What's this movie?

It's an old classical movie that I used to see my parents watch when I was in my childhood. It involved a woman residing in a monastery and I believed the movie started out with her in the garden catching butterflies? I remember her painting a red heart on her forehead while applying makeup. And she became attracted to this visiting man later? And onward there were people carrying torches waiting outside intending to breach the monastery walls?

It might be easier to narrow it down if you could say what you mean by 'classical movie' - what range of dates? and when you were in your childhood. I assume it was a Chinese film?

i think around the same time as The Butterfly Lovers 265-420 CE, from their style of dress.

The story sounds like what happens in 西厢记, I haven't seen the movie so can't be 100% sure.
