    Hui Pui-ching, a gentle and fragile woman, endures relentless abuse from her violent husband Fan Pak-nan. By chance, she meets Ha Mon-hin, a cultured and compassionate businessman trapped in his own loveless marriage.

As suspicion, jealousy, and blackmail close in, their impossible love spirals toward devastating consequences.
