The haughty, jovial Jiang Bai Yu clashes with the bold, brave Wu Xia. Both have secrets: Bai Yu is looking into the unexplained murder of his father, while Wu Xia is searching for her long-lost older brother.

They will eventually discover that there is a connection between Bai Yu's father's murder and Wu Xia's brother's disappearance. By working together, they expose the plots of their shared enemy, preventing complete chaos and bringing peace back to the people of the Jiang Continent.
