Потому что у кого-то другого денег еще больше, чем у вас, и этот кто-то мимоходом лишит вас такой привилегии, как любимый столик в эксклюзивном ресторане или экстренный вызов личного - лучшего в мире! - врача. Но что удивительно - находятся люди, которых не волнуют подобные проблемы! Например, Ник Янг, потомок известного рода и наследник грандиозного имения в центре Сингапура. Чудак из-за женитьбы на своей избраннице отказался от богатства и навеки поссорился с любимой бабушкой, могущественной Шан Суи, которая мечтала оставить ему бесценное недвижимое имущество, но, по слухам, переписала завещание. И вот древняя Шан Суи лежит при смерти, а внука, приехавшего помириться с бабушкой перед ее кончиной, даже не пускают на порог. Вокруг лакомого куска роятся вероятные наследники и плетутся немыслимые интриги. Кому же достанется великолепное поместье, будоражащее умы самых богатых людей Азии?
