[edit] Plot Synopsis
Love the country? Betray it? Is an enemy? A friend?
In a turbulent situation, it’s hard to guess how people really think!
In 1937, Manchuria was occupied by Japanese forces. Koo Ping On (Myolie Wu) and a brother-like Tin Hau Yi (Ron Ng) brought their sick mother to Nanjing in order to find Koo Maan Chuen (Lau Daan), who owned the biggest rice company there, to stay at his place, yet they are segregated.
Various events went wrong and Nanjing fell to the Japanese. On (Myolie) was shocked to find out Yi (Ron), with whom she grew up, was actually the son of the Japanese military officer, Chung Tin Ai (Sek Sau)! And she also discovered Yi (Ron), who she considered as a fiancé, was actually in love with Tsang Yuet Fung (Leila Tong), who was the fourth wife of her father. But eventually Fung (Leila Tong) fell in love with Yi (Ron).
Afterwards, Poon Sai Cheung (Sunny Chan), who helped the Japanese, “bought” On (Myolie), who did not agree with it at all. In the end, she unexpectedly fell in love with this man person whom she had first hated with a passion and believed to be a traitor…
The background of the plot was set in Nanjing during World War II, and the characters live through the infamous Rape of Nanjing.
