Princess Gaoyang was one of the most beloved daughters of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. When she reached the age of marriage, Li Shimin chose a groom for her, Fang Yiai. However, Princess Gaoyang did not like this rough warrior, but fell in love with the monk Bianji, who was in his twenties. Monk Bianji was not an ordinary monk. He had helped Monk Xuanzang write the "Records of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty" and had made considerable achievements in Buddhist theory.

Princess Gaoyang and Monk Bianji fell in love and even cohabited together. When Monk Bianji was chosen as a translator and had to reside in Hongfu Temple, Princess Gaoyang gave him her jade pillow as a gift, reminding him of her at all times. However, a few years later, the jade pillow was stolen, and Monk Bianji was implicated in the case. To cover up the truth, Monk Bianji had to admit that it was a gift from Princess Gaoyang.

When the truth came out, Emperor Li Shimin was furious and ordered Monk Bianji to be executed by decapitation in the marketplace, and dozens of servants and maidens around the princess were also killed. This tragic episode was filled with blood and gore, and was a heartbreaking doomed love.

After this disaster, Princess Gaoyang and her father, Emperor Li Shimin, were estranged from each other. When Emperor Li Shimin died, Princess Gaoyang did not shed a single tear. Her lover was gone, and it seemed that the whole world was her enemy. Her heart became cold and indifferent. After Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi ascended the throne, she conspired with Fang Yiai and others to stage a rebellion. When the plot was exposed, Li Zhi ordered her to be executed, and the royal princess, who had gone mad for love, died with resentment.
