After a radical change in life, Sze Sai-lun becomes dispirited with the political world and spends most of his time travelling around in search of fun. Along the way, he meets a spirit medium, Ng Kwan-yau, who somehow gets caught up in a mysterious murder case. With fortuitous assistance from the pillow spirit Ngau Tai-lik, he is able to crack the case and prove Kwan-yau’s innocence. Sai-lun has his confidence back and pledges to continue his fight for justice. As time progresses, Sai-lun and Kwan-yau get to know each other better and gradually fall in love. Sai-lun finally decides to get over the past and marry the girl. He enjoys his married life so much but gets frustrated at work sometimes - Tai-lik’s power turns out not to be as strong as expected, which ends up with a lot of misleading clues being given. Amidst the various challenges of his new life, Sai-lun realizes that Kwan-yau seems to have something to hide and that there is a malicious plot behind their marriage. Knowing that the couple have fallen out, Sai-lun’s mother has found him a new wife, Luk Siu-tip. Out of the blue, Siu-tip has also come with ill intentions. Sai-lun is plunged into a complex web of intrigue and things seem to be getting on top of him…^[1]
