Setting is the Yuan dynasty: Soldiers rescue beautiful orphan Xiao Wei
(Zhou) from desert bandits. The beautiful Xiao Wei is than taken in by Gen.
Wang (Chen Kun) and his wife, Peirong (Zhao), who both dote on the excessively
courteous and attentive young woman. But three months after she is adopted, the
city is terrorized by an unknown killer who rips out human hearts.Peirong,
who's become less enamored of Xiao Wei than her hubby, suspects Xiao may be a
demon spirit in human disguise, and asks the ex Gen. Pan Yong (Yen), who served
with her husband, for his help. Meanwhile, Pan has become buddies with tomboy
demon-catcher Xia Bing (Betty Sun Li), who's been on the trail of a demon she
has never seen for killing her grandfather. Before he was killed her
grandfather taught her the art of catching demons. While Xiao remains a guest
in the home of the married couple, she relentlessly pursues the love of
Peirong's handsome husband, Gen. Wang. He than suspects his wife is only
accusing Xiao of being a demon out of jealousy. Others who suspect a demon is
in the village all end up dead, even the only monk. Meanwhile, others suspect a
kung foo expert who just before each murder suddenly appears each night in the
town attacking people and fighting Gen. Wang & his men. The three, Peirong,
Yong, and Bing become confused, than seek to find out just who Xiao really is.
One thing they know for sure, the demon needs to feed on hearts to stay alive.
The question is how is Xiao getting out to viciously murder people, rip out
their hearts, and eat it while under heavy surveillance? And, will Peirong be
able to keep her husband from betraying her for the ever so attentive and
beautiful young Xiao
