In 1778, Qing dynasty China, Li Mu Bai is a renowned Wudang swordsman, and his friend Yu Shu Lien heads a private security company. Shu Lien and Mu Bai have long had feelings for each other, but because Shu Lien had been engaged to Mu Bai's close friend Meng Sizhao before his death, Shu Lien and Mu Bai feel bound by loyalty to Meng Sizhao and have not revealed their feelings to each other. Mu Bai, choosing to retire from the life of a swordsman, asks Shu Lien to give his fabled 400-year-old jian sword "Green Destiny" to their benefactor Sir Te in Beijing.
