生在人間，死下冥界，兩者之間，其實並無分界。不為生喜，不以死悲，一切生死皆是命。茫茫人海，能相遇，是緣；可相守，是份，只可惜是緣是份半點不由人……
相逢在危難 結緣於生死
葉常綠(黃德斌飾)為朝廷劊子手，需在秋分前赴京上任，卻在路途上遇到一列流放邊疆的隊伍，其中一名脫逃孕婦阮素心(姚子羚飾)赫然是恩公呂大人的小妾。數月前，呂大人因冒死進諫而被斬，而執行斬首之責的正是常綠﹗常綠本已為此極之內疚，如今又見素心懷有呂大人的骨肉，腹大便便，因而誓要保護素心以贖其過。

因緣際遇下，常綠帶著素心寄居在京城最出名的穩婆花蕊紅(邵美琪飾)家裡。蕊紅察覺常綠為人冷酷，行徑古怪，一度懷疑他欲謀財害命。正當蕊紅感到危機重重之際，常綠先發制人迫令蕊紅替自己保守關於素心的秘密，蕊紅礙於眼前形勢無奈答允。
某夜，常綠見蕊紅遲遲未歸，怕蕊紅因此事受牽連，於是帶著鬼頭刀上山尋找。常綠找到蕊紅之餘，還意外發現不知名孕婦被埋屍山上。該女子雖已氣絕，惟蕊紅判定胎兒仍有活命機會，遂以素心的秘密脅逼常綠劏肚救胎。常綠只好揮下鬼頭刀，剖腹取子。
相識是命運 相知是緣份
常綠心知此事可疑，於是暗地查探，蕊紅則悉心照顧初生嬰孩，二人俱不知自己一直被朝廷侍衛司馬丑(陳山聰飾)監視著。此時，蕊紅忽然被召入宮，替萬貴妃(康華飾)接生，蕊紅明知此舉會觸怒吳皇后(沈卓盈飾)，但想到人命攸關，便毅然前往。最終，萬貴妃母子平安，蕊紅亦因此與萬貴妃成為莫逆之交。

常綠遇上阿丑暗中派來的男子，訛稱是嬰孩父親，要把嬰孩接走，蕊紅縱然不捨，亦無奈接受。其後，小混混赤知秋(楊明飾)懇求常綠收他為徒做劊子手，常綠見知秋不學無術遲疑之際，知秋卻為救心儀的祝小滿(龔嘉欣飾)錯手殺人，後來更越獄逃走，常綠不禁黯然。
隨著相處時間日久，蕊紅與常綠共歷重重難關，相知更深。在偶然的機會下，蕊紅得知常綠成為劊子手的因由，以及其昔日的慘痛經歷，明白如今眼前人的冷酷並非本性，不禁對常綠由憐生愛。
生死一念間 相守到彼岸
正當常綠及蕊紅要交還嬰孩之際，自稱其親父的男子突然被殺。二人大驚，帶同嬰孩逃離京城，卻被好友墨守成(李霖恩飾)出賣。二人沿途慘遭追殺，幸得阿丑出現相救，二人並從阿丑口中驚悉嬰孩乃皇上血脈。蕊紅怕惹禍，本想一走了之，但常綠卻堅持送皇子回宮。蕊紅決定生死相隨，跟常綠一起冒險回京。

蕊紅入宮，本欲找萬貴妃相助，卻漸漸發覺萬貴妃正是謀害皇裔的終極主腦，不敢貿然交出嬰孩。與此同時，皇帝(張景淳飾)亦發現自己服下的藥湯竟被下毒，對萬貴妃起疑，惟基於對萬貴妃的依戀，仍願相信萬氏所言，確信是吳皇后策動陰謀，更毅然廢后。
蕊紅因識破萬貴妃的真面目，而遭其誣陷，判處斬刑﹗常綠為堅守承諾，要與蕊紅相伴到盡頭，竟毅然自薦執刑……
刀下不留人 歲月不留情
人生在世，爭名逐利，貪戀紅塵，卻不知，時辰到時，誰也帶不走名利愛恨。煙花易冷，人事易分；生死彼岸，遙遙對望，歷盡凡塵一生，方明白，生死自在，剎那原是永恆。
