A Ruan, the only daughter of General Zhenbei, the God of War of the Qi Dynasty, spent ten years after her father conquered northern Xinjiang. She stayed alone in the empty house and played the flute to express her longing for her. The bamboo flute with plum blossoms engraved on it is the only connection between her and her father. When Concubine Xiang Zhu cried blood and warned her, she realized that her father's life was hanging by a thread.
The enchanting bamboo inkstone in green clothing transformed into a bamboo forest. In order to repay her kindness for being nurtured by the sound of the flute for ten years, she was willing to cut her bones into flags and burn her soul into a torch to forcefully open the way to the netherworld and help her lead her soul back to the sun. Ruan used the essence and blood in his heart as a guide to finally recall his father's remnant soul, but all he saw was an empty shell with no memory. The bamboo inkstone dispersed the soul, leaving only the charred and withered bamboo body.
Ah Ruan guarded the bamboo with white hair, killed it with yellow spring stone, broke the prince's trap, helped the emperor get rid of the traitor, and searched for his father's soul, and finally found the bamboo blooming again and the green branches sprouting again. When Zhu Yan returned as a young man, he was as confused as when he first met him.
