Morally ambiguous, the Spiritual Heaven Sect is an influential group that has remained secluded for years. Ten years ago, young lady Ling Xuan encountered two dying siblings and, in exchange for saving the younger sister's life, made a ten-year pact with the young man. She brought him into the sect's Shadow Pavilion for training, promising that if he survived, he would become her assistant. The young man fought hard and emerged alive with the name Ying Shi. Meanwhile, the sect is faltering as Ling Xuan's father, the sect leader, covets the Wanxin Technique and incites chaos in the martial arts world, even turning against his own daughter. To protect herself, Ling Xuan disguises herself as a foolish and ruthless person. At this moment, Ying Shi is sent to approach Ling Xuan to seek the Wanxin Technique. Through trials and dangers, they build trust, only for Ling Xuan to uncover Ying Shi's shocking secret just as they fall in love.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
