But unfortunately, the high ranking official accuses Emperor Hin of selling Country's treasures. The official blackmails Emperor Hin into giving him the power of constructing the Royal War ship. After the official gets what he wanted, he still refuses to let Jessica go. Nick is angry at the Emperor for not being able to help Jessica. Nick decides to rescue Jessica himself. But Nick has to run away, cos he got spotted, so Nick has to run away and Jessica shows her confidence in Nick, being sure Nick will escape. Actually, Nick escaped cos Shirley helped him. She now lives with the official, because of his money. When she heard Nick wants to rescue Jessica, she leaves him in the streets. She hates Jessica a lot, back to the official house, she let snakes in Jessica’s cell, fortunately, Yuen King Dan kills them.

Nick’s father and father-in-law are in the capital, his father-in-law wants to transfer their business to the capital. Nick then told them what happened and they search for a solution. Finally, they came up with a solution. Years before, Emperor Hin’s grandfather has asked to Jessica’s business to build 4 statues, now known as « Four Sacred Statues ». Because he was satisfied of their work, he named the business has number 1 in the world. He even left scriptures, and because those scriptures, the official has to let Jessica go. Then Emperor Hin charges Jessica and Nick to find the « Four Sacred Statues », because is contain her very important secret. As for the official, he wants to find the statues too, because he knows that this secret could affect Emperor Hin and it could let him become king.

Nick and Jessica investigate a long time before figured out where the « Four Sacred Statues » were hidden. Then they go to search for it, but they are followed by the official’s men. When they found the statues, they are only able to hide the 4th statue b/c it was the most lighter. As for the 3 others statues, they are taking by the official’s men. But turns out under the statues, there’s scriptures and it got printed on the floor so Nick and Jessica brings it back to the Emperor Hin. The scriptures tell the story of Emperor Hin’s grandfather fighting for the throne and why he was afraid of his son becoming Emperor. Nick and Jessica finally discover the rest of the secret in the 4th statue. Differently from the 3 other statues, the scriptures aren’t under the statue, but inside of it. Anyway, it tells that Emperor Hin’s father wasn’t a Manchu, but Han people. When Emperor Hin discovered the secret, he asked Nick and jessica to destroy the statue, cos this secret could make him loose the throne.

Because of money, Shirley has agreed to help the official to find the 4th statue. She threatened Nick to give her the statue, if not, she’ll tell Jessica that they slept together. So Nick has to make a plan to give Shirley the statue cos he don’t want Jessica to know. He tricks them to have a false statue, but it ended up the official and Shirley had the real statue. Also, Jessica gotten suspicious at Nick cos she was acting weird, so she had followed him. She got spotted by Shirley, so Shirley acted like if Nick was her lover and they were running away... Anyway, Nick got slapped and Jessica fainted. Yuen King Dan brought her back home and Nick was left away, cos even Chin Ka Lok thought that Nick treated Shirley badly, so he got angry at Nick.

Jessica has to face the Emperor. When he asked her if the task was completed and she answered no, he got angry. Then Nick appeared and he would have gotten executed, but the official appeared and saved him. Then the official forces Nick and Jessica to end their relationship, so Jessica agreed by drinking the wine. From then on, Nick and her weren’t related anymore. She did so, because she didn’t want Nick to get executed. B/c if they weren’t related anymore, he wouldn’t be related to her family business.

At the official’s house, Nick asked him why he had rescued him. The official forced Nick to reveal where the scriptures were in the 4th statue. Nick had no choice to help the official, cos turned out in the wine Jessica has drunk, there was poison. And the antidote was hidden in his necklace, so if Nick wanted to rescue Jessica, he had no choice than helping him. As for Jessica, well she is pregnant, that’s why she fainted. When Chin Ka lok heard about her pregnancy, he went to the official’s house to announce the news to Nick, but Nick has to act coolness. Then, Chin Ka Lok got spotted, but he got rescued by Yeun King Dan. However, because of saving him, Yuen King Dan got injured and she is trapped in the official house. She hide herself in Shirley’s room and is surprised that shirley rescued her. They had a talk about what is true love. After, Shirley go to the official’s room.

Next day, on the court, Jessica presented another 4th statue, telling the one of the official is a false one. Then, Nick appeared and they got an argument and Nick wins, so Jessica left the court. Nick has to prove which one is the true statue, but turned out that in Nick’s trick, the official statue is also a false one. Then, they read the secret in Jessica statue and is say that the Emperor knew that some bad minister would create problem and plan to take the throne over... Then, in a poem, they figured out that it was the official who was the bad minister. The official was really angry cos Nick has betrayed him and tell him that Jessica will die. But Jessica appeared and eat the antidote in front of him : Shirley went to the official room and slept with him. He figured out she was still a virgin, that she never slept with Nick. To reward her, he told her to choose anything and she chose the necklace, containing the antidote. Yuen King Dan was standing outside of the room and heard everything. Shirley asked to meet Jessica and she gave her the antidote. So Jessica tries to meet Nick and told them for their plan, about creating another statue. Finally, the official got executed.

As for Shirley, she decided to leave for another land. Just before, she has a talk with Chin Ka lok and told him that Yuen King Dan was really concerned about him. Chin Ka lok answered he had understand. Even if Yuen King Dan wasn’t as pretty as her, she was the one who cared for her and he would never forget. Actually, Yuen King Dan had listened to their conversation... then Shirley left. On the boat, she met a person that looks exactly like Jessica when she was dressed as a man, except this guy has a mustache. And then, we see both of them, standing on the boat.

As for Chin Ka Lok and Yuen King Dan, Chin Ka lok admit his love and asked Yuen King Dan to marry him. She answered that she’ll answer him when Jessica will have give birth to her child.

Few months later, it’s one month anniversary of Nick’s children. Jessica has given birth to twins... the 2 grandfathers are arguing about which one is their grandson, cos one has Nick’s family name, the other, Jessica’s family name.
