Synopsis

"Bandit Chief" Chu Liuxiang breaks into the palace to steal a wooden figurine carved by "Little Li Flying Dagger" Li Xunhuan and encounters Sikong Xing'er, the daughter of the highly-skilled thief Sikong Zhaixing, and her sworn sister Su Rongrong. While escaping from the guards' pursuit, Li Xunhuan dies trying to save Su Rongrong.

Chu Liuxiang and Su Rongrong team up to investigate the theft of the "Heaven and Earth Holy Water" and develop romantic feelings for each other. They travel south later in search of an antidote and to find out the truth about their family backgrounds. Chu Liuxiang discovers that he is actually royalty and should rightfully be king of a southern kingdom. This sparks off a power struggle in the kingdom. During that period of time, Chu Liuxiang starts another romantic relationship with Sikong Xing'er.

On one hand, Chu Liuxiang finds himself torn between Sikong Xing'er and Su Rongrong as his romantic partner. On the other hand, he has to make a decision on whether to claim the throne or continue roaming freely in the jianghu.
