The story begins with a poor orphan named Chan Dai Ha who sells warm desserts. Once, Gei Hau Yee, a rich, unmarried girl, gave him a bowl of sweet desserts, saving his life, and since then, he has been in love with her.
One day, when he is going home, he sees a man fall from the sky. He asks the stranger if he is alright, but the man just runs away. Each time Dai Ha tries to do something nice for Hau Yee, it goes the wrong way and angers her instead.
After a brief encounter with Dai Ha, of which she stomps off with her servant, Hau Yee and her servant fall down a hill and saves them. However, they are not grateful and Hau Yee even eats his soup, unfortunately with the ten magical beans in it that also fell from the sky.
This caused her to be pregnant. As there is a law in her town that becoming pregnant before marriage is illegal, the villagers want to drown her in a pig cage. Dai Ha, just passing by, heard this and stepped out and said that he was the father of the baby, (actually,
babies) even if he was not. Therefore, the villagers do not execute Hau Yee, but her father disowns her, and she has to go to live with Dai Ha.
At first, Hau Yee is extremely angry with Dai Ha, but eventually they get along better. Then, one night, Hau Yee gives birth to ten babies. Together, they raise the children, but in a month, they all became adults except for the 10th child. This scares Hau Yee and Dai Ha and they run away to hide from them.
While 8 of them run around town and cause trouble, Number Two and Three get lost and are brought into the home of the evil Man Sai Hung. Sai Hung's wife doesn't want her husband to know their sons died, so she conveniently replaces them with Number Two and Three.
After a while, the town gets fed up with the 8 brothers and wanted to burn them alive. However, Hau Yee and Dai Ha decide to stop them and they are banned from the town. Then, they have to move to another town to live, which coincidentally happens to be the town where Number Two and Three are also in.
Four and Ten were sold to a circus whose ring leader was very strict and cunning. He tricked them into signing a contract with him, so that they would work for him for ten years. Nine was sold to a richer family, one that treated him nicely.
Soon, they become sick, and they gain magical powers, each one having a unique one. One by one, they become re-united once again with their family, and it is a touching ending that warms the heart of every viewer... This is definitely a must-watch.
