This Hong Kong drama parallels the stories of two young couples, splicing them with dream sequences and a framing story set at a coffee bar where friends have gathered to talk. Their first topic is the strange love affair between tough-guy Rong and poor Min. The two come together after he saves her from loss of face when she is unable to pay her cab fare one night. But she is a girl with secrets. When her father suddenly dies, Rong learns that she is wealthy, and, ever chivalrous, Rong vows to care for her as both a father and a husband. A wedding ensues, but after a three-day honeymoon, Min mysteriously disappears. The coffee shop crowd then launches into the story of Youge, a secretary who falls in love with her already married boss. Her troubles begin when she discovers herself pregnant.
