingtai separated two bookcases between their beds and put a basin of water on them. She told Liang Shanbo to be honest when sleeping. If he rolls around and spills the water in the basin, she will tell the teacher to punish him severely. Therefore, Liang Shanbo always shows himself and never moves. He never found out that Zhu Yingtai was a girl.

However, Zhu Yingtai's disguised as a man has long been seen by the careful teacher niang. Teacher Niang called Zhu Yingtai to her side and told her the truth. Zhu Yingtai asked her to keep a secret, but she agreed and took more care of the clever girl. Zhu Yingtai, if you have any difficulties or worries, please come and tell Teacher Niang.

Time flies for three years. One day, Zhu Yingtai received a letter from home saying that her father was ill and asked her to come back quickly. Zhu Yingtai asked the teacher for leave and came to see his teacher's mother. It is said that she and Liang Shanbo have been classmates for three years. Liang Shanbo was sincere, enthusiastic and diligent, and she fell in love with him deeply. She gave her teacher niang a jade fan, Zhui Er, as a matchmaker. After leaving, she proposed to Liang Shanbo.

When Zhu Yingtai returns home, Liang Shanbo must personally see her off. The two stayed together all the way and never wanted to break up. Zhu Yingtai wanted to show his love to Liang Shanbo, but it was inconvenient to say so, so he had to use many metaphors to motivate Liang Shanbo.

When they saw a pair of geese in the river, Zhu Yingtai sang:

"I came to a river in front,

There is a pair of geese swimming in the river.

The goose swam to the front,

The goose called her brother behind her. "

Honest Liang Shanbo didn't understand her meaning and walked on. Zhu Yingtai sang some songs about love between men and women, but Liang Shanbo still didn't understand. Zhu Yingtai joked, "You are really a goose!"

Zhu Yingtai pointed to a pair of mandarin ducks in the pond and sang:

"Green lotus leaves and clear water ponds, mandarin ducks in pairs. If Yingtai is a girl with red makeup, Brother Liang, would you like to' match mandarin ducks'? "

Liang Shanbo sighed and said, "It's a pity that you are not a female red makeup!" "

When Zhu Yingtai saw Liang Shanbo, he still didn't understand, so he said, "My family has nine sisters. She and I are twins and look exactly like me. I am willing to be a matchmaker and let my nine sisters marry you. Will you? " Liang Shanbo initially liked Zhu Yingtai's talent and looks. When he heard that Jiumei looked exactly like her, he agreed happily.

They sent each other eighteen miles and came to the river before they reluctantly parted. When he left, Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo agreed to go to Zhujiajian Island for a blind date on July 7th. Liang Shanbo looked at the figure of Zhu Yingtai from a distance across the river and gradually disappeared.

When Zhu Yingtai came home, his father had recovered from his illness. He asked Zhu Yingtai to change into a girl's costume and not to let her go out to study. At this time, a rich man named Ma came to ask for relatives, and his father gave his betrothal to Ma's son. Zhu Yingtai resolutely rejected this marriage. She told her father that she was in love with Liang Shanbo, and asked Teacher Niang to be the matchmaker. However, the father objected: "The child's marriage is always decided by the parents. What does it feel like for girls to find men outside? " Forced to marry the Ma family.

After seeing Zhu Yingtai off that day, Liang Shanbo returned to the school auditorium. He continued to study hard, but he completely forgot about proposing to his family on July 7. It was not until Teacher Niang took a jade fan Zhui Er to explain that Zhu Yingtai proposed to her that Liang Shanbo suddenly realized that Zhu Yingtai was a woman, and the nine sisters she said were Zhu Yingtai herself! Liang Shanbo immediately asked the teacher for leave and rushed to Zhujiajian to see Zhu Yingtai.

Liang Shanbo came to Yingtai's home and saw Zhu Yingtai completely dressed as a woman, which made her more beautiful and lovely. He told them the story of Teacher Niang's proposal, but Zhu Yingtai burst into tears after hearing this. She said, "Brother Liang, why are you so late? My father has betrothed me to the Ma family! " Hearing this, Liang Shanbo was shocked and sad and his heart was broken. The two of them cried bitterly, and they swore to each other that no matter who could break their deep love, they would be together forever. Their crying was heard by Zhu Yingtai's father. I angrily sent Mr. Wang Ran upstairs, drove Liang Shanbo out of the house, and put Zhu Yingtai under close surveillance.

Liang Shanbo came home very sad. He misses Zhu Yingtai. He can't eat or sleep. He fell ill, getting worse and worse, and died soon. Before he died, he told his family to bury him on the road from Zhujiajia to Majia.

Today is Ma's wedding day. The sedan chair was carried to the door of Zhujiajian, which was very lively. But Zhu Yingtai cried and refused to get on the sedan chair. At her father's command, many people pushed Lala, pushed Zhu Yingtai into the sedan chair and took her away.

Halfway up the sedan chair, there was a sudden gust of wind, and the sedan chair people couldn't walk. Then the maid told Zhu Yingtai that Liang Shanbo's grave was just ahead. Zhu Yingtai walked out of the sedan chair regardless of others' blocking, and must pay homage to Liang Shanbo's grave.

Zhu Yingtai came to Liang Shanbo's grave, tearful, and threw himself into the grave. At the moment, thunder and lightning, stormy weather, the grave suddenly opened a big crack, Zhu Yingtai shouted the name of Liang Shanbo and immediately jumped into the grave.

After a while, the rain stopped, the clouds opened and a rainbow appeared in the sky. I saw a pair of beautiful butterflies flying out of the grave and dancing around it. People say that Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai changed these butterflies. Until now, people still call this giant butterfly with black patterns, green spots and two long ribbons on its tail Liang Shanbo Zhu Yingtai.
