In its entirety, this opera includes the episode The jade Bracelet with Sun Yujiao as the protagonist. Because the present episode of the opera concerns a girl named Song Qiaojiao, the entire opera is also known by the name "The Fortuitous Encounter Between the Two Women Named Jiao". The story goes that after the handsome youth Fu Peng gave a jade bracelet to the country girl Sun Yujiao, he became implicated in a murder case. By coincidence, just at the time when the magistrate of Meiwu County erroneously found him guilty of murder, the empress dowager, accompanied by the eunuch Liu Jin, who was then at the height of his power, went to the Temple of Karmic Law to offer incense. There they encountered Song who appealed to them to reverse the wrong verdict which had been imposed upon her fiance Fu Peng.

The chief protagonist of this episode of the opera is the county magistrate, who sings several long arias. This opera, like many other Beijing Operas, was created by the performers who were to play the leading roles working together, giving special consideration to the presentation of the singing and acting.
