The drama follows a love story which spans three lifetimes, from Song dynasty in the 13th Century (Ep 1-13) to Hong Kong in the 1950s (Ep 13-30) and to modern Hong Kong (modern era, Ep 1, 30-31).[1] It is the first on-screen pairing of Au-yeung and Kwan in ten years,[2] with Kwan not frequently acting due to the personal implication of taking care of her daughter.[3]
During an operation, CIB officer, Circle Yuen (Bobby Au Yeung) accidentally kills his girlfriend, Phoenix Yeung (Esther Kwan). In his remorse, he finds himself mysteriously sent back in time to the Song Dynasty, where he is known as the imperial official Bao Zheng. He meets Han Sheung-Sheung (Esther Kwan), who looks exactly like Phoenix; despite Sheung-Sheung's reservations, they fall in love and agree to marry. However, Sheung-Sheung's childhood friend and adoptive brother, Ko Yiu-On (Ben Wong), out of ambition and jealousy that Sheung-Sheung refuses to marry him, forces her into casting a curse upon herself that she will always be killed by the man she loves. Soon afterward, Yiu-On orchestrates a situation where Bao Zheng is forced into executing Sheung-Sheung.
When time shifts into the 1950s, Circle becomes Inspector Wah Lung-Piew and meets Tin Chau-Fung (Esther Kwan), the leader of a triad group who resembles Sheung-Sheung and Phoenix. However, their relationship inhibited by the fact that Chau-Fung mistakenly believes the inspector as her husband's murderer and has ordered a citywide chase for his head. While desperately trying to prove his innocence as Lung-Piew, he meets Lam Yim-Fong (Rebecca Zhu) and Yuen Kwai (Pierre Ngo), who will become Circle's parents, but is dismayed to find Yim-Fong falling in love with him as he tries to learn why his mother abruptly left his family. When fate intervenes and Lung-Piew accidentally kills Chau-Fung again, the cycle of her curse is finally broken and Circle returns to modern day Hong Kong where he is given a second chance to change his and Phoenix's fates.
