Bestselling author Xu Le, struggling with writer's block, takes a job as a taxi driver to find inspiration. He reconnects with old friends, including Pan Neng-xian, a hotel worker who helps him with his writing, and Lu Yi, a former crush turned fashion editor. As their relationships evolve, Xu Le finds new sources of creativity and inspiration.

Heavyset Master An (Got Siu-Bo) receives a message from a dying imperial messenger and finds himself to be the hunted due to the defining, powerful nature of the message. A reluctant hero and not a fighting swordsman at heart (his sword is bent and worn), he's defended by mainly a duo of females and a sneaky swordsman played by O Chun-Hung.

After taking on an entire army to avenge the murder of his master, a tenacious kung fu swordsman (Tang Wei) is forced out of retirement to fight again.
