The Kam family owns a restaurant in town, famous for its noodles, which are notoriously cooked by Nim Chi's arrogant younger brother, Yau Nim Fu. The bubbly Princess Sam Tin, the emperor's favorite and only child, is of age to marry, and the emperor decides to hold a contest for scholars around the capital city to compete for her hand in marriage. Nim Chi's oldest son Kam Nin, a young and intelligent fifth-ranking scholar-official working for the royal court, is forced to join the contest. Nin's future career would have remained stable if it wasn't for his frank tongue; in the contest, he writes a poem denouncing the princess for being too childish and oblivious to hardships of the common people. This angers the princess, and she demotes him to a lowly ninth-ranking official, sending him back to his hometown Chi Lik Kung Town to be the town's magistrate. The emperor soon arranges Princess Sam Tin to marry the Persian prince after failing to find a suitor for her in the contest. Displeased, she and her eunuch Siu Yuen escapes the palace and ends up in Chi Lik Kung Town.

Seeing that the Kam household is a good place for shelter, she and Siu Yuen decide to stay in the Kam household until it's safe for them to leave, simultaneously completing a chain of community labor in Nin's office as a punishment for destroying government property.

This series stars Annie Man, Benny Chan, Tavia Yeung, Evergreen Mak, and others. It starts off pretty good. Benny was adopted into a poor home. His brother (Evergreen Mak) is very mean to him and is a very lazy person. They meet Annie (a fairy from heaven) and becomes friends. Annie was sent down to earth to put the prince, who got lost in a war when his grandmother took the throne from her husband, back at the throne as king. She has to get this dragon pearl to put back in a dragon's mouth. Benny is the real prince but his brother pretends to be the prince at first so that he doesn't have to do work. Annie and Benny always fight but soon they start liking each other. Annie then finds out that Benny is the real prince and took Benny to the palace to meet his grandmother. His grandmother was taken over by this monster/demon guy so she is now evil. Annie found out and told Benny but he said his grandmother could never be a monster and insulted annie and slapped her. The monster then tricked her and sent her back to the heavens. Benny got married to Tavia even though he loves Annie. Then Benny and Tavia found out that his grandmother is really a monster and Benny felt sad for yelling at Annie. Meanwhile, Benny and Tavia try to defeat the monster but has no luck. Annie comes back as another person and Benny tells her his true feelings for Annie, not knowing it was her in another person's body. They end up defeating the monster but Tavia died. Annie has to go back to heaven because the god of heaven has another job for her to do so she gives Benny a jade bracelet. About 10 years later, Benny has to get married. He has a bunch of girls come in his room and he has to pick one. He saw a girl named "jade bracelet" and he thought that was Annie because the bracelet she gave him was jade. It wasn't her but then a girl comes in and says sorry for being late. It was Annie!! And that was the end. This is a great series to me. Annie was really cute and Tavia did a great job. But the ending has a lot of people arguing. Some people say annie reincarnated to be that girl while some other people say she didn't, and that that was her, just in another name. I believe that was her in another name. Because throughout the series, Annie has this tap on the head she gives to Benny and at the end, when she walked in, she gave him a tap. If it was a reincarnated girl, then how dare she do that to the king? And I believe that Annie's mission for the God of the Heavens was to spend 10 years without Benny for the trouble she has caused down on earth. Well anyhow, I think Annie didn't reincarnate. Overall, this is a great series, very enjoyable and I wished it was longer!
