This series centered on Wang Chongyang's life before he becomes a taoist. He was never supposed to be born, as his parents' love was forbidden. It also tells of his love for Lin Chaoying (founder of Gumu Bai). Even though, this was mostly made up by TVB, it still told simple details of the characters in LOCH. In this series, Wang Chongyang was the winner of the Hua San Luen Jian and therefore possessed the Jiu Yin Zhen Jing, which he entrusted to his sect brother, Zhou Botong, before he died. Since he loved his country more than Lin Chaoying, he abdicated his life for the glory of his country, but then when he lost, he retreated and built the Quanzhen Jiao.
