A quirky xianxia tale about two little immortals from the divine realm, Youle and Qingwu. They fall in love and break the laws of heaven, so the gods punish them by casting them into the cycle of reincarnation.
In the divine realm, two little immortals fall in love: Youle, who oversees the flowering season of the Manjusaka, and Qingwu, who oversees its leafing season.
But the gods say that immortals must sever all ties of affection. That is the law of heaven!
So they become demons, but fate cannot be defied. The gods unleash their punishment, and the Flower Demon and Leaf Demon fall into the cycle of reincarnation.
They reincarnate again and again, never finding a happy ending. At last, she understands: the gods’ punishment was not that they could not love, but that they could never be together.
“I’m not giving up. I just don’t want to anymore. We cannot defy fate or change it. This is the best outcome I can imagine. From now on, there will be no more Leaf Demon in this world, only a true god.”
Along the road to the Yellow Springs, by the River of Three Crossings.
I guard the river; you guide the people across.
