Now that his children have grown up and started their own families and careers, Zheng Laowan thought his worries for them were almost over and began to dream of an unusual twilight romance for himself. However, things do not go as smoothly as he wished. As parents, they always have endless worries about their children’s affairs. Zheng Laowan lives outside the city with his eldest son Zheng Laiwen, his eldest daughter-in-law, and his younger son Zheng Laibin.

People in and out of the city come and go for life, work, and emotions. These ordinary people play different roles in various fields of society. Different values and diverse ways of thinking lead them to experience the bittersweet and sour of life in the colorful society and complex interpersonal relationships. Those in politics seek promotion, farmers seek wealth, workers seek stability, and businesspeople seek fortune... This drama focuses on reflecting the rich social practices and psychological journeys of ordinary people in Northeast urban and rural areas through the descriptions of many stories and character portrayals among fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, brothers and sisters, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, sisters-in-law, and neighbors and colleagues in the everyday life of the Zheng and Pei families.
