Jiang Peixiang, a Chinese physician, and his wife, Liu Yujuan, have two daughters and a son. Elder daughter Xinyu helps out in the shop and is studying Chinese medicine. She is kind but ugly. Second daughter Xinhui is smart and pretty, and is a famous artiste. The Jiangs dote on Xinhui, who is a wilful and spoilt child. They also indulge their son, Zhiheng, an undergraduate who loves rock music. Xinyu, being neglected, often feels her parents are unfair.
