Yu Suk-foon (Leung San) was widowed at a young age and gave birth to a daughter, Yam Oi-wah (Carol Cheng). After the death of her husband, Suk-foon concentrated on developing a fashion company and became a leading figure in the fashion industry. When Oi-wah was ten years old, Suk-foon remarried to police superintendent Hong Sai-hung (Lau Dan), which discontents her father and daughter.

Fortunately, Oi-wah wss able to find comfort in her boyfriend Yu Pak-Tuen (Alan Tam), who is a police officer. Suk-foon's business rival, Leung Pui-yee (Liza Wang) strikes a blow to her by hiring Oi-wah while at the bottom of her career, to compete with Suk-foon's company. At this time, To Yat-tin (Patrick Tse), former mastermind of a drug cartel, diverts his profession as a fashion company manager. To admires Pui-yee's enthusiasm and decides to lure Pui-yee in to joining his company, making Pui-yee and Oi-wah competitors in the fashion industry.
At this stage, not only has Oi-wah been emerging in the fashion industry, her relationship with Pak-sui also matures and they announce their marriage. Pak-sui's superior Hong, while an honest man on the surface, is actually a corrupt officer who colludes with drug traffickers. Hong also suspects Pak-sui to be undercover working for the ICAC. Just days before Oi-wah and Pak-Tuen wedding, the latter was killed suddenly. Oi-wah believes her fiance was murdered, and therefore collaborates with Pak-Tuen's good friend, lawyer Wai Ching-lap (Adam Cheng), launching a series unraveling investigations, and eventually uncovering the unexpected culprit.
