Plot Summary:
The story centers on Tu Lạc, a beautiful and street-smart young woman from a struggling family. In a desperate bid for fortune, her family devises an audacious scheme to pass her off as a “trophy bride” to Bảo, the heir of a wealthy private hospital empire. To execute their plan, they pose as an affluent family, even going so far as to use the mansion where Tu Lạc’s mother works as a maid as their own. The film explores themes of social status, ambition, and the lengths to which people will go to change their circumstances, drawing inspiration from the traditional Vietnamese belief of “môn đăng hộ đối,” which suggests that marriages between individuals of similar social and economic status are more harmonious.
