Premise

A strong-willed disciplinarian mother (tiger mother) faces mountainous pressure raising her daughter, while her husband (cat father) has an opposite view of how to raise their daughter.[1]

Qian Qian is the school-aged daughter of Bi Sheng Nan and Luo Su, and the princess of the family. After learning from others that the educational foundation starts in elementary school and witnessing first hand the difficult process of entering a great school, Bi Sheng Nan finally realized that they have spoiled their daughter for way too long.

Determined to catch her daughter up with all the other kids, she has quickly grown into the role of a tiger mom while her husband maintains that the happiness of Qian Qian is the most important, even if that means being academically behind. Mixed in the bag are two sets of opinionated grandparents and the reappearance of Luo Su’s gentle ex-girlfriend.
