In the secluded village of Lianhua, nestled within the treacherous Snowpeak Mountains, peace is abruptly shattered by the arrival of a mysterious rider. This rider brings disturbing news: the Black Lotus Sect, a feared group of mercenaries, is seeking the Heart of the Phoenix, an ancient and powerful artifact rumored to grant its wielder immense strength and influence.
Wuxian Lin, the young and skilled heir of the revered Wuxian clan, is thrust into the heart of the danger. With his father away and the village in peril, Lin must leave his tranquil life behind. His mother, Lady Mei, is filled with both pride and worry as she reluctantly allows her son to embark on a perilous quest.
