Description

Based on a popular wuxia (chivalry and martial arts) novel by genre-master Liang Yu Sheng, the story follows a series of unfortunate events set into motion by men hungry for the legendary Kun Wu sword, promising ultimate power to those who possess it. Families and lovers are tragically torn apart in the bitter struggle for the sword, nurturing resentment and hatred that fuels a meaningless and devastating quest for revenge as fates become intertwined and long-hidden truths are revealed.
