LUNG thinks it is time to kill BO. Luckily, some tribes save him. On the execution day, everyone from the Chang family tells each other their last word. They also tell FUNG that they have already taken some poison and it starts to work… BEON and LUNG are caught. BO thanks FUNG for taking care of HIN for so many years. However, he wants to take HIN back to Tibet and let HIN make the decision. Five years later, everyone is having a headache trying to buy FUNG a birthday present…

FUNG decides to move to some poor areas when she sees everyone keep their bad habits even in this tough situation. She wants to start up another business again although all the others think it is impossible because no one will put their bill on hold any more. Luckily, someone they helped before brings them business. SHING assumes that MONA has run away with MING. Although he feels upset, he also feels weak to do anything to rescue the situation. Some fabrics are dyed in the wrong way. POK and YUNG both push the blame to each other. HING accuses FUNG of bias towards YUNG and asks to split the family. She then eats a sick chicken and gets ill. POK will not take care of her fearing he will get infected too. Only FUNG will get close to her. Everyone hands out all their money to buy HING the necessary medicines.

CECI is kicked out of the house. MIU worries that POK will take her back and forces him to divorce her. MONA and SHING return home and tell everyone that MONSIE is going to marry BEON. HIN is shocked by this news and spends all his time in drinking. YIM finds out that MIU stole the herbs. MIU knows that YIM will buddy up with her and tries to please her. YIM worries that YUNG will get himself a mistress and forces him to swear not to. MIU pushes all the blame to YIM when they are found out about the stealing. BEON tests MONSIE and finds out that she loves HIN. BEON loses his temper. Although MONSIE accepts his apology, she sees his true character. JEW goes to make a prayer for HIN in the rain and moves him.

JEW asks MONA to teach her embroidery. MONA knows that JEW and HIN might start loving each other after they are together for a long time and tells MONSIE to leave soon. MIU uses every way to let everyone know that she is pregnant. CECI is shattered when she finds that it is POK’s baby. FUNG persuades her to accept MIU as POK’s mistress. JEW makes a purse for HIN but gets laughed at. The study is on fire. JEW and MONSIE arrive at the scene at the same time. JEW is worried about HIN. When he comes out safe, they hug in front of MONSIE.

JEW wants HIN to date MONSIE openly, so she takes them out together. This helps improving JEW and HIN’s relationship. GI misses SHANG a lot. She gets to see him under JEW’s help. YIM and YUNG fall into a trap because of their greed. MIU gets close to POK when CECI goes back to her parents’ home. When she returns, she annoys POK by talking too much. JEW suspects SHANG is CHAN’s son when she notices that SHANG has a similar taste in eating to a Tibetan. MONSIE sees a woman scolding BEON in the market and assumes that he has betrayed that woman, but later she finds out she has made a mistake. MONA takes her gold jewels to a pawnshop to help her own family’s debt. However, she is spotted by CECI and gets reported.

JEW tries to match HIN and MONSIE up. CECI and YIM fight over a ‘thousand babies’ picture. FUNG bins all the overdue dye in order to keep the high standard. LUNG lectures BEON on how to be a good official. The whole Chang family foresees losing a big order from the government. FUNG passes the business to POK and delights HING and CECI. MONA makes a mistake in distributing the servants and causes SHING’s injury. FUNG understands her difficulties and only scolds her a little, but she feels awful. SHANG sends something back to GI and moves her. JEW sets up a plan to injure HIN but something bad happens.

JEW searches for the ‘Golden butterfly’. She makes every woman in the family believe in ‘planting gold’ and shows all their gold jewels. MONSIE meets her unwanted fiance JOE and he follows her around. Luckily, HIN helps her out and she tells him about her escaping from the prearranged marriage. SHING assumes FUNG has given him up and realizes this is not true later. LUNG’s son, BEON (KWOK YIU MING), is appointed as the supervisor for the whole dyeing industry, but his father does not agree with his working style. BEON and YUNG argue over an antique bowl and BEON keeps this in his heart. FUNG gives a pair of hairpins to JEW. JEW takes the chance to ask about the ‘Golden butterfly’. FUNG invites LUNG and BEON for dinner. YUNG realizes who BEON is. JEW accidentally finds out where the ‘Golden butterfly’ is.

The whole family is avoiding JEW and EMMA (WANE, IRENE) and confuses them. A man robs EMMA who is somehow falsely accused of stealing by NAM (TANG SIU CHUEN, JOHNNY). She feels this is unfair and takes NAM’s wallet instead. HING forces CECI to drink down some holy water in order to get her a grandson. MONSIE loses a hairpin and turns JEW into a suspect. FUNG decides to recover the hairpin for one more day. EMMA finds it eventually, but everyone thinks that she is the thief. JEW wants to walk away but is scare of being accused of being a fugitive, so she stays unwillingly. YIM wrongly thinks that she is pregnant and pleases FUNG. She also forces everyone to treat her like a queen.

HING tries to bribe LUNG to save POK, but fails. FUNG decides to ask for the king’s mercy in person. The king is convinced by her touching words and only punishes POK gently. HIN stands out in the exam and is welcomed by everyone. LUNG prepares a big banquet for him. However, JEW embarrasses him over the dinner table. They split up on the way home after the argument. HIN gets lost on a trail and falls down the hillside with a girl that he likes. He then finds out that JEW is still not yet home. A female body which has a similar dress on is found near the river bank and the whole family mistakenly assumes that JEW is dead. POK and YUNG work very hard in front of FUNG. HIN meets his dream girl again.

JEW is very grateful to FUNG for not punishing her. FUNG and HING go to a temple to get some holy water for POK (YUEN SIU CHEUNG, LOUIS) and HIN, hoping they will be elected in the public exam. However, selfish POK drinks it all up and gets an upset stomach. YUNG (CHEUNG CHUNG KEI, RONALD) annoys FUNG because he only enjoys his life and does not work. JEW makes fun of SHING for being stupid and upsets MONA (SO YUK WAH, LOUISA). Later when JEW finds out that there is something wrong with SHING, she feels guilty and apologizes to him. She accidentally hurts HIN’s hand. He gives up revising for his exam because he knows he cannot write for a while. SHANG (CHOY TSE KIN) is like a brother to HIN, so he tries every way to help him. He is fooled by some cheats with some cheap medicine. JEW helps him to catch the cheats and gets his money back. She realizes how important the exam is to HIN, so she uses an old treatment to treat HIN’s hand.
