Once a year, on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month, a group of magpies would create a bridge to reunite the couple for a day. This story has various versions and the earliest known reference dates back over 2600 years in a poem from the Classic of Poetry.

The tale may appear to be one of martial arts dominance, but in reality, it is a story of logic and tension: two decades ago, a tragedy struck the Huashan faction. The elderly leader was left alone after his daughter-in-law Zhou Ruoxi was slain by the traitor Li Zongyou. As a result, the third and fourth techniques of the Huashan School were lost. In the Dugu clan, only Duguying, a young woman, and Duguxue, who had a disability in his legs, remained. Fast forward twenty years. A mysterious young man arrived at the Huashan School. He had a rough voice, a facial scar, and a veil covering his head, giving him a frightening appearance. This individual issued a challenge to the Huashan faction. If no one could defeat him single-handedly, he would take over the position of the leader. Duguying was filled with anxiety, fearing for the future of her father's legacy. Suddenly, another young man appeared at the Huashan School. He was cheerful and claimed that only he could defeat the mysterious challenger, safeguarding the Huashan faction from falling into enemy hands.
