In order to escape the shooting range of WONG YI's cannon, CHEUNG PO-TSAI has his crew throw the goods stored in the cabin into the sea and detain TAI-MUI in the cabin.

Just as he is about to sexually assault her, fortunately, CHEUNG PO-TSAI goes to her rescue. Admiral FOK YEE-TAI of the Guangdong Navy has tried to eliminate the pirates for years but to no avail, on top of which his subordinate, the Naval Commander HON YUNG even suffered a catastrophic defeat where his whole army was completely wiped out in the battle. In light of this, HON YUNG comes up with an ingenious ploy, which is to arrest a couple of fishermen and return to the capital to take credit for the success. Knowing that Lady YIM will definitely back him up, YEE-TAI follows suit in an attempt to get away with it.… ...

TAI-MUI goes to scout the Nine Dragons Temple, during which she misconceives that SHEK KIU committed adultery with another man. While all of the pirates are releasing the sky lanterns for blessings, TAI-MUI writes her wishes on a lantern; whereas CHEUNG PO-TSAI also prays in hopes of finding himself a perfect match soon. Across the bustling festival site of the Nine Dragons Temple fair, LAU SING takes out a strongman pill and hands it to CHENG YAT, claiming that it can help boost his strength.

Meanwhile, CHENG YAT and the others also arrive there to look for the Nine Dragons Pearl, praying for blessings.… ...

Though getting an earful from MAN-HO, HA SIM still prays to Goddess Guan Yin for MAN-HO's well-being, which greatly impresses Lady SHUN. HA SIM delivers the dishes to MAN-HO and leaves his room, after which MAN-HO enters the room and notices that one page of his proposal to eliminate the pirates is missing, which makes him suspicious of HA SIM. After interrogating HA SIM, MAN-HO gets to know that she is under Lady YIM's instruction to keep an eye on him, so he immediately kicks her out of his residence. YEE-TAI does not have any children, but fortunately for him, he adopts FOOK-CHEUNG as his son from the clan, and he takes his son to pay a visit to Lady YIM. When Lady SHUN tries to comfort HA SIM, HA SIM instead recalls that the missing page of the proposal might end up in the garden. In order to clear her name, she goes to the garden to look for the missing page.… ...

Despite the fact that HA SIM has a gun pointed at her head by YEE-TAI, Lady SHUN forcefully takes away HA SIM in an attempt to bring her back to her palace. Suddenly, Lady YIM shows up, triggering a power struggle between her and Lady SHUN. Not wanting HA SIM to fall victim to the murderous menace of YEE-TAI, MAN-HO tries his best to safeguard her.

MAN-HO assigns HON YUNG to lead two battalions to fight against WONG YI and his men. After learning that WONG YI is not in the water stockade, HON YUNG suggests that they could just randomly grab a couple of weak and unimportant sidekicks to brush off MAN-HO so as to let YEE-TAI take credit for the success. Meanwhile, SHEK KIU and the others hear that WONG YI is going to take six concubines, so LAU SING advises that they could launch an ambush at the time of the banquet held by WONG YI, to which everyone agrees. After turning down CHEUNG PO-TSAI's love proposal, TAI-MUI is determined to travel back in time to Hong Kong, whereas lovelorn CHEUNG PO-TSAI decides to release TAI-MUI and call it even. CHEUNG PO-TSAI leads his men to the Double Happiness Restaurant, where WONG YI holds the banquet and sneaks into the newlywed's room, trying to attack WONG YI.… ...

Seeing that MAN-HO and the other navy sailors lead a mass execution of pirates in public right in front of the naval barracks, CHEUNG PO-TSAI and the others are utterly consumed with rage. Throwing a dagger to challenge MAN-HO, they are determined to combat against the Guangdong Navy. Ahead of his departure, CHEUNG PO-TSAI hands an amulet of protection to TAI-MUI, who surprisingly recognizes that it is actually the old silver coin that will save her life in two hundred years, marking the beginning of their serendipitous romance! MAN-HO commands HON YUNG to battle against CHEUNG PO-TSAI, but HON YUNG gets cold feet and makes an excuse that he sustained severe injuries. So, MAN-HO tells HA SIM to use the herbal medicine to attend to HON YUNG's injuries without knowing that HON YUNG takes advantage of the situation in an attempt to sexually assault her. Flying into a rage, MAN-HO kills HON YUNG, making HA SIM feel so touched.… ...

At the celebratory banquet in the water stockade, CHEUNG PO-TSAI proposes marriage to TAI-MUI, who turns him down. On the other hand, LAI GONG GONG receives the military report drafted by YEE-TAI, stating the failure of MAN-HO's troops in battling the pirates. With the Crown Prince going to have a word with Emperor JIAQING face-to-face due to an emergency, Lady YIM has to leave and wait outside of the room, during which TUNG-SUET notices that Lady YIM feels nauseous and is about to vomit. It turns out that Lady YIM is pregnant with the Emperor's child but she deliberately keeps a low profile. Knowing his days are numbered, the Crown Prince sincerely hopes that Emperor JIAQING would strip him of his crown as heir to the throne, and find another suitable successor so as to avoid the fratricidal bloodshed.… ...

Due to earlier debacle, MAN-HO sparks an idea which is to purchase western cannons. However, SHEUNG TAK, the person in charge of foreign affairs, does not know any foreign languages; whereas the most outstanding one among the brokers is WONG YAT-HIN. MAN-HO discovers that HA SIM's uncle turns out be to YAT-HIN, so he specifically pays a visit to him. After MAN-HO invites YAT-HIN to his residence, YAT-HIN arrogantly demands semi-annual military pay and Prince's residence as his commission fee of helping them purchase the western cannons, to which YEE-TAI is strongly opposed. Ever since she turned down CHEUNG PO-TSAI's marriage proposal, TAI-MUI has made a number of enemies in the water stockade, coming under attack from all sides. SHEK KIU cannot bear to see CHEUNG PO-TSAI drowning his sorrows in alcohol, so she asks TAI-MUI to leave the water stockade, but TAI-MUI refuses to do so.… ...

CHEUNG PO-TSAI plots to steal the imperial yellow jacket, coincidentally, LAI GONG GONG, Prince MAN-HONG and the others happen to arrive there. After seeing the mocking remark as well as the returned imperial yellow jacket, they immediately blame MAN-HO for this. YAT-HIN goes to Macau to look for British Army Officer ROBERTSON, a friend with whom he went through thick and thin, discussing the matter of purchasing the western cannons. To his surprise, ROBERTSON, who became down-and-out, refuses to work with him on the pretext that the two are utterly incompatible with each other. Later on, YAT-HIN encounters SHUK-KWAN, the now-famous Courtesan, who leaves a great first impression on YAT-HIN. Just as ROBERTSON is about to be executed by hanging following his arrest, he pressures YAT-HIN to save him by using the western cannons as the bait; whereas YAT-HIN begins to take a fancy to SHUK-KWAN, inviting her to join him.… ...

Walking alone back to the naval barracks, MAN-HO spots two groups of the soldiers gambling. Surprisingly, he does not scold them about it, on top of which he himself even joins them and becomes the banker. Prince MAN-JING comes to the barracks to deliver fifty thousand silver ingots together with a letter written by Lady SHUN, to which MAN-HO feels very grateful. MAN-HO then hopes that LAI GONG GONG can help prepare food for the soldiers in celebration of the Winter Solstice. However, an officer suddenly comes to relay that as per YEE-TAI, they are not going to celebrate the Winter Solstice because they don't have enough money. Though HA SIM manages to deliver the silver ingots to YAT-HIN, Police Captain FABIO out of the blue leads his troops to come and take YAT-HIN into custody, revealing that YAT-HIN will be executed by hanging in three days.… ...

After YAT-HIN returns to the Admiral's residence, MAN-HO keeps his word and gives him the Admiral's residence. In response to HA SIM's query as to how he is going to deal with SHUK-KWAN, YAT-HIN frankly discloses that he is not going to marry her. Later on, SHUK-KWAN receives a letter from YAT-HIN, in which she finds not only a banknote but also a 'Dear Jane' letter. When TAI-MUI feels the road in front is indefinite, she coincidentally buys back her own gun. Later on in the street, she runs into SHUK-KWAN, who tells her that the navy has purchased the western cannons. Meanwhile, CHEUNG PO-TSAI and the others are moving full speed ahead with plans to take over the naval barracks, so TAI-MUI catches them up to inform them of the issue with regard to the western cannons. Unfortunately, none of them believes what TAI-MUI said.… ...

CHEUNG PO-TSAI's attempt to attack the naval barracks ends in failure, inflicting not only heavy casualties on the pirate forces but also serious injuries on himself. Feeling very guilty, CHEUNG PO-TSAI blames himself for not having listened to TAI-MUI's advice. MAN-HO is afraid that CHEUNG PO-TSAI might take advantage of the heavy fog to launch a counter attack, so he decides to wait until the next day to wipe out the remnants of the pirates. Meanwhile, CHENG YAT and the others also plan to lead the final strike against the navy early next morning. With CHEUNG PO-TSAI attempting to seek revenge all by himself, TAI-MUI comes up with an idea, which is to let herself divert the attention of the navy and then blow up the western cannons so as to create an opportunity for CHEUNG PO-TSAI to launch an ambush.… ...

LAI GONG GONG is getting ready to go back to the capital as soon as possible so as to report MAN-HO's victory over the pirates to Emperor JIAQING; whereas HA SIM prays to Goddess GUAN YIN for MAN-HO, revealing that she would like to follow a vegan diet in hopes of redeeming MAN-HO from his sin of killing. Interrogating captive TAI-MUI, MAN-HO coerces her to disclose CHEUNG PO-TSAI's whereabouts, but TAI-MUI refuses to do so, claiming that the reason why they became the pirates is all because of the navy. Apart from that, she even denounces the brutal crimes of the navy one after another to MAN-HO, MAN-HO then verifies what she said with SIU-FU, who frankly admits everything. In the meantime, YEE-TAI captures Scholar SUEN, and he together with Prince MAN-HONG and Prince MAN-LEUNG are interrogating and torturing the detainee in the prison cell.… ...

Emperor JIAQING is grief-stricken over the death of the Crown Prince. Meanwhile, Lady YIM secretly tells Emperor JIAQING that the death of the Crown Prince was not pre-ordained by the heavens, but likely to be inflicted by someone with an ulterior motive. On top of that, she even takes out a straw effigy, accusing LAI GONG GONG of murdering the Crown Prince by casting voodoo spells. On the other hand, LAI GONG GONG predicts that the Emperor will soon be very furious. As expected, shortly afterwards, the Commander appears and throws him in jail after arresting him over the alleged murder of the Crown Prince. Just as LAI GONG GONG is trying to figure out who would want him dead, Lady YIM shows up and tells him about the straw effigy, adding that he will be acquitted of all charges and freed from death row as long as he cites MAN-HO as the mastermind.… ...

MAN-HO is very grateful to TAI-MUI who helped him avoid being blamed by the Emperor on the issue of the death of the Crown Prince. To express his gratitude to TAI-MUI, he pardons her for engaging in piracy activities, but TAI-MUI doesn't appreciate it at all, above which she even delivers a sharp rebuke to MAN-HO by referring to him as vindictive, therefore she should be merciless towards him. For this matter, MAN-HO starts arguing with TAI-MUI, who then advises him entering into negotiations with the pirates. At that moment, SIU-FU comes to report that earlier, he along with his battalion ran into CHEUNG PO-TSAI, who was on the run, and after engaging in a skirmish with each other, CHEUNG PO-TSAI sustained injuries and fled. Seeing that CHEUNG PO-TSAI's amulet of protection, the old silver coin, is covered with blood, TAI-MUI cannot help worrying.… ...

On the day of the Seven Seas Tournament, all the pirates look up to CHENG YAT, supporting him as the Commander of the Seven Seas. Just as CHENG YAT is about to assume the title, WONG YI out of the blue appears and vies for the title of Commander, fiercely fighting against CHENG YAT. CHENG YAT has become old and frail, which places him at a disadvantage. In view of this, SHEK KIU gives him a hand, which on the contrary renders CHENG YAT disqualified from the competition. In the nick of time, CHEUNG PO-TSAI rushes back to duke it out with WONG YI. Just as CHEUNG PO-TSAI is looking to be on the verge of defeat, surprisingly, WONG YI's hand is bitten by a venomous snake, on the heels of which Siamese pirate WUSONA makes a sudden appearance.… ...

PALATINE takes the initiative to have a word with YAT-HIN, to whom he frankly discloses what actually happened between him and SHUK-KWAN the other night in Macau. It turns out that he has been regarding SHUK-KWAN as a sacred goddess, through whom he confesses, rejects, and renounces any bloodshed through murder or killings done in the past that he was involved in. After learning of this, YAT-HIN changes his attitude completely, and with Prince MAN-HONG as their witness, he eventually ties the knot with SHUK-KWAN. Thinking that her mission has been accomplished after seeing this, TAI-MUI wishes the newlyweds to be blessed with a baby boy soon, without knowing that YAT-HIN doesn't sincerely want to marry SHUK-KWAN. In fact, YAT-HIN is a kind of person that refuses to give in under any duress, so he is determined to leave SHUK-KWAN to live her whole life alone in Wong's Mansion.… ...

TAI-MUI purposely arranges for YAT-HIN and SHUK-KWAN to dance together in a ballroom dance party, hoping to help reconcile their broken relationship. Seeing the pair dancing with enthusiasm, TAI-MUI cannot help feeling excited. Suddenly, TAI-MUI sees MAN-HO wearing a suit standing in front of her, which is surprisingly overwhelming. MAN-HO invites TAI-MUI to dance with him, and the two are having a great time. After the two walk out to the garden, MAN-HO once again asks TAI-MUI to dance with him, and they kiss under the moonlight. TAI-MUI turns around and catches a glimpse of CHEUNG PO-TSAI as he sneaks a peek behind a pole. Heartbroken, CHEUNG PO-TSAI storms out of the garden, and TAI-MUI tries to stop him but to no avail. While CHEUNG PO-TSAI is drowning his sorrows in alcohol, WUSONA stealthily shows up, urging him to quit thinking about TAI-MUI as TAI-MUI has apparently fallen in love with MAN-HO.… ...

CHEUNG PO-TSAI, MAN-HO and the others arrive at the late CHENG YAT's mourning hall, where SHEK KIU immediately reprimands PO-TSAI for being in cahoots with MAN-HO after seeing that MAN-HO is still alive. Using torture, namely "Three stabs and six holes", on CHEUNG PO-TSAI, she tactically flushes out CHENG YAT's murderer. SHEK KIU then reads out CHENG YAT's death note, which not only confirms CHEUNG PO-TSAI's position as the new Commander of the Seven Seas, but also agrees with his decision to surrender to the government. MAN-HO returns to the capital, receiving a warm welcome from the crowd on his way back. Meanwhile, Lady YIM gives birth to a baby boy, making Emperor JIAQING very happy. Emperor JIAQING summons MAN-HO to have an audience with him in the imperial garden to celebrate his success of bringing the pirates into submission.… ...

Refusing to give in, Lady YIM endeavors to help YEE-TAI make a comeback. To her surprise, YEE-TAI indicates that she is no longer as influential as she once was. Therefore, Lady YIM becomes very angry at MAN-HO, which incidentally triggers her memories of the past, and she cannot help wondering how come MAN-HO was able to get well and make a full recovery after he got really sick at the age of four. Seeking to pry into the matter, Lady YIM goes to ask Lady SHUN for the secret cure for the scarlet fever, and she takes advantage of the situation to raise doubts about MAN-HO's sudden recovery. Ever since their submission to the government, CHEUNG PO-TSAI and the others have the government official titles conferred on them by the Emperor. With SHEK KIU pointing out that CHEUNG PO-TSAI's elder brother is still alive, CHEUNG PO-TSAI seeks aid from MAN-HO to locate him.… ...

Leading CHEUNG PO-TSAI and his men to make an audience with Emperor JIAQING, LAI GONG GONG hands the map of the South China Sea to CHEUNG PO-TSAI, instructing him to submit it to the Emperor. While CHEUNG PO-TSAI is presenting the scroll of the map to the Emperor, a dagger emerges at the end of the scroll, and right away, he becomes the prime suspect in an assassination attempt on the Emperor. Amid the chaos, CHEUNG PO-TSAI and the others are arrested and thrown in jail, so CHEUNG PO-TSAI misconceives that he was framed by MAN-HO. MAN-HO begs the Emperor's pardon for CHEUNG PO-TSAI, so the Emperor gives him three days to probe into the matter even though the Emperor starts getting suspicious. Showing little compunction, Lady SHUN confesses her sins to Goddess GUAN YIN and asks for forgiveness, during which MAN-HO shows up to ask Lady SHUN about the matter agitatedly.… ...

EMPEROR JIAQING becomes infuriated after realising MAN-HO's real identity. While Lady YIM is burning incense for worship, a little golden pagoda is struck by a lightning bolt, and the remains of a baby are discovered, which links to Lady SHUN's hidden secret of switching her late newborn with another one. Just as Lady YIM is getting carried away after learning about the secret, Emperor JIAQING appears and reiterates that they should keep it secret because it is embarrassing, eventually putting the two noble consorts to death. Right in front of the late Lady SHUN's coffin, MAN-HO and MAN-JING are so sad that they break out in tears. Following that, Emperor JIAQING gets very suspicious, so he summons MAN-HO to ask him about the progress of the alleged assassination attempt involving CHEUNG PO-TSAI, implying that someone must die. MAN-HO then goes to the jail in an attempt to arrange for CHEUNG PO-TSAI to flee.… ...

Out of the blue, he discovers a tattoo on his arm, which indicates he was jinxed with the spell cast by WUSONA, so he cannot help feeling himself stalemated.
