The beginning shows Chow Sai Hin and Princess Cheung Ping growing up together. They were best friends, and it shows how deeply their friendship grew as each day passed by. Unfortunately, Yuk Fung, the Queen, was punished for killing Tin Fei's child. She was framed for this because Tin Fei wanted to become Queen by getting rid of Yuk Fung. Therefore, Yuk Fung and her two daughters got kicked out into a place where all the people who used to be concubines lived.

Tin Fei tried to kill them once and for all by setting the place on fire, but they escaped. After that, they lived in the country, suffering year by year of over-working themselves just to put a little food on the table. They lived in a small shack. Chiu Yan's dream was to become a dancer while Cheung Ping, the most loved and respectful daughter, worked extremely hard to help her mother get money. Cheung Ping moves to another place to work because she needs to make money for her family. She promised her mother she'd bring home a pack of rice each time she was able to go home while her sister, Princess Chiu Yan, attended a dancing school. There, Cheung Ping meet Cho Sing Hing, who was the son of the owner who produced cannons. She also found her long-lost friend, Chow Sai Hin, there. She didn't reveal herself, because if she did, her mother was afraid Tin Fei would come after them. Therefore, she went under the name was Chu Fai Lei and Chiu Yan went under the name Chu Fai Lan. Sing Hing liked Fai Lei, not knowing she was once a princess of the palace. Chow Sai Hin suspected that Fai Lei was Cheung Ping because he knew Cheung Ping wasn't dead. He found a wish paper stuck in the tree that had her name on it.

He continued to investigate until he finally got it out of her mouth that she was heung Ping. When the King found out that his wife and children were still alive, he let them back into the palace, but hardly paid attention to them. This is where Chiu Yan causes trouble. She joins up with Tin Fei to destroy her mother and family, especially her sister, heung Ping. She is jealous of her sister because she gets all the attention. Chow Sai Hin is arranged to marry Cheung Ping. The Chow Yuk Fung got angry when she found out Cheung Ping and Chow Sai Hin were together, but soon after, she couldn't be angry at Cheung Ping anymore. The four of them, Lee Yuk Han, Cheung Ping, Chow Sai Hin, and Sing Hing were the best of friends. Unfortunately, when Lee Yuk Han was trying to help Cheung Ping prove that the Queen did NOT poison Tin Fei's child that day, she got killed accidentally by Tin Fei. After that, Chow Sai Hin was arranged to marry Cheung Ping, while Chiu Yan is forced to marry Tong Bo Lun, a somewhat perverted and fierce commander. Chow Sai Hin then goes to war with Sing Hing to fight for their country.Cheung Ping made Sing Hing and Chow Sai Hin both promise that they would come back without a hair missing from their heads. Chiu Yan harmed her mother so much that she became a servant in the palace. The Emperor still had strong feelings for Chow Yuk Fung, but his mother and Tin Fei kept on trying to tear them apart. Then comes the war. The country is in chaos. Tin Fei became ill. Ng Sam Kwai, who is a very smart and powerful commander did not support the Emperor because he though the Emperor killed his lover, Chan Yuen Yuen. But it was really that Tin Fei's father kidnapped her and made it look like she died in order for the fall of the kingdom because he hated the Emperor. After that, the Emperor lost the war. Ng Sam Kwai joined up with the enemy team. Unlike the old version, the Emperor did not chop off Cheung Ping's arm or make the Chow Yuk Fung hang herself. He let them go and they decided to meet up somewhere else safer. Unfortunately, on the way, the Emperor died and was hung on a tree atop a mountain so people can laugh as they walk by at the bottom. The Queen was left in charge of the army and the country, along with her son who was pretty much useless as a King. Many opposed because they thought the Chow Yuk Fung was trying to become a Female King. Cheung Ping supported her mother the whole way. Chiu Yan was supposed to be taken to Tong Bo Lun's camp because she attempted to kill Cheung Ping (because she somehow fell in love with Sai Hin). Cho Sing Hing was ordered to escort her there. In an attempt to escape and frame Sing Hing, she ripped her own clothes and poured water in the barrel-like "tub". Then she made it look like Sing Hing tried to rape her while she was taking a bath. Tong Bo Lun busted into the room. He made his men beat up Sing Hing, then break all the bones in his leg. Then Tong Bo Lun left with Chiu Yan. Sing Hing was left on the streets with nobody to help him.

After this, Chiu Yan returned to the palace to stir up some more trouble for her mother. She sided with the enemy and gave them all the maps. One day,Cheung Ping followed her out of the castle and caught her betraying her country. Chiu Yan was put into jail. On the day of Cheung Ping and Chow Sai Hin's marriage, Chiu Yan hung herself in the jail. The Chow Yuk Fung stopped the wedding and ran down to see what happened. Chiu Yan pretended she was half-dead and then surprisingly shot her mother with a pistol. Then she pretended she was still knocked-out so the Queen's bodyguard, who was waiting outside, wouldn't suspect she killed the Queen. After that, the Queen died in bed, making sure that the people of her country would be safe in Cheung Ping and Chow Sai Hin's hands. The opposing men, Tong Bo Lun and Fok Wong, tried to knock her son off the throne. Cheung Ping was forced out of the kingdom in order to have a fair fight, because they didn't want him to get any help. Chow Sai Hin was forced not to help him, too. Cheung Ping lived outside the palace, and met up with Sing Hing. After many years, he lost the war to Fok Wong. Fok Wong then became the new ruler. While Sai Hin was in a temple, he found Cheung Ping there, and also, the long-time-no-see Sing Hing. He found out what Chiu Yan had done to Sing Hing, and was more than just a little angry with her.Chiu Yan became Chiu Yan Ge Ge of the enemy country. Ng Sam Kwai found out that the King never killed Chan Yuen Yuen and regretted not helping him. He felt he betrayed the King in a very hurtful way and framed him. He and Chan Yuen Yuen went back together, and Ng Sam Kwai sent people to kill the man who kidnapped her, and who also caused the fall of the Emperor's kingdom.

Chiu Yan decided to join the war on the enemy team. She kidnapped Sai Hin and blackmailed Cheung Ping to come there. That is when Chiu Yan accidentally blurted out that she killed their mother. Now she was going to kill Chow Sai Hin and Cheung Ping. They were about to die together, but then the Ching ruler stopped them. He wanted peace and to take over their country without hurting anyone. Cheung Ping agreed to let him, as long as nobody got hurt and Chiu Yan was sent to jail for killing the Queen. He agreed to this, and even with Chiu Yan's pleading, he sent her to jail for life. After that, Cheung Ping and Chow Sai Hin were to marry to calm the Han people. Sing Hing didn't want them to get married because he knew they would commit suicide under these circumstances. Instead of committing suicide, they made it look like they killed themselves on the wedding night, then ran off into the country and became villagers. The 'death' was to make it look like they died so they could leave and live a peaceful life. The Chings took over after Cheung Ping and Chow Sai Hin supposedly 'died'. Sing Hing, Cheung Ping, and Chow Sai Hin lived together and passed each day happily. Cheung Ping was pregnant, and Sing Hing was to become the godfather. Although Sing Hing's leg never recovered, he still lived each day happily with his best friends.

Characters :

Charmaine Sheh as Cheung Ping : She ish the King and Queens' 2nd daughter. Her character more kind and gentle. She willing to protect others and take the blame for someone else. No matter what happens to herself or if she gets scolded or punish she wont talk back or do anything harmful to the person.

Steven Ma as Chow Sai Hin : His character ish more agressive. Him and Cheung Ping are lovers since they were 10 and still loved each other till they grew up, But becauze of a bad situation that both had to leave each other, Sai Hin never gave up into looking for and loving Cheung Ping.
