The little parasol tree in front of the Qingfeng Mountain temple has become a tree spirit!
Taking human form and entering the mortal world, he names himself Mu Xiaotong and enrolls in a human school.
And so…
The school’s most unusual transfer student arrives: On the first day of school, he falls asleep standing in the sun during morning exercises, looking blissfully happy!
In biology class, he raises his hand and earnestly argues, “Teacher, soil acidity really can affect your mood!”
Math class?! That’s scarier than a heavenly tribulation!
The human world is so complicated.
The crooks who trick him out of his pocket money make him so sad that he drops golden leaves all over the place.
But don’t worry.
Our little sapling has a wonderfully sunny outlook.
He lives under the red flag and grows in the spring breeze.
He’s the most positive and upward-growing little sprout around!
He can’t understand complicated math problems,
but he can hear flowers whisper.
He uses his prettiest leaves to make gifts.
The world isn’t always kind.
Deceit and misunderstanding have made him wilt with sorrow.
Luckily,
he meets Lu Fengchun,
a girl who can see ghosts and is shunned because of it.
Only Lu Fengchun doesn’t think he’s strange.
Only Mu Xiaotong will step forward without hesitation to protect her.
From then on,
one of them is in charge of blundering into trouble with wide-eyed innocence,
and the other is in charge of calmly cleaning up the mess.
They grow up together, from elementary school to high school,
experiencing deceit and kindness side by side.
Then graduation comes, and they reach a crossroads… His spirit form keeps him from traveling far, while she has to go abroad to finish her studies.
Wait for me to come back.
Okay.
But when Lu Fengchun returns after finishing her studies, Mu Xiaotong is hit with a bolt from the blue: she’s going to marry someone else! That means he won’t be her favorite person in the whole world anymore!
See how a little sapling who never forgets his first love crosses the barriers of identity and distance to protect the one springtime in his life.
