In ancient China, people revered the four seasons and regarded them with awe and mystery. The ancient gods of spring, Gou Mang; summer, Zhu Rong; autumn, Ru Shou; and winter, Xuan Ming, have lost their powers and their ability to govern their respective seasons. The resulting imbalance of the seasons has filled people with fear and worry. Each god sets out on a journey, crossing mysterious mountains, rivers, lakes, and forests, seeking magical treasures and enduring trials in a wondrous quest to regain their power.
