But there is one match she wouldn't be opposed to, and that's with her childhood friend, Liu Kang. When news of Liu Kang's engagement reaches Ruyun, she's more heartbroken than expected and swears off men. She escapes to the capital city of Chang'an to fight a mysterious plague with supernatural origins. She vows to return a hometown hero and gloat about her success to Liu Kang.

 

But when Ruyun meets a handsome young officer, she may find herself fighting a match she can't win.
