Iceman Cometh

During the Ming Dynasty, there lived four orphans: Ying, Sao, Yuanlong, and Niehu. Raised in Taoyuan Village, the four are like brothers. Their exceptional martial arts skills allow them to reach the highest rank within the imperial guards.

After the four successfully kill the Japanese troop leader, the Emperor orders Ying to escort the Golden Wheel of Time from Sindu (now India) back to the capital. It is said this Wheel of Time have the power of time travel and foresight.

On the way of escorting the Golden Wheel of Time in the snow, Ying is surprised to meet Sao, Yuanlong, and Niehu. They inform Ying of the news of the murder of Tu's family with Ying as the killer. The Emperor believes that Ying killed Tu in order to conceal his identity as a traitor, so the Emperor orders the death of Ying and his clan as punishment. With the trio sent out to catch Ying, a separate troop is sent to Taoyuan to kill the villagers. From the evidence presented to Ying, he concludes that the traitor has to be one of the trio and behind the ruthless killing. Desperate to save the Taoyuan villagers, Ying chooses to fight his way out. The intensity of the duel has shaken the earth, causing an avalanche that buries the four of them.

Now in 2013, Squire Tang, who is funded by a mysterious financier, digs up three ancient icemen from the outskirts of China. They are Ying, Sao and Niehu. As he is transferring the icemen to Hong Kong for further studies, the vehicle is involved in a traffic accident which, unexpectedly, defrosts Ying.

Frozen for 400 years and now arriving in modern-day Hong Kong, Ying meets an intoxicated May on Halloween evening by chance, who later gives him shelter. With his intelligence and hard work, Ying soon becomes more familiar with the idea of modern society with the help of the internet. While adapting to his new life, Ying and May also gradually start to fall for each other.

Ying comes across a historical record on the internet stating that he plotted a revolt that branded him with the reputation of a traitor in history. However, there is no information regarding the fate of the villagers. For Ying to correct history, he must use the Golden Wheel of Time.

Sao and Niehu also arrive at the present time. They continue the chase from the past into the present, eventually leading to a showdown on Tsing Ma Bridge. Yuanlong suddenly appears from a helicopter as a senior police officer. During the encounter, Ying gets shot and falls into the sea, where his outcome is uncertain.
