The story takes place in the Victorian era of England. The heroine Sarah (played by Meryl) was born in poverty, but has a talent for drawing. She has a crush on a French lieutenant, and when she finds out that the lieutenant does not love her, she decisively cuts off contact. She came to Lime Town alone, and was criticized by the locals, but she was deeply attracted by Charles, who was already married. He fell in love while helping Sarah step by step.
Charles was insulted for his repentance, only to find that Sarah left without saying goodbye and waited three years to hear the news. It turned out that Sarah was obsessed with her humble status and fled from a one-night stand when she regretted having a marriage contract with Charles.
Now, Sarah has a job and her painting has developed, she found her own self-esteem, and then contacted Charles, and they eventually got back together.
The story reminds me that everyone has the right to choose, and their destiny has always been in their own hands. You can make mistakes, but don't forget your original intentions. Love, not mercy, can last on the basis of equality!
