Plot Synopsis
With a history of 400 years, Macau is a city that has seen tremendous changes. In this city, Mei Xiao-ou (Bai Baihe) meets three men that will change her life forever. Xiao-ou once gave everything to Lu Jin-tong. But when she realizes that he'll never quit gambling, she escapes to Macau with their new-born son in search of a new life. Armed with newfound courage and tenaciousness, Xiao-ou becomes a client servicing manager in a casino, taking care of high rollers from Mainland China. On the eve of Macau's historic handover back to China, Xiao-ou meets Kevin Duan, a hugely successful businessman who gives her a major boost in her career. She hopes that she can count on Kevin as a partner in life and in work, but she never finds the sense of security she needs from him.
