Filming start mid December 2005
30 episodes 4 different storyline starting from Qing Dynasty to Modern time. Cast: Charmaine Sheh Joe Ma Sammul Chan Sherming Yiu Evergreen Mak Kiki Sheung Wu Fung, Chan San Chung Cheung Chi Kwong Annabelle Lau Hiu Tong Maria Chan etc... Synopsis: Women's perspective has sympathy Men's perspective is clear after soberness A hundred years of relationships between two sexes face observation One family's business passes through four generations of women and their destinies, reflecting the marital relationships of different eras; women face all kinds of pressure. At the end of the Qing dynasty, Ngai Ju Fung's (Charmaine Sheh) family fortune is on the decline. She has no choice but to marry Wong Yuk Lun (Sammul Chan). However, he ruins his family's business. Fung is forced to sell the gift that her first love, Yue Chi (Joe Ma), gave her in order to open The Phoenix ("Fung Wong Lau"). Her story reflects the pain and sorrow of arranged marriages and shows how women can firmly face and resolve great oppositions. During the May 4th (1919) event, Fung's daughter, Wong Jee Gwan (Charmaine) falls for her teacher, Li Gat Cheung (Joe) and they plan to elope in Tianjin. However, the two end up parting. Gwan returns to Beijing to bring up The Phoenix. Her story reflects the strives that women make for marital freedom, ending up fending for themselves. In the 1960's, Fung's great-granddaughter, Bak Wai Jan (Charmaine) works in secret, unbeknownst to her husband, Dai Lap Yan (Joe). Out of retaliation, Yan has an affair. Their marriage comes to an end. However, this brings the two to work hand-in-hand for the better of The Phoenix. Her story reflects how women's fight for equality ends up with an interesting outcome. In the twenty-first century, Fung's great-great-granddaughter, Dai Sze Ga (Charmaine) and Fong Ga On (Joe) end their cohabitation because they don't want to be restrained. After the separation, Ga takes hold of her family's long-time business and adds a new branch to it, extending its longevity. Her story reflects the freedom that women have gained at the expense of losing life's focus.

They always try new things and new pairings. Maybe next Charmaine might pair up with Adam. You'd never know what to expect from TVB. This series looks interesting enough to keep me posting. I guess I'll check back later to see if you guys got any new news on it.
