Plot

edit

Kuen is the headman of a rural village. Once he managed to save a person in danger very courageously, and since then he has been boasted of being a true hero. Thinking that KUEN is an object of public opinion, Ching, a tough competent businesswoman invites him to star in a commercial. During their co-operation, the arrogant, self-assured Ching has had a number of clashes with the egotistic Kuen, a most typical masculinist.

One day, they both come under attack and at last Kuen luckily survives while Ching is killed. Having died a very unnatural death, Ching is filled with grievance and is determined to locate her killer. Her spirit transmigrates into Kuen's body and disguises as a returned overseas Chinese named Diana. She joins the company she worked for in the name of Diana to look for clues.

In the course of the investigation, Ching discovers that her younger sister Hung is not that innocent and worst of all, is likely to further degenerate. Ching needs Kuen to woo Hung in the hope that he, after becoming Hung's boyfriend, can teach her right from wrong. In time as expected, Hung and Kuen fall in love. Meanwhile, Ching learns that her husband Wah has been having an affair with his secretary Ying all along. Bit by bit, Ching can finally piece together a full picture of her murder….[1]
