With a kind heart and a naturally good nature, Ye Xi might have been a model young lady, had it not been for her lofty dreams and idealistic aspirations. Wanting with all her heart to become one of her generation's greatest and most heroic martial artists, Ye Xi has done everything she could to make her dreams come true. Little does she realize that the road to becoming a hero is often plagued by a never-ending string of trials and tribulations.
Completely unaware of the fact that the human heart often harbors a sinister side, Ye Xi is shocked when her efforts to help the weak are met with darkness and deceit. Used, lied to, and betrayed by those around her, Ye Xi soon finds her reputation in shambles and her life in jeopardy. Surprisingly enough, even after these relentless attacks on her character and even her life, Ye Xi refuses to give up on her belief that justice naturally inhabits the hearts of people; a belief that only grows stronger after she meets a divine doctor by the name of Bai Yue.
With Bai Yue's help, Ye Xi finds a way to overcome her trials, learning invaluable lessons about life, love, and the true spirit of martial arts. But will these lessons be enough to help them eradicate the scum who continue to bring harm to Ye Xi and her people? And will love follow for this idealistic duo?
