| Artist Jin Wenou came from a rich family but refused to succeed his father Jin Chunnan's business. Instead he left the family and with the support of his fiancee Li Meili he opened a painting workshop with a friend Zhang Keming. |

Since then Li had become Jin Wenou's model but his customers
were increasingly disappointed with his limited innovation.
Business was on the slope and thus Jin Wenou was on the brink
of a financial crisis.
One day a sweater factory's manager Mr Wei came to offer Jin Wenou a job to paint an advertisement for a new brand "The Happy Angel". However, he requested that the model should be anyone else but Li. Despite the difficulty to source a suitable model, Jin Wenou was more than happy to accept the job. During their discussion the owner of Mei's Store Mei Wanping came to collect money from Jin Wenou. Seeing that Mei was beautiful and lively, Mr Wei requested that Mei be the model of the advertisement painting. Jin Wenou then invited Mei to be his model after getting her mother's consent. She would go to the workshop every evening until the painting was finished. One day after midnight news ran that his father was dying at home and would like to see his son and fiancee for the last time. At that time Li had not returned and Jin Wenou asked if Mei could pretend to be his girlfriend. Miraculously Jin Chunnan's health improved upon seeing his son and Mei, a kind and caring young lady. He even asked if Mei could stay with him for three more days. Mei agreed to avoid discouraging him and thus affecting his health. |

Seeing that her brother was so happy with Mei, Jin Wenou's
Auntie Yun volunteered to propose to Mei's mother. Shocked
and puzzled on hearing the news, Mei's mother went to the
Jins' house and asked her daughter what had actually happened.
Mei promised that she would explain everything three days later.
Meanwhile, Li hurried to see Jin Chunnan soon after receiving the news. Yet all the people in the Jins' house were convinced that Mei was their mistress-designate and thus gave a cold shoulder to Li. To pacify her anger, Jin Wenou then promised to disclose the truth three days later. Three days had passed. As Mei's mother came to receive her daughter there was a heavy rainstorm. Jin Chunnan then invited Mei and her mother to spend one more night in his house. For the sake of his father's health Jin Wenou refused to tell him the truth and thus had a quarrel with Li. Jin Chunnan overheard their dispute and was extremely disappointed. |

Soon Jin Chunnan made a miraculous recovery and in a banquet
announced that Mei was his daughter-in-law-designate. Hearing
the news, Li was outrageous and claimed her property rights
over Jin Wenou's workshop. He was then forced to close down the
workshop and borrowed a corner of Mei's store to carry on with
his assignment. Soon Jin Wenou fell in love with Mei and
proposed to her on the day he received his payment from Mr Wei.
