Based on the (Karma after Rebirth, Zai Sheng Yuan) of Chen Duan Sheng, a female Qing Dynasty playwright, Only You depicts a versatile and dutiful daughter in the form of Meng Li Jun (Connie Chan). She and old family friend Huang Fu Shao Hua (Adam Cheng) have been in love since childhood and are engaged to each other.
Li Jun’s father General Meng Shi Yuan has been framed by the treacherous court official LiuKui. In consequence, Emperor Cheng orders the beheading of her parents and the deportation of Li Jun to the palace as a maid. In despair, Li Jun, disguised as a man, slips into the capital and plots her revenge.

Empress Hua Xi has finally conceived and Huang Fu Shao Hua has secured a great victory against enemy forces.
At court, Shao Hua is astonished to discover that Jun Li very much resembles his fiancee Li Jun. Li Jun, however, dare not to reveal her true identity, and resists all of Shao Hua’s attempts to unravel the truth. Meanwhile, the Emperor has been paying close attention to this ‘eccentricity’…
