Middle-aged Ding Shikou visits a matchmaker to find a wife. Finally, she sends him the perfect one. Desperate to impress her, Ding promises her a far more extravagant wedding than he can afford, leading her to believe he is rich. Then desperate, to make money, Ding refurbishes an abandoned railway car on Lover's Lane and charges admission for young couples wandering by. Up in the woods, he discovers a young blind girl who's just attempted suicide. He saves her life this time only to witness her attempt again. She tells him she wouldn't be so desperate if she had a job, so he offers one at his hotel, in hopes of re-instilling the will to live in her. Ding tells her a tangled and hilarious mess of lies in order to employ her. He even has a group of old retirees create a fake hotel environment in an abandoned factory, so she believes she has a legitimate job. Finally, he must tell her the truth and come clean to his fiancée, which turns out to be both a heartbreaking and hilarious life lesson for all involved.
