Synopsis

[edit]

Because of a lost PDA, the lovely and childlike Fiona Ko Yat-Sze (Niki Chow) is brought together with her Prince Charming, a boy whom she had had a crush on since school days. Alan Shum Long (Kevin Cheng) is the Prince Charming, who, after graduation from school, lost touch with Sze. Their encounter takes place in a shopping mall, which is designed like a canopy.

Alan meets Nick Kuen Lik (Bosco Wong), a Taekwondo black belt who starts working as a security guard at the mall Alan works at. Nick develops deep respect for Alan and takes the initiative to acknowledge him as "big brother". The simple and honest Nick initially likes Sze's sister, who is a bit of a gold digger, but later falls for Sze. Meanwhile, another woman (Claire Yiu) falls for Long...

Later on, Nick is discovered to be the long lost son of the rich owner of the mall.
