Yuen is a music teacher as well as a househusband. He meets, falls in love, and marries an optimistic TV scriptwriter, Ting, in a rush. Unfortunately, before they can adjust to the newlywed life, they suddenly become “parents” of five nephews and nieces. Yuen and Ting move from a small family into a big house to live with five nieces and nephews. Although their personalities and principles in teaching the children are complete opposites, they can always manage to solve any problems with their love. However, the children find out that their father’s death has been covered up. They divert their anger to Yuen and Ting and run away from home. Eventually, Yuen and Ting find them back. When the children start to treat them like real parents, their marriage is in a crisis. Will the children have to face another major change at home?
