A Million Treasures (Chinese: 百万宝) is a Singaporean Chinese drama that was telecast on Singapore's free-to-air channel, MediaCorp TV Channel 8. This show, consisting of 25 episodes, made its debut on 4 December 2006 and ended its run on 5 January 2007. The theme song of the show is sung by Mi Lu Bing.
Bai Xingxing (Zoe Tay) is smart and has always done well in her studies. She is steady, driven and dares to take up a challenge. When all her peers are busy with romantic pursuits, Xingxing and her boyfriend Tang Xiyao (Zhang Wenxiang) devote their time and efforts to prepare for their careers after graduation. Xingxing is at the peak of her life - at the young age of 26, she makes her first one million dollars. She sets up franchises, drives a luxury car, and invests in stock and property, however, she owes a large part of her success to Xiyao.
Although Xingxing has the drive and guts, she is too quick-tempered and is not detailed-oriented. Xiyao, on the other hand, is the opposite of Xingxing. Meticulous and frugal in nature, Xiyao’s strength makes up for Xingxing’s shortcomings.
As the saying goes, familiarity breeds contempt. In the case of Xingxing, she increasingly finds that Xiyao lacks the drive and ambition to make it big. Thinking that Xingxing has found a new love interest, Xiyao leaves without a word. Without his help, the reckless Xingxing makes a rash and fatal decision that leads to the closing down of her chain of shops. Her wealth dwindles swiftly and in the end, she has to file for bankruptcy.
Things begin to go downhill for the penniless Xingxing. The other person who finds himself in the same predicament is Ma Da (Li Nanxing). Ma Da originally works as a chef in a big hotel. The brash and arrogant man is unable to accept criticism and bears a grudge against Xingxing because she once spoke badly of his chicken rice. Later, Ma Da finds himself fired from his job and blames Xingxing for his woes. In return, Xingxing also looks upon Ma Da as her nemesis.
With financial help from Liang Liang (Priscelia Chan), who is Xingxing's younger sister and De Hua (Rayson Tan), who is Liang Liang's boyfriend, Xingxing sets up a mobile fast food wagon business. Unfortunately, she is met with strong competition as there is also another operator at the same location.
This other food wagon is managed by a couple in their 20s: Xiao Bao (Felicia Chin) and Ma Lu (Kang Chengxi) who is Ma Da’s brother. Although the couple appears laidback and hippy, they can be unscrupulous and do not hesitate to compete head-on with Xingxing for business. Conflicts between both parties ensue.
