After marrying Mingyue, Ximen Qing remains unsatisfied and seeks pleasure with other women. He sets his sights on Pan Jinlian, a commoner, and plots to poison her husband, Wu Dalang, in order to marry her. Still unfulfilled, he targets Li Ping'er, the wife of Hua Zixu, whom he also schemes to kill so he can marry her. Wu Song, Wu Dalang's brother, returns seeking revenge, but Ximen Qing frames him for rape with the help of the maid Chunmei, resulting in Wu Song's exile and Chunmei's promotion to concubine. Eventually, Ximen Qing's excessive indulgence leads to his demise, as he is murdered by his concubine Chunmei.
