During the reign of Yingzong (1457-1465 AD), the powerful eunuch Wang Zhen was in control of the government and collaborated with the Mongol prime minister Zhang Zongzhou to overthrow Ming Dynasty. Those officials loyal to the Ming government were prosecuted.

An old official Ruan Qing, who had been an ambassador to Mongolia for years, was on his way back to mainland China with his granddaughter Ruan Lan. He was escorted by close friends Xie Tianhua and Monk Chaoyin. As they were arriving at Yanmen Gate in Shanxi province, some Mongol troops stopped them. A Mongol general tried to persuade Ruan to remain in Mongolia, saying that he would be assassinated by Ming officials if he returned to China. Xie volunteered to see what happened at Yanmen Gate and was arrested. Soon he was released by Zhou Jian. As Xie and Zhou returned, Ruan had been poisoned to death by the Ming officials receiving him. With the help of Monk Chaoyin, Xie and Zhou then killed all the Ming officials and sent Ruan's granddaughter to learn swordsmanship in a school nearby.

Ten years later, Ruan finished her studies in swordsmanship. She disguised herself as a man and looked for an opportunity to avenge her grandfather's death.

On her way she witnessed a robbery and helped recovering the money at the Golden Sabre Stronghold. There she met Zhou Jian who had helped rescuing her grandfather ten years ago. His son Zhou Sanmin was fond of her and sent her a jade ornament to express his love. Ruan was not interested at all and left a few days later.

Then she arrived in Yangqu, where she met a scholar Zhang Danfeng, whose purse was stolen by two thieves. Ruan helped Zhang to recover his purse, but in turn hers was stolen by Zhang. She rushed to a deserted temple to get it back and left after a big quarrel with Zhang.

Chased by the two thieves, Ruan came to the Black Stone Villa, where its master Shi Ying was hosting a martial arts tournament to select a groom for his daughter, Shi Youfeng. Ruan won the tournament and was forced to marry Shi's daughter. Embarrassed and not knowing how to explain, she pretended to be heavily drunk and slept alone.

After midnight, Zhang came to talk to Shi. Ruan overheard their conversation and knew that Zhang was the son of the Mongol prime minister. She thought the Mongols were the ones who murdered her grandfather and wanted to kill Zhang. Shi stopped her and went on to explain the entire story. Ruan also explained she was a girl and became a matchmaker for Shi's daughter and Zhou Sanmin.
