Last Madame

Shrouded with secrets and mysteries, a run-down shophouse in Singapore draws attention to banker Chi Ling who returns from Hong Kong to claim its inheritance. As she discovers the drudgeries and intrigues of her great-grandmother's world - in a brothel set in early 1940s Singapore - she is pushed to decide the fate of the building and to reconcile with her roots and history.

A young entitled client ruffles things up at the House of Phoenix, inflicting injury on one of the girls at the House of Phoenix. Will the Madame, Fung Lan, let go of this outrageous treatment towards her girls? In present times, an injury in the form of Chi Ling's foot has physically inhibited her from returning to Hong Kong.

A new and astute chief inspector is in town and he is determined to get behind the murders in the district - including two cold-blooded murders that seem to land Fung Lan and the House of Phoenix under intense spotlight.

The House of Phoenix is a flurry of activities in the mornings, showing the other side of things to activities at the house - including Fung Lan's other side, who is away most of the time. Inspector Mak is intrigued to find where the Madame hides herself. What's more, when the house's young maid disappears, Inspector Mak curiously discovers a different side to the Madame.

Chi Ling's past is further unveiled through a series of discovered stories as a certain character appears to know more about her past than she does. The link is surprising, and the mystery leads Chi Ling and Guo Wen on a hunt for lost journals and missing pieces to Chi Ling's past. Meanwhile, love is in the air at the House of Phoenix as Siu Lan is swept off her feet by a young gentleman...her client.

Fung Lan with the help of Inspector Mak locate a distraught Siu Lan... What will this mean for Siu Lan, who is angered by the situation and the cold-hearted Madame? More stories of Fung Lan and the girls including Siu Lan's plight are found by Chi Ling and Guo Wen. In their continuous search to complete the story, Chi Ling gets to know Guo Wen and his selfless acts for the community. Is she... falling for him?
