Qi Mo was a renowned court painter, famous throughout the empire. His skill was superb, but his personality was proud and aloof. Because he couldn't paint the "perfect beauty" the emperor demanded, he faced execution.
At the height of his despair, Qi Mo met Yun Zhi in the royal garden, a breathtaking woman in a pale pink gauze dress. She was as perfect as if she had stepped out of a painting, and she inspired his creativity.
Qi Mo used Yun Zhi as his model and completed the painting, never knowing she was a peach blossom spirit who had cultivated for a thousand years. She had come to repay him for saving her life in a past incarnation, and the day the painting was completed would be the day her spiritual power ran out.
When Qi Mo noticed Yun Zhi growing weaker and the petals in the painting behaving strangely, Yun Zhi confessed her true identity and purpose. It turned out the two of them had shared an unfinished romance in a previous life.
With Yun Zhi's imminent disappearance hanging over them, Qi Mo had to choose: preserve his own life and future, or give everything up to save the spirit who had come for him.
