The Princess of Liang fell deeply in love with Gu Zhao, a county magistrate, and begged her father Emperor Xiao Yan to grant their marriage. Skeptical of Gu Zhao's purported integrity, Xiao Yan disguised himself as an old scholar to visit incognito. However, when he spoke up for villagers whose disaster relief grain had been embezzled, Gu Zhao publicly beat and humiliated him—revealing that Gu Zhao's "integrity" was a complete facade. He had long colluded with corrupt officials to embezzle relief supplies and persecute dissenters. Suppressing his anger, Xiao Yan secretly gathered evidence, eventually exposing Gu Zhao's corruption and making the princess see the true face of her "ideal husband."
