The story is set in colonial Hong Kong and spans four decades from
the late 1940s. Historic events that took place in that period have
provided inspiration for much of the story background and some of
the episodes. Wendy and Diana are childhood playmates in the 50s.
From their early teens, their fates take divergent paths. They
become life-long enemies Wendy trudges through a miserable
childhood and youth in a broken home and the only solace in her
early life is the friendship of Edward, Diana's kid brother.
Stomaching one mischance after another, she promises herself that
there's nothing she can't overcome by sheer will. Diana seems to
have come to this world just to be pampered by luck, glamour and
wealth. Her father, a property tycoon whose wealth began heaping in
the pre-anti-corruption days, teaches her that there's nothing
money can't buy. No one has stronger faith than she in her glorious
destiny. As it turns out, Wendy and Diana are both proven wrong.
Before they take their final bow in the story, their paths take
life-altering twists and turns......
