Su Qingluo, the orphaned daughter of a general, has tended the moon silkworm grass her father planted before leaving for war for ten years. Every evening, she plays the bamboo flute he left behind, its melody carrying a decade of longing and waiting. Then, on a full-moon night, the moon silkworm grass blooms with silver light, and a silver-haired, silver-eyed young man in white steps out. His name is Bai Xian, a guardian her father left behind through a pact made with his life soul. After ten years of loneliness, her waiting is finally answered. But her father is trapped in Soul-Severing Valley on the northern frontier, his soul scattered and his life in danger. Su Qingluo resolutely sets out to save him, and Bai Xian follows close behind, turning cocoons into banners and burning his soul like a torch to light her way back from the Yellow Springs. More astonishing still, the moon silkworm spirit pet takes human form and its first words are: "I want to marry you. It was the general's dying wish, and it's what I truly want, too." After ten years alone, she has finally waited for him to come for her.
