Su Yao was the lively, carefree daughter of a wealthy merchant. After an accident left her stranded, she was rescued by Wuwang, a senior monk from Qing'an Temple, and fell deeply in love with him. Newly awakened to love, she defied Buddhist precepts and worldly prejudice to confess her feelings to Wuwang, only to be firmly rejected on the grounds that he had renounced all worldly attachments.
But Su Yao's stubbornness was thoroughly roused. Unwilling to give up on this love, she vowed to melt Wuwang's heart of ice. So she went up the mountain again and again, arranging all kinds of "chance encounters," bringing him homemade pastries, and sharing stories from the world below, surrounding Wuwang with her passionate affection.

As love and Buddhist teachings, worldly life and religious devotion clashed, the two embarked on a strange and winding journey together. Their story is not only tender romance, but also a meditation on faith and obsession. Will Su Yao get her wish and find happiness with Wuwang?
