In the capital city of Beijing, there is a special group who are affectionately called "alley housekeepers" by the people. The "alley housekeeper" is not a leader, but in their heart they wear all things of the neighborhood. There are many problems directly related to the common people, such as neighbourhood disputes, parking on roads, private construction, public toilet renovation, environmental improvement, and caring for the empty-nest elderly.

This Chinese period drama series follows the fortunes of a prominent merchant family engaged in Traditional Chinese Medicine during the waning years of the Ching dynasty. The affairs of this family of doctors/pharmacists (which in those days were one and the same) are intimately linked with social upheavals of the time such as the encroachment of Christian missionaries and foreign imperialism as well as conflicts that inevitably emerge in a large upper class family. Comparable in scope and production value to such recent titles as "Downton Abbey", the lives and character of both masters and servants intertwine in plot lines that spans more than a generation.
