Synopsis
The series is set in 17th-century China during the Ming dynasty. A power struggle over the succession takes place between Prince Rui, who is backed by the jinyiwei and Eastern Depot, and the crown prince, who is supported by the Wudang Sect.
To prevent the Wudang Sect from interfering, jinyiwei chief Murong Chong attempts to incite conflict between Wudang and an outlaw band. At the same time, he sends his deputy Yue Mingke to persuade the outlaw leader, who is known as the "Jade Rakshasa", to surrender to the Ming government and help them destroy Wudang. Honghua Guimu, who secretly controls Eastern Depot, also gets involved in sowing discord between the outlaws and Wudang.
The "Jade Rakshasa", whom everyone believes to be the swordswoman Ling Muhua, is actually Ling Muhua's apprentice Lian Nichang, who has been impersonating her master. Lian Nichang, who has fallen into a state of zouhuorumo, will go berserk once a month and indiscriminately slaughter anyone who crosses her path. She only hopes to find her missing master, the only person who can help her recover.
Meanwhile, Lian Nichang meets and falls in love with Zhuo Yihang, a Wudang swordsman groomed to be the sect's next leader. However, their romance faces opposition from the Wudang Sect. Furthermore, Zhuo Yihang's junior He Ehua has a crush on him, and fellow Wudang swordsman Geng Shaonan, who secretly loves He Ehua, feels jealous of Zhuo Yihang and plots to harm him.
