Villagers are terrified, and the rumours of a vengeful, murderous banshee spreads amongst the townfolks... the legend of the Jade Raksha.Little does anyone know, the Jade Raksha isn't a banshee, but a human; the sole survivor of a clan war decades ago, between the Yen family and Leng family, where the Leng family gets massacred entirely, leaving behind Leng Chiu Han (Cheng Pei-pei), a little girl who witnessed her parents' death while narrowly escaping with her life, and have trained herself for years to become a swordswoman, assassin, and avenging angel. Now, her quest of vengeance is almost complete, and the only person stopping her is Xu Ying Hao, another swordsman hired to protect the last survivor of the Leng clan.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Dance Battler: Leng's fighting moves resembles ballet dances. Much like Michelle Yeoh after her, Cheng Pei-pei was an accomplished dancer before becoming an actress.

Bootstrapped Leitmotif: The Jade Raksha's theme. Bonus points that it was Leng herself who sings it, every time, to announce her arrival to her enemies before killing them.
