Synopsis
Handsome, renowned lawyer Xiang Yu Ping (Jerry Yan) is seen by others as cold and ruthless. After his older brother dies in a car accident he has little choice but take in his brother's two orphaned children, Yu Fei and Yu Ting, whose mother had abandoned them soon after their birth. Every nanny he hires to care for them is either scared off by the mischievous children or ends up trying to seduce him. Fed up, Yu Ping asks his secretary, Yang Duo, to find a nanny that meets his requirements. Having lost all their wealth when their mother died and being abandoned by their father after racking up heavy debts, Yang Duo cannot ignore the fact that she needs the money and recommends her younger sister Yang Guo (Ella Chen) for the job, assuring Yu Ping that her tomboyish sister will not fall in love with him by lying that she is a lesbian. But the tables are turned on Yu Ping as he ends up falling in love with his new nanny.
