Adorable Zhu Yan Zhi (Charlene Choi) is female, but her father (Ti Lung) wants her to learn martial arts from the all-male Soul Ease Clan. To ensure her entry into the school, Yan Zhi disguises herself as a male scholar, but her slight frame and sometimes dizzy nature make it hard for her to pass the rigorous tests. Luckily, she has an ally in the school's top student, handsome Liang Zhong Shan (Wu Chun), who tutors Yan Zhi and even nurses her back to health when she takes ill. The two innocently fall in love, but even knowledge of Yan Zhi's true identity may not insure their happiness. Yan Zhi's childhood friend Ma (Hu Ge) has long carried a torch for her, and is not above using violence and blackmail to insure that she becomes his wife. When Ma's treachery is revealed, Zhong Shan has no choice but to use all that he's learned from the Soul Ease Clan to exact justice. But will it be too late to save Yan Zhi from a tragic fate?
