In this short scene, the young prince of Lan Ling, also known as the "Conch Bin," asks the young girl, the "Princess consort of Ling Ling," if she is worthy of his love. The young woman, who is the daughter of the governor of Zhejiang province, tells him that she was once the mistress of her father's wife. When she was born, her father kicked her and her mother out of the house because they were different in social standing. A taoist monk saved them, and the young woman tells the prince that her father ordered her to spy on him. The prince is shocked, and he asks her why she would want to be his mistress. She replies that she would lose her beauty and talent if she were to marry a man like him. He asks her to come to his mansion and use her martial arts to save maidens in trouble.
