Mistress and Maid (Traditional Chinese: 嬌紅記; Simplified Chinese: 娇红记; Pinyin: Jiāo Hóng Jì) is a tragedy written by the Chinese playwright Meng Chengshun. It follows the relationship of Star-Crossed Lovers Bella and Shen.

Kissing Cousins: Shen and Bella are maternal cousins, which is the main reason why they're not allowed to marry.

Filler: The 'ghost imposter' subplot, though pretty, has no relation to the actual main story except in the sense that they share a cast.
