The Awakening Story

After Shuet wakes up from her coma, it is slowly revealed that 16 years earlier, Shuet was trying to leave her husband and family because of stress and loneliness. The catalyst was ultimately caused by her eldest daughter, Hing Ka (Maggie Yee), who threw a tantrum about getting a cake. As Shuet was about to leave, she realized then that she could not live without her family and decided to return. After purchasing the cake for Hing Ga, she was hit by a car which had led to the 16-year coma.

Meanwhile, the relationship between Shuet and her husband, Philip (Damian Lau), had always been on the verge of falling apart, one of the reasons being their differing opinions. The youngest son, Hing Chai (Patrick Tang), wanted to become a professional hairstylist: Philip opposed to the idea, but Shuet thought it best for her son to follow his dreams. The youngest daughter, Hung Yun (Tavia Yeung), wanted to date and marry Lok (Ellesmere Choi): because Lok was unemployed, Philip did not approve of him, but Shuet gave her blessing to the couple.

In the midst of everything, Philip was having an affair with a woman from his company. Shuet eventually finds out about her husband's infidelity, and divorces him. Hing Ga, unable to forgive herself that she was the cause of her mother's coma, blames herself for everything that has happened. Shuet reassures and encourages Hing Ga that she will be alright.

Shuet resolves to become strong and independent, and starts a period of transition for herself. She starts to learn about technology and business, and goes job hunting to get experience, even going so far as to accept a cleaning maid job. Shuet gains more knowledge within this process and gets an extreme makeover for herself, and succeeds in landing a prosperous job. She manages to surpass her ex-husband, who has fallen in love with her again...
