Plot Synopsis:
Liu Yin inherits a jade bracelet from her mother-in-law after marrying husband Shi Lei, but accidentally discovers that the bracelet “changes from true to false” during her honeymoon trip.
In her opinion, this is the most valuable heirloom of the Shi family, and it also represents the recognition of her mother-in-law. But it has become fake in her hands, and she becomes uneasy by it.
Best friend Zha Xiao Meng, husband Shi Lei, husband’s sister Zhou Zhi Xia, and mother-in-law Li Shuang Qing are all involved in the whirlpool of true and false bracelets.
Later, Liu Yin discovers that it was her mother-in-law who had given her the fake bracelet and wanted to leave the real bracelet to her daughter. But they accidentally discover that both bracelets in the hands of her mother-in-law and Liu Yin are actually fake.
The situation becomes messier and Shi Lei finally tells the truth: he accidentally broke the real bracelet before and didn’t dare to make a statement, so he could only imitate a fake one for Li Shuang Qing. In this way, one bracelet became three.
The truth comes full circle and the secret of the true bracelet is revealed. The fate of the family from the turbulent times to the peaceful and prosperous times emerges.
The accidental breaking of the bracelet makes everyone realize that although the jade bracelet is precious, it is still not as worthy as the heart.
