At the age of ten, Mei (played by Nguyen Như Quỳnh) was sent by her neighbor to work as a maid for a wealthy family in Saigon. Because she resembled the deceased daughter of the mistress, Mei was deeply loved by her. However, this did not make the mistress see the brighter side of life; her musician husband would occasionally leave for days without explanation, and eventually disappeared without a trace. The mistress's three sons, who spent their days idly, often teased Mei, but slowly, they discovered that the vitality in the house came entirely from the gentle and kind Mei. Ten years passed in the blink of an eye, and Mei (played by Chen Nuyuangxi) had grown into a more "classically beautiful" woman. The mistress, unable to support the household expenses, began to sell off her possessions and reluctantly sent Mei to work as a maid for another family. The new employer is a young pianist, a friend of the mistress’s son. When Mei first met him in her youth, she cast a gaze of admiration, and the pianist gradually felt her tender warmth as they interacted.
