Mu Guiying (穆桂英) is a legendary heroine from ancient China's Northern Song Dynasty and a prominent figure in the Generals of the Yang Family legends. She is the wife of Yang Zongbao and mother of Yang Wenguang. In this Chinese Huangmei Opera adaptation, the story begins where Mu emerges from the fortress and engages in a battle with Yang Yanzhao, also capturing him. Mu apologizes to her future father-in-law and finally Yang Yanzhao agreed to the marriage and welcomed Mu to his family and troops.
