During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a rumor in the world that there was a priceless black gemstone. As long as this black gemstone is dripped with the blood of a destined person, it will emit beams of colorful firelight. As long as people inhale all these strange firelights into their own bodies, they will obtain a mysterious power of nature, which can keep people young forever and make them immune to all diseases.
Because of this priceless black gemstone, Wu Xingchi lurked in the mansion of the prefect Li Yi and took the opportunity to snatch it away. Unfortunately, what he grabbed was a fake black gemstone. Fetching water from a bamboo basket is all in vain. He didn't even get hold of the two black gemstones, the real and fake ones by Wu Xingchi. They disappeared inexplicably and their whereabouts remain unknown to this day. Because of these two real and fake black gems, Wu Xingchi and the Zheng sisters formed a conflict. During the fight between the two sides, Wu Xingchi and Zheng Xiaoyan fell in love and killed each other. Wu Xingchi has been doing his best to help Jianghu detective Ye Junchi on his journey to discover the whereabouts of the real and fake black gems and to reveal the true identity of the person behind the scenes with ulterior motives. Wu Xingchi discovered that Zheng Xiaoyan was the old love of Jianghu detective Ye Junkai, and Ye Junkai's new love was Song Zhuer.
