The film will premiere exclusively at iQiyi Cloud Cinema on January 25th and will be the first installment of the "Action Master Season" to meet the audience. This film is based on the classic Chinese opera work "Blocking the Horse", integrating various elements such as kung fu, suspense, comedy, and traditional Chinese opera, reproducing the bold and heroic demeanor of Yangmen female generals and the unwavering loyalty of the old Yangmen.

Liu Hua and Liu Fengchao have shown their friendship, and Feng Lei and Zhu Shimao have been invited to star. According to Li Wei, the team has reintroduced the legendary Mo Dao based on historical documents, and designed a new set of knife techniques based on the protagonist and this Dao, making "Mo Lu Kuang Dao" more exciting to watch.
