It made its debut on 30 September 2009 and ended on 30 October 2009. This drama serial consists of 23 episodes, and was screened on every weekday night at 9:00 pm.
As the boss of a flourishing furniture shop, Zheng Fa Cai (Zhu Hou Ren) is known to be a businessman who built up his business from scratch. He leads a blissful and peaceful life with his wife, Long Bao Yin (Lin Mei Jiao), and two children, Guo An (Darren Lim) and Xiao Yang (Jesseca Liu).
On the contrary to the Zhengs, life has not been smooth-sailing for Huang Mei Ling (Xiang Yun) and her family. Her good-for-nothing husband, Ah Nan (Richard Low) constantly badgers her for more money and often beats up both mother and daughter. Sick and tired of this nonsense, Huang finally decides to escape from home with her daughter Li Ping (Felicia Chin) to be free from Ah Nan’s clutches.
Due to a lack of proper upbringing, a brash Li Ping gave up on her studies and became an unwed mother. She lost all focus in life and idles her time away. With no proper job, Li Ping mixes around with bad company and can be often found at the pool parlour. To support her malingerer daughter and grandson, Mei Ling takes up two jobs and becomes the sole breadwinner of the family.
Young and wild, Li Ping finds her son, Olympic, a burden and often leaves him in the care of her neighbour, Lee Jia Cheng (Tay Ping Hui). He helps them with the responsibility of caring for baby Olympic and lessens the heavy burden of the Huang women.
When Li Ping discovered that Fa Cai used to be her mother’s first love, she begins to make use of his soft-hearted nature for her own benefit. She lands herself in hot soup and chalks up a debt. With nobody to turn to, she looks Fa Cai up and attempts to sell Olympic to him to solve her money woes.
Fa Cai mistakes Li Ping to be his daughter and cannot bear to see his grandson in the hands of other people. He arranges for Olympic to be adopted by Guo An but was initially rejected by the latter. Upon knowing that Olympic is his father’s grandson, Guo An decides to adopt the baby despite objections from his wife, Angelina (Apple Hong). Unwilling to comply, Angelina decides to walk out on the family, putting the couple’s relationship to a test.
