"The Jade Pendant" tells the story of a legend about the world caused by half a jade pendant. Chu Jingchen, the descendant of the Xiaoyao Sect, traveled around the world carrying a jade pendant with a dragon pattern in order to trace the murder of his master three years ago. The seven ebony beads on the sword tassel concealed an unknown code of revenge. Su Muyan, an orphan of the Mohist family, was carrying a jade pendant with a phoenix pattern and half of the map of mountains and rivers. She was chased by the Shadow Pavilion killers and was on the run. The mutton-fat jade flute in her hand was not only the key to the mechanism, but also a weapon for her to fight against powerful enemies.
An encounter in an inn on a rainy night unexpectedly reunited two pieces of dragon and phoenix jade pendants that were supposed to be perfect. When the jade faces touch each other, what emerges is not only the incomplete map pointing to the Kunlun treasure, but also the bloody prophecy of "With seven stars in a row, a catastrophe will occur." Chu Jingchen's "Beiming Heart Sutra" has a warm and nourishing energy, which is a wonderful echo with Su Muyan's Mo family's organ skills. However, due to similar traumatic past, the two of them are repeatedly pulled between trust and suspicion - he can't forget the last instructions of his senior sister, and she can't erase the shadow of family destruction in the sound of the soul-breaking flute.
With the intervention of criminal agents, the coveting of the Shenwei Escorts, and the past of the Xiaoyao Sect and the Mo family, which had been hidden for hundreds of years, was revealed layer by layer, this pair of temporary companions gradually discovered that behind the pursuit of the Shadow Pavilion was a shocking conspiracy to use the Kunlun treasure to subvert the martial arts world; and the blood feud they each shouldered was inextricably linked to the "ban on martial arts" that swept the world twenty years ago.
Under the night sky where seven stars are aligned, Chu Jingchen's ancient sharkskin sword reflects the cinnabar mole on the corner of Su Muyan's eyebrows. The two of them will finally understand that the so-called treasure is never gold and silver, but the redemption that allows each other to let go of their obsessions.
