During their honeymoon, she discovers that the bracelet she has is a counterfeit, causing her great distress at the prospect of losing a valuable family heirloom and a symbol of her mother-in-law's approval. Ying Bao's husband Shi Da Yan, mother-in-law Li Shuang Qin, and others get caught up in the confusion surrounding the real and fake bracelets, especially when multiple copies are discovered.
