The female lead Lan Meng Yan / Shen Wan Qing (played by Zeng You Zhen) was so very good. Her acting was superb. After all of the women of the family were killed, except the father's wife, most of the women's bodies were burned. Lan Meng Yan died and her face was cut (a giant "X" across her face), by her stepmother. She came back to life and she escaped. She was rescued by Qin Mo Xiu. He had her face changed and her voice changed. He trained her for 3 months in archery, weapons, some martial arts and more. When Lan Meng Yan married into the Lui family, she started her path for revenge. She turned father against son, both vying for her attention and affection. Her new background was being a daughter from a merchant family. Yes, she married her own brother, but she kept him at a distance. She turned her stepmother (father's wife) against her own brother and she soon killed him. Since the stepmother's son was being threatened by his father, the stepmother tried to sneak him out of the household in a casket. She thought her stepdaughter was dead and in the casket with her son. The stepmother nailed the casket shut, only to find out later that stepdaughter (Lan Meng Yan) was not in the casket at all, but very much alive. The evil stepmother rushed to remove the casket lid that she had previously nailed shut, only to find her son dead inside. The stepmother ended up killing her brother and her son, driving her mad. She was beaten severely by her husband (Lan Meng Yan's father) and locked in a room. Lan Meng Yan entered the room and dropped a bottle of poison for her evil stepmother. All the while, Qin Mo Xiu kept an eye on Lan Meng Yan, acting to protect her when necessary. He did call Lan Meng Yan his pawn one time to many and she let him know that she did not like it; he never called her his pawn again. Lan Meng Yan and Qin Mo Xiu took out all of the Liu lamily member, with the exception of her father. He showed up at the opera as one of the actors. We was later exposed to the crowd and his image was ruined. He was later killed.

Next, Lan Meng Yan and Qin Mo Xiu entered a secret spy club and Lan Meng Yan was poisoned, making her into a controllable puppet of sorts. Qin Mo Xiu broke her out of the puppet state. Later, Qin Mo Xiu was hit by a poisonous dart, as him and Lan Meng Yan investigated the areas of the facility. She cured him of the poison. There was a contest between the young woman of the spy facility. Lan Meng Yan was knocked out and tied up, so she could not participate. A strange man came into the room and he wanted to have his way with her, but she killed him with the weapon strapped to her right leg. She untied herself, grabbing a bow and some arrows. Lan Meng Yan went from room to room shooting the evil men (mostly ministers of the court), killing them and helping the young ladies escape. She killed almost all of the ministers herself, but one was left for the other ladies to kill.

The last part of this drama was about a general who was receiving all of the monies from the Liu family, via the opera and the spy organization. The general was planning to rebel against the emperor. In the meantime, the emperor wanted to question and punish Lan Meng Yan and Qin Mo Xiu for the killing of his ministers. She told him that the minister were trying to torture, rape and kill the women of the spy faculty. He did not seem to care about the women, just his ministers. Whe the general's rebellion started, two eunuch's tried to poison the emperor, but Lan Meng Yan shot both of them dead, saving the emperor. She lead some women (in special outfits) into the room where the rebelling general and Qin Mo Xiu were. Between Lan Meng Yan and Qin Mo Xiu they killed the general's soldiers, thwarting the rebellion. Qin Mo Xiu fought with the general, beating him down. He handed the sword over to Lan Meng Yan who stabbed the general and quickly slashed his neck with the sword. The general died.

The emperor wanted to make Qin Mo Xiu a Duke, but Mo Xiu declined. He wanted to walk hand in hand with Lan Meng Yan. At first she would not take his hand, but later reached out and took his hand. They ended up walking off, hand in hand. The end.
