In some faraway place, the Laws and the Chuks are two big families that have been foes for a century as they can never stand each other. In a chance encounter, the Law Family's fourth son Law Mak-au falls head over heels in love with Chu Lai-yip, who is the younger cousin sister of the Chuk Family's matriarch Chuk Ying-kiu. Lai-yip already has a finacé. If her marriage eventually falls through, Ying-kiu's status as the chair will be affected. However, due to some past event about herself, Ying-kiu resolutely decides to let Lai-yip make her own choice, sowing the seeds of a duel between the two families. In the meantime, Leung Shan-pak adopts Max Ton as his name and lives in Hoi Pak City, which is the Law Family's territory.
