    Story Overview

    ***WARNING***
    The overview tells you the story right to the very end, so if you don't wanna know what happens, don't read the last paragraph!
    *************

    In the 61st year of the reign of Kangxi in the Qing dynasty, the country was run well with the officials in the court and the martials in the battlefield, historically, this period was known as the Great Times of Kangxi , but due to the large number of princes all fighting for the throne, there came a nervous time when it was time to choose an heir. Kangxi’s fourth son Yinzhing (later Emperor Yongzheng), with his determined nature and forceful approach, together with his knowledge of the control of power won through in the fight for the throne and ascended to the throne in the 61st year of Kangxi’s reign, the next year (1723 AD) was then named after his own reign and became the first year of Yongzheng: after the ascension, he worked and planned for the future and made the Qing dynasty continue to flourish and run into another prosperous era.

    In the 13th year of Yongzheng, the 8th Earl plotted a coup against the government with the aim of forcing Yongzheng to hand over his reign, but Yongzheng used his intelligence to overcome the evil plans and led himself and his realm out of trouble: except that Han maiden Lui Sei Leung could not put aside the hatred of the end of the Han rule and vowed to rid the Qing and reinstate the Ming dynasty, but in her plan to murder Yongzheng, there was a change in the wind and clouds and the two are plunged into darkness, as changes take place in time and space, they are sent into the future and modern day Hong Kong.

    Yongzheng and Leung are sent from the darkness into the scene of a traffic accident and the two are injured and taken to hospital. After they awaken, they are shocked and frightened by their surroundings and are stunned. By a great coincidence, Yongzheng takes the place of mainland immigrant Lee Dai Ha and is taken home by Ha’s uncle Bo Fei; on the other hand, Leung’s martial art skill is spotted by a martial arts master, who helps her to get an ID card and accepts her into the troupe. Later, the troupe arrives in Hong Kong to do a display and Leung meets again with Yongzheng, confirming with him that due to a change in time and space, they had been brought to the modern day, when he realises that he cannot return to the Qing dynasty, he is happy to stay as Ha’s identity and make a life for himself in Hong Kong.

    Ha works hard and learns to become a modern person. He manages to find himself entering the enterprise of Shum Siu Hong as a junior worker and he finds that although times have changed, people’s hearts as just the same and that Hong’s sons and daughters are all fighting for the inheritance of the enterprise and plotting against each other, this makes him think of his own experiences when he was fighting with his brothers for the throne, Hong must also deal with affairs between his three wives and cannot enjoy his family life. Ha sympathises with Hong because of his experiences and through this they gradually develop a very intriguing father-son relationship.

    After leaving the martial arts troupe, Leung still holds onto her ambition of murdering Ha to fulfil her wish, but she finds herself out on the streets and has a hard time, but she still holds onto her bold and honourable values. By chance, she meets with Hong who is being attacked and she steps out to help him and rescues him, although she runs away after this because she is chasing after Ha, in Hong’s heart she is his saviour. Ha tries to enforce to Leung the reality that they cannot return to the Qing dynasty and even if she kills him, this is of no use to anyone, Leung can only face up to the truth and put aside her differences with Ha. By another stroke of fate, Leung meets up with Ha again and he thinks that she has been hurt during her rescue of him, he decides to employ her as his personal bodyguard.

    On the other hand, Ha uses his cunning to pave his way up the employment ladder and becomes the right hand man to Hong’s third son Shum Yat Lai, helping him to create some successes in the business, however Ha gradually learns of Lai’s own agenda and feels he is not a good master, and he finds that Hong’s fourth daughter Shum Yat Ngoi is genuine and is good to her staff and totally committed to the company, so he decides to help her instead, and pushes her towards the route of becoming heir to the realm of the business enterprise. Leung and Ha share so many experiences and Leung learns to get to know Ha again and finds that he is not as ruthless as is recorded in the history books, Ha is touched by Leung’s innocent devotion as the two start to develop affections for each other. Through the guidance of Ha, Ngoi’s performance in the business catches Hong’s attentions and Ngoi had early on succumbed to Ha’s intelligence and fallen in love with him. Leung feels that through her work, protecting Hong, she is having to visit the high class social venues and occasions and feels this is in conflict with her own personality, moreover she is rumoured as Hong’s fourth wife, in protest for her innocence, Leung resigns. At this time, Hong must prepare for his retirement and places a lot of responsibility onto Ha, with the aim of making him son-in-law and future heir. Hong asks Ha to enter the bargain and promises him that as soon as he marries Ngoi, the inheritance of the company will fall into their hands, but after all they have been through, Ha realises that Leung is the one whom he really loves. At the end, after much thought and consideration by Ha, he decides to leave Hong’s company and the arena of fame and fortune, returning to the basic life and pursuing a new life of real meaning with Leung.

    Episode 2 - Sei Leung is mistaken as a "Northern Lady"

    When Heung Yeung hears Leung refer to herself as Lui Sei Leung and that she wants to murder Yongzheng, he mocks her, but then offers to accept her into his martial arts troupe. It turns out that Yeung suspects Leung is suffering from dementia and is confused, but he hopes that she can help to promote the name of his troupe. Yongzheng helps out at Fei’s noodle shop and Shum Yat Ngoi and her colleague Szeto Yuk Ming arrive to eat there, Yongzheng helps her to chase away the ruffian Monkey and return her mobile phone, Ngoi is very grateful. Fei’s son in law Ko King is constantly scolded and beaten by his wife Bo Chu, but dare not retaliate, Yongzheng finds this hard to understand. Yongzheng and King plan an act together and trick Lai Pei Wah to return the money that he owes King.

    Yeung’s troupe arrives in Hong Kong on a touring show and King takes Yongzheng to go and watch them. When Yongzheng sees Leung on the stage, he is very pleased and calls out to her, when Leung sees Yongzheng, then without a word, she aims her sword towards the audience stand, frightening Yongzheng and the other people in the audience who flee instantly. Yongzheng hides in the lift and Leung forces herself to follow him in. Yongzheng asks her why she is so intent on killing him, even after they have both been sent into the future, then he takes his opportunity to run out of the lift, caught inside the lift alone, Leung is petrified. Yeung scolds Leung for bringing shame on the troupe and Leung realises he is using her and leaves angrily. Yongzheng resents the fact that as a Qing Emperor he has to wash clothes, clean the toilet and write out tickets for people and he becomes restless.

    Leung is left out on the streets and asks a man where she can find an inn. The man mistakes her for a “Northern Lady” (prostitute) and takes her to a motel room, but he is beaten to a pulp by Leung. As Leung is on the brink of starvation, she meets with a pregnant woman who is asking her to borrow money, without a thought, she asks everyone around her to borrow money, but when she meets with Shum Yat Lai, she realises she has been tricked by the woman. When Lai offers her $100, she refuses this and asks only for his sandwich, she says that she will repay his great kindness in offering his meal, Lai finds this rather amusing. Yongzheng decides to use the identity of Lee Dai Ha to go and apply for a job as an office assistant.

As soon as Hong sees Leung, he says he must repay her, Leung says her wish is to return to the martial arts troupe and gain recognition for her country, when Hong and Lai hear this, they reach an agreement. Sei Leung happily returns to the troupe, but when Yeung finds out that she has lost all her internal energy, he refuses to let her return and Leung is upset and disappointed. Hong employs her as his personal bodyguard, Leung asks him what consignment she must protect, causing some laughs with Hong. Hau accidentally received Lai's documents and finds the evidence that Chung has been "placing nails" (ie causing problems) with Hin Tat Tower and discloses him.

Lai feels guilty for his carelessness, Ha points out that Hau is not made for success and encourages him to carry on persevering, Lai asks him to be his own personal assistant.

    Leung asks Ha how to overcome her fear of taking lifts, Ha asks her back what talents she has. Leung dresses up as Chun Li and surprises Hong. When the lift door shuts, she turns pale and she mutters to herself and can't stop trembling, Hong is very worried. Ha wears a suit to work and suggests that they should quickly sell off their remaining stock to create space in the warehouse and also raise some cash for the company, Lai is worried that Chung will not be happy about this. Hong agrees with Lai's quick sale suggestion, Ngoi offers to help out and Hong agrees hesitantly. Leung feels that people at the office do not like her, King points out that this because she speaks her mind and upsets many people, he teaches her to call everyone "handsome boy" or "pretty girl", Leung seems to understand but doesn't. Wong sees that Hau is gaining in power and distances himself from Chung to make contact with him, Hau enjoys this and accepts.

    Episode 7 - Siu Hong gradually admires Yat Lai and Dai Ha

    The quick sale project achieves good results and Hong only praises Lai for his work, Ngoi is a little disappointed. Leung points out that Hong is being unfair to Ngoi and his expression sinks. Fan introduces Ngoi to some high class ladies to design their furnishings for them and brings some precious crystal taps for her to use as accessories. Bo On arrives at Hong’s company to borrow money from King and is not successful. Ngoi finds that the crystal taps have gone missing and is very worried, Ha takes it on board to find them for her. Ha goes to question On and he can only admit what he has done. On takes them to go and see Eagle to get the taps back and he asks for $80,000 – luckily, Ha has a plan to get them back.

    Tin Lung Developments and Sin Fung Construction both pan to build new apartments near to Siu Hong’s plot of land and Hong calls everyone together to discuss how to overcome this problem. Ha sees that King is reading the Fung Wan Comics and has a stroke of inspiration saying it is as hard to be good friends as it is to be enemies, just as he says this Hong walks past and hears him. Lai takes up Ha’s suggestion to cooperate with Tin Lung and work together against Sin Fung and this coincides with Hong’s idea and he showers them with praise. Tin Lung send over a representative Marco to discuss the details of the cooperation and Ngoi recognises Marco as her old school friend.

    Wong wants to be unruly towards Sei Leung, and he beats him up until he kneels and begs for mercy. Hong is worried because Tin Lung want to place the cooperation plan on hold, as he leaves the company he runs into a gunfight between the police and some criminals and a bullet flies towards him, Leung pushes him away just in time and she is injured. Hong and his family are grateful to Leung for saving Hong’s life and Tai invites her to their Wedding Anniversary Ball and lends her an outfit. Leung tries on the dress and Ha falls into fits of laughter because she has a T-shirt underneath her backless evening dress. Ngoi and Marco meet up and as he helps a rather drunk Ngoi out of the bar, he is photographed by a reporter.

    No matter how hard you work, you will never earn the praise of Mr Shum, the reason for this must rest with the death of Shun.

Lai and the others sell the mainland stones hard to their first client Mr Cheung and he smoothly agrees to the deal, but states that the delivery must be on time.

    Leung sees everyone pointing at something and is curious, when she sees a magazine that indicates she is Hong’s fourth wife, her expression changes. Tina suspects that Lai has used Leung as a plot to move upward and together with Tai and the others they decide they must get rid of Leung and Ha. Leung sees a paparazzi photographer and wants to beat him up and teach him a lesson, Ha takes the film away and lets him go. Leung asks Ha to help her to clear her name, at first Ha shows that he doesn’t really care, but then he suggests a plan to say that if she shows that she has another partner then the gossip will cease. Lai offers to pretend to be Leung’s real boyfriend and Leung is pleased by this. Lai is openly seen to be leaving work with Leung and takes her to a French Restaurant and going out to see to watch the stars, Leung starts to develop an admiration for him. Ngoi and Ming need to go to an exposition in Milan and need to pass the inspection of the Shenzhen consignment to King and Wah. Ha tells King to ensure that the stone is within the quality standards so that they can produce the goods on time.

    Episode 10 - Ko King resigns out of guilt

    In Shenzhen, Wah drags King out to go and karaoke and puts drugs in his drink. King loses his senses after drinking it and the next days he regrets that he has been unfaithful to Chu. King hurriedly goes to inspect the goods and Wah laughs that time flies for him when he is having fun and says that he has already checked much of the goods on his behalf, King does not suspect anything. King returns to Hong Kong and seems preoccupied, Ha asks him what the matter is, King tells all and Ha feels uneasy. The two go to the warehouse to inspect the goods and find that 90% of it is below standard. On the other hand, Chung and the others celebrate that Lai will be doomed. Hong is horrified to find there is a problem with the stone and Chung takes the chance to put in a bad word, Ha thinks that the most important thing is to solve the problem to prevent the company’s reputation being affected. King does not want to cause trouble for Lai so he resigns with Tina. Ha, Ngoi and Leung find out and say that his is being too rash and that by resigning he is accepting responsibility. Chu finds out that King has been for an AIDS test and tricks him into telling the truth, when Chu finds out that he has been sleeping around, she angrily slaps him before she is dragged home by Ha.

    Ha sees that Wah is enthusiastically betting on the horses and is suspicious, unfortunately Hau gets in first and sacks Wah, Ha can only ask that King is reinstated. Chu kicks King out of the house and Ha can do nothing to help him. Mr Cheung realises that Lai cannot provide him with the goods on time and says that he will be ordering foreign goods from another supplier, Leung scolds him sternly for using the foreigners goods then Ha tells the truth directly as a sign of integrity, Mr Cheung agrees to give them five days and everyone is pleased. Ngoi and Ming brave the wind and rain to go and visit the building site and on the way their tyre bursts, as they change the tyre, they are attacked by an illegal immigrant and he assaults Ngoi, but she is saved by Ming. Ming is taken to hospital and Hong says that Ngoi is powermongering and stubborn, causing harm to other people, Ngoi can only face this accusation. On the anniversary of Shun’s death, Fong tells Ngoi to go along and pay her respects together, but she refuses.

    Episode 11 - Siu Hong and Yat Ngoi overcome their differences

    Leung escorts Hong and Fong to pay respects to Shun and realises that they had another son, Hong grits his teeth and says that it was Ngoi’s obstinacy which led to the death of Shun. Ha unexpectedly receives a CD-ROM which contains much of Hong’s newspaper cuttings and pictures and his thoughts lead him to go and find Hong. When Hong sees these cuttings and pictures, he is shocked. On the beach where Shun met his death, Ngoi has flashbacks of the incident and the tragedy and as she burns her diary, she tells Shun of the happy times she has been through, when Hong and Fing hear this, they are touched. Hong regrets thinking that Ngoi did not care about Shun’s death and therefore giving her undue pressure and the father and daughter finally overcome their differences. Ngoi thanks Ha and Leung for their help and changes her opinion on Ha. Leung sees a magazine on the news stand showing her, Hong and Lai on the cover, saying she has found two good partners, she is very angry and Ha comforts her saying that the innocent will come clean.

    King busily peels the ginger for the ginger-vinegar pot and makes Sweet Soup for Chu to rid her of the womb toxins, but Chu does not accept this and wants to try and remove her wedding ring, all are helpless. Tina and the others see that Hong’s attitude towards Ngoi has changed and has a different opinion on Ha and Leung, so they hurriedly change their plans. Fan hears that Lai is attracted to Leung and is very excited about this, Lai puts in some good words for Leung. Lai uses the excuse that he wants to make it clear to the press and he asks Leung out on a date, then he takes her to a video games arcade. Hong agrees to let Ngoi design the hotel-style interior furnishings to be use with the joint project with Tin Lung and she is overjoyed, but Hau points out that they have already employed the famous designer Kenneth Ma for this task, Hong suggests that they work together on the design. Lai feels that Ngoi’s stance will not be as strong as Kenneth and is afraid her ideas will be not be as good, Ha observes this and has a decision. Ha takes Ngoi to the Peak and takes her through a design thought process, Ngoi benefits greatly from this. Ngoi’s “Garden in the Sky” design is highly praised by Lai, King and the others but when Lai hears that it is Ha who has led her to her inspiration, his heart sinks.

    Episode 12 - Yat Chung and Tina try to tempt Dai Ha

    Ha guesses that Lai received the call from Fei but did not pass the message onto King, making Chu’s misunderstanding even deeper, he is concerned that Lai is prepared to forsake other people for his own success and this is like the fake ally he had in the 8th Earl. Ha uses Kenneth’s designs to test Lai and he shows his other side. Chu and her daughter leave hospital and when she sees King at home, she sends him away, there is nothing anyone can do. Ha sees that Ngoi is very nervous about presenting her designs and he passes her a lucky charm from Tai Shan monastery, Ngoi feels a little better. Ngoi and Kenneth each present their own designs and although she loses to him, she still receives words of praise from Kenneth and she is very happy. Ngoi thanks Ha and returns the charm, then she finds out the reality about the charm (ie it isn’t really a charm after all – just a flyer) and is even more grateful to him.

    Ha sees Lai escorting Leung home tells her to look after herself, Leung angrily points out that he has no right to criticise her, Ha says that she seems to be falling in love with Lai, otherwise she wouldn’t be making dumplings for him, Leung feels uneasy. Leung sees that when Ha is discussing matters with Hong, he exudes a royal aura and this makes her heart beat faster. Chu sees that Leung is very troubled and guesses that she is having trouble choosing between Ha and Lai, she encourages Leung to develop her feelings for Lai, Leung finds Chu’s thoughts of divorce even before marriage very amusing.

    Tina thinks that Lai’s successes are all down to Ha and tells Chung to get him on their side. Ha boldly goes along to this meeting and Tina tempts him to change sides with many benefits, Ha refuses. Hau suggests that they should invest in Mainland real estate and take the company onto the stock market, Hong agrees and Lai feels the distaste. In front of all the secretaries, Tina says that Lai is dependent on Ha to move up and when Lai hears this, his expression drops. Ha feels there is something wrong with Lai and asks about him, Lai questions his decision after the meeting with Chung and Tina and Ha frowns when he hears this.

    Episode 13 - Dai Ha and Yat Lai's relationship officially breaks down

    Lai suggests to Hong to buyout the Shing Sai Tile Factory, Hong agrees to think about this. Leung and Lai go and watch a Martial Arts Show and Leung pretends to be classy and goes hungry. Chu asks about Leung’s date, Leung says she doesn’t seem to have that thumping heart feeling.

    In the big meeting, Lai suggests that they should buyout Shing Sai and use the company shell to float on the stock market, instead of using their own resources to float, Hau sees that Hong is prepared to contemplate this and is put out. Ha questions Lai about the takeover incident and Lai says that this is confidential and top secret, Ha reaises that Lai no longer trusts him. Kenneth says that Hau is short sighted and points out that the process of floating is not important, but the networking with the real estate companies in the mainland is the key to moving up in the world. Ha and Ngoi study Shing Sai’s annual reports and find that there is a problem with an insurance claim, they check this with Marco who used to work for Shing Sai. Ha instructs Ngoi to bring this to Lai’s attention, but not to tell him this is his intention, otherwise they would have a negative reaction. Ngoi tells Lai about this and Lai turns on her, saying that the reason Ha wants to get near to her is to get on with his power and career, the two fall out.

    Hong and the others arrive at Shing Sai’s factory in the mainland to look around and say that the price is too high, the boss of Shing Sai, Mr Ho’s heart drops together with Lai’s, but Ha can see through Hong’s advancement through withdrawal plan. Ha and Ngoi wait for Marco’s investigation in the hotel and find out that Shing Sai have been doctoring their accounts, they tell Lai and he questions Ha’s motives. Hong sees the report and cancels the takeover plans, Lai’s hatred for Ha grows even stronger. Ha resigns, but Ngoi strongly urges him to stay, but he refuses, saying that he is on a different path and goal from Lai.

    Episode 19 - Neither Sei Leung nor Yat Ngoi can let go of Dai Ha

    Lai and Chun announce that they own 33% of the shares in Siu Hong and are deciding to change the chairman of the board, with Lai taking over, this makes Ha furious. Ha packs up his personal items in preparation to leave Siu Hong, Lai takes the chance to add his comments, but Ha suggests that he will not admit defeat. Ha suspects that Lai’s power in using Wang Tat to strike at Siu Hong is not as great as it seems and together with Ngoi and Hong, they go to Wang Tat to find Tung, but on many occasions they are refused a meeting. Ha knows that Tung is an antique fanatic and thinks of an idea to turn things around. Leung goes to the antiques shop to try and sell an edict from Yongzheng and this this attracts Tung’s attention so that he deliberately contacts Ha. Ha and the others tell Tung of the disadvantages of allowing Lai to be the chairman, but Tung is not moved at all, Hong and Ngoi are very disheartened, but Ha reckons that there is still a glimmer of hope. As Lai and Chun are interviewed by journalists, Hong and the others appear and say that they have come to regain the Chairman’s position, the two are shocked. They all go to Sei Bo to celebrate Hong getting back his company and Hong takes the opportunity to bring Ha and Ngoi back together, when Leung sees this she is not very happy.

    Fong tells Lai to apologise to Hong but Lai angrily refuses. Lai instinctively goes to Sei Bo to look for Leung and meets Yeung and his assistant Woo Hung, then without a word he gets into a fight with Hung, luckily Leung sees this and steps in to rescue him. On one hand, Leung helps Lai to rub in some ointment on his wounds, and on the other hand she urges him to change his ways and tells him of how she and Ha have been fighting for over two hundred years and are still in a mess, Lai doesn’t understand then he asks her if she will accept him again, Leung refuses. Disheartened, Lai gets drunk and thinking of the words of Leung and Yeung he comes to a decision. Mr Cheung persuades Leung to go to Shanghai to take part in a Food Court project, but Leung is a little hesitant. At this time, Ngoi comes to look for Leung and admits she will not let go of Ha, Leung reckons the wishes of Ha are more important. An old man asks for directions from Ha and then tells Lai that Ha is not his real identity.
