This story took place during the Song Dynasty. It is said that there was a talented scholar named Ping'an in Chenliu County. He was handsome and liked him many girls. He promised a girl that he would definitely pass the imperial examination and would come back to marry her after the imperial examination was over. The girl believed it and gave him his first time.
So Ping'an went to Kaifeng Prefecture alone to take the scientific examination. Because there was no horse and could only walk, it would take some time to get to Kaifeng Prefecture. Ping'an walked to a small village. Because it was already midnight, he needed to stay overnight, so he entered the village. When the villagers heard that Ping'an was going to take the scientific examination, they readily agreed, so the villagers let Ping'an live in a widow's home. Because the widow had no husband, the home was relatively spacious.
ping came to the widow's house and said she wanted to stay for one night. When the widow learned about this, she agreed happily. The widow was named Zhang Meiniang. Her husband died of fighting because of being a soldier, so she has been single. Although some villagers advised her to find a man to live a good life, Zhang Meiniang has always refused, thinking that she is no longer a girl and no one wants it.
After the widow had arranged Ping An, she fell asleep. Because she got used to it, the door of the room was not closed. Ping An was fascinated by the widow's beauty from the moment she entered the widow's house. Ping An got up in the middle of the night and saw that the door of the widow was not closed, so she secretly walked over. She originally wanted to close the door for the widow, but Ping An suddenly became lustful after seeing the widow's convex figure.
Anyway, the widow has no man anymore, so she must be very lonely. She is a scholar again. If she shines brightly in the science exam, she will be promoted and wealthy at that time. I believe the widow will not reject him. So Ping An pushed the door open and got into the widow's quilt.
At first, the widow felt that it must be his dream, but then he woke up in pain and found that Ping An was close to him. The widow was very angry, "At a young age, even the widow didn't let go, aren't you afraid that I will sue you in the government office?"
Ping An was immediately scared when he heard this. If the widow sued him in the government office, he might lose the qualification for the scientific examination. At this moment, he had a clever plan and said, "I Love you at first sight and will marry you as your wife in the future."
With the widow looked at Ping'an seriously and said, "Are you really willing to marry me, or just say it?"
Ping'an immediately swore, "If I don't marry you, there will be thunderstorms!"
Hearing Ping'an say this, the widow naturally believed it. When she thought that Ping'an would marry herself in the future, she let Ping'an do whatever she wanted, so the two of them released themselves for the rest of their hearts.
The next day, the widow prepared the meal for Ping'an. Ping'an felt that there was still some time, so he stayed at the widow's house for three more days. After three days, he went to Kaifeng Prefecture, and the widow watched Ping'an leave with tears in her eyes.
After Ping'an arrived in Kaifeng Prefecture, he took the scientific examination directly, but unexpectedly he did not pass the examination, so Ping'an had to go back to Chenliu County. When he passed by the widow's village, he did not go to see the widow. For Ping'an, he and the widow were just dewy couples, and there was a little wife at home waiting for him to go back.
After returning to Chenliu County, he really married the girl, and the wedding was also spread to the widow's village. When the widow heard that Ping'an did not marry her, she married another girl, so she rushed to Chenliu County without stopping and happened to meet Ping'an's marriage. Naturally, the widow rushed in and asked Ping'an for an explanation.
Ping'an said that he didn't know the widow. This made the widow feel ashamed. The widow rushed out and committed suicide without thinking.
Ping'an didn't expect that the widow was so decisive, but he didn't care too much. After drinking the wedding banquet, just as Ping'an immediately entered the bridal chamber, he suddenly screamed, and saw countless poisonous insects drilled out of his mouth and nose. Soon, Ping'an died of anger. This scene was believed by the villagers to damage Ping'an's good deeds, which was probably related to the widow who committed suicide by jumping into the river.
At this time, an elderly old man said, "This is a kind of love Gu. It seems that Ping An must have been given a love Gu. I heard that love Gu will deal with unfaithful people."
Hearing the old man say this, other villagers suddenly realized.
