Thief Tai () was pursued by Steve (), a rich boy, and took the heirloom as a marriage proposal gift. The thief who was fascinated by jewelry agreed to get married. Steve's mother, Mrs. Allen (Hu Yanni), sees through that the thief loves jewelry more than her own son, so she sets strict conditions, and only when the thief strictly abides by it can she get the jewelry. The thief promised on the surface, but secretly planned to steal jewelry. Unexpectedly, another group of people suddenly appeared and took the jewelry in the same way! This man is the ex-husband of the thief (Andy Lau). The thief came all the way to Italy to settle accounts with the thief.
When they first met after their divorce, the thief still loved his ex-wife and deliberately used the game to prevent her from stealing too much, so that she could win in exchange for the whereabouts of the jewelry. The thief knows each other's motives, but he is also willing to fight with him. Mrs Allen lost her family heirloom and was identified as a thief. She sent a private detective (Lin Jiadong) to investigate the thief thoroughly.
The thieves returned to Hong Kong to take the old road and rekindle their love. Unexpectedly, the thief still refused to reveal the whereabouts of the jewels. The thief can only fabricate a lie that he is terminally ill and force the thief to tell the truth. The thief took this letter for granted and was very nervous. The thief asked about the whereabouts of the jewelry, but the thief suddenly claimed that he was terminally ill. When the thief got the jewels, he found that they were fake and left angrily.
The thief didn't want to give up the jewelry, so he went to the thief to continue the game. Unexpectedly, the thief suddenly disappeared mysteriously and arranged to transfer all his property to her. The thief began to believe that the thief was really terminally ill, and even more suspected that he was dead.
