Her husband (Bernard Tan) unexpectedly returns home with his mistress (Joey Feng) and chases her out the house. The next day, both parties meet up to get a divorce. Qiao Wen refuses to sign the papers. The divorce lawyer, Guan Xin, (Jesseca Liu) asks her to sign the papers immediately and stop wasting everybody’s time. Qiao Wen is angered by Guan Xin’s nonchalance and storms off angrily without signing the papers. Qiao Wen boards a taxi and tells the driver to send her to the beach. The driver Zhang Xiao Feng (Priscelia Chan) asks Qiao Wen if she is thinking of committing suicide, adding that suicide is not the solution to her problems. Xiao Feng then let Qiao Wen know all about an organization known as the “Revenge Queen” before passing her a name card. After Xiao Feng drops her off, Qiao Wen decides to call the hotline to join the “Revenge Queen”. The “Revenge Queen” is made up of Wu Kai En (Jayley Woo), Zeng Jing (Vivian Lai), Zhang Xiao Feng and lastly, a secret leader. Everyone in the team has a special trait that helps in executing the plans of “Revenge Queen”. Will the “Revenge Queen” be able to help Qiao Wen regain her own confidence and take revenge on her husband? These women have been hurt and betrayed by their former lovers and join the organization to seek vengeance.
