The Season of Fate (Traditional Chinese: 五味人生, literally The Five Tastes of Life) is an upcoming 2010 TVB television drama from Hong Kong produced by Nelson Cheung.

The poor Lin Sheung-chun (Esther Kwan) is sold to Kwan’s family as a concubine but her husband passes away accidentally. Losing a husband has caused the first wife Wong Yeuk-lam (Michelle Yim) to have erratic behavior. Chun has no choice but to take up all family responsibilities including operation of the family’s bistro. During this time, Ma Wing-ching (Roger Kwok) and Lei Shi-mui (Regen Cheung) are swindling around, with their schemes getting unveiled by Chun. However, Lam mistakenly recognizes Ching as her senior apprentice and she runs after him all the time. Ching seizes the chance to swindle money by working at the bistro.

All of a sudden, Fung’s second senior apprentice Yam Fei-yeung (Lawrence Ng Wai-Kwok) returns home with his foster son Yam Shing-tin (Oscar Leung).
