To Love With No Regrets

The young KAM YUK is sold to the brothel by her relatives following the deaths of her parents. LUK KWAI, boss of Luk Hing Lung Soy Sauce Plant, takes pity of YUK and redeems her. YUK has since worked as a maid at the LUK household, taking care of KWAI’s motherless son LUK MAN DULL. Impressed by YUK’s meticulous care and assured of her compatible horoscope with DULL, DULL’s grandmother SO FA decides to take YUK as her grandson’s child bride. Despite her special status as the LUKs’ daughter-in-law, YUK is treated with slightly more respect than a lowly servant. DULL’s second eldest sister LUK CHIN, who has reached a marriage age, is eager to become a bride. However, many a time her marriage arrangement was called off because of the incompatible horoscopes between the perspective groom and DULL. CHIN’s hope revives when rich man’s son CHOW KWOK TUNG brings up proposal of marriage to KWAI……

Before he expires, KWAI entrusts YUK with the enormous task of educating DULL. In order to fulfill his dying wish, YUK is determined to hire the best teacher in town to educate DULL. CHENG SIN, supervisor of Luk Hing Lung, asks YUK to attend a meeting at the plant to negotiate a deal with a foreigner. Speaking no foreign language, YUK embarrasses herself in front of the guest.

Since KWAI’s death, FA has been pressing YUK to bear DULL an heir in order to bring good luck to the family. YUK pours her sufferings to her maid……

SHING takes YUK’s offer unwillingly so as to earn money to pay KOO’s debts. TUNG is about to get married, but CHIN is not his bride. To cheer her up, YUK takes her to Maiden House to meet her mahjong mates and bosom friends, MODESTY, FELICITY, FAITH and HOPE, four celibate women who live under the same roof. Regarded as an unlucky woman, DULL’s eldest sister LUK FUN is banished from her husband’s family following his death. Returning to stay with the LUKs, she hopes to ease FA’s mind by lying that she has taken home two chests of gold. Meanwhile, YUK worries that she will be banished from the family for failing to produce an heir. In order to punish TUNG for deceiving CHIN into marriage, DULL takes his fast friends FA CHAK SHUI and SAIMUN HING to seek TUNG out in the brothel and chances on TUNG MUI outside the premises. When FA learns that DULL has visited a brothel, she chides YUK for her negligence……
