In the past, Yi Jun Qing Cang (played by Lian Yi Ming) waged war against the heavenly clan, which led to the sealing of Qing Cang at a great cost to the heavenly clan. In the same year, Tian Sun Ye Hua (played by Mark Chao) was born. 70,000 years later, Qing Cang broke free from his seal, and Bai Qian (played by Yang Mi), the youngest daughter of the Fox Emperor of Qing Qiu, once again sealed him, but in doing so, she lost her magical powers, memories, and looks. She fell to the mortal world and met and fell in love with Ye Hua, who eventually took her to the heavenly realm. In the heavenly realm, Su Jin (played by Huang Mengying), who loved Ye Hua, repeatedly plotted against Bai Qian and caused her to misunderstand Ye Hua as being cold-hearted, which resulted in Bai Qian having her eyes gouged out. Heartbroken and desperate, Bai Qian jumped off Zhuxian Terrace after giving birth to her child. Her fall broke the seal, and she regained her memories. To forget about Ye Hua, she drank a potion of forgetfulness. 100 years later, they met again in the East Sea. Ye Hua recognized Bai Qian, and they reunited and rekindled their relationship, which also led to Bai Qian's memory being restored. Facing their past grudges, Bai Qian asked Su Jin to return her eyes, but fell victim to another one of Su Jin's schemes, and she refused to forgive Ye Hua. At this time, Qing Cang awakened again, and Ye Hua was unable to explain, so he personally killed Qing Cang but sacrificed his own life to seal the Eastern Emperor's Bell. Bai Qian regretted and blamed herself for causing Ye Hua's death. Fortunately, three years later, Ye Hua awakened, and the two of them reunited once again....
