    Huo Donglin received a telegram from his hometown: his wife had eloped with someone else, taking their child with her. Before he could even grieve, a shout suddenly came from outside the iron gate: "Lin Heidan, come out quickly! We've brought your wife to join us at the army camp!" Huo Donglin turned around to see his son, a spitting image of him, holding a megaphone, and his daughter, unfurling a banner. In the center stood his stunningly beautiful young wife, whom he hadn't seen in five years. From then on, Huo Donglin lived a life of chaos, constantly vying with his twins for his wife.
