    Default Episode 1- Duk Sum vows the Avenge his son's Death

    The well- known Chow family in Guangzhou with Ming Hin as the head of the family runs the Kwong Wan Ship Company. Ming Hin's Father (Chow Mau) is having a 3 day banquet in celebration of his 70th birthday. Ming Hin gives orders to the family and servants to be polite and hospitable to the guests. His only son Tin Chi is spoiled by the entire family. Every evening, he would go out to play around and he gets a scolding from his father. On this particular day, as Ming Hin gives orders to his family on this important occasion, Tin Chi falls asleep. Fortunately, the servants help him hide the fact that he was out for the night.

    Ming Hin is very careful about the preparations and makes sure everything is perfect for the banquet. He is very strict to his uncles. Tin Chi trips on a wooden fence that Uncle Dong is supposed to be in charge of. Ming Fung (Ming Hin's sister) is suspicious about the poor work on the fence.

    Ming Hin's wife Yung is extremely jealous of Ng Yuk Hing, who is a Ming Hin's assistant. Hing is a loyal servant of the Chow family and everything she does is for the Chow family. Yung buys a little girl servant (Siu Guk) and scorns Yuk Hing about how she was merely a low servant like Siu Guk before she became Ming Hin's favourite. Ming Hin defends Yuk Hing and is very angry with Yung. Yung shows her jealousy toward Hing.

    During the preparations, Hing finds that she and Siu Guk are very similar in terms of their backgrounds and she shows her kindness to Siu Guk by giving her soda water.

    During the banquet, Yung's brother- Duk Sum arrives with his wife and son (Sau Jai) to celebrate Mau's birthday. Siu Guk is in charge of entertaining the youngsters at the banquet. While Siu Guk plays with them, Uncle Dong joins in with the games. Because of Uncle Dong's negligence to the sturdiness of the fence, it collapses under the weight of the children.

    The children tumble into the pond. All the children are saved. Duk Sum finds that Sau Jai is missing and he is found at the edge of the pond. By the time the rescue crew saves him, he is dead. Uncle Dong blames it on Siu Guk, who is terrified. Duk Sum runs around with a gun, trying to find Siu Guk to the fear of the Chow family. Duk Sum vows to avenge his son's death by killing Siu Guk.

    Default Episode 2- Ming Hin Uses his Power to Save Siu Guk

    Ming Hin's third uncle (Cheung), Uncle Dong, Ming Fung and Ming Fai (Ming Hin's cousin) anxiously try to calm Duk Sum. When Ming Hin arrives from the banquet to prevent the chaos from breaking out in the banquet, he promises Duk Sum that he will settle with him the issue of his son's death. Hing runs around in search of Siu Guk and finds that she is about to poison herself. Hing saves her and promises that she will save her. Yung catches Siu Guk and Hing running away to hide and grabs them, trying to bring them to her brother. Duk Sum is finally calm again but as soon as he sees Siu Guk, his rage comes back. In the rush of the moment, Hing runs and hides with Siu Guk in her room and locks the door. Duk Sum, Cheung, Uncle Dong, Ming Fung and Ming Fai wait outside the door. Duk Sum deperately trying to get the door open and the others holding him back.

    Ming Hin arrives from the lighting ceremony (as Chow became the first family in Guangzhou to have electric lights). Ming Hin unlocks the door to the room allowing Duk Sum with the gun to go in. Hing puts her life on the line as she put herself between Siu Guk and the gun pointing to her. Ming Hin puts himself between Hing and Duk Sum. Everyone tells Duk Sum to calm down and just as he is about to lower his gun, Cheung and Uncle Dong makes a remark that boils his blood again, causing him to try to kill Siu Guk. Ming Hin tells everyone that he has an important anoucement to make and tells Duk Sum to kindly lower the weapon. When he gets to the living room, he declares to the public in the party that Siu Guk is now his god- daughter. The mayor of the town , unaware of anything that happened, promises to keep her safe from any harm. Duk Sum leaves in an angry rage. Ming Hin and Hing hurry to send Siu GUk off away from the Chow family, so that Duk Sum cannot harm her. Hing buys soda water for Siu Guk as she departs, showing how caring she is.

    Tin Chi is one of the biggest bullies of the school and everyone is scared of him and his two sidekicks because all three are from rich families. They do not care about learning, they only want to spend their time playing around. Tin Chi decides to make a joke out of Kong Ka Lai, who is Seung Hay's good friend. Ka Lai is so afraid of Tin Chi that she decides not to return to school. Seung Hay sees this and decides to stick up for her friend and slightly embarrasses Tin Chi at school. Tin Chi is displeased and plots to take revenge by playing pranks her Seung Hay.

    Cheung hears news that Hin is not feeling well, and sneers, laughing evil. Ming Hin yells at him for not doing anything productive. Cheung, angry from the heated arguement makes everyone think that Ming Hin thinks they are useless. He makes up stories and tries to widen the gap between the workers and Ming Hin. Everybody feels upset that Ming Hin would say that about them. Yung hears this and in her jealous thinks that Yuk Hing is behind all this.

    Later that night, Ming Hin finds that Tin Chi has once again went out to play at night. He discoverss from Seung Hay (who is out with her family picking up dung) that Tin Chi bullies everyone at school and hears of the michief that Tin Chi and his sidekicks have been in.
