In Daming Lake, which was rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty, a lotus absorbs the essence of the sun and moon, and it takes hundreds of years to cultivate the human body. Because he was born in Xia Yu, he named himself Xia Yuhe.
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, she met Emperor Qianlong incognito on his southern tour by Daming Lake. The two fell in love at first sight and became engaged for life. Qianlong made a promise to return, but he never returned. Xia Yuhe was pregnant with a dragon seed, but she waited to no avail. She traveled thousands of miles to the capital to find her husband, but was turned away from the palace. The emperor was ruthless and denied his past relationship.
She was penniless and had no relatives. In order to raise her son Nian An, she was forced to fall into prostitution and became the most famous actress in the capital. The lakeside Linghe, who was once untainted by the mundane world, exhausted his cultivation and sincerity due to a wrong encounter.
After years of depression and illness, Xia Yuhe closed his eyes and passed away in the lotus fragrance of Daming Lake, and his soul returned to his old water. Only a sad past story is left, telling the endless sadness of the wrong love.
