A severe drought strikes the borderlands of Chu. Lin Xianyin, the kingdom's only female general, is forced to sacrifice herself to heaven. On the day of the sacrifice, a spring suddenly gushes from the temple's water jar. She falls into it and discovers she can transmigrate to another world. Chu Yubai is an antiques dealer. One day, he discovers that the bathtub in his home has somehow come to life, and an ancient beauty with a deep connection to him emerges from it. In fulfillment of his ancestors' charge, and because of the antiques Lin Xianyin carries, Chu Yubai prepares a great deal of supplies for her, resolving the crisis on the border. Later, after taking her revenge, Lin Xianyin gestures at the antiques and paintings scattered across the floor and says to Chu Yubai, "I can never repay you for your kindness, so these..." But Chu Yubai takes her hand. "Why not repay me by marrying me?"
