Based on the story of political strategist Su Qin during the Warring States period, Tang Bik-wan played Su's wife who is, as opposed to true history, supportive of her husband. Su Qin (Ho Fei-fan) is an academic lacking in business acumen, hence looked down by his parents and sister-in-law (Tam Lan-hing). He later travels to the state of Qin to persuade the king to conquer the other six states, but is ridiculed. Unable to bear his family's disses, Su leaves home to stay at an abandoned temple. To encourage him, his wife disguises as an ugly, scornful woman to visit him. Later Su manages to persuade the six states to form the Vertical Alliance against Qin and is made Prime Minister. When he returns to home in glory, he finally discovers that the ugly woman is his wife. The performance of the main cast was a tour de force. Ho Fei-fan proved himself a great showman as he successfully captures Su's transformation from an insecure scholar into a proud statesman while Tang gave a vivid portrayal of the good wife who tries every possible means to support her husband.
