At the end of the Northern Song dynasty, Jin forces invaded Bianliang. Princess Maode was captured and gave birth to a daughter while being taken away. The girl's origins were shrouded in mystery. Later, she was rescued by Murong Tianshan, leader of the martial world, who named her Murong Yan and taught her martial arts. Ten years later, she fought the Old Monster of Meishan, but fell into a trap and died. Murong Yan was sealed inside a painting, where she endured a thousand years of cycles of time.
In 2010, after cursing four people to death, the painting accidentally came into the hands of He Lai, a severe stutterer. With the police on his heels and his parents opposing him, He Lai says, "As long as you're well, the sky will be clear," setting time in motion once more and beginning a tale of love, hatred, and vengeance.
