Mingyue is a land where wulin heroes make their names, and you are one of them. Your daughter grows up in your house, and what she becomes is set by how her years are spent — what she trains in, what she studies, who she is allowed to know.

The jianghu does not wait for her. A blood moon has taken the sky, something in the Forsaken Valley is loosing beasts and demons across the land, and the great sects have banded together as the Three Swords Alliance to find out why. An older conspiracy lies underneath it.

More than sixty characters carry their own allegiances through this. Twelve of them, the Zodiac Descendants, can grow close to her, and some of those bonds can end in marriage. The world keeps score: sects rise and fall on what she does, favours are repaid, and grudges are pursued.

Over fifty career endings and twenty relationship outcomes are reachable, and the same ending can be arrived at along different paths. Later playthroughs open material the first does not show — techniques, characters, plotlines, and answers to questions a single lifetime leaves hanging. There is two to three times the text and event content of Volcano Princess.
