Synopsis[]

A decorated military career will only carry you so far with your own children. Wang Da Shan (Kou Shi Xun) is a retired army colonel who tries to run his household with the same military precision and authority. But his four adult children, Shang Wen (Esther Liu), Shang Huan (Tracy Chou), Shang Hao and Shang Mo, and his aging mother see his barked orders as toothless bites and don’t take him very seriously. As the strong-willed and smart eldest daughter, Shang Wen is highly successful as the editor of an international fashion magazine, but Da Shan worries about her future as she is nearing 30 and is still single. Shang Huan works for a travel agency organizing dating events and is a valued employee but always lives under the shadow of her successful older sister. When Yang Yu Fan (Xiu Jie Kai), a cadet under Da Shan’s charge, and Zhu Li Ting (Michael Zhang), a second-generation young master, both fall for Shang Huan, how will it complicate her personal and professional life?[2]
