Set against the backdrop of the troubled times of the Republic of China, it tells the story of the love-hate relationship between Gu Zhizhou, a son of an official, and Su Qingci, the daughter of a movement leader, which spans hundreds of years. The two fell in love when they first met in a lotus pond, but they experienced obstacles due to their family status and the turmoil of the times. In the end, they both died in the "White Resistance Movement", leaving only the bloody white clothes and cracked jade as evidence. Su Qingci's soul wandered the world with obsession, searching for Gu Zhizhou's traces for hundreds of years; Gu Zhizhou was reincarnated as Shen Yan, and because of a bizarre dream, he awakened the memory of his previous life, and embarked on the road of tracing with the rags and tokens in the dream. When Shen Yan reunited with Su Qingci's relics in the museum, the soul across time and space looked at each other with the reincarnated lover. The unfinished "Lotus Plucking Song" and the unfulfilled dream of staying together are waiting for perfection in the fragrance of lotus and the years.
