In the majestic Ming Dynasty of Imperial China, Ning Haier, a fearless and cunning pirate, leads her band of pirates in a daring heist on a Spanish ambassador ship. There, she meets Michael, a charming and intelligent English merchant, who is taken by Haier's beauty and spirit. As Haier is subsequently captured by the new governor, Shao Zhixun, who seeks to eradicate piracy from China's seas, Michael cleverly convinces Shao Zhixun that Haier is an innocent maiden coerced into piracy, and she is offered a position in his household. Meanwhile, Haier's father, the powerful leader of Ning Citadel, captures Michael and plans to form an alliance with him, offering Haier as his bride in a complex web of intrigue and deception.
