Long Life, Happiness and Prosperity

Mindy discovers Taoist charms tucked inside a book at Lee Tai Tai's Fortune Telling and Appliance Repair. She believes these charms could unlock a better life for her mother Kin. The discovery marks the start of a hopeful, if risky, plan.

Mindy resolves to use the charms to improve Kin's life and, she hopes, bring Kin closer to happiness with Alvin Wong. She frames this as practical magic rather than a game. The plan cements Mindy's resolve to act.

Shuck Wong loses his job as a security guard and roams the city in his old uniform, pretending to be employed. The shame strains his marriage to Hun Ping Wong and pushes him toward a crisis of faith. He fears his worth is slipping away as bills mount.

Bing Lai wrestles with his father's expectations in Hong Kong and dreams of proving himself beyond the butcher family tradition. He longs to build his own life and perhaps a family on his own terms. The pressure creates a rift that will pull different threads through the story.

Mindy's plan to win a lottery for Kin backfires when Bing Lai inadvertently cuts in line and wins the prize. The unexpected windfall shifts the family’s fortunes and redirects Bing Lai toward a new path. Mindy watches with hopeful anxiety about the consequences of her magic.

With the prize money, Bing Lai buys his own butcher shop and begins redefining success away from his father’s expectations. The purchase is also a step toward bridging the distance between father and son. Kin and Mindy observe the change with a mix of hope and caution.

Alvin makes a bold but poorly timed attempt to kiss Kin, leaving her shaken and Mindy worried about the future. The moment underscores the fragile balance of affection among the three. The incident amplifies the emotional tensions in the group.

Desperation drives Mindy to try another spell to spark chemistry between Kin and Alvin, hoping to heal the rift. Instead Kin grows drawn to Nelson Zong's charismatic singing and the warm atmosphere around Bing's circle, while Alvin becomes enthralled by Nelson's performances. The misapplied magic deepens the love triangle.

Bing Lai discovers that his son wants to become a Zen monk rather than follow the family trade, prompting him to question his own expectations. The revelation forces Bing Lai to reexamine his relationship with his son and his own sense of purpose. The new path opens a quiet, unsettled space in their family.

Shuck's faith in the Yellow God crumbles and he destroys the shrine he once tended, a stark sign of his eroding beliefs and self-worth. Hun Ping Wong watches the crisis unfold with worry and confusion. The act accelerates the family's already fragile balance.

Mindy's spellbackfires during a dramatic park-wide storm, revealing dangerous consequences as the weather roars and the characters face real danger. The storm also serves as a catalyst that forces the family to confront their true feelings. The park becomes a tense stage for revelation.

A letter arrives from Bing Lai's father declaring that Bing is 'dead to him' since the day he was born, exacerbating the family’s pain. Bing Lai must reckon with the brutal rejection and its impact on his choices. The message deepens the rift but also motivates change.

In the storm, Kin and Alvin confront their own feelings and realize their genuine connection, then band together with Mindy to search for her. Mindy lies unconscious beneath a fallen tree as the rain and wind surge around them. A parallel moment of danger and hope binds the trio closer.

As the storm subsides, Bing Lai reluctantly accepts his son's wish to become a Zen monk, recognizing that happiness may lie beyond traditional paths. Mindy emerges unharmed, and Kin, Alvin, and Mindy share a dancing moment that feels fragile but hopeful. The story closes on a note of resilience and renewed faith in family.
