At the age of ten, Mei (played by Ruan Ruqiong) was sent by her neighbors to work as a maid in a wealthy household in Saigon. Because she resembled the deceased daughter of the mistress, Mei was deeply loved by her. However, the mistress did not see any brightness in her life; her musician husband would occasionally leave without explanation for several days and later disappeared altogether. The mistress's three sons, who had nothing to occupy their time, often took pleasure in teasing Mei, but gradually they discovered that the warmth in their home came entirely from the gentle and kind-hearted Mei. Ten years passed in the blink of an eye, and Mei (played by Chen Nuyuanxi) had grown into someone with more "classical beauty." The mistress, unable to bear the household's expenses, began to sell her possessions and reluctantly sent Mei to work for another family. The new employer was a young pianist, a friend of the mistress's son, and when Mei first met him in her youth, she cast a lingering affectionate gaze at him. As the pianist interacted with Mei, he gradually felt her tender warmth.
