    Summary

    Chris shifted uncomfortably, his gaze darting away again. “Because I don’t want to be here. I don’t want to be with Dad right now either. And I didn’t say anything before because you were with Tommy, and I didn’t want to mess things up for you.”

    Buck’s chest tightened, guilt creeping in like a shadow. “Chris, you would never mess things up for me. Never. You’re family. You always have a place here. And you’ll always come first.”

    Chris’s shoulders sagged with relief, but his voice was still small. “So I can live with you?”

    Or

    Buck, struggling with abandonment and feelings of being unworthy, is shaken when Chris calls, asking if he can live with Buck now that he’s no longer with Tommy.

    Still hurt and angry with Eddie, Chris refuses to tell his dad about wanting to live with Buck, leaving Buck caught in the middle, torn between protecting Chris and his loyalty to Eddie. Yet as Buck promises to help, he feels something shift—beneath all the self-doubt and pain, a quiet hope emerges. For the first time in what feels like forever, someone chose him, and maybe, just maybe, he’s not as unworthy of love as he’s always believed.

    Summary

    Young cousins Wei Ying and Jiang Cheng marry into the affluent Lan Family irrespective of their mutual differences. Wei Ying's mother-in-law, the apparently strict Madam Lan, then transforms him into an assertive man, who then goes on to become a powerful family matriarch.

    Witness the lives of these two cousins after their respective marriages within the household of the Lan family and how they take on the challenges of married life and the responsibilities that come with it.

    Although being an illiterate and an orphan, Wei Ying impresses his mother-in-law with his simplicity, willingness to help everyone and his never-ending urge to learn the ways of the household, while lazy Jiang Cheng tries to sabotage all of Wei Ying's hard work.

    In time, Jiang Cheng regrets what he did to Wei Ying and makes amends. Both cousins then run the household together. This is a tale revolved around the Lan family and explores the morals and values of a typical joint family (extended family).
