Hmm...I SWEAR I posted a good summary at some point, but if so, I didn't tag it...
Anyway, short version is that the royal family is being wiped out by a group of assassins, and a female warrior is sent to bring back an exiled prince because he's kinda the only one left who could rule. He was exiled because in his youth he was known as the War Prince(or pretty close) but he hated war and eventually refused to fight anymore, so he was exiled as a traitor and has been ducking assassinsd ever since. One of his last acts as the War Prince, of course, was to save her life and give her to a trusted general to raise(iirc, he also gave her his sword because it made her feel safe) They were about 8 and 18 at the time, btw, and the main story takes place about 15 years later.
When they meet, he assumes she's an assassin and tries to get rid of her(understandable, really) but soon the real assassins show up and she convinces him that she's there to help. Insert flight from assassins, romance, angst, midair battles, etc...you know, all the wuxia requirements. It's from the same director(or is it producer, I forget?) as Bicheunmoo, and he tried to fix all the problems the first had(while I like Bicheunmoo, I like Shadowless Sword a lot better, though general opinion seems split between the two)

If I could get some solid blasted sleep I'd likely be all better...only working 4 hours today, then going home(most here are surprised I'm going to hack it that long, but I don't want to use TOO much of my sick pay just yet)
SS is great...it's not Cruching Tiger/Hidden Dragon levels(what is) but is aboce Duelist(in terms of plot, though not visuals) And it has Hwangbo Yoon from Damo as the hero...
