AKA "Si Yan Gui". In the past few years, concubine's have been a big social issue in Hong Kong and inspired a string of movies on this topic in the mid-90s. 'Your Sweetheart is My Concubine' starts with the gathering of 4 ladies -- Mei-heung, Shan and the other two uncredited girls talking about concubines. Shan and her boyfriend Manic run a private detective agency. Mei-heung is a housewife married to CHEUNG.
One day, while Shan and Manic are walking around, they see CHEUNG with the big-breasted YAM Foon. They follow him and learn that YAM Foon has had an affair with CHEUNG for years, but CHEUNG refused to get divorced to marry her. So Foon tries to make force CHEUNG into divorce. She asks her friend to grab Mei-heung, knock her out and take nude photos of her. They blackmail Mei-heung with the threat of sending a copy to CHEUNG. Needless to say, Mei-heung seeks help from Manic and Shan.
The change of director has not brought a change in the weird style of Winners' productions. Throughout 'Your Sweetheart is My Concubine' there are still several love scenes completely unrelated to the movie. Some of them last for more than 5 minutes.
