Synopsis
Setting out on their quest for fame and fortune, three female TV stars of different backgrounds are resolved to achieve their dreams at any price. But after so many ups and downs in their acting careers, they finally come to discover the secret of true beauty.
Driven by sheer vanity, KO CHING MAN (Kate Tsui) takes part in a beauty pageant despite the strong opposition of her mother, a long-retired actress named CHEUNG LAI HUNG (Yuen King Tan), and leaps to stardom soon after winning the championship. Rising actress TONG HO YEE (Sharon Chan) feels threatened by MAN and decides to join another TV station to look for a breakthrough, which is not supported by her production assistant friend DEACON CHONG (Chris Lai Lok Yi). Leading actress KEUNG CHIN FUNG (Christine Ng) used to be a bitter rival of HUNG. Realizing that MAN’s acting career is taking off at top speed, FUNG means to approach her as a mentor, through which she hopes to drag the girl into her moral downfall bit by bit. Desperate for everlasting beauty, FUNG injects herself with illegal substances in an attempt to slow the aging process. But things do not really go as planned and her face starts to change in shape. Her advertising deal with a cosmetics company is subsequently canceled and MAN has soon replaced her as the new product endorser. Even the Award of Best Actress, which she has won for years, is slipping out of her hands. To vent her anger, FUNG seeks to extract revenge on MAN, finally plunging her into a world of pain and trouble.

父子分歧 常生龃龉
  楚帆和楚慈两父子,可谓是一对活冤家。父亲帆古道热肠、怀缅六十年代的浓厚人情;儿子慈则口甜舌滑,追求名利,热爱新潮,但对人却漠不关心。两父子完全南辕北辙,因此常生龃龉。
  慈替烟草商当代言人,凭俐牙利齿,甚得老细赏识。帆却不喜,认为不应为高薪厚职就宣扬吸烟。慈亦不满意帆死守着生意一般的老旧云吞面档,纵容老伙记成拾义偷懒,又让老友牛正荣免费打趸。为免争吵,慈更一早搬出,父子关系甚是冷淡。
  及后帆得了老人痴呆,慈不得不搬回来照顾老父,但二人磨擦不断。帆知道慈得到城中巨富程坤棉赏识,邀请跳槽,竟蓄意搞破坏,令慈气结不已。慈正没帆奈何,此时见到老父日渐丧失生活能力,有心将云吞铺结业,让帆入住老人院。帆却发现慈计划,不禁心伤。
