Just in Singapore

Characters include Lin Bang, an over-the-hill stage-singer, and his family; Robert and Mary, a married couple who are not disabled in any way but totally rely on relief funds from the government to get by; Ma Zhigang, a man without conscience who secretly caused his grandmother's death so he can claim insurance funds; 'Auntie Auto' and 'San Wan who are misers; 'Uncle Kopi' and 'Auntie Kopi' who are still living in their rental flat even though their children are doing very well... Uncle Kopi and Auntie Kopi have a large ceramic tub at home.

Left behind by Uncle Kopi's father, it has held water for the baths of many generations in their family.

The old couple is unwilling to give it up and decide to put it at their neighbour Grandmother Ma's home for the time being.

The tub left behind by Zhigang is picked up by the Weijie, the eldest son of the lazy couple Robert and Mary.

Their eldest daughter Xiuzhen, a university student, is pretty, intelligent, and carries a torch for Su Dingyi, a handsome and stylish young man from a wealthy family.

Hence, she does not mind when people find out that she lives in a rented flat, has a father who is a taxi driver by day and getai singer by night and a mother who gets up to dodgy things at the temple.

Uncle Kopi's son, a professor, discovers that a Chinese ceramics auction by Sotheby's includes a particular piece named 'Nine Dragon Tub'.

This is a precious treasure from the palace dating back to the year of Qing Kang and is valued at US$5,000,000.
