The greatest thief in the martial world, "Buddha's Hand," vows to destroy Jade Steps, the foremost prison, controlled by the Helian family, in order to rescue their master. After years in hiding, Buddha's Hand is spotted committing crimes in Huaimen, on the border.
To clear her name, the petty thief Qing Chen teams up with Bai Xiu, a newly appointed constable. Once the case is solved, she suddenly becomes a princess sent as an envoy. The thief becomes the princess, the official her servant. Bai Xiu is ordered to escort her to the palace, but discovers she seems to have countless ties to Buddha's Hand.
Their journey is fraught with danger. Qing Chen counters every move, and strikes first when she discovers Bai Xiu's murderous intent. But after overcoming every obstacle and making it to the palace, she encounters Bai Xiu again. He survived by the skin of his teeth, and has another identity.
With Buddha's Hand appearing again and again, and the princess seeming suspicious at every turn, who is Qing Chen really?
Behind the veil of mystery, everyone has their own agenda. When it comes to love and loyalty, which side should they choose?
