It turns out these cute pets are “undercover agents” sent by the mother-in-law to test if Lin Wan is a thrifty and qualified daughter-in-law. But Lin Wan refuses to play by the rules: she “bribes” the big orange with spicy fried meat to be her “insider”, teaches the reed chicken to pick wild eggs for pocket money, and even lets the little white dog keep an eye on the “green tea girl” chasing her husband. Gu Jingchuan, a no-nonsense straight man, goes from “mediating both sides” to secretly helping Lin Wan feed the pets canned food. Even the mother-in-law can't help but laugh and feign anger at the interactions between the young couple and the pets. When the “undercover pets” become “family favorites”, the warmth of the military courtyard hides the sweet磨合 of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the tender love between husband and wife, and the “divine assistance” daily lives of the cute pets.
