Chung Ka-po, Lam Siu-mei and Lee Ching-yee are sisterly buddies. Due to different reasons after graduation, the trio gradually go their separate ways. Ka-po is arbitrarily nominated by Siu-mei to participate in a school beauty contest organized by some magazine. Ka-po is eventually the unchallenged winner, and the Golden Agent Wing Yat-yin then convinces her to join his agency. Yat-yin encourages Ka-po to sign up for the Miss Hong Kong Pageant. However, Chung Ka-kei, who is Ka-po's fellow contestant and also younger stepsister, frames her. And then Ka-po manages to enter showbiz, which is more like a "battlefield". She also befriends Pong Chun-yu, who is the son of some tycoon. After the couple get married, Ka-po finds herself in another "battlefield" that is the domain of some distinguished family.
