Encyclopedia
The Gem of Life was a TVB grand production drama, that broadcast between October 2008 and February 2009. The series was specifically filmed to celebrate TVB's 41st Anniversary. The series was filmed in many locations apart from Hong Kong, including Tibet, Taiwan and France.
The story centers around three sisters: Sylvia (oldest), Constance, and Jessica (youngest).
The series begins with Constance flying home on a plane. Her mother, SiuYau, had previously objected to her marriage so she eloped to Canada with her husband. However, Frankie is now financially unwell and wants a divorce. In order to keep him Constance hopes that Jessica, the wealthiest of the sisters, will lend her money so that her husband can open a business. What Jessica's family didn't know was that her husband, Patrick, is facing losses in their company. Sylvia and her husband Tim are also facing problems, their marriage is falling apart but Sylvia tries to keep it a secret from her family.
Jessica writes Constance a cheque so that she will leave. Their mother not only finds out Constance has returned, but that her Frankie is a cheater, and so she interferes. The cheque bounces, the adultery is exposed, and Constance is forced to accept divorce. Meanwhile, Tim is discovered to have another family, and SiuYau also exposes this adultery, causing Sylvia to divorce her husband as well. SiuYau is disappointed at the failures of her daughter's marriages, and praises Jessica for not only marrying well, but rich. Hearing this, Jessica helps Patrick seek rich tycoon Terrence out in hopes that he will invest in their company. Terrence initially agrees but backs out the last minute. As Jessica and her husband panic, Calvin interferes. Like Terrence, Calvin owns an entertainment company and there has been a long rivalry between them as Calvin is disgusted by people who are born into the rich life, while he had to struggle in the streets before rising. Although he personally sets out to antagonize Terrence, Calvin secretly works for Martin, Terrence's father who wants his son to learn lessons in business as well as in life. Terrence and Calvin agree on a bet, if Terrence loses a boat race then he will have to invest in Patrick's failing company.
Unable to wait for the results, Jessica and her husband tricked Jessica's father into lending them all his money. Patrick then fakes death to stall his creditors, leaving Jessica with the financial burden. Despite the fact that Jessica is about to be bankrupted she continues to spend and go to balls. Constance catches her spending money at an expensive clothing shop and attempts to stop her from spending. She accuses Jessica of tricking her own family for money, and Terrence hears them bickering. Jessica leaves Constance in tears, questioning the importance of wealth she sees an expensive dress and tries it on. When she is about to leave the sales lady informs her that Terrence had bought the dress for her. Knowing Terrence is a player, Constance chooses not to dwell on it. Later, on the day of the boat race Calvin is disqualified for cheating and Terrence wins. Wanting to help Jessica, kindhearted Constance seeks Terrence and tries to convince him to invest in her sister's company. He ignores her request, and she ends up following him to his boat. However, there's a storm and she ends up stuck on his boat for 7 days. The magazines quickly publish the story, and she catches the attention of Derek, a poor man who falls passionately for her.
Bankrupted, Jessica moves back home with her family. She ends up working for Melissa who is close friend of Martin. One of her first major job assignments is to host the wives of some wealthy husbands. One of them, Mandy, plays a prank on Jessica, getting her to go on a boat ride with them and then leaving Jessica in the caves. Martin overhears Mandy talking about it and goes there to rescue her, and the two began dating even though he's older than her father. Nevertheless Jessica is happy, she had purposely went along with the wives' prank in order to catch Martin's attention.
To sign a contract with a celebrity Terrence has been courting, Calvin hires Sylvia to work for him. Sylvia initially thinks Calvin is a jerk after he pranks her several times, bully other employees, and compete with Terrence to an unreasonable level. However, her image of Calvin changes when Sunny, Kalvin's best friend and business partner, tells her more of his past. After learning that Calvin had to endure the mockery of his wealthy clients to retrieve a project she had wanted for her, Sylvia and Calvin become a couple. Almost as soon as it becomes public, Sunny quits his job. Employees gossip about how he must be jealous, given Sylvia's and Sunny's close friendship before she got together with Calvin, they speculate Sunny must have loved her. However, Sylvia finds out that Sunny is actually gay and secretly in love with Calvin, he feels ashamed and wants to leave. Sylvia assures him that he shouldn't, because Calvin would miss his best friend.
Terrence meets Constance at a cafe near the jewellery shop where she works as a sales assistant. Convincing her to stop focusing on the past and move forward, Constance accepts him as a friend and starts to date Derek, who has risen in wealth thanks to Calvin's sponsorship. Terrence offered her to be his secretary but she declined. When Constance's mother finds out she tries to convince Constance to work there, but emotions wasn't the biggest problem Constance face - it is Elise, a spoiled but cunning woman who also happened to be one of Terrence's closest friends. After nearly hitting Constance with her car, Derek sets it on fire, creating in Elise a grudge against Constance. She sends Derek to jail and started spreading claims that Constance's family is greedy for money and connections to the upper class. To confirm those claims, she tells Terrence that Constance's sister Jessica is dating his father for money. Terrence is already biased against Jessica ever since he overheard how she had tricked her own family for money, so he starts interfering in the relationship. When he tells Constance this, she defends her sister and becomes upset at Terrence. Not wanting to work for him, she finds a job in a Japanese company, but some time later this company is acquired by Terrence's.
For all of Elise's attempts, Jessica introduces Martin to her family anyways and her father is extremely upset. He tells his wife that he does not want Jessica's lover to be someone who is older than he is, the thought of that makes him sick. Eventually Melissa tells Martin that Jessica had set herself up to be rescued by him that time she was abandoned in the caves, so Martin breaks up with Jessica.
Devastated, Jessica leaves the country for a business trip and Constance starts work as Terrence's secretary. One day, Terrence confesses his feelings to Constance but she avoided him by saying she still remembers her husband and Derek. After much persistence, they start dating. However, at almost the same time Jessica returns with Martin. It was revealed that they had gotten married. This time when the parents find out it is SiuYau who storms away.
