Adapted from the tentpole production of the Golden Phoenix Opera Troupe, the setting is changed from a war-torn era in historical times to the early Republican period, when the nation is ravaged by warlords, with Fong Yim-fun playing a blind orphan girl. Fong is teamed with two of the biggest names in Cantonese cinema, Cheung Wood-yau and Ng Cho-fan, playing a kindhearted doctor and a tyrannical warlord, respectively. The girl is in love with the doctor but is separated by war and her sight is restored by the warlord, who forces her to marry him. She comes across the doctor again and is shocked to discover that he is her husband's cousin! They plan to elope but the warlord returns from battle, badly injured. She is now torn between love and loyalty…

Fong once again demonstrates her command in playing a woman at once gentle and strong, animating her character's courage in pursuing her own happiness, in line with the modern Chinese pursuit for freedom in love and marriage. Ng Cho-fan has a fun day playing the villain, embodying the vicious nature of strongman politics in the Republican era.
