No Regrets (Chinese: 巾幗梟雄之義海豪情) is a 2010 Hong Kong period television drama created and produced by Lee Tim-shing for TVB as a grand production. Set in Canton, Republic of China during the years of the Second Sino-Japanese War, it follows the lives of Lau Sing (Wayne Lai) and Cheng Kau-mui (Sheren Tang), who go against all odds to protect their families from the violence of war.

No Regrets is the companion piece of Rosy Business (2009) featuring majority of the same cast with a new storyline set in a different time period. It premiered on Jade and HD Jade networks from 18 October 2010 and aired for 32 episodes, with the final two episodes airing back-to-back on 28 November 2010. It was one of two anniversary dramas used to celebrate TVB's 43rd anniversary in 2010, the other being Gun Metal Grey. Both dramas were the first Hong Kong dramas to broadcast live with English subtitles. It stars TVB Best Actress winners Sheren Tang (2009/2010) who won for this series and its first instalment, Nancy Wu (2015/2016), Kara Wai (2019), Elena Kong (2022), and TVB Best Actor winner Wayne Lai (2009/2010/2012) who also won for this series and its first instalment.

The drama received critical acclaim during its broadcast, and is the second highest-rated television drama in 2010 in average live viewership. The final episode peaked at 47 TVRs with 3.43 million live viewers, becoming Hong Kong's most-watched episode of the 2010s decade and continues to hold the record in viewership on TVB's online service MyTV with an additional 3.7 million clicks days after its live broadcast.[1][2] No Regrets received multiple awards at the TVB Anniversary Awards sweeping the main acting categories, including Best Actor (Wayne Lai), Best Actress (Sheren Tang), Best Supporting Actor (Mak Cheung-ching), Best Supporting Actress (Fala Chen), and Most Improved Actor (Raymond Wong Ho-yin). With a score of 9.4 out of 10 on Douyin, the drama remains the highest-rated Hong Kong drama of all time with over 70,000 reviews on the platform. In 2022, the drama was selected as one of ten classic TVB dramas being honoured for a new joint Youku and TVB programme.[3]
