Following three previous divorces, Sam encounters Milan, portrayed by Shu Qi, while in Macau. Milan works as a part-time poker dealer and a cabaret dancer. Despite their differing social backgrounds, the two begin a romantic relationship that attracts significant public and media scrutiny.

As the relationship progresses, Milan is introduced to high-society life. However, Sam becomes apprehensive about her intentions, leading him to request a prenuptial agreement. This action causes a conflict between the couple, as Milan seeks a genuine romantic connection rather than financial gain, ultimately leading her to leave him after discovering the document.
