A Change of Destiny

The Qidan is invading the Song Dynasty. There are divergent opinions among government officials over whether to fight against or to negotiate with the Qidan. Emperor CHIU HONG-YAN consults the Tui Bei Tu, a reportedly very accurate prophetic book, for a decision. He, nevertheless, cannot understand the book at all. At a loss, he thinks of LEE SHING-TIN, descendant of LEE SHUN-FUNG who predicted years ago that he would be draped with the imperial yellow robe by his supporters one day. The imperial court offers a reward of a hundred taels of gold for the arrest of TIN. YIP YEUNG, who comes from a well-off family, is very interested in the Tui Bei Tu and pledges to get it at any cost. Someone wants to kill YUEN HEI and his mother. Fortunately, they are saved by YEUNG. HEI tells YEUNG that he has been running after by people who want to kill him since he got one of the diagrams of the Tui Bei Tu.… ...

Knowing that TIN understands the diagrams of the book, HEI asks TIN if he is the person wanted by the imperial court. TIN denies. HEI wants to become TIN’s disciple. While they are pulling and dragging, they meet Qidan girl FOK YEE NA, who is performing acrobatics on the street with others. People on the street are very rude to NA because she is Qidan. NA, who is performing at Tsui Heung House, meets YEUNG again. YEUNG invites her to a drink but she turns him down. This turns the house into a state of chaos and HEI, who happens also to be there, is hurt. Someone has sent the Tui Bei Tu to YAN. YAN believes that that someone is TIN. To force TIN to take him and YEUNG disciples, HEI pretends to be seriously hurt. He also tells TIN that his days are numbered. TIN, nevertheless, sees through them and he plays a trick on them. YEUNG leaves in a huff.… ...

YEUNG’s father, YIP CHUN, buys back NA and her friends’ freedom. In addition, he hires NA to work at his incense factory, Chin Lei Heung. YEUNG is displeased about this. The flooding is under control. YAN holds a banquet to celebrate this. YAN would like to betroth his daughter, PRINCESS FEI FUNG, to SIU KWOK WAH, someone FUNG has not even met. FUNG runs away from the palace with her maid SUM YEE. TIN teaches HEI how to help the villagers with feng shui and divination. The master and disciple meet FUNG and YEE at a restaurant. FUNG blames TIN for swindling and confusing people’s mind. LUI WAI, owner of the restaurant, asks TIN to examine the feng shui of his restaurant. TIN foresees that WAI will have an accident. He asks HEI to advice WAI on how to avoid it. Unfortunately, WAI dies a sudden death not long after. WAI’s family brings the case to court. TIN and HEI are given 30 planks of the birch for misleading WAI with fallacy.… ...

TIN looks into the death of WAI at his grave. He concludes that WAI did not die in an accident. TIN and HEI dress up as ghost luring the killer to show up. It turns out the man was an employee of WAI who wanted to revenge WAI for his father. NA suspects that TIN is her father whom she has lost contact with for many years because of the pendant he is wearing. She tells her good friend SONG KEI that she would not forgive TIN if he were really her father. CHUN forces YEUNG to go for a blind date. YEUNG, who does not want to go, draws a picture of the girl he is fond of. It embarrasses YEE to the core as the girl looks pretty much like her who dresses up as a boy. HEI begs TIN again to do something to change his bad fate. Not wanting to turn him down again, TIN brings him one day’s luck. As instructed by TIN, HEI goes to the casino to gamble. He does win, but he has also instigated other gamblers.… ...

YEUNG is hurt. YEE bandages up for his injury. FUNG tells YEE that YEUNG has a crush on her. FUNG and WAH meet up for the first time and it is love at the first sight. The kicking ball competition is around the corner. WAH asks NAMFONG MUN for advice of how to win the competition. He then sets up an Octagon Formation as told by MUN and asks YEUNG out for a meeting. YEE comes along with YEUNG and they both fall into the formation. YEUNG and YEE are trapped in a cave. He tells YEE that he has found out that she is a girl. Claiming that his eyes have been injured, he tells YEE to take off her wet clothes. YEUNG does not show up on the day of the kicking ball competition so HEI replaces him to compete with WAH. WAH gets the upper hand at the beginning, but HEI manages to turn the tables on him with TIN’s help. YEUNG falls into unconsciousness and can die any time.… ...

NA refuses to marry into the YIP family. However, they work in collusion with KEI in making NA give in with a trick. FUNG and YEE ask WAH to give them the Snowy Lotus of Tianshan to treat YEUNG. As YEUNG has still not come around yet, HEI uses a cock to represent him to perform the wedding ceremony with NA. YEE feeds YEUNG some Snowy Lotus of Tianshan soup with her mouth. YEUNG wakes up after drinking it. YEUNG’s family members thank NA, for they believe that it is her marrying YEUNG that made him come around. YEE decides to go back to the palace with FUNG. YEUNG expresses his love for her and tells her that he will buy back her freedom when she tells him that she is only a maid of FUNG. YEUNG asks TIN to pretend to be a fortuneteller. TIN reads YEE’s fortune. He points out that she and YEUNG is a heaven-made match. YEE sees through the plot, however.… ...
