Synopsis[edit]
After his mother's death, Long Tai (Mike He) returns to Taiwan in search of his long lost father and twin brother. When people mistake him for his brother, who has left the country, he perpetuates the mistake; the change does not go unnoticed by his brother's foe, Zhao Ren Hu (Nylon Chen), who has planned on defeating Long Tian He (Mike He). In a festival competition, Zhao tries to take over Long's hot spring, but is defeated by Long Tai: as per agreement, Zhao sends his sister (DaYuan Lin) to Long's house to work as an indenture servant for a year, but secretly orders her to spy on Long. But his sister has other things in mind.
