But all that changes quickly after Kido (Matsumine Lilie﻿) – the descendent of the person who smuggled the Buddha’s head out of China – comes to return what she thinks is the stolen item. Kido will only give the item back to the person she believes is its rightful owner, and her quest soon drags a reluctant Xu Yuan into the affair. But as he begins to investigate, he realizes that his arch-rival, the relic-hunting Bu Ran Yao (Li Xian), is hoping to outwit him!
