[Quirky and spirited vs. cold and calculating]
Fusheng is a resurrection herb from Mount Shenwu. When she hits a bottleneck in her cultivation, she goes down the mountain to gain experience and accumulate merit.
When a county magistrate's son tries to abduct a young woman, Fusheng takes the girl's place and walks right into the wolf's den.
From then on, howls ring out from the county magistrate's residence every night.
The girl grins. A family should stick together, and make plenty of noise while they're at it.
After arriving in the capital, Fusheng is kidnapped.
She makes do with what's at hand, using a gentle approach to teach the kidnappers the Three Character Classic.
Ji Xiuqi, the regent of the Great Yan Dynasty, was poisoned and harmed as a teenager because of his extraordinary abilities.
Just as his life is about to ebb away, he meets a girl carrying a pot of pothos.
The two are bound by fate through Mount Shenwu.
He thinks they will never meet again, but they reunite over corruption tied to the floods in Jiangzhou.
From then on, the man is always carrying a pot of pothos.
Everyone assumes that the cold, unfeeling regent has developed a love for gardening.
They don't know that the one in his arms is the woman he loves.
She devotes herself to goodness, helps the people, and keeps her hands free of blood, all in pursuit of immortality and the Way.
But that day, within the palace walls, in the Golden Throne Hall, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood lie at her feet, all so that he may live without a care.
At the Lantern Festival, in Fulu Temple, the girl kneels in earnest prayer.
“Ji Xiuqi, why aren't you praying?”
“I believe only in myself.”
But later, the man who was once a bloodthirsty, cold-blooded killer abandons the imperial throne, dons plain robes, and stays by the Buddha's lamp, praying for the girl to be granted the slightest chance of a happy fate.
