When she was ten years old, Mei (played by Ruan Ruqiong) was sent by her neighbor to work as a maid in a wealthy family in Saigon. Because she looked very much like the deceased daughter of her mistress, Mei was deeply loved by her mistress. However, her mistress did not see the bright side of life because of this. Her musician husband would often go out for several days without any explanation and later disappear without a trace. The hostess's three sons, having nothing to do all day long, often took plum blossoms for fun. But gradually, they found that all the vitality in the house was brought by the gentle and kind plum blossoms. Ten years passed in the blink of an eye. Mei (played by Chen Yanxi) grew up to be even more "classical beauty". The female owner, unable to support the family's expenses, began to sell off her property and, with great reluctance, sent Mei to work as a servant in another household. The new owner is a young pianist who is a friend of the hostess's son. When Mei first met him in her youth, she cast a loving gaze at him. And through their interactions, the pianist gradually felt her tender warmth.[Collapse]
