Rumor has it that a strange island called the Bat Island contains numerous treasures and luxuries. The island was actually a black-market auction place featuring exclusive items, such as martial art manual that was not supposed to be passed on to outsiders, as well as secrets, of Jianghu. From time to time, the island’s master, who was known as the ‘Bat Prince’, would send exclusive invitations to select guests to visit the island to participate in this auction. All business deals were conducted inside a pitch-black cave to maintain secrecy.

Through a series of serendipitous events, Chu Liuxiang and his friends Hu Tiehua and Zhang San make their way to Bat Island with other companions.

Chu Liuxiang is a martial arts expert whose prowess in qinggong is one of the best – if not, the best – in the jianghu... more>> (martial artists' community). He wields a metal hand fan as his weapon and uses it only for self-defence.

Usually, he relies on his wit, experience and calm to solve mysteries and overcome enemies who are far more powerful than him. The identity of his martial arts master is unknown, and even the well-informed Shuimu Yinji (水母陰姬) could only deduce that he is an apprentice of Ye Di (夜帝), a character from Daqi Yingxiong Zhuan (大旗英雄傳), another of Gu Long's novels <<less

The moment she stepped into the bridal chamber, the demonic sect’s young master, who had always behaved erratically, gathered all her sharpness and called out obediently to Her Royal Highness the Princess next to the bed, who was wearing a phoenix crown and beautiful robe: “Sister-in-law.”

However, what she received was the meaningful look from the princess by the bed: “Don’t call me sister-in-law, call me wife.”

Young Master Meng, who did not know the meaning of the kiss that landed on the corner of her mouth during the wedding night, finally gradually understood the thoughts of Her Royal Highness in the days that followed.

Meng Chang’an: “Your Highness, I advise you to give up. This young master has never had a fondness for grinding mirrors², and in this lifetime, I will never like women. You should not waste your efforts on me!”

Li Qiubai slowly raised her hand and gently touched the young master’s chest, with a teasing smile, she asked, “How could these efforts be wasted? Look at you, your heart is beating so fast. Even your legs are getting weak…”

Young Master Meng lost her armor along the way but still wouldn’t give up: “Even if you get my body, you can’t have my heart. It’s impossible for me to be in love with a woman!”

One year later:

Her Royal Highness the Princess: “Sister, why don’t you call me sister-in-law?”

Young Master Meng: “Wife…I know I was wrong…”

Since he was about to gush out coarse swear words in front of his granddaughter, he repeated the same remark unpleasantly only to himself.
