The Story originates from the folks of Murmyeon (modern day-Minamdang, Suvarnabhumi, Sukharkhin) where a commoner named Jaeng tries his best to find a decent job.The era was post independence era at that time.There was still essence of monarchy in Murmyeon.At that time the ruler of Rattanakosin Kingdom was Jurwanglong Murmyeon Attasarangakhul III .The commoner Jaeng wants to become a doctor and treat people.Being a Asian community, casteism used to exist at that time .Year was Lepxha 013 .When he told that he wants to become a doctor, people pass some judgements as

Jao noe boglait yen ,Ibo yang deke bagochi kruk manutya iban karmiske karoni vicharkrangkraesuay.Tyi tong suvai kibhi karnadhish yetae karoblaar arava uchami lokdami twimsa pranharutsva noe . Twae kruk borani.

Translation:Look what is this lunatic saying.Such a lower class people think of doing elite profession.You all are the bad luck of society.Never ever think of doing that or else the higher class people will not leave you alive.You low class Borani Brat..

At that time.The Boranese community was used to be considered as lower class minority and used to get tortured and abused by the immigrant.The Boranese community is to be considered as native Rattanakosin people.

Jaeng faced casteism,whereas Sanukpriyet tries to find a wife because she is into girls .Her mother took her to Murmyeons top matchmaker.Krongrachana, one of the top matchmaker was assigned to find a perfect wife.
But first she has to prove whether she's the perfect bride type.Her mother made her look more beautiful because that's how the tradition goes around in Murmyeon.Sanukpriyet was uncomfortable with this type of arrangement.Sanukpriyet was a free soul but such traditons made her helpless.

They started their ceremony,
Krongrachana says,

Elegancy, loyalty, decency, intelligent ,beautiful,down to earth ,soft natured that how should be a perfect bride.

This tea is so elegantly made.You know that Asian Community values ceremonies.

Since you are from not from lower castes .I will find a good groom for you.
Suddenly,A scorpion came near to her mother.She was afraid that if that scorpion bites then,

Doviderasia Ancient Orthodox Culture believes that when in an ceremony.One must remain sitter in folded position and can't get up or its disrespect.

She wants to help her mother.Without thinking once .She got up and removed that scorpion away.Seeing this ,The matchmaker got offended.

How could she stand in between of ceremony.Dont you have respect to our culture.You are a disgrace.You will never be perfect bride.
Don't you ever think of bringing proposals for her ,Mrs.Salee.

I bid farewell.

Her mother starts beating her because of the insult they have to listen.

She tells that she wants to marry but not with strict standards for women only.

Jaeng tries to secretly attend the lectures and that's how he pursued doctorate and now he treats people as for Sanukpriyet ,she protests against the orthodox matchmakers.

Sooner all women supported Sanukpriyet and soon the perfect bride rule was removed.
