The show premiered on July 26, 2010, and is slated to air for 20 episodes five nights a week.

Synopsis

Mrs. Cash (Michelle Yim) is successful in both career and life. She knows that her husband and mother-in-law would like her to bear children, so despite earlier miscarriages as well as her age, she is willing to take the risk of getting pregnant. However, she accidentally discovers that her husband Mr. Cash (Dominic Lam) has committed adultery. Pregnancy has imposed great pressure on her daily life as well as her career. Her aggressive subordinate Jackie (Maggie Cheung Ho-yee) therefore seizes the chance to take up her duties. Jackie is a bold and decisive person at work but she is caught in a quadrangular relationship by falling in love with the married man Nick (Joe Ma).

Discouraged by the relationship failures of her bosses, secretary BiBi (Joyce Tang) further impairs her confidence. Bibi's "outstanding" body shape, further increases her inferiority. Encouraged by her colleague Chi Lam (Power Chan), BiBi decides to boost her self-esteem by getting plastic surgery. Subsequently, she becomes the sexiest goddess on the Internet and the hottest brand spokesperson in town. Upon her getting rich and famous, BiBi suddenly realizes that this is not what she really wants.
