In a time-worn ancient city, the two prominent bathhouses of the Bian and Yang families are engaged in fierce rivalry, laden with grudges. To avenge her husband and restore honor, the young and beautiful manager of "Fengquan Pool," Yang Liuqing, collaborates with the Japanese businessman Sakata, who has come to the ancient city to establish a bathhouse, to operate "Yuhe Tang," enduring humiliation in an attempt to defeat their century-old rival "Longquan Pool." A series of tumultuous business conflicts ensues. As the War of Resistance against Japan breaks out, Bian family’s young manager Bian Jiajia is imprisoned by the Japanese army for anti-Japanese activities. His fiery wife, Ruolan, attempts to save him but is raped by Sakata and ultimately takes her own life. Consumed by rage, Bian Jiajia pretends to become a "traitor" to deceive the Japanese army. Yang Liuqing, discovering that Sakata is actually a Japanese spy infiltrating the ancient city, is taken aback and realizes her moral conscience outweighs her longstanding family feud, leading her to set fire to "Yuhe Tang." In secret, a military plan for a "great sweep" has been devised, and various officers and intelligence leaders of the Japanese army convene in the ancient city. With heavy Japanese military vigilance, Bian Jiajia's meticulously planned revenge cannot be executed. In desperation, he thinks of his lifelong love, Lingzhi, with whom he has a complicated relationship. He manages to trick her into giving him a hereditary deadly poison known as "Soul Snatcher Powder," using the guise of the special "medicinal bath" enjoyed by Emperor Qianlong to entertain the Japanese generals, creating a legendary and sensational murder case in the bathhouse that turns it into a graveyard for invaders!
