Lingxi has been bearing the mark of the cinnabar flower on her forehead since she was born. The fortune-teller concluded that she was the reincarnation of the Flower Lady. She was destined to turn stones into gold and control flowers, trees, and monsters. She was destined to shine on the family lintel. But this precious life suddenly changed when she was twelve years old - a high fever plunged her into a strange fantasy. Ink-like shadows crawled in front of her bed, and faceless children appeared in the mirror. The evil spirits attracted by her spiritual power were eating away at her vitality bit by bit.
When she was dying, Grandma Zhi appeared from the moonlight, leaving a seven-petaled lotus in the southwest for guidance, and told her to find an expert with hands and eyes that could reach the sky to save her life. With the remaining warmth of the petals in her palms, Lingxi packed her bags and embarked on a dangerous journey: the sharp questions from the spirits on the locust tree when asking for closure, and the warning signs of wild flowers turning into butterflies in the cracks of the rocks, all confirmed that this road to survival is full of thorns.
It wasn't until I met Taoist Xuanqing by the cliff and waterfall that the mystery of the seven-petaled lotus blooming in the crack of the stone was finally revealed. Becoming a disciple, learning the art of collecting souls, and practicing the art of forming formations. The noble girl who was raised in a boudoir in the past has become a Taoist disciple in Qingyun Temple, accompanying herself with talismans, vegetation, and trees. She gradually understood that the spiritual power of the Palm Flower Empress was never a smooth pass, but a bargaining chip in the game against the monsters of heaven and earth and the calamities of the world.
When the whispers of the flower spirits and tree spirits gradually rise in her ears, and when the ritual of Xiaomi's soul collection illuminates the cold night, Lingxi holds on to the wooden sword taught by Taoist Xuanqing - on this road of seeking Taoism where her life is at stake, she not only has to survive, but also to find the true power of the Palm Flower Empress in the face of countless hardships.
