During the Zhonglong period of Emperor Zhongzong in the Tang Dynasty, the two imperial criminal detectives Pei Yi-fei (Francis Ng), Chun-Yu Zi-hong (Tai Chi-wei) are in charge of solving crimes on either side of the town.

When a mysterious woman Mak Gok-yi (Fiona Leung) arrives in the town and opens a wine bar and lounge, the three friends fall in love with her. Mak Gok-yi only shows interest in Pei Yi-fei, so Song Hien retreats but Chun-Yu Zi-hong continues to seek her affections.
