The story begins when Lin Zhaoye comes down from the mountain at the age of eighteen. It goes through five volumes, spans ten thousand years, and is passed on to dozens of generations. It finally reaches the realm of "eternity" - not the eternity of the individual, but the eternity of the spirit. It is the eternity of the "Zhongnan Mountain Spirit" of "helping the weak, teasing the wicked, and living happily."
