Synopsis and Plot Summary

An upgraded version of the 2005 family sitcom Happy Home that revolves around two blended families trying to make things work as a household.

The 25-year-old Jiang Nan (Zhang Yezi) and her 22-year-old brother Jiang Bei (Zhang Yishan) are all grown up, but have to face a situation where their parents have gotten a divorce and their apartment have been split in two. Jiang Nan and her mother Wu Qiong (Wang Lin) take the upper floor while Jiang Bei and his father Jiang Guoli (Zhou Xiaobin) live downstairs.

Jiang Guoli who's already 50 years old remarries the 35-year-old gym instructor Dai Lingling (Song Ning). She has an eight-year-old son named Tong Tong (Peng Yibo). Wu Qiong who's 49 years old marries Du Wei (Gao Yalin), an actor who has been a longtime idol of hers. Du Wei has a 12-year-old daughter named Yang Yang (Guo Xinru). Just like that, the two pairs of parents and their four kids are living under one roof.
