Synopsis:
In the Central Plains of the martial world, Sun Yubo, also known as "Old Master", has his residence in opposition with the Twelve Flying Phoenix Sect led by King Wan Peng. Old Master has one son, Sun Jian, and one daughter, Sun Die. He also has two main supporters, Yi Qianlong and Lu Mantian, as well as a capable assistant, Lu Xiangchuan. There is also a secret base called "Happy Forest" that keeps track of the happenings in the martial world. The head of "Happy Forest" is Gao Jiping, also known as "Big Sister Gao", who commands four secret assassins: Ye Xiang, Shi Qun, Meng Xinghun, and Xiao He.
Big Sister Gao mistakenly assumes that Old Master will marry her, but instead hears him appoint Lu Xiangchuan to take over Happy Forest. Enraged and humiliated, Big Sister Gao devises a plan to retain control over Happy Forest and vows to kill Old Master.
Ye Xiang, ordered to assassinate Old Master, coincidentally meets Sun Xiaodie and falls deeply in love with her.
Xiaodie is raped by Lu Xiangchuan through a scheme and, under the influence of drugs, ends up having relations with Ye Xiang when he accidentally stumbles into the scene. However, Old Master refuses to believe Xiaodie's pleas and casts her out.
In a battle with Han Tang, the "killer of killers" sent by Old Master, Ye Xiang manages to survive but becomes incapacitated and can no longer perform assassinations.
With the intention of retiring from being an assassin, Meng Xinghun accepts Big Sister Gao's condition to assassinate Old Master but aims to uncover the true employer behind the assassination plot. He tracks suspicious individuals at Happy Forest. Ye Xiang advises him to quit sooner rather than later.
Meng Xinghun infiltrates as a waiter at the Eight Immortals Tavern near Sun Residence, where he meets Xiaodie...
