Twenty-eight years ago, Liang Jie gives birth to a baby boy nicknamed “Little Bean Jelly” while serving a prison sentence for killing a gang boss. When the child turns one year old, mother and son are separated and lose all contact. Years later, Green Dragon Group’s henchman “Ghost” (real name Ah Gui) is ambushed during a mission and loses his sight. When Liang is finally released from prison, she crosses paths with the blind Ghost. Unbeknownst to either of them, Ghost has been sent by the gang to pose as Liang’s long-lost son so he can assassinate her. However, as they spend time together, Liang believes Ghost is her child and tries to make amends and rebuild their mother-son relationship. Through an unexpected series of events, this mother and son figure help each other find redemption and return to the right path.
