Lin Xiaodong's mother remarried, causing Lin Xiaodong's life to break into two new family members. Facing his elegant stepmother and wary stepsister Su Xiaoyu, he chose to use silver needles and medical books to keep his distance. He is the highly respected "Miracle Doctor Lin" on campus, but he is a "stranger" who is wary of at home.
An unexpected helping hand, a shared family activity, and the ice begins to melt. When misunderstandings are dispelled by goodwill, and when barriers are replaced by tolerance, three unrelated people, under the same roof, redefine the meaning of "family" with sincerity and care.
This is a story about understanding, tolerance and growth, telling how a ray of warm sunshine from the apricot forest warms a reorganized home.
