Iron Bone and Orchid Heart

Lai Lan is the only child of millionaire Tsoi Chi Sin. She is beautiful and free-spirited, never lacking in suitors. One day, Lai Lan and a suitor Henry Wong are mugged. Henry runs away and Lai Lan is saved by a blacksmith, Cheung Kwok Keung. Later, Kwok Keung saves the life of Lai Lan again when Lai Lan is thrown into the water during a boat trip. The philanthropic Lai Lan establishes a kindergarten for poor children, but when the kindergarten catches fire, and Lai Lan is trapped, it is Kwok Keung again who saves her life. Lai Lan falls in love with Kwok Keung. She sends a matchmaker to Kwok Keung's parents. However, knowing that their social status is incompatible, Kwok Keung rejects her overtures of marriage. The rejected Lai Lan falls ill. Touched by her feelings, Kwok Keung finally agrees to be her husband.
