According to legend, the Dapeng bird under the Buddha's seat secretly committed evil in the mortal world. The Buddha sent messengers to hunt it down and engaged in a fierce battle with the Dapeng bird. Five hundred years later, a man was injured and lying in the wilderness. He was rescued by Lu Jing'er (played by Kan Shu-yee), a female worker in a small town embroidery shop. Since then, he has become a worker in the embroidery shop and dyeing workshop. The man met the monk Huiyuan in his dream and solved the mystery of his life. He remembered that his real name was Li Xiuyuan (played by Xiao Zhengnan) and recognized his old friend Fang Zhipeng (played by Shen Zhenxuan). Xiuyuan and the female detective Su Rou (played by Tong Luwen) became enemies. The two secretly fell in love during the repeated fights, but Jing'er also revealed her feelings to Xiuyuan.
