By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the beauty and kind hearted of FOU has been widely spread all over the region. FOU has successfully obtained the support and cherish from public, whilst she is also the fiance of YUEN ZHOU, who rules a province in Hopei. One day, FOU encounters the General of CAO CAO named HA HOU YUEN. Luckily, she deceives as the cousin of CAO’s concubine, PAN and gets rid of danger with her wisdom. FOU meets a young lady named KWOK HUANG, who is forced to marry TUNG TEE HOU as concubine. FOU feels pity for HUANG, so she uses her intelligence and rescues HUANG also. CAO CAO has three sons, PEI, CHEUNG and ZHI. The attributes and characters of them are different but all of them are talented. YUEN presents the gift of FOU to CAO and PAN; meanwhile, it recalls the memory of CAO on the beauty of FOU and her curing method to headache……

PEI wins the battle but just when he waves his sword towards FOU, her beauty stuns him. Meanwhile, CAO also arrives and halts the execution. CAO arranges FOU and her family to accommodate at the house of SI HUNG FU and treats them as prestige guests. The next day, ZHI and HUANG come back with their exhausted bodies. When FOU sees HUANG, she bursts into tears with comfort and release; yet, ZHI finds that FOU is a compassionate and charming lady. He asks FOU to meet him at that night. At night, FOU is accompanied with her maid, YAU SIN and wait for ZHI at the garden with an anxious heart. Suddenly, there is a lightship drifting along the pool and carries with poems on its screen. ZHI shows up and names the poems according to the beauty of FOU. FOU is surprised with grace. PAN has a cousin named TSUI, who is shrew and reckless; however, she gains the favour of PAN. One night, PEI has a strange dream……

The pose of PEI has caused the misunderstanding of ZHI and CAO. In fact, he is trying to kill the snake behind FOU and has no intention to harm her. However, CAO is angry with PEI and orders to protect FOU and her family against any harm. The misunderstanding between ZHI and PEI is solved and their relationship makes up again. One day, PEI goes to picnic with his soul mate, YUEN YUEN; however, the arrogant of YUEN annoys PEI very much. Meanwhile, ZHI and FOU arrive also. The generous and elegant gesture of FOU acts as a contrast to YUEN and PEI is attracted to FOU immediately. TSUI breaks the jade pendant of HUANG purposely, which is the legacy of her mother. HUANG bears the ill will at heart. CAO has a headache, so he uses the curing method that FOU taught him. During the medical treatment, he begins to recall the memory of FOU eventually. His obsession on FOU lays the slaughter of PAN later……

Due to jealousy and hatred, PAN beats FOU and HUANG severely. Her act arises the attention of Madam YUE, who is also the concubine of CAO. Though YUE saves FOU and HUANG, HUANG is seriously injured due to her protection on FOU. FOU feels grateful and asks HUANG to be her sworn sister. Apart, CAO and his sons are honoured and rewarded by the King because the King is actually frightened by the power of CAO. Despite the torture, FOU goes to the temple at the mountaintop to pray for PAN. She meets ZHI on her way and they carry on the trip together. They spend a night at the hilltop and have an overnight conversation pleasantly. Dawn comes; ZHI helps FOU to strike the bell in the temple. After hearing the bell rang in the temple, TSUI tends to take the credit from PAN. However, her plan fails with the proof from ZHI. PEI and others blame TSUI then. She feels embarrass and hates FOU even more……

FOU holds the pearl hairpin that PEI gave her. She recalls everything on PEI and realises his motion finally. But FOU comes into a dilemma when she has to choose between PEI and ZHI. She finds both of them are true and passionately in love with her. Besides, FOU’s brother, YEN is delayed to deliver a military document due to his laziness. He requests FOU to help him in front of CAO but is rejected by FOU firmly. CAO rebukes YUE for her arrangement and he regrets for threatening and offences FOU. During breakfast, PEI intends to toast with CAO but is rejected. CAO gives out a military order instead; he orders to impose military punishment on his soldiers whoever commits crime when drunk. Nevertheless, PEI also warns TSUI not to do harm on FOU. His order threats TSUI with anger. The uncertainty distances the relationship between FOU and ZHI. FOU avoids seeing ZHI because of the love of PEI. Hence, ZHI shares his sadness with HUANG……
