Woo Chin Lin plays a brilliantly skilled hitwoman, Shu Li Fan, who for most of the movie has no name. She also has no family or friends, and for reasons not entirely clear, has a lower than average body temperature. She was rescued as a child from war-ravaged Cambodia, and raised by Mei (Shirley Wong), who is the widow of an assassin. Mei teaches the child the only thing she knows that connects her to the world: contract killing. Shu Li Fan's victims are as mysterious to her as she is to herself. However, during one of her hits she makes a sworn enemy of a Korean killer (Han Sang Woo.) There is one small ray of hope in her grim life, and that is the beginnings of a love affair with a simple and sweet-natured noodle vendor Long Shek (Hong Kong actor Lau Ching Wan).
Shu Li Han (Wu Chien-lien) is a cold-blooded hit woman, literally; her body temperature is a constant 32 degrees. Tired of life as a gun for hire, she decides that her job to assassinate a Korean kingpin will be her last. The job is a success, but the bodyguard of her victim wants revenge. As Han dodges attempts on her life from the determined bodyguard, her cold-blooded personality begins to thaw when she develops a friendship with a local street vendor who has a crush on her.
