Story
Li Yue, the son of the late commander in chief, wanted by court order for the murder of a courtier, an act of retaliation, flees to a small town where he lives under a different name, Jiang Qi, and works as a groom. A robber girl named Xiaomei falls in love with Yue, but the guy himself loves Liu Zhener, the girl he was forced to leave. Yue meets swordsman Fang Junzhao, who is looking for Li Yue at the request of Zhener. At the same time, Junzhao is sought after by the young master of the island of Flying Fish, Tu Lun, after Junzhao rescued Zhener from the gang of Tu Lun’s father, Tu Qianqi, and killed his son Qianqi named Hu. Thanks to Xiaomei, Zhener comes to Li Yue’s house, but Yue flees to the island to fight the Tu Tianqi gang, because she believes that Zhener is in love with Junzhao and that Zhener is not worthy of living with a runaway criminal. Li Yue fights to the end and destroys enemies until he is mortally wounded with a Qianqiu blade. Zhener rushes to him, then kills himself. Lone Junzhao continues the life of a lone wanderer.
