When a martial heroine from ancient times meets a modern detective, what is she protecting: cultural relics, or the balance between two worlds?
At a moonlit harbor, a police sting targeting a drug deal takes an unexpected turn. Just as a criminal sets off a grenade, a dark-clad figure swoops down from a gantry crane. With her skirt flying, she flicks the grenade into the sea with the tip of her foot. Thus does Liu Ruyin, a martial arts master from ancient times, enter the world of Shen Yi, chief of the major crimes unit.
She incapacitates enemies with pressure-point strikes and vaults over rooftops, but has no idea how to use phones or computers. He follows procedure and believes in technology, yet everything he knows is turned upside down. To investigate the mystery of her transmigration, she has no choice but to work with this constable from a “world of iron boxes.” To destroy the mysterious criminal organization known as the Shadow Alliance, he is forced to accept this walking “human weapon.”
When the long-lost evil art, the Bone-Eroding Poison Palm, resurfaces in the city, and a thousand-year-old jade disc at an auction is found to conceal a space-time formation, they discover that the relics the Shadow Alliance is seeking are the key to her return home. And the true goal of the mastermind known as “Mister” is to tear apart the barrier between their worlds!
She wields her sword like the wind beneath the neon lights, while he casts a net through the depths of data to capture his prey. Lightness skills clash with sniper fire; inner energy meets technology. As their trust teeters amid clashes of belief, and a poisoned blade pierces the chest of the one who would protect them, he roars through his bloodied teeth, “This is my world! My rules!” She points her sword at the sky. “If the rules cannot stop disaster, then I’ll redraw them with the sword in my hand!”
A furious symphony of modern crime and classical martial arts, the ultimate collision of technological laws and martial power. In the shadowed cracks between this city’s lights, a covert battle for the survival of two worlds is about to begin.
