Li Gexiao is a master in martial arts with intelligence matching his skills. Previously a high ranking Embroidered Uniform Guard with great judicial authority. However, after framed with a crime he had not commit and his family executed, the former marshal had no choice but to become a fugitive. Years later (beginning of the series), he came out of hiding to help a former colleague recover a cargo of stolen gold for disaster relief. He and three chivalrous strangers, thief Yan Sanniang, grifter He Xiaomei, and strongman Chai Hu, unite to form a heroic band of masked vigilantes called "Yi Zhi Mei" (One Blossom Branch) that steals from the wealthiest and the most corrupted to help the people in need, always leaving a plum flower at the scene as their calling card. In the jianghu, they are also a renowned team that fights against injustice, corruption and oppression by the government.
