As their boat approaches the Flowerland border, Pearl and Wing save the life of a girl named Ying, who threw herself into the sea in order to escape an arranged marriage.

Princess Pearl washes ashore within the Flowerland kingdom and is saved by a man named Million, who is revealed to be Ying's father.

He intends to force his daughter to honour the promise to marry the son (Chuen) of the literary minister Wu so that he can obtain gifts of money.

Million realises that Pearl is not his daughter, but as she is suffering from amnesia, he decides to adopt the girl in place of Ying.

Finally Wu agrees to let them stay in the servants' quarters until Chuen returns from the Imperial Examination to make his decision about marriage.

Upon return, it is discovered that Chuen had earlier fallen deeply in love with a girl he met in town named Ying.

In the palace, the King decides to select a prince consort for the princess in order to fulfill the happiness of the Queen Mother.

Meanwhile, General Wing continues to search for Pearl and as a foreigner to the Kingdom, he is reluctant to reveal his true identity.

However, Wu also hope Chuen to become prince consort and arranges for him to enter the selection process as a contender.
