Wang Baochuan and Syue Pinggui, a couple living in hanyao ("cold cave"), had been caught in the poor condition for years. One day, Pinggui tamed a fierce horse with red hair on its neck and gave it to the King of Tang. Pleased, the Tang King appointed him as Rear Army Force Commander. When the barbarian, Siliang, revolted, Wang Yun, Baochuan's father and also the prime minister, recommended Su Long and Wei Hu as the Marshal and Deputy Marshal, and ordered Pinggui to proceed as the Vanguard. Pinggui went back to hanyao to say goodbye with Baochuan, then stepped on his march to Siliang. However, he was set up by Wei Hu and caught by the enemy. Because the Siliang King admired talented Pinguei, he not only spared his life but also married his daughter Princess Daizhan to him. When the Siliang King died, Pinggui then succeeded to be the king.

18 years later, Pinggui went back to Changan. He accidentally encountered Wang Baochuan at Wujia Hill. Since she did not recognize him, Pinggui decided to test Baochuan's loyalty; however, Baochuan scolded this stranger for his flippant and rude behavior and ran back to hanyao. Pinggui chased her to hanyao and told her the truth. The husband and wife finally recognized each other.

Right after the King of Tang died, Wang Yun usurped the throne. He intended to kill Pinggui. Pinggui got the help from Princess Daizhan and fought back to Changan. He made himself the King. In the gold palace, Pinggui promoted Su Lung and executed Wei Hu. Admonished and advised by Baochuan, Pingui pardoned Wang Yun. He also conferred ranks on Baochuan, Princess Daizhan, and Baochuan's parents.
