Description:
In the Merry Forest, Jin Qiang-Li offers a handsome price to the alluring proprietress Boss Gao to assassinate the underworld boss Yang Tian-Biao. Unexpectedly, Boss Gao kills Jin Qiang-Li instead — it turns out Yang Tian-Biao had already paid her to kill Jin Qiang-Li. Boss Gao, the queen of killers, has four helpers: four boys she raised from childhood — Meng Sheng Wen, Ye Xiang, Shi Qun and Xiao He. A year ago Shi Qun went to the northwest on an assassination mission and has not been heard from since. Show more Boss Gao orders Meng Sheng Wen to kill Yang Tian-Biao. Disguised as a cook at the Louwailou restaurant, Meng Sheng Wen contrives to get close to Yang Tian-Biao and successfully completes the task. But Meng Sheng Wen notices that a masked figure witnessed the killing. He fails to catch the witness, but manages to snatch a small jade butterfly pendant worn by the onlooker.
Boss Gao tells Meng Sheng Wen that if he can kill Sun Yu-Bo, she will reveal the origins he has always longed to know. Disguised as a birthday guest, Meng Sheng Wen comes to Bo Manor to scout the place, and unexpectedly spots the witness from before. Following him to the bamboo grove, he finds that the witness is a woman of unearthly beauty. Meng Sheng Wen pretends to seek Sun Yu-Bo's patronage, biding his time to strike. Sun Yu-Bo sends his trusted aide Lu Hsiang Chuan together with Meng Sheng Wen on business to Feipeng Fort. There Meng Sheng Wen befriends Yu-Er, the daughter of the fort's master Wan Peng-Wang.
As he gradually gets to know Sun Yu-Bo, Meng Sheng Wen finds it harder and harder to bring himself to kill him. Through an antique shop he tracks down the witness, who goes by the name Yan Shuang-Fei, and the two fall in love at first sight. In truth she is Sun Xiao-Die, Sun Yu-Bo's daughter, who was forced to have an abortion after becoming pregnant out of wedlock and was driven from the family home. It turns out Xiao-Die had been involved with Lu Hsiang Chuan, but he failed to take responsibility at the crucial moment, leaving her deeply disappointed. With Yang Tian-Biao dead, Feipeng Fort and Sun Yu-Bo are evenly matched. Bo Manor and Feipeng Fort clash again and again, and both sides suffer heavy losses. It turns out that Lu Hsiang Chuan and Tu Da-Peng of Feipeng Fort have secretly been in league, plotting to eliminate their respective masters and seize power for themselves.
Boss Gao has long been in love with Meng Sheng Wen, while Ye Xiang secretly loves Boss Gao. Yu-Er loves Meng Sheng Wen, and Shi Qun, who suddenly returns from the northwest, also falls in love with Yu-Er. Meng Sheng Wen and Xiao-Die are drawn to each other. To conceal his past with Xiao-Die, Lu Hsiang Chuan marries Lin Xiu, yet in his heart he cannot forget Xiao-Die. These people wander the treacherous paths of the martial world, and the feelings in their hearts cannot be cut or untangled.
Boss Gao takes on another job — to kill Sun Yu-Bo's son, Sun Jian. At the crucial moment Ye Xiang, who has been hiding his martial skills, helps Boss Gao kill Sun Jian. Ye Xiang is then ordered to kill Sun Yu-Bo, but Lu Hsiang Chuan silences him. Meng Sheng Wen mistakenly believes Sun Yu-Bo is responsible and swears to avenge Ye Xiang. Unexpectedly, Xiao-Die shields her father from Meng Sheng Wen's fatal blow, and Sun Yu-Bo tells the two of them to flee far away. But Meng Sheng Wen cannot immediately accept what has happened: his mind breaks, his memory is lost, he is separated from Xiao-Die, and he ends up in Peach Blossom Village, working as a blacksmith for Smith Wang to earn a living. Xiao-Die, Yu-Er and Shi Qun find Meng Sheng Wen, and Shi Qun helps him recover his memory. Meng Sheng Wen and Xiao-Die settle into an idyllic life in Peach Blossom Village. But the good times do not last — they are drawn back into the feuds of the martial world. Sun Yu-Bo leads his men to attack Feipeng Fort; in the chaos of battle, Yu-Er falls off a cliff while saving Xiao-Die, and Meng Sheng Wen jumps after her. Tu Da-Peng, exploiting Wan Peng-Wang's grief over losing his daughter, easily kills him and takes control of Feipeng Fort. The unconscious Meng Sheng Wen is rescued by Qingliang Temple, where he studies Buddhist scriptures day after day. But knowing his worldly ties are not yet severed, he returns to the martial world with a serene air about him.
To save Xiao-Die, who is trapped in Feipeng Fort, Sun Yu-Bo himself is thrown into a dungeon. Meng Sheng Wen rescues Sun Yu-Bo. On the night of Xiao-Die and Meng Sheng Wen's wedding, Sun Yu-Bo is struck by Lu Hsiang Chuan's hidden weapon and escapes through a secret passage he had long prepared. Though Sun Yu-Bo is gone, many loyal to him continue to match wits and courage with Lu Hsiang Chuan.
Xiao-Die brings Meng Sheng Wen to Sun Yu-Bo's hiding place, but Lu Hsiang Chuan finds his way there too. In the great battle, Meng Sheng Wen defeats Lu Hsiang Chuan. Cornered with nowhere to turn, Lu Hsiang Chuan is finally killed by the friend he trusted, Xia Qing. Boss Gao once again takes in four homeless children. Sun Yu-Bo, together with Xiao-Die, Meng Sheng Wen, and the now-married Yu-Er and Shi Qun, leaves Bo Manor forever.
