Money-minded lawyer Sung Sai Kit (Cheung Tat Ming) was extremely clever and his eloquent speech has won him thousands of cases in court. However, he had a bad reputation since he worked for whoever paid him well. Then his wife Ling Lung (Amy Kwok) got pregnant. Kit wanted to do good in his son’s name and started to be more charitable. He spared others in court and even represented orphan Sing (Fan Siu Wong) in a case. Sing’s father was misjudged as a murderer and Kit successfully proved him innocent. Not long afterwards, Ling Lung gave birth to a boy and Kit decided to retire. However, it wasn’t long when Kit was forced to go back into business.

Sung Sai Kit (Cheung Tat Ming) has retired to a poor shabby village and lived there in seclusion with his wife Ling Lung (Amy Kwok) and their child Joe since the Empress Dowager ordered the execution of his entire family. However, his real identity is soon unveiled when Kit manages to help the orphaned, helpless Choy (Sherming Yiu). Fortunately, Prince Kung has granted him the exemption from death for three years, and not long afterwards he even becomes His Majesty’s counsel. A series of cases including ‘The Iron-headed General’, ‘The Phantom Murderer’, ‘A Fatal Spell’, ‘The Unfilial Son from Heaven’ and many more and Kit is to deal with them.
