On her wedding day, "Marriage Maniac" is heartbroken when her groom flees with debts, shattering her dreams and causing a financial crisis. Alongside her friend "Tomboy," who is burdened with debt from a wedding project, and "Ten Thousand Year Old Fox," who tries to help, they find themselves caught in a whirlwind of trouble. The mysterious "Naive Girl" joins their group, and the four women seek refuge in a villa, where they face new challenges in love, friendship, and their careers.

Three hundred thousand taels of gold suddenly surface in the vast desert, where rumor has it that all who seek the treasure are doomed to become vengeful spirits. An officer of the Imperial Guard sent to investigate descends into madness on his very first day. A loyal and courageous deputy envoy who has ventured too far to turn back finds himself torn between desire and honor. After her entire family is slaughtered, a woman immune to all poisons returns to the vast desert, deliberately making herself the prize every faction is determined to seize as she sets out for revenge. Beneath the vast desert's sweeping sands lie an insatiable greed for gold and a carefully laid trap designed to lure her into the deadly game. From a relay station and an armed escort agency to a general's residence, a band of martial heroes becomes entangled in a deadly struggle across the vast and desolate frontier, bringing the spirit and ideals of Eastern wuxia to life in a new light.
