Inspired by classic wuxia media such as The Legend of the Condor Heroes and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, this piece is a depiction of the Martial Artist's Journey through a distinctly feminine lens. While women are depicted as equals in martial skill, they are either the love interest or the treacherous villain, and it rare to find a leading woman protagonist in this genre. The work emulates the format of a handscroll, in which the narrative unfolds from right to left, and it follows the path of an unnamed girl, who experiences various trials to discover her own path as a martial arts master.
