The Sunflower Manual was said to contain secrets to a skill so powerful that its practitioner could rule over Wulin and even China. Over the years, great wrongs and atrocities have been committed by those trying to possess it. Many were willing to sacrifice their bodies and their souls to gain such power. Linghu Chong, a disciple of the Mount Hua sect, had no such ambitions. He only wished for a simple, carefree life where he can enjoy good wine and marry the girl he loved. But fate has other plans for him. (Source: Wikipedia) ~~ There are 2 versions: 40 episodes/60 min (TV) | 43 episodes/55 min (international)
