Long Guanbao and Hou Yueying were childhood companions, innocent and inseparable. But after Long’s father was falsely accused by a corrupt minister and removed from office, the two families severed ties, and the young pair could no longer meet.

One day, while out in the countryside, Long happens upon a stray arrow and unexpectedly reunites with Hou. She has since forsaken scholarly pursuits to train in martial arts.I n a quiet moment, they exchange a pair of scented silk balls—one literary, one martial—as a symbol of their bond. These Twin Charms, rich with meaning, seal their lifelong promise.

However, Hou’s father, now aligned with the treacherous faction, betroths her to Leng Bizheng, the son of the very minister who destroyed Long’s family. Hou defies the marriage and flees. While passing Peach Blossom Mountain, she encounters Jinlong, a displaced noble wronged by the same conspirators. She joins his outlaw band, seeking shelter.

Leng, enraged by her escape, falsely accuses Long and his father of colluding with bandits. Forced to flee, Long meets the valiant Zhang Guiying, and the two swear siblinghood. Yet, amid pursuit by government forces, they become separated.

Long travels alone to the capital, adopts a new identity, and excels in the imperial examination, emerging as the top scholar. Zhang, disguised as a man, also enters the exams and becomes the top martial graduate. The sworn siblings are joyfully reunited.

But Leng plots anew. He appoints Zhang as general and Long as her vanguard, commanding them to lead a campaign against the "bandits" of Peach Blossom Mountain—hoping they will eliminate Hou without revealing his schemes.

Though a scholar, Long takes to the battlefield with courage. There, he is reunited with Hou. Yet when she discovers that her perfumed silk ball has ended up in Zhang’s hands, she believes Long has betrayed her. In anguish and anger, she denounces him and descends the mountain to challenge Zhang in a fierce duel...
