Captain of Destiny

Knowing that the ferocious mobsters kidnapped IT mogul YANG TAOGUO, quick-witted police officer WONG TAI-MUI immediately calls headquarters for backup. While the police are opening fire on the kidnappers, TAI-MUI risks her own life to give pursuit, during which a canopy collapses, hitting and injuring a passer-by and his dog. On impulse, TAI-MUI expresses radical criticism in a media interview, and she ends up being relocated to a station in Cheung Chau shortly after she gets promoted to Sergeant. Going to the hospital to visit the injured passer-by, BOWIE, TAI-MUI promises to look after his dog. Later on, she bumps into BOWIE again when she brings the dog back to her ancestral house in Cheung Chau, and she even recommends him to go sketching at CHEUNG PO-TSAI Cave. Having returned to the dry seafood store run by her elder sister, TAI-MUI notices her elder sister, TAI-NUI, is working so hard alone there; whereas her husband FU MA is a penny pincher, so TAI-MUI cannot help thinking that it's not worth her sister's while doing everything for this cheapskate brother-in-law. TAI-MUI then goes to the police station to report for duty, and all of her co-workers turn out to be her childhood acquaintances. Among them, Senior Inspector LEUNG KIM-FUNG, an astronomy enthusiast, gravely tells TAI-MUI that many unexplained, paranormal phenomena have happened in Cheung Chau while welcoming her back. Going to the CHEUNG PO-TSAI Cave to make some sketches, BOWIE has an accident, during which something strange happens. With TAI-MUI getting informed by the dispatcher about the collapse of the CHEUNG PO-TSAI Cave, it's discovered that BOWIE is trapped inside the cave, and he cannot move as both his legs are crushed by the stones. TAI-MUI goes to his rescue, and upon her departure, she finds an old silver coin. She then turns on her flashlight to look at it in detail, fascinatingly, a shadow bearing a striking resemblance to CHEUNG PO-TSAI out of the blue flashes by behind her...

Knowing that TAI-MUI thinks CHEUNG PO-TSAI is merely a fictional character, KIM-FUNG leads her to the store room of the police station, briefing her about the history and background with regard to CHEUNG PO-TSAI, plus WONG’s Genealogy, which is then downloaded by TAI-MUI to her tablet computer. CHING SUM, from the VIP Protection Unit, is dispatched to Cheung Chau to conduct a site survey for his upcoming mission, so KIM-FUNG assigns TAI-MUI to assist him, and it turns out that they were a couple. On their inspection tour, CHING SUM and TAI-MUI run into BOWIE, from whose sketches CHING SUM out of the blue sees TAI-MUI's portrait, so CHING SUM misconstrues that the two are carrying on with each other. By chance, BOWIE overhears the conversation between FU MA and CHING SUM, learning that FU MA uncovered CHING SUM had an affair in Mainland China and had been cheating on TAI-MUI. After BOWIE relays the information to TAI-MUI, TAI-MUI goes to ask CHING SUM about it, above which she even takes away his laptop computer. Having learned about the whole thing, TAI-MUI bursts into tears and leaves, without knowing that BOWIE inserts a flash drive to copy the confidential files from the computer...

Seeing that the guest for a large-scale outdoor event is YANG TAOGUO, TAI-MUI is of the opinion that the "Bandit King" is definitely going to show up in Cheung Chau, given the fact that they were engaged in fire during the rescue operation in Kwun Tong. Later on, TAI-MUI runs into a veterinarian who gave her dog a check-up, and she cannot help getting suspicious of BOWIE after talking with the veterinarian. Upon TAOGUO's arrival at Cheung Chau by his private yacht, an abrupt climate change results in another unexplained, paranormal phenomenon. Assembling their subordinates, CHING SUM and KIM-FUNG are getting ready to confront the criminals head-on, simultaneously, the "Bandit King" is also leading his armed forces to launch an attack. With the battle between the police and the criminals prompting horrendous chaos in Cheung Chau, the henchmen of the "Bandit King" manage to abduct TAOGUO, fleeing towards the seashore, so TAI-MUI immediately drives a speedboat to give pursuit. All of a sudden, a waterspout appears off the coast following a drastic change of the weather, flipping over the speedboat of the "Bandit King". As for TAI-MUI, she is also caught in the waterspout and travels back in time two hundred years to the Qing Dynasty, where the Qing Navy is hunting down CHEUNG PO-TSAI and the other pirates. Just as CHEUNG PO-TSAI is scheming to attack the Qing fleet, out of the blue a young woman is thrown by the waterspout to the area. Launching an attack, the Qing Navy fires the cannon, shooting both TAI-MUI and CHEUNG PO-TSAI on one of the Qing battleships...

CHEUNG PO-TSAI, aka "The Devil", attempts to fire the cannon by using TAI-MUI as the human cannonball, ahead of which his archrival WONG YI, one of the Black Flag pirates, makes a sudden appearance, scheming to seize control of the Qing ship taken by CHEUNG PO-TSAI. In order to escape the shooting range of WONG YI's cannon, CHEUNG PO-TSAI has his crew throw the goods stored in the cabin into the sea and detain TAI-MUI in the cabin. At that moment, TAI-MUI comes to realise that she did travel back in time to the Qing Dynasty. One of TAI-MUI's modern world belongings accidentally blows up the cannon on PO's ship, leading to the defeat of CHEUNG PO-TSAI. Fortunately, with TAI-MUI's help, CHEUNG PO-TSAI learns how to make torpedos and successfully repels WONG YI's attack. CHEUNG PO-TSAI then escorts TAI-MUI back to the water stockade for interrogation. While there, one of his subordinates, LAU SING, who used to follow the western pirates, uncovers that TAI-MUI can speak a foreign language, so he is convinced that TAI-MUI is actually a mixed-race girl. Attending the meeting of the League of the Seven Seas, WONG YI takes the initiative to approach the Commander, CHENG YAT, to file a complaint against CHEUNG PO-TSAI, accusing him of stealing the ship from the allies. Though CHEUNG PO-TSAI manages to rush back to reveal the whole truth, he is instead under the threat of WONG YI to expose that he broke his oath as a pirate and released the Qing general...

Following her escape, TAI-MUI accidentally charges onto WONG YI's ship, where she endeavors to grab some clothes and get changed. Her actions happen to be seen by CHEUNG PO-TSAI, who is also on board the ship. Later on, WONG YI discovers TAI-MUI and manages to apprehend her. Just as he is about to sexually assault her, fortunately, CHEUNG PO-TSAI goes to her rescue. Admiral FOK YEE-TAI of the Guangdong Navy has tried to eliminate the pirates for years but to no avail, on top of which his subordinate, the Naval Commander HON YUNG even suffered a catastrophic defeat where his whole army was completely wiped out in the battle. In light of this, HON YUNG comes up with an ingenious ploy, which is to arrest a couple of fishermen and return to the capital to take credit for the success. Knowing that Lady YIM will definitely back him up, YEE-TAI follows suit in an attempt to get away with it. YEE-TAI and HON YUNG falsely accuse some innocent fishermen of being the pirates, making a triumphant return. Although SIU-FU, a former navy soldier, discovers the truth and intends to teach them a lesson, he is hindered by a man who challenged him to a duel. The man turns out to be the Eleventh Prince, MAN-HO, a living embodiment of righteousness, and YEE-TAI's evildoing fills him with abhorrence, so he joins forces with eight censors to submit a memorial to the Emperor, filing a complaint against YEE-TAI. Just as the Emperor is about to order the execution of YEE-TAI, Lady YIM suddenly appears to stop him from doing so...

MAN-HO is commissioned by Emperor JIAQING to eliminate the pirates in Guangdong, a crisis-ridden province. On the other hand, MAN-HO's mother, Lady SHUN meets with Lady YIM to plead for forgiveness after MAN-HO ratted out YEE-TAI to the Emperor. As the meeting of the League of the Seven Seas is around the corner, CHENG YAT somehow feels keenly that his ability falls short of his wishes, which greatly disturbs SHEK KIU and PO. CHEUNG PO-TSAI messes with TAI-MUI while returning the backpack to her, resulting in endless hilarious-riots. As for TAI-MUI, she still cannot adapt to the life in the Heroes’ Den. Suddenly, she recalls that she herself downloaded the County annals of Daoguang Reign to her mobile phone, through which she learns about the upcoming waterspout in four days, so she hopes to seize the opportunity to return to 2015 Hong Kong. Lady YIM, who was going to let YEE-TAI follow MAN-HO to the south, seeking to ruin his chances of getting any credit in the future, changes her mind and instead lets her attendant, TUNG-SUET, sneak into the palace, hiding among the palace maid trainees. The palace maid trainees encounter the striking phenomenon of a solar eclipse, during which HA SIM has an accident, fortunately she is rescued by MAN-HO in the nick of time. Meanwhile, seeing that TUNG-SUET is hiding among the palace maid trainees, LAI GONG GONG cannot help feeling startled...
