In 1934, during a conflict, the Shi family in Jingzhen, Shaanxi stumbled upon a bronze dagger believed to have been used by "Jing Qin Qin". The father of the Shi family hid the dagger to keep it safe from the infamous warlord Feng Xiang and his followers. The bronze dagger, which had been dormant for two thousand years after failing to complete an assassination in Jingye, awakened with a thirst for blood. The scramble for the dagger led to tragedy, as the Shi family's father and daughter-in-law, as well as the brothers Mu Shi, were killed by the bandit leader Ke Wen. The brothers, Shi Togo and Shi Youshu, embarked on different paths of revenge. Over the course of ten years, Shi Togo transformed from an angry young man to a skilled assassin, while Shi Youshu attempted to downplay the value of the dagger and fell into addiction. Their differing approaches ultimately led to tragic consequences, with Shi Youshu losing the woman he loved to his brother. Yun Meier, torn between the two brothers, ended up as Shi Youshu's wife due to a twist of fate. In a final act of defiance, she used the bronze dagger to resist her fate and honor her true love for Shi Togo.
