Another classic love story between a talented poet and a beauty. Leung (Law Kim-long) and Yeung (Tang Bik-wan) pledged to get married without their parents' permission after a series of romantic conversations through letters. However, the lovers are later separated due to a forced marriage and some misunderstandings, followed by the imperial examination and the war. Yet, the film offers a happy finale with the pair being reconciled with each other, much to the audience's delight. Among the numerous male stars Tang Bik-wan has partnered with during the golden era of Cantonese films, Law was her most frequent co-star and the two had collaborated in more than 60 films. This film would provide a perfect reminiscence of this on-screen couple well loved by their fans.
