Synopsis
Kongjwi, who had been living alone with her father, welcomes a stepmother and a stepsister called Patjwi into her life. When her father is out, the stepmother and Patjwi make her do all the housework and the stepmother believes all of Patjwi's lies and beats Kongjwi mercilessly. When talks of marriage between Kongjwi and the son of a respectable family come out one day, the stepmother does everything in her power to get Patjwi married to the young man. Unaware of her stepmother's plans, Kongjwi runs into the young man in the woods and the two fall in love. On the day of a party at Kongjwi's uncle's house, the stepmother and Patjwi leave first, leaving Kongjwi to take care of all the housework before she returns home, which would take her three whole days. The pot that she has been told to fill with water has a hole and can never be filled while the work she must do cannot be done in a short time, so Kongjwi starts crying. Suddenly, a Buddhist saint appears before her and does all the housework for her and gives her new clothes as well as shoes with flowers on them. Deeply grateful, she drops a shoe in the water on her way home. The young man who has returned as an official after having passed the national exam finds the shoe and starts looking for the owner. When he finds out that the Kongjwi is the owner of the shoe, he marries her. Patjwi and her mother are enraged and eventually kill Kongjwi. They get help from a shaman to turn Patjwi into Kongjwi. Irritated with a lotus flower in the pond where Kongjwi had died, Patjwi tells a maid to get rid of it, but the maid keeps it in her room. That night, Kongjwi appears before the maid and tells her what happened, who in turn tells the groom. The young man finds Kongjwi's dead body in the pond and is mourning over her when the Buddhist saint appears before him and brings her back to life. The young man tries to punish Patjwi and her mother to avenge Kongjwi, but she asks him to forgive them. Meanwhile, Patjwi and her mother who had run away for fear of being found out are crushed and killed by a branch that is struck by lightning.
