In the martial arts world, two major developments occurred. First, the new Wulin Master, Jiang Qing Liu, is attacked at his ceremony, causing him to lose his inner strength. Second, the Demon Lord Bo Ye Jing Xing escapes captivity after being imprisoned for 11 years by the former Wulin Master Jiang Yin Tian. While everyone is in search of the Demon Lord, little do they know that he is hiding in Qing Liu’s bed chamber. Bo Ye Jing Xing will help Qing Liu recover his inner strength while he stays with him.
Many days later, a beautiful woman is delivered to Qing Liu in a brocade box along with a manual and some rouge pills. Qing Liu pretends to be enamoured with her and keeps her as his concubine. The Jiang family and servants were perplexed by the demure-looking but uncouth woman. Bo Ye Jing Xing strives to uncover the truth about a massacre thirty years ago while entering into a romance with the young Qing Liu. As the truth resurfaces, so does the killer that Bo Ye Jing Xing has been searching for after all these years…
