Plot Synopsis
In the twilight of the Ming Dynasty, the Imperial court is plagued by corruption as tyrants rule over the land. With the Manchurians preying on a weakened empire, war is imminent.
The situation is even worse near the northwest border, where widespread famine is rapidly claiming lives. To save the victims from further suffering, sorceress Jade Raksha fights the soldiers that oppress people for their own gain. As payback, local government officials decide to pin the murder of Governor Zhuo Zhonglian on Jade, turning her and the members of her cult into wanted fugitives for a crime they didn't commit.
Meanwhile, Wudang sect's Master Ziyang intends to nominate disciple Zhuo Yihang to become the next sect leader, sending him to the capital to present the Red Bolus to the Emperor as royal tribute. However, the Emperor dies after consuming the Red Bolus, and the Imperial Guards are quickly dispatched to capture Yihang.
Now an accused murderer on the run, Yihang flees to the northeast border. While helping the famine victims, Yihang witnesses Jade Raksha's prowess and ferocity in battle. After realising they're in similar circumstances, Jade brings Yihang to Moonlight Village. Dubbed "The Demon's Cave" by government officials, Moonlight village is actually a paradise on Earth. There, Yihang is immediately attracted to Jade’s transcendent beauty and her strong sense of honour. The two soon fall in love and decides to take the eternal vow of marriage.
However, the Imperial Guards invade Moonlight Village and capture Yihang, who is told that Jade is responsible for the death of Zhuo Zhonglian, Yihang's grandfather. Heartbroken and betrayed, Yihang is arrested and put into jail. Master Ziyang commits suicide to protect his disciple, but the scorned Yihang chooses to leave Wudang and joins the villains by marrying a tyrant’s daughter. Upon hearing the news, Jade breaks into the wedding and stabs Yihang in the heart. Jade’s pain causes her hair to transform from black to blinding white in just one night...
In an era of chaos and impending war, will this pair of star-crossed lovers overcome earthly grudges and finally be together as fate had always intended?
