The background of the story is set after the end of World War II. Paul Sutton (hereinafter referred to as the male protagonist), a retired American soldier, finally returned to his hometown of San Francisco. The estrangement between his wife, Betty, has been born, and his wife has become sophisticated and greedy, far from the warm life she desires.
At the urging of his wife, the male protagonist had to go on a business trip to sell chocolates to earn money. Going out this time is incredible. The male protagonist met the beautiful girl Victoria Aragon (hereinafter referred to as the female protagonist) during the journey, and helped the female protagonist to solve problems many times, and won the favor of the female protagonist.
At this time, the male protagonist doesn't know yet, and bigger troubles lie ahead. The heroine was born in a big family in Mexico, her father was very traditional and conservative, but the heroine was abandoned by the scumbag after she became pregnant, which made the heroine anxious. At this time, the male protagonist came forward and came up with an idea. He wants to pretend to be husband and wife with the heroine, accompany the heroine home, sneak away the next day, bear the infamy of "scumbag", and help the heroine get through the difficulties.
The female lead agreed with the male lead and took the male lead back to the vineyard called "Las Nubes", which is the female lead's home. The original plan of the two was that the male lead would stay for one night and leave the next day to continue selling chocolate. But as a result, the male protagonist stayed at the female protagonist's house for four full days!
The male protagonist and the female protagonist go home and meet the female protagonist's old-fashioned father, the approachable mother and grandmother, and the grandfather who likes the male protagonist and the male protagonist's chocolate very much. That night, the male and female protagonists were in the same room, and the male protagonist slept on the floor very genteelly. At night, there was a sudden frost in the vineyard, and the male and female protagonists worked together to fight the frost, contributing to the classic "butterfly wings" scene.
The male protagonist originally planned to leave quietly in the morning, but was intercepted by his grandfather who could vaguely see the problem. The grandfather took the male protagonist to see the old vines in "Wonderland", which is the root of the female protagonist's family, and all the trees in the vineyard come from this old tree. Grandpa persuaded the male lead to stay one more day for the female lead. Because today is the day to harvest grapes, it is very important to the hostess' family.
Under the dissuasion of his grandfather, the male protagonist agreed to stay for another day. Besides, all the chocolates sold by the man were eaten up by grandpa. The male protagonist helps the female protagonist's family to harvest grapes, and frolics with the female protagonist. The two fall in love, but the male protagonist can never forget his responsibility to his wife, and the two eventually broke up.
The male protagonist planned to leave after spending the night on the sofa, but was stopped by his grandmother. It turned out that the grandmother also saw that something was wrong between the two, and suggested that the male protagonist had a reason for coming here. Grandma also directly threw Paul's military uniform into the water to wash. The male protagonist expressed his willingness to continue to accompany the female protagonist, but the female protagonist insisted that they should abide by the original plan, and the male protagonist should leave and return to his wife.
The male protagonist decided to leave again, but was stopped by his witty grandpa again. Grandpa saw that there was a dispute between the two, and he taught the male protagonist to sing in front of the female protagonist's window to save the female protagonist. But the heroine didn't turn on the light for a long time, and the hero left the heroine's house sadly.
The male protagonist came back to participate in the harvest festival. The female protagonist's father listened to the male protagonist's song all night last night, finally accepted the male protagonist, and announced to everyone that he would hold a wedding for the two tonight. After this, the heroine finally left. The male protagonist returned home and found that his wife had an affair, and the two divorced.
The freed male protagonist returned to the female protagonist's house, and had a fierce dispute with the drunken female protagonist's father. During the shoving, the grape garden was lit by kerosene lamps, and the fire burned all night, and the grape garden was burned down. The male protagonist threw himself into the firefighting operation at the first time, and moved the female protagonist's father with sincerity. Although the entire vineyard was burned by the fire, the roots as a symbol of reproduction were still there.
