Storyline

Wanghai Village is a small fishing village by Erhai Lake. In recent years, as it has become more prosperous, every family wants to build new houses and buy furniture. So the village chief invites a young carpenter, Zhao Mutao, from Jianchuan. However, after Mutao arrives, he stirs up a storm in Wanghai Village. Zhao Mutao is a gentle, optimistic, humorous young man with excellent skills. Overnight, he makes a three-stringed lute with a dragon head, winning the admiration of the whole village. Yanzi, a passionate and vivacious girl who can sing and dance, secretly falls in love with him after his arrival. But Mutao pretends not to notice because he has already fallen for Yang Haicui, a girl who looks like Guanyin. He specially carves a statue of the Ganlu Guanyin from his hometown, Jianchuan, intending to give it to his beloved. However, Haicui already has a partner, Ma Chengxing. Ma Chengxing has lost money in business and disappeared. Haicui often sheds tears thinking of him. Haicui's mother is determined to find a wealthy son-in-law and mistakenly believes that Mutao is a wealthy man, so she tries every means to promote the marriage. Haicui, who lacks her own opinions, also thinks Mutao is rich, and so, with the congratulations of the villagers, she and Mutao hold an engagement ceremony. Yanzi buries her pain deep in her heart. When Haicui and her mother learn that Mutao is not a wealthy man, they are greatly disappointed and a rift forms in their relationship. One day, the missing Ma Chengxing suddenly returns with a boatload of timber to Haicui's house. Learning that Haicui is engaged, he disappointedly wants to leave. Haicui's mother begs him to stay and slanders Mutao, and Ma Chengxing believes her. Hearing that Haicui wants to reconcile with Ma Chengxing, Yanzi feels deeply sorry for Mutao's situation, and the love she has suppressed reignites. Following her father's advice, she sincerely tries to persuade Haicui. After learning the truth about the engagement, the upright Ma Chengxing leaves a letter and goes away. He says he does not need a heart bought with money. Haicui sobs uncontrollably holding the letter. The heartbroken Mutao does not want to stay in Wanghai Village, but Yanzi's noble quality of selflessness finally wins Mutao's love. Mutao and Yanzi eventually become a couple.
