But when she is diagnosed with late stage cancer, Grandma Lin has no choice but to entrust her beloved Sunshine House to her granddaughter, Ye Xiao Mei (Wu Qian).

Picking up her grandmother’s mantle, Xiao Mei runs Sunshine House with the same warmth and love as her grandmother, caring for each resident as if they were her own family.
