Grandpa Wen Tailai controls the Wen family with an iron fist, much the the displeasure of his son Chaojie, who is constantly trying to assert his authority within the family. When Grandpa comes down with Parkinson's Disease, he hides his anxieties by retiring from his job as a school principal and concealing his ailment from his family. When the truth is revealed, he decides to step down as the patriarch of his family and lets his son run the family.

Relationships in the family worsen when eldest son Freeman moves out and he and second son Ray end up competing for the same girl, an aspiring cake maker named Miki, while the third son becomes especially rebellious as his father tries to assert himself as the family patriarch by implementing stricter and less reasonable rules for his sons to follow. When the Wen family starts teetering off the track, the old and retired Grandpa had to step in to clear the mess and gently guide everyone back.
