A young Yixin watches her father get stabbed to death in a park by a teen delinquent Jiansheng (Thomas Ong) who is later sentenced to 17 years in jail. Psychologically scarred by the memory of her father's death, Yixin (Fann Wong) grows up bitter and vengeful, even though she appears docile and sweet outwardly.
