This is a period martial arts show starring Brigitte as Shu Chu Chu and Adam Cheng as Chu Liu Xiang which he popularized on TV. The show started off slowly. Adam Cheng never appeared until 20 minutes have passed and Brigitte only appeared after the show has started for half an hour. Only in the last half hour of the show did the show picked up. I dozed on and off in the 1st hour of the show. Basically there is a diabolical plot to kill Chu Liu Xiang who is the main obstacle to an evil swordsman who is dressed like an Egyptian pharaoh. This evil swordsman or sector leader deceived Shu Chu Chu that her sister Shu Rong Rong died in vain over Chu Liu Xiang. Shu Chu Chu dressed as a killer in black with an orchid on the face mask went about killing lovers of Chu Liu Xiang with Chu Liu Xiang as a final target. But she changed her mind as she fell in love with Chu Liu Xiang and she found out how faithful he was to Shu Rong Rong. Besides wanting Chu Liu Xiang dead, the evil swordsman also wanted Shu Chu Chu too. Both of them fought the evil swordsman and Shu Chu Chu took a fatal blow on behalf of Chu Liu Xiang.
Its confusing and I rather watch the TV series which has enough airtime to explain the plot. If you must, the show is about 90 minutes, skip the 1st 60 minutes. On a positive note, Brigitte wore great costumes and very nice hairstyles. Definitely, none of the actresses in all the HK TV series I had seen so far had such great hairstyles as her in this show.
