Perfectly cast as a woman impersonating a man, Ivy Ling Po - who has made a career in Huangmei Opera playing male roles - plays the tomboy daughter of a general. Like Yentl, Pei-ngo (Ivy Ling Po) maintains a male facade for the rights she doesn't have as a girl. However, her mother wants her to marriage. Not only must she consider revealing her long hidden gender secret, but she must choose between two schoolmates for a groom. It's another Huangmei Opera triumph that charms and delights.
