After taking revenge for her master, Xue Qianxia leaves the mountain where she has lived in seclusion since childhood and arrives in Rongcheng, Snow Country. There, she learns that the famed Xinli Manor is holding a contest to choose a husband. To humiliate the father and daughter of the Li family, Xue Qianxia disguises herself as a man and enters the martial arts competition. She even defeats Mu Kai, the rising young hero of Yunmu Peak.
As part of her revenge plot, Xue Qianxia spreads word that the martial arts treasures left behind a hundred years ago by the “Fifth Embankment Gentleman,” the Purple Sword and the art of mechanisms, are at Xinli Manor.
She even joins forces with the infamous demonic cult to ruin Xinli Manor’s reputation in the martial world. But the traveling physician Yan Qingchen sees through her, and the cult she has allied with turns out to have an even greater scheme of its own.
The struggle of the martial world is ultimately a matter of the good and evil in people’s hearts.
But in the end, will evil fail to triumph over good, or will good fall to evil?!
