Storyline

In ancient China, Liuxi, a scholar from the border of the Nan Dynasty, went to the capital Jing to apply for the college. On the way to Jing, Liuxi found a temple at the foot of Hua Mountain. Inside the temple, there was a fairy named Sanniang who has never seen a stranger. When Liuxi walked into the temple, Sanniang quickly turned herself into a statue because of her fear. Liuxi fell in love with the statue at first sight. He lamented how wonderful if the beautiful statue is a real person, and wrote a love poem on the back of the statue. Sanniang was touched. But there was a ban in heaven, that fairy couldn’t love a mortal. Sanniang wanted to break this ban and be with the loved one. She turned herself into a mortal and found Liuxi. Then they got married. After 3 months, Sanniang was pregnant. But Liuxi’s college entrance exam is approaching. Because Sanniang can’t leave the mountain due to the duty, so Liuxi had to go on the road alone. Before he left, Liuxi had made two Lotus lamps, as the token, one for Sanniang, one for himself. Because the two Lotus lamps were made by Liuxi’s love, so they turned into magic weapons. However, this function is only valid when two Lotus lamps are together. Liuxi went to Capital Jing. The exam lasted for a year. In the meantime, Sanniang gave birth to their son, Chenxiang. Later, Sanniang’s brother found she had violated the ban, and put her in Batu cave. The baby in the swaddle was abandoned by his uncle. Chenxiang flew with the wind to Liuxi’s residence. A letter that Sanniang wrote to Liuxi had been found inside the swaddling clothes. Liuxi was so sad when he learned the truth of the matter. But he has no power to save Sanniang. He just was a scholar. After Chenxiang was grew up, Liuxi told him the story of Sanniang and he. In order to secure his mother, Chenxiang starts his journey...
