The male protagonist is a man with a dull temperament, but then he meets a noble woman and falls in love at first sight. Just like a sickly clam produces pearls, a grain of sand is put into the male protagonist's heart. He asks for the person he likes but cannot get it, and the sand is ground into a pearl in the male protagonist's heart. In the end, the noble woman married a rich man. The male protagonist was indifferent and only cultivated flowers and trees, drank tea and discussed Taoism, and became a laid-back man.
