About This Novel
In the 1930s, banditry was rampant in southeastern Guizhou. Rural pharmacist Meng Lao led the villagers to resist bandit exploitation and was brutally killed. His daughter Meng Caihong rose up to resist, was hunted down, and was rescued. She stayed at the home of bodyguard Luo Qiye and changed her name to Luo Honggu. She studied martial arts with Luo Qiye, spent time with fellow apprentices Long Hu and Qiangzi, and fell in love with Qiangzi. An unreasonable disaster caused by a bandit robbery broke the peace, tore apart the relationship, and pushed the 18-year-old Honggu into a dangerous situation. Zhao Jian, an underground worker of the Communist Party, rescued her in time, and discovered Honggu's pursuit of justice and bright temperament and extraordinary courage and strategy. He deeply appreciated and guided her carefully. In times of turmoil and chaos, various reactionary forces are scheming and running rampant. In order to "run the place" and please the local richest tycoon Zhu Shinan, they devise a conspiracy to force Honggu to marry the old Zhu Shinan at a young age in order to save Luo Qiye and Qiangzi.
