Synopsis

An incisive portrait of a business woman
torn between duty and desire

HONG PO KEI’s (Sheren Tang) engagement with Wuxi rice baron TSEUNG KIU (Ngo Wah) broke off many years ago when a natural disaster hit the country. Later when the country was running out of food supply her whole family was killed and she become a criminal. Over the years, KEI has never got over KIU. She has been trying to prove he is not as heartless as the others think. Fate has it that they meet again and she becomes his fourth wife. KIU’s first and second wives, YAN FUNG YEE (Susan Tse Suet Sum) and PANG KIU (Kiki Sheung), always make things difficult for KEI. KEI, who is an extremely clever person who never wastes time on trivial things, turns every threat into an opportunity. This makes KIU appreciate her wisdom and persistence. He entrusts his business to her and tells her to find a suitable successor for him before he dies.

Despite all the attacks in the family, KEI manages to keep the business in good shape. She has never forgotten KIU’s last wish, too. By chance, she discovers that TSEUNG PIT CHING (Ron Ng), KIU’s second son, is not really a playboy but an upright person loved by everyone in the shop. She therefore guides and helps him in every possible way, but her efforts are met with CHAI KAU’s (Wayne Lai) challenges. KAU seeks vengeance for being mistreated and wants a pay back from TSEUNG family. After rounds after rounds of battle wits and actual fights, KEI and KAU begin to appreciate each other. KAU even falls for KEI as time goes by.

    I’ve watched up to episode 6, and I’m really enjoying it!! I love Sheren and Wayne’s acting!

  • chung says:

    It’s finally over… Ever since this series released, it has been receiving very high ratings and good comments and it’s likely for Rosy Business to raise up high till 51 points, as the cast said. It is also expected to break Heart Of Greed and Moonlight Resonance’s records, and even The Jewel Of The Palace’s too. HONG PO KEI and CHAI KAU’s story of the era was really a historical moment to the audience. But still, KAU has passed away in the end, but his wish was fulfilled by his most best friend KEI while he was alive. It was like the audience taking KAU through the last moments of his life. Wayne Lai said that it was a perfect ending for KAU. From zero to a hero of the times, it was an interesting and wonderful story of the life and times of CHAI KAU. Let’s just remember CHAI KAU in our hearts. (CHAI KAU, we will never forget you and we will forever remember you in our hearts…)
