In order not to upset San, Ban sends his sister Ching (Nicola Cheung) to be Chun's tutor. Ching is known as a strict teacher and makes Chun suffer, but in order to get some master skills, Chun pretends to date Ching.

Meanwhile, San and Ban are woven into a couple by Chun. Just as Chun believes that his love life and family life are going well, he loses badly in a bout with his friend and sparring buddie Leung (Hawick Lau); and bad luck doesn't come alone as Ching finds out the reason he is dating her and leaves him for Leung. At this time Chun realises that he really has fallen for Ching. Also, as San and Ban's feelings grow stronger by the day, Ban's personality suddenly changes and wants to split up with her. What secret is Ban hiding? Will Chun finally win the heart of Ching again?
