Shen Jinghong was regarded as a "waste" in the Broken Star Pavilion of the lower sect because he was unable to practice internal skills. He was responsible for guarding the Sutra Pavilion all year round and was ostracized. But she did not give up. With amazing perseverance, she secretly learned basic swordsmanship using "clumsy methods" - using stones to carve sword marks to figure out the moves, practicing repeatedly with an iron ruler to polish the feel of the sword, listening to the wind and watching catkins to hone her reactions and eyesight.
One day, the Tiandao Alliance raided Broken Star Pavilion in the name of a search and massacred their fellow sect members. The master of the pavilion died tragically. Shen Jinghong managed to escape by hiding in a secret passage in the Sutra Pavilion. During his escape, he accidentally brought out a copy of the "Wuwang Sword Sutra" which was regarded as "waste paper". This disaster caused this despised "good-for-nothing" to embark on an unknown future, and also caused her to form a bloody feud with the Tiandao Alliance...
