A string of corals as red as blood was worn on the chest by the proud black-eyed Marusya and she wanted to give it to her daughter as a present for happiness... She believed that she knew what happiness was. But isn't it up to a woman to decide - not to fate? Because the woman thought: "What will people say?" And they will say that it will stick, you can't tear it off... But no one ever found out how Stepan had been waiting for her, someone else's wife, every night, all his life. She gave birth to a daughter for him, because she loved him... And then people made up a legend...

In a once promising village, and now a promising place for a golf club and luxurious estates, Ruslana Ordynska, a young beauty, daughter of a Ukrainian oligarch, comes from abroad. She is looking for not just a place to live, but a place with a legend. Instead, she finds a dried-up lilac bush and a red bead under it, the only one on a thin thread... And a few fragile living sprouts...
