HEI TAP LAP SEUK LAN (WANG MING CHUN, LIZA) was born into royalty. Being a princess, she has had the privilege of being tyrannical and unreasonable for more than 40 years. Her son NING MAU CHUN (WONG CHUNG CHAK, BOSCO) reaches the age of marriage. She kidnaps the best girl she can find in the capital for him. Unfortunately, CHUN eventually gets married to a mountain tyrant’s daughter TIN LIK (WU, MYOLIE).

LAN constantly tries to pick bones with LIK. However, LIK is not exactly gentle and obedient. They are reluctant to adjust to each other. CHUN, who is weak and indecisive, is caught in the middle.

Everything is just pretence. CHUN is in reality very good at martial arts. He keeps his prowess a secret for an important mission.
