Synopsis and Plot Summary

The story is about the secret service agent, Zhou HuaiAn, who is tasked to protect Ying GuanZhen (alias: Xiao YingWang). He meets Jin XiangYu, the owner of Longmen Inn and Qiu MoYan, a chivalrous woman leading to a story of love and hate.

During the end of Ming dynasty, members of the royal family fight for the throne, pirates threaten the country’s borders and Mongolian tribes rise in the Northwestern region. Although Zhou HuaiAn (Ma Ke) has no interest in politics, he hates Dong Chang and the corruptness that it represents. Taking his teacher’s advice, he doesn’t directly confront Dong Chang but instead chooses to protect Ying GuanZhen (Liu Yao Yuan). His experiences and adventures from various places allow him to increase his skills in martial arts, making him the leader of the 36 islands and the number one chivalrous hero in the nation.
