The tale recounts how Ling Yun aimed to become the foremost martial arts leader, only to be thwarted just as she closed in on her goal. Her brother managed to grab the emperor's attention using his own identity, leaving her lost and adrift. To sidestep any altercations with the emperor, Ling Yun had to marry in her brother's stead. What she wanted was to wait for her future in the palace without worry, but instead, she ended up in deeper water-- embroiled in plots and disputes with Gong Dou and Ling Xing. Ling Yun's remedy for every predicament was to fight it out, for as people say, actions speak louder than words.
