Detailed Description of Plot

# The family has a fortune of $1 billion with a mooncake pastry shop.

# Ha Yu has seven children - Moses Chan, Raymond Lam, Tavia Yeung, Lai Lok Yi, Fala Chen, Wan Ka Hang, and Linda Chung. Linda is not Ha Yu’s birth daughter, but is Michelle Yim’s daughter. Tavia is an adopted daughter.

# Lee Heung Kam joins to act as Ha Yu’s mother, who uses schemes to arrive at justice. She doesn’t like Lee See Kei, so she frequently scolds her. Everyone in the family listens to her. Her nature is almost like a little kid. She says her role is heavy; she appears in every episode.

# Ha Yu and Lee See Kei are again a husband and wife, but from the start they are divorced. Each have custody of three children; Moses, Lai Lok Yi, and Wan Ka Hang are with Ha Yu while Raymond, Tavia, and Fala are with Lee See Kei. At the very end, the family will be reunited.

# Lee See Kei’s role this time is a carefree, good person. She frequently tells gags to make people laugh. However, when she lectures, she will still speak “golden words”. She is often teased as being “fat” by Susanna Kwan.

# Lee See Kei and Susanna are sisters this time, but they will frequently cause trouble for their father. Susanna’s nature is radical and likes doing what she wants. It is another evil role. However, her evilness is also loveable. It’s because of her good heart that she does bad. Luckily, her father and elder sister are there to mend things for her.

# Wayne Lai and Susanna will have a “brother/sister” relationship. Wayne’s role is a pastry master.

# Michelle is the new villain. Her character was a worker at the cake factory, but schemed to steal Lee See Kei’s husband. Furthermore, she sent Ha Yu’s children overseas to study, not letting them stay by their father’s side. She spoils them on purpose.

# Moses’ character this time around is a player and spoiled. He will be involved with many women, but his main romantic storyline is a love triangle with Tavia and Kate Tsui.

# Tavia’s role is similar to her role in the last series. She will be someone whose life is suppressed, but her nature is still happy. She has quite a lot of scenes where she will be taunted by Susanna.

# Raymond’s character cares very much about his family. He says his role is heavy, so he has a lot of stress. He’s going to go to a pastry shop to learn how to make cakes.

# Linda’s character is a physician. Her role is similar to “‘Seung Joi Sum” in the last series, however, she will not cry as much. Her relationships with Raymond and Bosco is a painful love story. Linda says that her role is almost like “Seung Joi Sum” - they are both kind people - but the way she portrays this new role has to be different from last time.

# Bosco will not appear until after the 10th episode. His character is a doctor in the gynecology department. This time, Bosco’s character is unrelated to Ha Yu’s family, so his scenes will be less. However, Bosco is not worried because last time Raymond’s character was also an “outsider”, but the response to his role was very good. Because he has to fight with Raymond for Linda, he is worried that he will be called a girlfriend snatcher.

# Kate plays Susanna’s daughter; she herself is also a troublemaker. Because of her greed for money, she pursues Moses’ character. The story says that Kate and Susanna returned from Portugal, so they have to speak Portuguese and English.

# In the very end, Tavia will end up with Moses

# Fala’s character is a mute, so she is learning sign language. Fala will be paired up with Yeung Tin Ging. Tavia and Fala have a lot of scenes together, so Tavia also has to learn sign language.

# Shirley Yeung and Jack Wu act as the young Lee See Kei and Ha Yu.
