Season 1

LOK-LO plays matchmaker for TUNG LOI, who rejects it, thinking the girls are too ugly. That makes KUEN and FUN so upset that they go to Canton to buy more clothes and make-up, but they go missing. Feeling guilty for that, TUNG LOI goes alone to Canton in search of them, only to see TIN-KIU being hit by a car right after she steps out of Chi Sum Court. The fact that TUNG LOI hasn’t come back makes DIK KEI suspect it has something to do with TIN-KIU. At that moment, DIK KEI receives a telegram from TUNG LOI, and TIN-KIU wants to read it out for DIK KEI alone. Soon, DIK KEI announces to officially marry TIN-KIU, suddenly things are getting pretty gloomy, making LAW YEE and MA TAN believe that he has something to hide. TIN-KIU gives a black pearl necklace to YUEN-YUEN, hinting that she has already known her real identity. She adds that the reason why DIK KEI chose her as his legal wife is because he has taken the big picture into account.

After receiving divorce papers from DIK KEI, heartbroken NGAI NAU asks LAW YEE to elope with her, to which LAW YEE dares not to agree. DIK KEI suggests holding a wedding ceremony at Chi Sum Court. While HIDETOSHI thinks he is up to something, TIN-KIU doesn’t think so. Geisha OI-MEI tells DIK KEI on the sly that TUNG LOI is detained in the dungeon of Chi Sum Court. MA TAN discloses to YUEN-YUEN that the reason why DIK KEI protected her is just for atonement, then seizes the opportunity to confess his love to her. TIN-KIU shows off her pure white Japanese-style wedding dress to NGAI NAU, so NGAI NAU purposely uses all-white wedding décor for revenge, which irritates TIN-KIU so much that she wantonly bullies her into doing everything for her. At the wedding ceremony, MA TAN and LOK-LO appear to be drinking and playing games with OI-MEI……

After OI-MEI and the others walk into the dungeon, the door is locked from the outside. TIN-KIU agrees to open the door for DIK KEI, but on one condition, which is to kill YUEN-YUEN first. DIK KEI insistently wants to protect YUEN-YUEN, suddenly, NGAI NAU shows up. In the ensuing chaos, the one who gets shot turns out to be…… Leading his troops there, TAI-TUNG demands DIK KEI to hand over TIN-KIU to him so as to prove that he didn’t collude with the Japanese. Though DIK KEI refuses, MA TAN has instead taken action…… TAI-TUNG announces MA TAN to be the successor for the Marshal of Sing Wai Town, adding that DIK KEI will be executed in three days! NGAI NAU plans to leave Marshal’s Mansion, but LAW YEE trusts that MA TAN must have some way to save DIK KEI. The newly appointed Marshal MA TAN has been sneered at since he resumed his office. It’s not until he meets KEI-KEI that he gets a heartwarming feeling……

LAW YEE and TUNG LOI plan a prison break, which according to LOK-LO’s analysis, will put MA TAN at a disadvantage. LAW YEE then discusses with MA TAN and DIK KEI respectively about the plan but gets rejected as well. As DIK KEI’s execution date is approaching and there is only one day left, YUEN-YUEN seems to be preoccupied while working, and she goes to discuss the strategies with LAW YEE after learning about his escape plan. Following that, she goes to the prison to confess her feelings to DIK KEI, urging him to marry her. LAW YEE decides to execute the plan alone, so NGAI NAU bids farewell to him, expressing her gratitude to such a good man. SAI-KWAI arrives at Sing Wai Town to monitor the execution, during which rumor has it that DIK KEI escaped after breaking out of prison, so he warns MA TAN not to hinder them from arresting him……

LAW YEE appears in front of SAI-KWAI after knocking DIK KEI unconscious, however, he refuses to reveal DIK KEI’s whereabouts, nor does he want to surrender. Apart from that, he even challenges MA TAN to a duel, and SAI-KWAI couldn’t be happier to see them fight each other…… After LAW YEE’s dead body is transported back to Sing Wai Town, MA TAN is under attack from all sides, and TUNG LOI even punches him. DIK KEI bursts into tears while paying tribute to the late LAW YEE, promising to take good care of his beloved NGAI NAU. He then flees. YUEN-YUEN plans to leave Sing Wai Town, but MA TAN tries to convince her to stay in order to prevent the Marshal family from being scattered. Having heard LOK-LO’s analysis, TUNG LOI not only apologizes to MA TAN, but is also willing to receive punishments. Meanwhile, ZING-CHING asks whether MA TAN agrees to cooperate with the revolutionaries……

After learning the truth about the death of YUEN-YUEN’s father, MA TAN finds it hard to believe. SAI-KWAI requests fees from MA TAN for tracking down DIK KEI, making MA TAN angry. NGAI NAU plans to leave because she can only receive allowances for basic needs. Following her failed attempt to sell her jewellery, she goes to SAI-KWAI’s casino to try her luck but ends up in huge debt after spotting someone that looks alike DIK KEI. MA TAN suggests increasing taxes to pay off the arrest fee, however, he feels resentful after LOK-LO tries to put in a good word for the residents in front of CHIN-CHA. ZING-CHING inquiries about DIK KEI’s tattoo prior to his departure, making YUEN-YUEN feel suspicious. HIDETOSHI invites MA TAN to meet him, during which he suggests making him the most powerful man in the south. Seeing MA TAN upset, KEI-KEI tries to share his trouble but MA TAN yells at her and drives her away……

ZING-CHING attempts to assassinate MA TAN but fails. MA TAN decides to let TAI-TUNG preside over the trial. NGAI NAU is happy to see DIK KEI and tells him about the assassination while airing her grievances, surprisingly, DIK KEI tells her to go back to the casino to lose all her money! MA TAN not only refuses to be responsible for NGAI NAU’s debts, but also throws her in jail. When TAI-TUNG interrogates ZING-CHING, ZING-CHING out of the blue draws his gun, fortunately, TAI-TUNG comes prepared. TAI-TUNG casts doubt on MA TAN, who shifts the focus by claiming there is a mole and then incarcerates some soldiers and TUNG LOI. Seizing the chance when applying medication on TAI-TUNG’s wound, YUEN-YUEN tries to avenge ZING-CHING, but is thwarted by MA TAN. HIDETOSHI claims that he can provide weapons to MA TAN, who tells TAI-TUNG about this, so TAI-TUNG asks MA TAN to raise money from SAI-KWAI……

Seeing OI-MEI is hit and scolded by HIDETOSHI, MA TAN starts shooting at HIDETOSHI like crazy. In a panic, HIDETOSHI flees but is saved by DIK KEI, who claims to be the right person he is looking for. DIK KEI suggests that he should sell the weapons to SAI-KWAI, otherwise, he will end up being killed by MA TAN. When HIDETOSHI sells the weapons to SAI-KWAI, MA TAN suddenly bursts into the warehouse, triggering an exchange of fire…… MA TAN sees through that DIK KEI is behind all of this, so he confronts LOK-LO and even throws him in jail. LOK-LO tells YUEN-YUEN about everything that MA TAN has done, urging her to go to the abandoned house to ask DIK KEI for clarification. MA TAN tracks YUEN-YUEN to the abandoned house, leading to a standoff between the two brothers. TAI-TUNG announces that he is going to Sing Wai Town, however, the one who actually shows up turns out to be the wanted DIK KEI!

Becoming the Marshal for a day, DIK KEI holds an open hearing, pledging to clear up the chaos in Sing Wai Town. Unfortunately, no one dares to speak up. NGAI NAU is the first one to complain that MA TAN shot LAW YEE to death. Shifting the subject, DIK KEI instead asks how come ZING-CHING had a gun to shoot TAI-TUNG. He not only puts MA TAN on trial, but also presents vital evidence against him. After the trial, MA TAN expresses his willingness to receive any punishment, so DIK KEI once again uses Russian Roulette to conclude the matter, and lets YUEN-YUEN pose questions…… Casting doubt upon DIK KEI’s trustworthiness, TAI-TUNG leads his troops in person to Sing Wai Town to arrest the remnants of the revolutionaries, creating panic among residents, plunging the whole town into chaos. That leaves DIK KEI no other choice but to fight against TAI-TUNG so as to protect the residents……
