Synopsis: Chong Fung Yi (Liza Wang) abandoned her eldest son immediately after he was born because she didn't want to be labeled as the woman who gave birth before she was even married. However, her son Hing (Joe Ma) manages to find his way back to her. Due to reputation purposes, she doesn't tell anybody about his true identity. Her younger son, Cheuk Wah (Raymond Wong) falls in love with Yip Heung Ching (Charmaine Sheh) but because their different status' and Fung Yi's objection, they cannot be together. However, soon enough, Heung Ching and Hing find themselves more than just friends... what obstacles will await them this time?


Review: Even with Liza heading the series, it wasn't that great. Being a period romance, I didn't feel the romance. Wasn't much fireworks from Charmaine or Joe's characters. All the bad things that Joe did and Charmaine was able to forgive him because he did it for his family.
