Ava, a severely nearsighted girl who can barely afford rent, breaks a wishing willow branch to pray for wealth—and unexpectedly regains her eyesight, gaining the ability to see the true value of objects and to see through their interiors. With these eyes, she discovers a priceless gem inside a cheap porcelain vase at a flea market, and spots a million-dollar masterpiece in a decorative painting at a pastry shop. As the vendors think they've gotten the better of her and the experts collectively misjudge, she pulls off a wealth turnaround from a poor working girl to a multimillionaire—by playing poor to haggle, snapping up bargains at low prices, and revealing treasures in public.
