Kwan Tin Yam (Eddie Cheung) is the second son of a rich family in the village. Lau Ah Choi (Kathy Chow) is the servant in this family. Fong Shu Gan (Gallen Law) and his father are tenant farmers for Tin Yam's family. After Tin Yam returns from the city from studying medicine, his attraction for Ah Choi grows stronger than before and she too is also in love with him. However, Tin Yam's family objects to the relationship between these two because she is a servant. When they decide to elope, they end up getting caught. During the chase, Ah Choi falls into the river and Tin Yam believes that she has drowned to death, so he returns to the city heart-broken. He does not know that Ah Choi is saved by Shu Gan's family. To prevent further problems, Tin Yam's family forces Ah Choi to marry Shu Gan. Because they are both servants they do not have any right to voice up or object. Things become even more complicated from that point onward...
