Chow Ming Hin (Damian Lau) single-handedly builds his family shipping business into a successful enterprise despite other family members whom are either corrupt or incompetent. His son Chow Tin Ci (Julian Cheung) is earmarked as his successor, he is a spoiled brat who enjoys playing pranks on others, in particular Ho Seung Hei (Charmaine Sheh). Ng Yuk Hing (Angie Chiu) is both Chow Ming Hin's right-hand-man in business and love of his life, even though he is married. Eventually he marries her as a second wife, arousing much jealousy from his first wife Lee De Yung (Lui San).
On Chow Ming Hin's death, the firm is left in the hands of Ng Yuk Hing, Chow not trusting his son's ability to run the business. She has to fend off both Lee's increasing bitterness towards her as well as the avarice of Tin Ci's uncles. Their feuding leads to Tin Ci and Seung Hei falling in love with each other, but it does not last long due to their differences in status, a point which Julian's family drive home as they conspire to force Seung Hei out.
Tin Ci is gutted by the breakup, and Yuk Hing tries her best to make him focus on taking over the shipping business to not much avail. Loh Bik Kei (Belinda Hamnett) plays his childhood friend who falls in love with him, but is unable to win his love. She is secretly happy that Seung Hei has gotten a new boyfriend, but no matter how hard she tells Tin Ci to give up, he refuses to. Even when Seung Hei marries, Julian's heart remains hers.
Subsequently, the shipping business runs into trouble when Ng Yuk Hing is forced to take care of her newborn child and has to leave the business to her brother and Tin Ci's uncles. Foreseeing the firm's bankruptcy, she claims her entitlement under Chow Ming Hin's will, but incurs the wrath of all.

Bik Kei dissuades him, but in doing so, gets knocked down by a car when Julian rushes across a road and she pushes him away. She is paralyzed for life and Tin Ci promises to take care of her.
