So Chun Ching broke up with him and married someone else, leaving Hong in a state of depression. Recognized for his superior ability to react quickly to neutralized the assailant in a hostage situation, Hong was invited to take part in a secret time-travel experiment in exchange for the opportunity to travel back in time to save his relationship with Chun Ching. Hong's task was to travel back to the year 247 BC, to the Qin Dynasty, to take a photograph of the coronation of Ying Ching (Raymond Lam Fung 林峯). But an error sent Hong three years farther back in time than originally planned.
