Episode-by-episode plot introduction of "Long Sword Yearning"
Episode 1
During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor neglected state affairs and indulged in wine and women. The great power was controlled by the grand eunuch Liu Jin. Official Mai Yujie held a martial arts selection conference to rectify the江湖 (jianghu - a term often used to refer to the world of martial arts or chivalrous society). Two heroes, Han Yue Dao and Chi Yan Jian were selected. This also led to the meeting of Yan Zhuoyun, who was investigating the massacre at the Yan Family Manor ten years ago, and Zhuo Bofan, the new leader of the Beggar Sect, who was looking into the destruction of his sect a decade ago. Liu Jin arranged for the Emperor's southern tour, creating a false impression to deceive and entrap upright officials Jiang Qin and Mai Yujie. Yan Zhuoyun met the monk Sanle and encountered Xiaojian, who dispensed justice and punished evil. Feng'er, making a show of wealth, entered the jianghu.
Episode 2
Mai Yujie and his daughter Xiaoqiao were saved by Qin Zhao, the most famous detective in Jiangnan, on their way back. A vengeful order appeared in the jianghu, determined to destroy the Mai family. Yan Zhuoyun was highly appreciated by Mai Yujie. Ten years ago, the secret manual of the Beggar Sect, "The Seven Killings Classic," fell into the Yan Family Manor. Yan Zhuoyun intervened to save Feng'er, who questioned why he knew the Yan family sword technique.
