brings his family to the palace to live with them. Second story arc The Kam family adjusting to living in the royal palace, as well as to the social aspects of court life. Each of the male members of the family are given high-ranked jobs within the palace, and Nin and Princess Sam-tin marry. The female members of the family befriend a rough looking woman named Po Ling-kau who lives on the outskirts of the palace; it is later revealed that she was formerly one of the Emperors lowly concubines. After giving her a makeover, she once again catches the Emperor's attention, putting her into conflict with the current favored concubine Man, who schemes to become Empress. Nim-chi also catches the Emperor's attention, as she physically resembles the late and disgraced former Empress, who was executed for giving birth to 'demons'. The Emperor's sister, who is comically crazy, sets her sights on Yuet, disregarding the fact he already has two wives. Consort Man and her buffoonish brother Man Kwok-kei eventually kidnap a pregnant Po Ling-kau, with the aid of their henchman, the eunuch Ling Ling-fat. They make it appear as if Po Ling-kau has run away with a former lover (who is killed by them), and keep her hidden so Man can steal the child when it is born and make herself Empress. It is shown that she replaced the former Empress' newborn baby with a puppy, which was used as proof that the Empress was a demon, and was thus executed. The child was later abandoned in the wilderness, though it is revealed that he was taken in by a child-less couple (who never revealed his adoption): Ko Yee-hong is revealed to be the missing Prince. The former Empress is also still alive, being kept imprisoned by Man, though she is freed by her devoted eunuch Bo Lo-to. In the end, Man and her brother are charged for their crimes, imprisoned in the same grotesque manner as they did the Empress, who is re-instated and is shown to not only be grateful to the Kam family, but also holds friendly relations with Po Ling-kau. Yat becomes Consort to Ko Yee-hong due to their marriage (becoming pregnant soon after), and the Princess no longer has to worry about succession as her newfound brother will eventually become Emperor, allowing her and Nin to live happily ever after.
