Sweetness in the Salt

The big salt merchant in Yangzhou, WU KIN, sells salt tickets (official certificate for transporting salt) to small salt merchants.

SUET pretends to be the daughter of Dr LUI and she follows HIN all the way to Yangzhou.

SUET doesn't want to take everything for granted and she voluntarily asks to work in WU KIN's salt store.

KIN's eldest daughter TING PIK's ex-boyfriend CHOI CHI ON is a salt merchant.

SUET sneaks into ON's home. YUEN discovers her but he lets her go.

LUNG wants YUEN to return to work but YUEN resorts to drink all the time.

YUEN distributes the salt they collected from the salt smugglers to the villagers.

SUET rescues YUEN but she feels uneasy after it. HIN tries to cheer her up by bringing a large group of fireflies to the garden.

The remnants of Yick's Fort kidnap HIN and they ask for 200 thousand dollars from KIN.

HIN helps SUET to take care of HUNG's injury and HUNG is very grateful.

Recommended by FAI, YUEN becomes a guard at HIN's house.

In the evening, an assassin sneaks into WU's house to kill HIN. YUEN and SUET try to fight with the assassin but they fail.

YUEN and SUET discover that Dr LUI has died from epidemic disease. YUEN is infected by the disease as well.

KIN is enraged and he blames ON angrily. He even hit the servant FONG SING. Some government officials suddenly arrive at KIN's house.

PIK is kicked out from the wedding ceremony. CHING follows her and he discovers that she wants to commit suicide.

SUET suggests marrying HIN and KIN agrees.

YUEN doesn't know if he should help SUET. During the time, he suddenly meets the miserable FAI.

SUET meets a salt smuggler CHOI NGAN FA who is a kung-fu master. In order to protect everybody, SUET fights with FA alone.

SUET besieges FA successfully but FA escapes eventually by abducting HUNG. CHING continues to provoke LUNG and LUNG recruits some gangsters to beat him on the street.
