Yau Nim Chi is the head of the wealthy Kam House and a single parent to the 24-year-old Kam triplets. The Kam family runs a popular noodle restaurant in town, where the noodles are famously prepared by Nim Chi's confident younger brother, Yau Nim Fu. Princess Sam Tin, the emperor's beloved and only child, has reached marriageable age, prompting the emperor to organize a competition among scholars in the capital city to vie for her hand in marriage. Nim Chi's eldest son Kam Nin, a talented and young fifth-ranking scholar-official serving in the royal court, is compelled to participate in the competition. Despite having a promising career ahead of him, Nin's fate takes a turn when he openly criticizes the princess in a poem during the contest, accusing her of being ignorant of the struggles faced by the common people. This offends the princess, resulting in Nin being demoted to a lowly ninth-ranking official and being sent back to his hometown of Chi Lik Kung Town to serve as the town's magistrate. Eventually, the emperor arranges for Princess Sam Tin to marry a Persian prince after failing to find a suitable match for her in the competition. Unhappy with the arrangement, the princess escapes the palace with her eunuch Siu Yuen and ends up in Chi Lik Kung Town. While there, she is pleased to observe men working on her lily pond, but becomes enraged upon seeing an unflattering statue of herself being constructed. In a fit of anger, she destroys the statue, leading to her being brought to court and facing Magistrate Nin. Unaware of her true identity, Nin asks for her name. Keeping her royal status hidden, the princess impulsively provides the name "Kung Yan So." Upon hearing this name, Nim Chi mistakes the princess for the daughter of the individual who had sacrificed their life to save Nin. Believing that the Kam household would provide a safe haven for her, the princess, along with Siu Yuen, decides to stay with the Kam family until it is safe for them to depart. In the meantime, they assist with community work in Nin's office as a form of punishment for destroying government property.

The story is inspired by a traditional Korean tale about two brothers, Man Bo and Choon Bo. Man Bo is portrayed as a wealthy real estate tycoon who prioritizes wealth and women over everything else, while his younger brother Choon Bo is depicted as kind and submissive. The brothers had been estranged for almost two decades, ever since Choon Bo gave his youngest son, Yeong Goo, to Man Bo in the hopes of having a son. Unfortunately, Choon Bo's wife believed that their youngest son had passed away shortly after birth. After facing financial ruin, Choon Bo turns to his brother for help. He moves into the small house next to Man Bo's, bringing along his three children, daughter-in-law, and wife. Together, they strive for a better future. Tensions arise between the families as Man Bo's wife and daughter try to make life difficult for Choon Bo's daughter, Soo Jin. When Soo Jin and Mi Ree find themselves competing for the same man, the outcome is predictable - the kind-hearted girl emerges victorious. As the two families clash over love, secrets, and money matters, the virtuous brother ultimately teaches the wealthy brother a valuable lesson, echoing the themes of the original Korean folktale.
