In the Chao drama "Li Dan Xing Tang", the love story of Tang Ruizong Li Dan and the minnu Fengjiao is described. After the death of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, although Wu Zetian made Emperor Zhongzong Li Xian ascend to the throne, he himself wanted to take over the dynasty. In order to finally ascend to the emperor's throne, Wu Zetian began to massacre Li's relatives on a large scale. In order to escape the pursuit of the government, Li Dan fled to the people.
Li Dan, who changed his surname and name in the folk, met the beautiful and intelligent folk girl Fengjiao. Once, because Li Dan was framed and his life was in danger, Fengjiao let her mother be the master and married Li Dan in order to save Li Dan's life.
Later, the surviving Li clan secretly searched for Li Dan, found Li Dan, and took Li Dan to another place. By this time, Feng Jiao did not know Li Dan's true identity. She also thought that Li Dan was an ordinary man, so in order to find her husband, Fengjiao also wandered everywhere, serving as a maid for the family of a high-ranking official and nobleman.
Later, in order to save Ma Zhou's life, Li Dan risked his life to impersonate a son-in-law who had never met a high official surnamed Tao and came to Tao Mansion to steal a prescription. At the banquet that day, Fengjiao recognized Li Dan as her husband who thought about it day and night, but in order to save the lives of the two, Fengjiao did not dare to speak up.
In the end, Li Dan obtained the prescription and saved Ma Zhou's life, but when Li Dan escaped from the Tao family, he was caught by The Discovery. At this point, Feng Jiao felt that her husband had changed his mind, so she was discouraged and wanted to commit suicide. In order to protect Fengjiao's life, Li Dan had to reveal his true identity. Finally, with the joint efforts of everyone, Li Dan and Feng Jiao, a pair of sad dragons and bitter phoenixes, finally got together.
