Episodes 1-4
We first meet a young Pee living in poverty with her ailing grandma. While forging for food and hoping to pick the Asoke flower to eat, Pee meets and befriends Monthai.
Monthai is preparing to leave for Australia to continue his studies. This is does not please his two faced girlfriend Wee. Nu, Monthai’s half brother, has also won a scholarship to study in Australia. Before he leaves, Nu cruelly cuts off all ties with Paa, Wee’s younger sister. Paa is the black sheep of her family because she’s actually nice and looks beyond social status, hence, her growing affection for Nu.
Pee’s life is further entangled with Monthai’s when Wee’s father hits Pee’s grandma with his car, killing her. With her last breath, Pee’s grandma asks Wee’s family to take care of Pee. Seeing Pee as free labor, they agree.
Having a husband with a wandering eye, Monthai’s mother, Koon Ying, is very suspicious of any lower class servants who may or may not have their sights set on her son. One servant, in particular, Lak, who does secretly love Monthai, stumbles onto Koon Ying’s radar. Although Monthai’s intentions are only to help Lak, he worsens the situation by always being with Lak at the wrong time. The final straw is when Lak is accused of having slept with Monthai. At wit’s end, Lak hangs herself, leaving only the crypt message, “I’m innocent,� written in blood red petals.
Shaken by Lak’s suicide and angry at his mother for her part in it, Monthai decides to depart early for Australia. Before he leaves, Pee gives him a handkerchief with an “M� she has worked all night to embroider. He gives her flowers from the Asoke tree.
