Shangyu County, Yuezhou (present-day Shaoxing), had a woman, Zhu Yingtai, who liked to read poetry and books, and wanted to go out to study, but at that time women could not be out in the open, so she and her maid, Yinxin, disguised as a man, and went to the city of Yuezhou to study.

During the three years in Yuezhou, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai were inseparable, studying together in the daytime and sharing the same bed at night.

But Ma Wencai, who was watching, learned that Zhu Yingtai was a woman. Later, her family wrote a letter urging Zhu Yingtai to go home, and before she left, Zhu Yingtai left a letter telling Liang Shanbo to go to the Zhu residence in 10 days to propose marriage.

But Liang Shanbo thought it was three ten days together, so he went to propose marriage after one month. When Liang Shanbo arrived at Zhu's house with joy, he realized that Ma Wencai had already proposed marriage before him, and he had already paid the bride price, which left Liang Shanbo with a broken heart, and Zhu Yingtai sent her off along the way.

When Liang Shanbo returned home, he was seriously ill with lovesickness, and wrote to Zhu Yingtai to ask for some prescriptions that he couldn't find or get, saying that his condition was desperate and that he hoped Zhu Yingtai could come to visit him, but Zhu Yingtai replied to Liang Shanbo that he didn't have any destiny in this life, and that she hoped that they could be buried together in Nanshan Mountain after their deaths.

Later, Liang Shanbo died, and Zhu Yingtai agreed to marry the Ma family under false pretenses, but demanded that the procession must pass through Nanshan Mountain, and that she be allowed to get off the sedan chair to pay homage to Liang Shanbo.

When Zhu Yingtai got down from her sedan chair to pay her respects to the grave, the wind and rain were so strong and gloomy that Liang Shanbo's grave cracked open, and Zhu Yingtai jumped into it, and the grave was immediately closed again, and a pair of butterflies flew out from the grave.
