Synopsis and Plot Summary
Wu Xin makes his way to the Shanghai Bund and the story follows his adventures with Xiao Ding Mao, Su Tao, Gu Ji and Bai Liu Li. Similar to Monster Killer 1, the main protagonist has no recollection of the past.
In the 1930's, a person arrives at the Su Manor and requests to purchase a Song Dynasty antique. Master Su refuses and even destroys the antique as a show of his resolve. His daughter Su Tao picks up the pieces and discovers an exquisite copper mirror that will ignite a chain of events. Wu Xin has found a new livelihood as a fortune teller on the streets. He becomes friends and travel companions with Su Tao after saving her life. However, the androgynous Xiao Ding Mao barges into their lives uncharacteristically interested in the pair. He is the godson of a gangster and incredibly shrewd in spite of his young age. (Source: DramaPanda)
