Tina Ho is an overweight woman who is determined to find the person who is right for her; a soulmate. She is an Hieress, her father owns many hotels in the Philippines. Her dad is scared, since he always spoiled her that she won't be able to live in the real world. Her father is always finding men from all over the place and trying to get her married. Tina wants to find someone who thinks the same way she does and whom she can communicate with. She placed yellow handprints under a panting of the sun setting, if that ONE man knew those handprints were a Sunflower; he's her soulmate. She flees to Hong Kong to get away from her frustrating father. There, she meets up with her cousin, Kwok Bo Lok. Lok is a player when it comes to relationships. She is very pretty and has many boyfriends. She says she wants to marry by the age of 25 and the man she is to marry has to be rich.
Tina meets a fashion designer named Daniel. She gives him a nickname as "Dai Sei Hei". She works for his company D-Day but her designs are horrible. At first Daniel hates Tina, but he learns to accept her a little bit after seeing how much she has to struggle in Hong Kong. She has helped him quite a bit also, emotionally.
Upon the decision of firing her (due to her lack of designing skills), Daniel begins treating her much nicer. However, Tina uses him to trick her father. On a misunderstanding (everyone thought Tina had lost her virginity to her boss), her father traveled all the way to Hong Kong. With the help of her mother figure in Hong Kong, they devise a meeting between Tina's father and Daniel. With verbal interruptions, they prevented either of them from discovering the truth, temporarily. Tina's father, however, sees Daniel with his actual girlfriend - whom he introduced - and decides to take action against her daughters 'two-timing boyfriend'. One thing leads to the next and Daniel, comprehending what had happened, becomes very angry. Daniel's girlfriend, Rachel, finds out what happened and takes it the wrong way. However, Daniel fires Tina and insults her harshly, then tells Rachel that he has nothing to do with her. Tina is very upset and goes back home in The Philippines.
When Rachel goes to Philippines for a business trip, Daniel wants to give her a surprise and goes to visit her. He goes to a jewelry shop to buy a Rachel a present when he meets Tina's fiancé. While talking, they both get hit by a car. Tina's fiancé falls into a coma, while Daniel loses his memory. Tina decides to use this to her advantage and get revenge on Daniel for all the awful things he has done to her. First, she decides to fatten him up (because she knows how much he hates fat people), and then makes him fall in love with her. She plans to break up with him and break his heart. However, Tina found herself falling for him too!
Tina ends up deciding to give him back to Rachel explaining what happened. But Daniel regained his memory by himself and when he found Rachel, Tina was [rudly] insulted yet once again and was left heartbroken. Daniel, who was on the plane back to Hong Kong with Rachel, suddenly remembers all the things that Tina did with him and the time they spent together. Tina blows off the wedding with her Fiance, because he doesn't love him.... she loves Daniel & she couldn't lie to Kenneth again. Kenneth is outraged, than goes off and marries some random girl. She has to be fat like Tina, needs to cry during weddings, and has a bubbly personality. Than he settles for Lok, and leaves her at the alter.
Daniel finally realizes that he has to be with Tina, and dumps Rachael. Her ONLY request is that he gives up the Fat Clothes Line..... which he denied. He completes the clothing line than gives his portion of the company to Rachael, cause she deserves it. He finds Tina and they get married, only interrupted by Kenneth. Daniel answers ALL of his trivia questions & they happily get married. Daniel even threw her up in the end, saying shes not fat* she should never lose weight.
