After their father's factory closed due to the recession, Xiao Xun and her sister Chanel found themselves under the care of Mimi-chan, a glamorous police detective and family friend, as their parents evaded debt collectors. To make ends meet, the sisters decided to take in a new roommate named Lee Wei. Lee Wei, who happened to be the younger sibling of a notorious crime boss named Lee Xiong, harbored ambitions of following in his brother's criminal footsteps despite his exceptional intelligence that seemed better suited for a different path. Lee Xiong, however, insisted that Lee Wei attend college and lead a respectable life, a demand that Lee Wei adamantly refused. As a result, Lee Wei was sent to Mimi-chan for guidance and positive influence, given her law enforcement background. Over the course of a peculiar and eventful summer, these individuals from contrasting backgrounds would coexist under one roof and gain valuable insights into the complexities of life.
