The story takes place during the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, there was a teenager named Bai Lixi, who liked to read a lot, but his family was poor and could only wander around seeking officials. Before leaving, in order to let him have a full meal, his daughter-in-law killed the only hen in the family who could lay eggs, and without firewood, she burned the latch on the door, let Bai Lixi eat a full meal, and told Bai Li xi not to forget her after she was rich.

Later, Bai Lixi arrived in the Kingdom of Yu, and the monarch of the State of Yu valued him very much and asked him to become a doctor, and Bai Li xi finally ended his wandering life. But Yu Guo was too young to fulfill his ambitions. Later, the neighboring Duke Xian of Jin sent a thousand-mile horse and a pair of jade bi, asking the monarch of the State of Yu to borrow a way and ask the State of Jin to send an army to destroy the State of Yu, which had a vendetta against the State of Jin. Bai Lixi hurriedly stopped the monarch of the State of Yu, saying that the Kingdom of Yu and the State of Yu were very close together, just like the lips and teeth of people, the lips were cold, the Kingdom of Yu was destroyed, then the day of the destruction of the Kingdom of Yu was not far away. The monarch of the State of Yu did not think so, he thought: Jin is a big country, he can't afford to offend, what is great about borrowing a road, not to mention the Qianlima and Yubi! In the end, he still did not listen to Bai Lixi's words, and as a result, after the Jin State destroyed the Yu Kingdom by way, he also destroyed the Yu State by hand. The monarch of the Yu kingdom was taken prisoner, and regretted that he did not listen to Bai Lixi's words. Bai Lixi followed and became a prisoner and became a slave.

When qin and Jin were married, Bai Lixi was married to the Qin kingdom as Mu Ji's entourage. He fled to Wan (present-day Nanyang, Henan) and was captured by the Chu people. Qin Mugong had long heard that Baili Xi was a capable man, so he said to the People of Chu that he was a slave who had escaped from us privately here, and I would buy him back. Later, Qin Mugong ransomed him with five ram skins. After returning to the Qin Kingdom, Mu Gong worshipped Baili Xi as Xiangguo, and people jokingly called him The Five Sheepskin Xiangguo.

After Baili Xi became rich, he quickly returned to his hometown to find his daughter-in-law, but in the era of war, his family's house had long collapsed, and his daughter-in-law did not know his whereabouts. Later, his daughter-in-law came to the Qin Kingdom, heard the story of the five sheepskins, heard her husband's name, she was not sure, so she came to the Xiang Mansion to do laundry as an old mother, waiting for the opportunity to recognize her husband. Once, when a banquet was held in Bailixi, his daughter-in-law sang: "Bailixi, five sheepskins." When I remembered the farewell, I cooked the female, cooked and moved, and now the rich and noble forget themselves. Bai Li xi, when I first married me, there were five sheepskins. Cooking chicken when parting, now it is time for the rich and noble to forget themselves. Baili Xi, Bai Li Xi, the mother is dead, buried Nanxi. The grave is covered with tiles, covered with firewood, and the sills are made of chickens. West into Qin, Wuyi Pi, now rich and noble donate me for. Bai Lixi listened to the song and the tears fell, he quickly ran down to the hall to see, it was really his daughter-in-law, the husband and wife embraced each other and cried in the hall.

Bai Lixi was not only reunited with his husband and wife, but his own son had also grown up, and he was meng Mingshi, the general of the later Qin State. It was with the assistance of Baili Xi and talents from other countries that the State of Qin was able to open up thousands of miles of land, dominate Xirong, and gradually become a western power.
