Synopsis

Yun Xiang, a disciple of Yuntai, has been training hard for ten years and has entered Jianghu. In the course of his journey, Yun Xiang gained several friends and gradually experienced the warmth of friendship.

The cute, intelligent and alert girl, Shu Yanan, made Yun Xiang develop a hazy affection for her.

Yunxiang and his friends enjoyed a time of happiness.

But the good times did not last long. As he investigated the tragic case of his destroyed family, Yun Xiang discovered more horrifying secrets and the situation turned worse.

After experiencing deceit, betrayal and separation from life and death, he realized that Yuntai which was once dedicated to the welfare of the people, had fallen from grace. Yun Xiang decided to stand up for what was right in his heart, even if it meant sacrificing himself.
