Cheung Tong Sang (Wu Fung), a famous herbalist, gave his business to his son, Wai Onn (Kou Hung) after his wife died. Unfortunately, Wai Onn kept urging people to buy these pills, not knowing that not everyone could eat them so many people got sick, and some even landed in hospital. Cheung Yee Fai (Roger Kowk), Wai Onn's son, worked in another famous herbalist company, and this is were love comes in. Ah Bee (Charmaine Sheh), daughter of his rich boss, is hired as his secretary and at first, Yee Fai did not like her at all, thinking she was incompetent, but later on, they fall in love.
Although Ah Bee's father is very rich, she didn't want anyone to know about that, as well as not wanting to rely on his wealth. When Yee Fai found out about her father, he was pretty angry about it, thinking that she was spying on him. He went off to Shanghai to work and to find an old friend of his grandfather's. Ah Bee found out about this and decided to follow him, to help out. Yee Fai then meets Wai Yat Siew (Derek Lee) and his friend, a female herbalist, Sum Yuet (Melissa Ng).
Soon enough, Fai and Yat Siew become good buddies, so of course, it was only natural that good, kind, Yat Siew volunteered to search for Yee Fai's grandfather's old friend. But little did he know that Tong Sang's old friend was actually his mother!! Well, he did find that out, from overhearing a conversation Sum Yuet had with his mother, so he begged them to let him go back to Hong Kong with Yee Fai to meet his father. At first, his mother would NOT let, but Sum Yuet helped convince her, saying she had to go to Hong Kong with her dad as well.
In the end, Yat Siew ended up staying at Fai's house and everyone liked him a lot. Except for Wai Onn, who was very suspicious of him--once he even accused him of coming to Hong Kong to hurt his family! Well, Yat Siew's mother knew about this and couldn't take it, so she, Sum Yuet and Yat Siew flew back to Shanghai.
Soon on, Fai's irresponsible sister, ended up owing $200,000 to back her gambling fees, so Ah Bee used her dad's money to pay it off, even though Yee Fai did not want her to do that. Ah Bee's father hated Yee Fai, thinking that Yee Fai is not rich enough for his daughter and that Yee Fai only wanted Ah Bee for her money, so Ah Bee and Yee Fai decided to "pretend" they've split up, but haven't really. Later on, when they went back to Shanghai, they agreed to really split up, and to meet back a year later. This is so that Yee Fai can go and study chinese medicine while Ah Bee can go and study fashion design in Milan. But before that, Yee Fai's sister asked Ah Bee if she could borrow $40,000 to pay back the money she borrowed when gambling, and since she was Yee Fai's sister, she let her.
Well, Yee Fai stayed in Shanghai to study chinese medicine, like I said, and he ended up falling for Sum Yuet. In Milan, Ah Bee married this rich guy called James, to save her dad's company. And Yat Siew also fell for someone, Kau Kau (Eileen Yeow) to be exact. Their "dates" were very interesting, funny and cute as Kau Kau was exactly the opposite of Yat Siew. But later on, she flew off, leaving him wondering what on earth was that about.
After Yee Fai finished his herbalist course, he flew back to Hong Kong and discovered Ah Bee and James were together, so he was very happy for them. Unfortunately, James was a very jealous person, so whenever he saw Ah Bee and Fai together, he thought they were back together again. So to clear up his head, he always went to pubs and to drink and started cheating on Ah Bee with an old girlfriend of his, Anna.
Ah Bee found out she was pregnant just before James started cheating on her, so when she saw Anna and James together, kissing and giggling, it was no wonder she fainted. Once she was in hospital, and woken up, she cried and told Yee Fai about James and Anna. How unhappy she was. And then the doctor just have to come along and tell her that she has stomach cancer, and would have to go to Shanghai to get the best medical attention possible, so Ah Bee and Fai went together.
Sum Yuet was not happy to see Yee Fai spending so much time with Ah Bee, but she kept it all inside, until Ah Bee came to her and told her that Fai loved her, not Sum Yuet, and told her to back off. The reason Ah Bee was so mean is because in order to treat her stomach cancer, she would have to lose the baby, which she so wanted not to do. She even tried to jump off a bridge because she had lost her baby (look below), but Yee Fai saved her just in time.
Well in the end, Ah Bee and Sum Yuet became good friends, after Ah Bee came to her senses, and she said she'd "give" Yee Fai to Sum Yuet jokingly. And oh yeah, about Yat Siew. Well, Kau Kau came back, saying she was pregnant with his baby, but that wasn't true, because the baby was hers with some gangster. She only said that to Yat Siew to get money off him. But soon enough, she fell in love with him. Yat Siew's dad found out about Kau Kau and the gangster, but couldn't prove it to Yat Siew until one day, at the airport, Yat Siew saw Kau Kau and the gangster hugging and kissing, and he was extremely upset, but forgave her, once she came crawling back. But the others weren't so easy to please. In Yat Siew's mother's restaurant, the gangster came back, trying to kill Kau Kau, but Kau Kau accidentally fell when he tried to chop her and she knocked Ah Bee into the edge of a table and that was how Ah Bee lost her baby. But things sorted out and everyone soon accepted Kau Kau, so she and Yat Siew got married and had her baby, even though it wasn't his. |
