The premise is a lottery Cinderella told from the child's side. Lily is not a princess in a castle; she is a little girl whose parents have spent her childhood raising a son while she does the work. The opening arc starts with her on the street, and the encounter with Jack — a struggling handyman who is, by the show's own description, overweight and self-doubting — is not a fairy-tale rescue but a meeting of two people who are both, in their own way, on the outside.
The series runs 63 episodes in English, with the opening stretch of the story playable on the official YourChannel player. That opening stretch stays inside the meeting and the first windfall: the street, the handyman, the ticket, the new home, and the first arrival of the birth parents. The later episodes — the full custody struggle, the bonding, and the community warmth that builds the family — are left to the show itself rather than summarized here. The show's own stated moral is that love is never defined by blood or money.
The lottery ticket is the engine, not the point. A discarded billion-dollar ticket gives them a dream home and the surface of a new life, but the show uses the wealth to ask a harder question: whether a handyman who doubts his own worth is qualified to raise a child, and whether the parents who abandoned her have a right to come back when the money arrives. The greedy birth parents are the antagonist in the opening arc, and Jack's self-doubt is the antagonist inside the house.

Lily, Jack and The Birth Parents carry the opening arc.
A little girl grown up unloved by her biological parents, who dote on their son while treating her like household labor. Abandoned on the street, she crosses paths with Jack, and a discarded billion-dollar lottery ticket turns the two of them into the start of a family.
An overweight handyman who is struggling when he meets Lily on the street. The lottery ticket gives him the surface of a new life, but the opening arc is his self-doubt about whether he is qualified to raise her at all — which is the internal conflict the wealth cannot solve.
Lily's biological parents, who dote on their son while treating Lily like household labor. The opening arc is the moment they come back into her life, now that a billion-dollar fortune has appeared, and the show frames that return as the central conflict of the new family.
Four editorial picks from the opening street-and-ticket arc — the abandonment, the handyman, the lottery, and the first return of the parents. No ending spoilers.
The opening episode establishes what Lily has been living through: parents who dote on a son and treat her as household labor. The show does not soften the neglect, which is what makes the meeting with Jack feel like a rescue rather than a coincidence.
Jack is not a prince; he is a struggling, overweight handyman with his own doubts about being wanted. The opening arc lets that ordinariness sit next to the child, which is the whole point of the found-family setup.
A discarded billion-dollar lottery ticket changes both of their fates. The show treats the windfall as the setup for conflict rather than as the happy ending: a dream home appears, and with it the problem of who is now allowed to claim her.
The greedy birth parents return once the fortune is visible, and the opening arc turns from a meet-cute into a custody question. Jack's self-doubt is the internal side of that conflict; the parents are the external one.
Captured from the opening episodes — not promotional art.
Written from the opening arc. These are editorial impressions, not audience scores.
The show is honest that the fortune is a device, not the wish. The money buys a dream home and then immediately becomes the thing that calls the greedy parents back, which is the oldest and cleanest way to run a custody drama.
Jack is written as a man who doubts he is qualified to be a parent, which is a more honest protagonist for a found-family story than a confident savior. The opening arc's warmth comes from watching two people who are both on the outside decide they want each other.
Best for viewers who like warm found-family drama with a child lead, a lottery Cinderella engine and a custody conflict that starts the moment the money arrives. The opening arc is the street, the handyman, the ticket and the parents' return; the later bonding and community warmth are left to the show. If you want a pure feel-good comedy without the custody edge, the early episodes spend real time on the neglect that set the story in motion.
