As a reward for his achievements, belligerent war hero Chu Batian asks the king for princess Qionghua’s hand in marriage. When he finds that Qionghua is in love with knight errant Zhang Jianqiu, Chu flies into a jealous rage. Calling his troops to capture Zhang, Chu threatens to have him killed if princess Qionghua refuses to wed him within ten days. Will Chu’s plan succeed, or will the lovers find a way to outwit him?
