editSun Wu Di (Nicholas Teo) and his father were kidnapped when Wu Di (which means "Invincible") was still a child. As an adult, it is very hard for him to trust the people around him, despite the fact that he has a girlfriend, Zu An (Hong Xiao Ling). He thinks very highly of himself and very lowly of those around him.
