Hong Kong girl Ruan Bei'er (Wan Bixia) and Taiwanese Liao Yuping (Jin Yanling) and Zhao Shuzhen (Tsai Chin) all have fame as their life goals, but reality proves that they are still far away from the life of being stars. The three of them met Zhang Shudong (Tony Leung), a young rice shop master, in a bar, and soon Ruan Beier developed a cohabitation relationship with him. Zhao Shuzhen's unexplained death attracted police detective Lan Zhenqiang (Chow Yun-fat), but his so-called investigation was just a formality. Liao Yuping could not face Zhao Shuzhen's death calmly. Her grief caused Zhang Shudong to comfort her body, which unexpectedly caused her to become pregnant. Later, Liao Yuping's shock failed to make Zhang Shudong understand the issue of choice, and they discovered that the so-called love for others was only love for themselves. Lan Zhenqiang's words before his death made them see themselves more clearly (having relationships with others means it is better to be bored with multiple people than with one person), but they still do not have the courage to face the hopeless days alone.
