In the third year of the Republic of China, it snowed.
Mei Anran took her maid Xiangxiang out to watch a theater. In the theater, she saw a little girl of seven or eight years old being brought here by her father to look for a buyer. Such things happened every day, so Mei Anran didn't pay much attention and continued to watch "The Drunken Concubine" performed on the stage.
But somehow, the father of the girl who was selling the girl got into an argument with someone else, and the girl looked at the opportunity and ran out. The sharp-eyed buyer saw the girl running away and quickly called his men to catch the girl back. "Let me go." Mei Anran heard the cry and took a look. Two tall and thick men were holding the girl's arms. Mei Anran saw the stubbornness in the girl's eyes, and for some reason she waved her hand and said, "How much does it cost? I'll buy this girl."
