Butterfly (Joey Wang) has nothing to do with the martial arts world. Her father was once a renowned member of the martial arts world, but she is just another young girl deeply in love with Meng Sing Wan (Tony Leung). They live happily in a small hut next to a river, where he spends time trying to catch fish, and writing poetry. From time to time, Sing has to go away on business to earn money, that’s what he tells her anyway, but the horrifying truth is that he is an assassin. —wikipedia.org
