She was recently dumped by her boyfriend only to find out two month later that he is set to marry someone else. Career minded woman Jiang Wen Qi (Jennifer Hong), is fierce. She and her husband Lu Zhi Yuan (Hans Chang), decide to divorce but lies to their young daughter that she has to be away from home because of long business trips. Then there is their younger friend Xia Zhi Qin (Albee Huang), who is turning thirty soon. She is a free spirit who doesn't seem to want a committed relationship. To get away from everyday life and refresh herself from her recent divorce Wen Qi takes her friends on a getaway trip to Macau for fun and relaxation. At Macau the three ladies meet rich heir Edward Ai De Hua (Danson Tang), who has no plans to settle down and his homely friend Eric Lin Wei Zhong (Darren Qiu) who seems to only worry about his finances.
