On the Spirit Illusion Continent, Ye Mohan is the last survivor of a mysterious reclusive clan. He bears a forbidden power and is cold and aloof, keeping to himself. Chu Moyuan is a prodigiously talented instructor at Tianyuan Academy, gentle and refined, with the world at heart. He is determined to break down the rigid class barriers of the continent.
Su Nian'an is the saintess of Medicine Valley. Kind and innocent, she is well-versed in medicine and devoted to helping Ye Mohan suppress the forbidden power within him. Lin Qinxue, the young mistress of the Ice Palace, appears cool and distant but is passionate inside. Her family's mission binds her to the others. Su Yuzhi is a mischievous genius of the talisman arts, skilled at drawing all kinds of wondrous talismans. She sets out on an adventure in pursuit of lost talisman secrets. Ling Sihan comes from a prestigious family. Arrogant and ambitious, he schemes to take control of the entire Spirit Illusion Continent. Luming is a hot-blooded, straightforward young cultivator who happens to meet Ye Mohan and Chu Moyuan, and from then on follows them on their adventures.
When an ancient ruin opens, revealing a mysterious power capable of changing the balance of the Spirit Illusion Continent, all the major factions rush into action. Driven by their own aims, Ye Mohan and Chu Moyuan are drawn into the conflict. From cautiously testing one another at first, they eventually join forces to thwart the schemes of Ling Sihan and the others. Along the way, feelings quietly blossom between them and the three women, weaving a legendary tale of love and hate.
