Synopsis
During the Northern Song Dynasty, Dao – a young and capable fighter – travels to the capitol in
hopes of becoming a constable and use his skills to defeat the bad guys. Naïve to the ways of the
world, Dao is duped by other constables to track down a nonexistent bandit. However, he
accidentally stumbles upon an underground society called the Wuyinmen.
What follows is set in the martial arts world, but this isn’t a martial arts story.
Each Wuyinmen member has a supernatural ability, and they’re all hiding in our world under all kinds of disguises. Instead of taking in the spotlight, they just want to remain in their positions, much to Dao’s confusion. He soon learns that the society’s leader has been missing for some time, and that
anyone who inherits the leader’s power can become the successor. This successor doesn’t even have
to be a member of the society in the first place! However, no one has appeared to claim the position.
One day, Wuyinmen member Zhuge returns with Yuan, a young girl that may be the new leader that
society members have been waiting for. However, the girl brings more than just hope to Wuyinmen;
she also brings trouble and panic. Yuan reveals that she can transform into a human-monster hybrid at
any time – a transformation that would cloud her consciousness. This is a potential catastrophe for
the Wuyinmen.
While searching for a solution for Yuan’s problem, the underground relationship between Zhuge and
Iron Dragonfly’s secret relationship is exposed. When Yuan and Dao also jump into the fray, the four
find themselves entangled in an odd four-sided romantic conflict.
Meanwhile, a paranormal creature with terrifying powers has been hiding in our world all along,
waiting for its chance to destroy mankind. Thanks to the secret efforts of the Wuyinmen, the world
has been able to carry on in peace without being aware of the creature. However, what they don’t
know is that the creature’s powers have increased to uncontrollable levels. To ensure the safety of the
world, the extraordinary warriors of the Wuyinmen are ready to step and take down the creature.
