On the night when his lover (Maggie Cheung) married his brother out of spite, Ouyang Feng (Leslie Cheung) left Baituo Mountain sadly and walked into a small town in the desert to become a killer intermediary. His friend, the romantic swordsman Huang Yaoshi (Tony Leung Ka Fai), came to the town every year to drink with him. The news about Baituo Mountain in the wine conversation made him forget the past and gradually turned into self-deception. Huang Yaoshi was only romantic on the surface. He was obsessed with Taohua (Carina Lau), the wife of his good friend "Blind Warrior" (Tony Leung Chiu Wai), who left him forever after her husband died; and he was unwilling to fulfill the promise he had made to Murong Yan (Lin Qingxia), a woman who was obsessed with him, which made Murong Yan lost in her own identity. Hong Qi (Jacky Cheung), Village Girl (Charlie Yeung) and others who had a short-term "hiring a killer" relationship with Ouyang Feng also had a painful past that only they knew and were unwilling to look back on.
