A 1995 Chinese RPG blending wuxia martial arts with fantasy and supernatural mythology. You control Li Xiaoyao, a 19-year-old from a fishing village who loses his memory after a forced marriage to a fairy. When he meets her again, he doesn't recognize her—but agrees to help find her missing mother. The journey spans southern China, picking up companions including a martial artist's daughter you accidentally marry in a tournament. Combat uses turn-based mechanics while the story escalates from personal quests to clan politics. Your love interest is revealed as a half-serpent spirit imprisoned by a powerful sect. Expect tragic sacrifices, a pregnancy subplot, and drought-stricken lands caught between warring factions. The ending sparked debate over whether a dead character truly returns. Spawned a major franchise across Taiwan and mainland China.
