[Original synopsis]
Du Liniang: “I died for you.”
Liu Mengmei: “Then come back to life for me.”
The Ten Kings of Hell: “Come on, come on, here’s the Book of Life and Death. Write your own script!”
Queen Mother of the West: “Love begins without one knowing how, yet it deepens with every passing day. The living can die for love, and the dead can live again. What a wonderful romance! I can’t get enough of it, sob...”
King Father of the East: “Then let’s tear them apart and make them act out three lifetimes together before they get their happy ending.”
Du Liniang, the only daughter of the prefect of Nanan, was raised in the seclusion of the inner chambers. One day, she happened to wander through her family’s garden. Overwhelmed by its springtime beauty, she fell into a drowsy sleep and made love in a dream to a stranger. When she awoke, the experience had planted a sickness in her heart. She yearned for love and died...
As it happened, the stranger in her dream was real. He had also dreamed of Du Liniang, seeing her beneath a plum tree in full bloom, beckoning to him, at once near and far, as if welcoming him and sending him off... When he awoke, he changed his name to Liu Mengmei and left his home, determined to find the plum-blossom beauty.
