Synopsis of the story of "The Romance of Apricot Fairy"
The ancient apricot fairy Lingxi has been practicing for thousands of years. When she is about to ascend, she is coveted by the Green Ox Spirit under the Supreme Lord. In times of crisis, woodcutter Du Ruochen sacrificed his mortal body to protect them, and his soul died in the apricot garden. Ling tide painfully cut off her immortal roots, drew half of her immortal essence to seal her remaining soul, and planted the mark of seven generations of reincarnation. From then on, she embarked on a long road to find love.
During the wars of the late Sui Dynasty, the poetry of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the wars of the Song and Jin Dynasties, and the changes of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Lingxi guarded the ancient apricot garden in Jiangjun Mountain and experienced the seven reincarnations of Du Ruochen. In every life, she silently protects and accompanies her lovingly, but she is always obstructed by the Green Ox Spirit in every possible way, and cannot escape life and death. Immortal taboos, reincarnated sadomasochism, and the shackles of fate are intertwined. The immortals are getting weaker and weaker, and their life span is on the verge of exhaustion.
Thousands of years passed, and Du Ruochen's last reincarnation was Chen Yan, a modern historian of Sui and Tang Dynasties. He returned to Jiangjunshan Xinghua Inn for archaeological research. A thousand-year-old jade pendant with apricot patterns awakens the memory of seven generations, and mortals and fairies finally recognize each other. At this time, the curse of the green cow has not disappeared, and Lingxi will be gone when the flowering period comes.
Chen Yan used his mortal obsession to fight against destiny, and his affection for the seventh generation shook the world, and Lord Si Mingxing also came to help. In the end, the curse is lifted, the withered apricots return to spring, the fairies no longer need to ascend, the mortals no longer need to reincarnate, the two stay together in Chang'an, and the thousand-year romance is finally fulfilled.
