Guangzhou is in a state of political turmoil in the 1930s. Gangsters are on a rampage and opium trading becomes rampant. As they watch the illicit profits from opium trading escalate, the government forms the Anti-Smoking Bureau under the guise of suppressing opium, but the bureau is under the influence of Cheng Long-kwan/鄭朗軍 (Elliot Ngok), the gang’s kingpin. His eldest daughter Cheng Kau-mui/鄭九妹 (Sheren Tang) who is an unscrupulous person soon returns from Shanghai to reap the rewards. Mui meticulously plans her every move.

On the other hand, Lau Sing/劉醒 (Wayne Lai) is the leader of the Criminal Investigation Team. He has worked hard all his life to ensure an easy trail for his family, especially for his bed-ridden younger sister Lau Ching/劉晴 (Fala Chen). Despite his hot temper, he values friendship and brotherhood more than anything else. Once, he almost sacrificed his life to help his timid teammate, Pai Kuat/排骨/唐吉 (Pierre Ngo).

Meanwhile, the Japanese army invades China and Canton falls into the hands of the Japanese. Mui enters the darkest time in her life when her aunt Cheng Long-hei/鄭朗喜 (Susan Tse) frames her.

This can be said to be the best drama produced in the year of 2010, as according to its ratings.

No Regrets fared an average ratings of 44 and peak point of 47 beating 2nd placing, Can't Buy Me Love & 3rd placing, Gun Metal Grey.

No Regrets is one of two grand TVB productions used to celebrate the channel's 43rd anniversary, the other being Gun Metal Grey, which will be reviewed on after this.

After winning the Best Actor and Best Actress award for Rosy Business巾帼枭雄, Wayne Lai黎耀祥 and Sheren Tang邓萃雯 successfully defended their titles based on their brilliant performance in this drama respectively. Lai became the second actor to win the Best Actor award consecutively after Gallen Lo罗嘉良 in 1997 and 1998, while Tang became the first actress in TVB to win the Best Actress award consecutively. Both of them became the first ever couple in TVB's history to win the awards consecutively based on the same drama franchise.

After sweeping the main acting awards in the 2010 TVB Anniversary Awards ceremony, No Regrets was expected to take home the Best Drama award. However, the award went to Can't Buy Me Love公主嫁到 unexpectedly, shocking everybody who was present. Complaints were lodged immediately after the ceremony ended, with many people saying that No Regrets should have won because of its high ratings as well as critical acclaim it had garnered during its broadcast. 

Ah well anyway, it has already won my '2010 Best Drama award'
