Plot Synoposis:
Beautiful girl Zhan Qing Hong is the daughter of martial arts vice deputy leader, Zhan Po. Since young her father forbids her to be involved in jianghu’s affairs.
The 10-year martial arts conference is approaching, and Zhan Qing Hong sneaks down the mountain without her family, determined to seize the position of the leader of the martial arts.
Zhan Qing Hong, a “three-legged cat” in martial arts, meets Wen You, a gentle and elegant son of the noble family at the bottom of the mountain.
She accidentally helps Lin Fang, the son of the former martial arts leader ascend to the position of leader.
The three work together to quell the civil strife and bring peace.
Zhan Qing Hong and Wen Yu begin to fall for one another, but eventually they are hindered by secular rituals.
At the same time, as jianghu becomes restless, Zhan Qing Hong finds that the family motto she has recited since childhood is actually the first magical skill “Crane Feather Sword” that everyone is eager for.
The martial arts catastrophe ten years ago was even more confusing, and the Zhan family suffered a large disaster.
Qing Hong loses her family members, separates from her lover, and is betrayed by friends. Every blow makes Zhan Qing Hong resentful.
Fortunately, Lin stays by her side, allowing her to stick to the right path. As she grows up, she gradually gains a deeper understanding of chivalry and at the same time finds a happy love.
