Bo, played by Stephy Tang, is a skilled expert in the realm of dating. During her friends' wedding, she shares her insights with those around her, especially at the celebration of Wing (Sammy Leung) and Ching (Linda Chung). However, the day takes an unexpected turn when she spots Bik Lin, her rival in love, and also encounters Michael (Philip Ng) for the first time. Following the event, she asks Michael for a ride home, setting the stage for a series of romantic complications.
Three months down the line, while perusing the shops, Bo notices Wing and Bik Lin across the street, the latter applying eye drops to Wing's eye. Later, at dinner at Ching's home, Bo waits for Wing, who disappointingly informs her that he dined out without her. This triggers Bo’s frustration, leading to a revealing encounter with her former boyfriend, Ryan (Alex Fong). Their past is revealed in a series of flashbacks illustrating their once-happy relationship, complete with Ryan's loving confession and Bo's reciprocation. Yet, a bitter breakup follows when Bo's new boyfriend, Vincent, confronts Ryan in a tumultuous moment, intensifying Bo's turmoil as Ryan curses her, hinting at a dark fate ahead.
Subsequently, Bo struggles with bad luck, suspecting that Ryan's curse might be weighing on her. She reconnects with him in an attempt for closure after a brief and confusing meeting, where Ryan is actually distracted by a phone call about his sister. Meanwhile, Wing confides to Bo about an affair with someone she knows, further complicating their dynamic. This leads to an accident in which Bo, while distracted, squirts detergent into her eyes, necessitating a last-minute trip to the hospital. Here, humor finds a place when a doctor amusingly replaces Bo's items with a box of Dragon's beard candy, introducing us to Joe (Hins Cheung), who subsequently asks Bo to dinner.
Their evening together unfolds with promise until an awkward encounter with Ryan interrupts. After a brief moment of romantic tension, Bo finds herself in a predicament, torn between her affection for Ryan and her budding relationship with Joe. Following a comical mishap, Bo is reminded of how quickly situations can change in a romantic entanglement.
As Bo navigates her emotions, she faces further complications when she runs into Ryan at karaoke. Confusion reigns again when Bo wakes up feeling "cursed" after seeing him once more. Their encounter leads to an accidental tumble down a slope, where Ryan’s earnestness shines through as he tries to reassure her, dismissing the idea of his curse. Yet, another painful misunderstanding arises when Bo witnesses a woman at Ryan's home, leading her to walk away feeling disheartened.
With the strain on her friendships intensifying, Bo's world flips when she loses both Ching and Mon. After a year's worth of turmoil, she errs on the side of hope when she bumps into Ching again, who encourages her to find closure by confronting Ryan. Bo embarks on a quest for reconciliation, professing her love but leaving empty-handed as Ryan operates in silence.
In a twist of fate, Bo is met with a heartfelt surprise as Ryan follows her moments later. In a candid moment on the stairs, Bo acknowledges her past selfishness and seeks a fresh start. Their interaction brings forward an unexpected revelation about the woman Bo saw, cementing her realization about the tangled web of love and lies that surrounded them. The chapter beautifully culminates in a scene where, at a restaurant, Bo’s true connection with Ryan comes to light. Ultimately, it resonates with Bo's earlier words, reflecting that love often involves deception and misinterpretation, exemplified by her saying, > "sometimes the things you see might not be real and the things that are real you might not see."
Through trials, misunderstandings, and emotional growth, Bo's journey reveals the complexity of love, paving the way for hopeful new beginnings.
