Orphaned at a young age and widowed on her first day of marriage, Ah Chen comes to rely on no one but herself. As she begins living with her good friend, she falls in love with her friend’s moody brother, Chan Chi-chiu after a rocky start to their relationship. Initially supportive of the match, Chan’s overprotective and superstitious mother forces the couple to separate when she is led to believe that Ah Chen is a jinx to anyone she marries.
