Plot Synopsis
A she-devil against infidelity, Ying (Cecilia Cheung) is both feared and scorned by every man in town. Knowing his daughter would not fall for any ordinary man, Ying’s father (Zhao Benshan) deliberately pits her against Liang (Xiao Shenyang), the wittiest man in town. After Ying and Liang battle it out in a ferocious public debate on love, the two agree on a shocking wager: If Liang can remain faithful to Ying for a year, they would become husband and wife. The sole condition: They must live under the one roof, even if they don't share the same bed. And so begins Ying and Liang’s tumultuous relationship, as the two spend their days quarrelling and secretly scheming against each other. But like all great couples, their intense rivalry eventually blossoms into love. Meanwhile, the traitorous General Sima (Victor Huang) and imperial descendant Liu Da are fighting for the throne, and both sides wish to recruit Liang as military strategist. However, when Liang rejects Sima's offer, the infuriated general orders Liang to be killed. With Ying's help, Liang narrowly manages to escape death and joins Liu's camp. To help her man, Ying audaciously sneaks into Sima's camp and takes the general's wife as hostage. However, Ying mistakenly believes that Liang and Liu's sister are having an affair. As she leaves Liu's camp heartbroken and in tears, she is captured by Sima's men. Upon hearing the news, Liang bravely enters Sima's camp to negotiate for a hostage exchange. As the two men face off, both Liu's and Sima's troops secretly prepare for a decisive battle that will change the fate of the nation. Who will emerge as the victor? Will Liang be able to rescue Ying from the battlefield and earn her forgiveness?
